PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL
A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise
when wood burning appliances are improperly installed.
The installer must follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions.
The installation of a wood burning appliance must conform to local codes and applicable state and federal
requirements. Familiarity with these requirements before installation is essential. Important considerations to
discuss with local building officials include:
1. Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code,
State or Regional Codes)?
Electrical codes: Optional Blower Assemblies have
a flexible electrical cord that must be electrically
grounded per local codes or per electrical codes:
In USA, NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987
In Canada, CSA C22.1
WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH A
THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING) PLUG FOR YOUR
PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD AND
SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
DO NOT ROUTE POWER CORD UNDER OR IN
FRONT OF APPLIANCE.
2. Local amendments?
3. Is a permit required - cost? (You may wish to contact your insurance company to ask if they require
this).
4. Is outside combustion air required?
5. Rooms where the installation is not allowed?
SMOKE DETECTORS
Since there are always several potential sources of fire
in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway
adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by the
stove). If your local code requires a smoke detector be
installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local
building department for requirements in your area.
NOTE – This appliance is NOT

approved for installa-
SELECTING A LOCATION
The design of your home and where you place your
stove will determine its value as a source of heat. A
wood stove depends primarily on air circulation (convection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central
location is often best. There are other practical considerations, which must be considered before a final selection of locations is made.
♦ Existing Chimneys
♦ Wood Storage
♦ Aesthetic Considerations
♦ Roof Design (Rafter Locations & Roof Pitch)
♦ Room Traffic
♦ Proximity to Combustibles
♦ Electrical Wiring
The installation of this stove will require some research.
Once your options are determined, consult with your
local building department who will be able to give you
the necessary installation requirements for your area (Is
a building permit required, Rooms where installation
may not be allowed, etc.).
WARNING: CHECK ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND
SAFETY CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION. THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND APPROPRIATE
CODE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AND WITHOUT COMPROMISE. ALTERATIONS TO THE STOVE ARE NOT ALLOWED. DO
NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER STOVE, APPLIANCE, OR
ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
If you plan to vent your stove into an existing masonry
chimney, have it inspected by a local fire marshal or
qualified installer. Remember that a stove's performance is heavily influenced by the chimney and its location on the roof. An oversized flue may not provide effective draw, and a flue liner may be required (see Draft
Requirements on page 9). Consult your dealer or qualified installer before final selection is made.
This stove requires pre-installation work to be completed before installation can take place. This will include the preparation of the floor and appropriate
hearth pad for acceptance of outside air (if applicable),
and for modification for flue and chimney.

REDUCED MASONRY STRUCTURE CLEARANCE
(ALCOVE)
Your Earth Stove can be installed in a masonry structure with reduced clearances if the structure was built to
National Building Code for fireplaces and chimneys
(UBC 37).
The firebox of the masonry structure must be of adequate size to allow a minimum of 6" (152 mm) clearance to the sides and top of the stove and 2" (51 mm)
clearance to the rear. All stove models must be installed
on their original listed legs or base unless otherwise
specified by OMNI Testing Laboratory.
FLOOR PROTECTION
This appliance requires a non-combustible floor protection for
ember protection. If the floor protection is to be stone, tile,
brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continuous non-combustible surface. If a chimney connector extends horizontally over the floor, protection must cover the
floor under the connector and at least 2" (51 mm) to either
side.
The floor protection must extend completely beneath the
stove and to the front, sides, and rear as indicated:
USA Requirements
16” (406 mm) min. to the front of the fuel door glass
8” (203 mm) min. beyond the sides of the fuel door opening
Canada Requirements
18” (457 mm) min. to the front of the fuel door glass
8” (203 mm) min. beyond the sides of the stove body
STANDARD PARALLEL HEARTH PAD SHOWN
PROTECTED WALL CLEARANCE
Some local codes will allow reduced clearances when the
stove is installed adjacent to a protected wall system. The
variance must be approved by your local building official.
Normally, the protected wall system is defined as a noncombustible material with a minimum of 1" (25.4 mm) air
space behind. Check your local building codes or with a
qualified installer (Ref. NFPA 211).
OUTSIDE AIR
In all manufactured (mobile) homes and in many site built
residences (subject to local code), a stove may be required
to use outside air for combustion. A 3” (76 mm) diameter
outside air floor duct is available through your dealer.
This appliance utilizes a 3" (76 mm) diameter outside air
floor duct (Catalog # 14M66). Outside air can be taken from
beneath the home or through an outside wall. The collar for

MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOME REQUIREMENTS
This stove is certified as a Room Heater, Solid Fuel Type
and may be used in Manufactured Housing providing the
following requirements are followed:
• An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and
be unrestricted while unit is in use.
• WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL APPLIANCE IN A
SLEEPING ROOM.
• CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF
MUST BE MAINTAINED.
• Regulations require that the appliance must be secured to
the floor and grounded to the chassis. See Securing the
Stove to the Floor (and) Grounding Stove below.
• Required venting is 6” (152 mm) diameter Type L-Vent
connector pipe with listed factory-built 103HT chimney suitable for use with solid fuels or a code approved masonry
chimney. Approved brands of factory built chimney are listed
in this manual. A rain cap and spark arrestor are required
(see Clearances, page 5).
• The chimney must provide for a section joint so that any
parts extending above 13' 6" (343 mm) from ground level can
be removed for transportation of the mobile dwelling.
SECURING THE STOVE TO THE FLOOR
Manufactured (Mobile) Homes Only
Once the outside air floor duct is in position, replace the floor
protector. Make sure that the floor protector's hole is aligned
with the outside air opening. Next position and align the stove
on the hearth pad. Manufactured (Mobile) home installations
require that the stove be secured to the floor.
This ensures that the stove will not shift when the manufactured (mobile) home is moved. To do this, mark where the
holes are to be drilled using a marking instrument long
enough and small enough to fit through the (4) four holes in
the stove legs. Mark holes, then remove the stove. Drill the
(4) four holes, with a 1/4" (7 mm) drill bit. Drill down through
the floor protector and the manufactured (mobile) home floor.
Use 1/4" (7 mm) lag bolts and secure to the manufactured
(mobile) home floor.
NOTE: If the composition of the manufactured (mobile) home
floor is of light particleboard construction, you will be required
to secure the stove with regular hex head bolts and nuts.
This will ensure that the bolts will not rip out of the floor when
the manufactured (mobile) home is being moved.
GROUNDING STOVE
Manufactured (Mobile) Homes Only
Regulations require that all stoves installed in manufactured
(mobile) homes must be grounded. To do this simply attach
a piece of No. 8 copper wire, at least 18" (457 mm) in length
PAGE 7
from the stove to the chassis of the manufactured (mobile)
home.
INSTALLING THE BAFFLE BRICKS
There are 2 brick retainer tube assemblies located
below the ceiling of the firebox which require baffle
brick before the stove can be operated. Install the
baffle brick as follows:
1. Place the first three brick onto the brick retainers
with the notch facing up and toward the front.
Next, slide the three brick all the way to the right
(as you face the stove. See top view illustration
below).
2. Place the fourth brick on top of the three brick.
Position it so the notch is facing up and pointing
to the left.
3. Install the fifth brick and slide all the way to the left.
4. Rotate the fourth brick into position (notch to the
front and facing up) until it drops into place.
IMPORTANT: The baffle brick requires periodic inspection and replacement for proper operation. If the baffle
bricks are fractured or crumbling, they should be replaced. Do not operate this appliance without the baffle
brick properly installed.

INSTALLATION
TYPES OF CHIMNEYS
The chimney is a vital part of your stove installation. A
properly built masonry chimney or a properly installed
factory built chimney will assure a consistent draft under
a variety of weather conditions (a smoking stove is usually caused by a chimney problem). The stove flue size
is 6 (152 mm) inches diameter, which is approximately
28 square inches (711 square mm) minimum. The
maximum flue size should be no more than (3)-three
times the cross sectional area of the size of the stove
flue collar. In this case, that would be no larger than a
10-inch (254 mm) diameter stack, or approximately 85
square inches (216 square cm) maximum.
All chimneys must be installed as specified by local
building codes and according to the chimney manufacturer instructions (in the case of a factory built chimney).
See the chimney manufacturer instructions for exact
specifications. Factory built chimneys must comply with
UL 103HT or ULC S629.

ACCEPTABLE CONNECTOR PIPE FOR INSTALLATIONS
For Standard Residential Clearances:
(152 mm) minimum, single wall, 25 gage minimum
thickness, stove pipe is acceptable. Three (3) predrilled holes are provided in the flue collar for fastening
the pipe securely to the stove. Use sheet metal screws
to do this. Additional sections of single wall pipe
should be fastened together with at least three (3) sheet
metal screws each section. When connecting to the
factory built ceiling support package, use the manufacturer's transition piece, usually called a dripless connector, to join single wall pipe to their factory built chimney
section.
Minimum Flue Size
and area required for the flue size is (respectively) 6
inches / 152 mm diameter, which is approximately 28
square inches / 711 square mm. The maximum flue
size should be no more than (3) three times the cross
sectional area of the size of the 6 inches / 152 mm diameter flue collar. In this case, that would be no larger
than a 10 inch (254 mm) diameter (area = approx. 85
sq. inches [216 sq. cm]).
: The required minimum diameter
Six (6) inch
Connection To A Factory Built Chimney
heater is to be connected to a factory-built chimney
conforming to CAN / ULC – S629, Standard for 650°C
Factory-Built Chimneys.
For Reduced Residential Clearances:
listed double wall connector pipe is acceptable. Install
any factory built brand of pipe according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Vapor Barrier at Chimney Penetration
Install all venting components per the Vent Manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure that there is an
effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney penetrates to the exterior of the structure. This can
be accomplished by applying a non-hardening waterproof sealant to the following components:
• Around the chimney at the point where the storm
collar will meet the chimney just above the Flashing.
• Along the vertical seam of the chimney pipe, where
it is exposed to the weather.
• On each nail head on the flashing.
• Around the chimney at the point where the storm
collar will meet the chimney just above the flashing.
Notes:
• On a flat or tarred and graveled roofs, nail and seal
the flat roof flashing to the roof on all sides with
roofing compound.
• Do not put screws through the flashing into the
chimney pipe.
CHIMNEY INSPECTION
Existing chimneys must be inspected before installing
your stove. Consult your local building department for
chimney code requirements. A masonry chimney must
have a code approved liner. This liner must not have
broken or missing pieces. Some non-code masonry
chimneys may be brought up to code by being relined.
(Consult your dealer or qualified chimney sweep). Factory built chimneys should also be inspected, first for
creosote deposits (which should be removed), and then
for integrity of the stainless steel liner. Look for obvious
bulges in the lining which may indicate the need to replace that section (use a bright flashlight). Also, inspect
the attic to see that the chimney has proper clearance
to combustible framing members. For interior masonry
chimneys and most factory built chimneys, this must be
a (2) two inch (51 mm) air space clearance, which must
not be filled with insulation or any other material. An
exterior masonry chimney must have a (1) one-inch
(25.4 mm) air space clearance.
