Install Guide

A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations

NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.

1. Appliance Location

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,

re o󰀩cials or authorities having jurisdiction over

restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using

exact measurements for clearances and oor protection,
before actually beginning the installation. Location of the
appliance and chimney will a󰀨ect performance.

Consideration must be given to:

• Safety, convenience, tra󰀩c ow

• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and

to minimize the use of chimney o󰀨sets.

• Place the appliance where there will be a clear
passage for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and
roof (vertical) or through exterior wall (horizontal).

• Installing the required outside air kit will a󰀨ect the
location of the vent termination.

When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal
location is to vent above roof line when possible. This

minimizes the a󰀨ects of wind loading.

Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you

must consider the location of:

• Windows

• Air Intakes

• Air Conditioner

• Overhang, so󰀩ts, porch roofs, adjacent walls

• Landscaping, vegetation

• Horizontal or vertical vent termination

2. Floor Support

The supporting oor under the appliance must be able to

handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.

Ensure that your oor will support these weights prior to
installation. Add su󰀩cient additional support to meet this

weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the

appliance is 426 lbs with a full load of fuel the max weight

is 473 lbs.

WARNING

Risk of Fire.

Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT

install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.
