2 Getting Started
Install Guide
A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fi re
offi 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 fl oor protection, before
actually beginning the installation. Location of the appliance
and chimney will affect performance.
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, traffi c fl ow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and to
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, soffi ts, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
• Horizontal or vertical vent termination
2. Floor Support
The supporting fl 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 fl oor will support these weights prior to
installation. Add suffi cient additional support to meet this
weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 429 lbs.
minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• 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 affect 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 affects of wind loading.
WARNING
Risk of Fire
Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do
NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute
components.
CAUTION
If burning shelled fi eld corn, you must use approved vent-
ing specifi cally designed for corn to prevent corrosion
or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting
manufacturer.
Location NOT recommended:
• Not the highest point of the roof
• Wind loading possible
Windward
Recommended:
Outside Air Intake
on windward side

on the appliance’s operation.
• Maximum wire length from appliance is 100 feet (30.48m)
continuous unspliced wire. Recommended 20 gauge wire,
solid copper .
• When located close to the appliance, it may require a
slightly higher temperature setting to keep the rest of the
house comfortable.
• When located in an adjacent room or on a different fl oor
level, you will notice higher temperatures near the appliance.
CAUTION
The wall control is an integral part of the appliance. No other
wall control or thermostat can be substituted.
