Install Guide

A. Design and Installation Considerations

Consideration must be given to:

• Safety

• Convenience

• Trafc ow

• Chimney and chimney connector required

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

measurements for clearances and oor protection, before

actually beginning the installation. If you are not using an
existing chimney, place the appliance where there will be a
clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the
ceiling and roof.

We recommend that a qualied building inspector and your

insurance company representative review your plans before
and after installation.

If this appliance is in an area where children may be near it is
recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier to go
in front of the appliance.
away while it is operating and do not let anyone operate
this appliance unless they are familiar with these operating
instructions.

Remember to always keep children

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

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

• Consult insurance carrier, local building, re ofcials or authori­ties having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection,
and permits.

B. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:

1. Install at least one smoke detector on each oor of

your home to ensure your safety. They should be
located away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector
manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,
and be sure to maintain regularly.

2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to

contend with small res resulting from burning embers.

3. A CO detector should be installed in the room with the

appliance.

4. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.

5. A plan to deal with a chimney re as follows:

In the event of a chimney re:

a Evacuate the house immediately

b. Notify re department.

NOTICE: HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES ASSUMES NO

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IMPROPER PERFORMANCE
OF THE APPLIANCE SYSTEM CAUSED BY:

• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions

• Down drafts

• Tight sealing construction of the structure

• Mechanical exhausting devices

• Over drafting caused by excessive chimney heights

• Ideal performance is with height of chimney between 14-16
feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of the appliance.

WARNING

Asphyxiation Risk.

• DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIM­NEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.

May allow ue gases to enter the house.

C. Negative Pressure

5700 STEP TOP ACC

WARNING

WARNING

Asphyxiation Risk.

• Negative pressure can cause spillage of com­bustion fumes, soot and carbon monoxide.

• Appliance needs to draft properly for safety.

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail­able for the appliance to operate properly. It can be stron­gest in lower levels of the house.

Causes include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)

• Range hoods

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water
appliances and other combustion appliances

• Clothes dryers

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system

• Upper level air leaks such as:

- Recessed lighting

- Attic hatch

- Duct leaks

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:

• Install optional outside air kit with the intake facing
prevailing winds during the heating season

• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances
and exhaust equipment

• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance

• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces

• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design

• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed

• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams
taped or sealed

• Basement installations should be avoided

Fire Risk.

Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any

responsibility for, and the warranty will be

• Operating appliance without legs or pedestal attached.

• Do NOT Over re - If appliance or chimney connector glows,
you are over ring.

Any such action that may cause a re hazard.

D. Tools And Supplies Needed

Before beginning the installation be sure the following tools

and building supplies are available:

Reciprocating saw Framing material

Pliers High temp caulking material

Hammer Gloves

Phillips screwdriver Framing square
