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, re
of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 affect performance.

Consideration must be given to:

• Safety, convenience, trafc ow

• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and to

minimize the use of chimney offsets.

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

must consider the location of:

• Windows

• Air Intakes

• Air Conditioner

• Overhang, sof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 sufcient additional support to meet this
weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 510 lbs. with a full load of fuel the max weight
is 557 lbs.

• 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.

• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment.

•

All labels have been removed from the glass door.

•

Plated surfaces have been wiped clean with a soft cloth,
if applicable.

• Read all the instructions before starting the installation.
Follow these instructions carefully during the

installation to ensure maximum safety and benet.

• Follow pipe manufacturer instructions for installation
and air clearance requirements.
