INSTALLATION
SAFETY NOTICE
• IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
• CONSULT YOUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT PERMITS,
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
• USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR STOVE IS INSTALLED.
• KEEP FURNITURE AND DRAPES WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE.
• NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL
SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
• IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE, PUSH THE AIR CONTROL FULL CLOSED TO DEPRIVE THE
FIRE OF OXYGEN. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
• A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN
REQUIRED.
POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will
favor the most effi cient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed
in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves
produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also functions by
convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler
air. If necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the installation of a blower.
The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of
heat may occur.
A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of
fi re or fail to respect required clearances.

FLOOR PROTECTOR
Your wood stove should be placed on a 1 inch, non-combustible surface with a k factor of 0.84. For multiple
layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The R value for the required board is
1.2. The fl oor protector should be under the stove, twenty-six inches beyond the front and six inches beyond
each side of the fuel loading and ash removal opening. If there is a horizontal section of chimney connector,
the fl oor protector should go under it and two inches beyond each side
Convert specifi cation to R-value:
k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R=1/k x T
C-factor is given: R=1/C
Example:
If the fl oor protector is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a “k” factor
of 0.29 the total R-value of the system is:
4” brick C=1.25, R=1/1.25=0.8
1/8” mineral board K=0.29, R=1/0.29 x 0.125=0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231
Total R is greater than 1.2, the system is acceptable.
The fl oor protector should exceed the stove as follows:
