INSTALLATION

8) Install optional Remote Control, or Wall Ther-

mostat, page 13.

9) Final check, page 14.
Before leaving this unit with the customer, the

installer must ensure that the appliance is firing
correctly and operation fully explained to cus­tomer.

This includes:

rect firing rate (rate noted on label) after
burning appliance for 15 minutes.

2) If required, adjusting the primary air to
ensure that the flame does not carbon. First
allow the unit to burn for 15-20 min. to
stabilize.

CAUTION: Any alteration to the product
that causes sooting or carboning or that
results in damage is not the responsibil­ity of the manufacturer.

CLEARANCES TO

COMBUSTIBLES

The clearances listed below are MINIMUM dis­tances. Measure the clearance to both the
appliance and the chimney connector. (The

farthest distance is correct if the two
clearances do not coincide.) For example,

if the appliance is set as indicated in one of the
figures but the connector is too close, move the
stove until the correct clearance to the connec­tor is obtained.

This appliance may be installed only with the
clearances as shown in the situations pictured.
Do not combine clearances from one type of
installation with another in order to achieve
closer clearances.

Use the minimum clearances shown in the
diagrams below for installation with "B" vent.

This unit can be installed on a solid combustible
surface like a wood floor. This unit can also be
installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when the
bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with unit)
is installed.

OPTIONAL FAN

INSTALLATION

Fan Kit Contains:

Qty. Description
1 Fan Speed Controller with nut, and knob.
1 Fan Assembly c/w green wire attached
1 power cord
1 Plastic locking grommet

be in the down position when control panel
is in place.

4) Push black knob onto speed control.

5) Remove the rear access panel on the back

of the stove. Remove the 3 top screws, but
only loosen the 3 bottom screws - the panel
can then be lifted off. Install the fan onto pins
as per diagram 2.

Diagram 2

Hint for pushing fan down onto pins - rub
a bit of dish soap on the pins so the
grommets will slide down more easily.
Check to make sure the fan is seated
properly on the pins - try to move the fan
back and forth.

6) Push power cord through hole in the rear
panel 14" - 16" and tie a loose knot in the
cord on the inside to prevent the power
cord from being pulled out. Diagram 2.

7) Install locking grommet to power cord and
push through hole in the rear panel and give
a 1/4 turn to secure.

NOTE: When running wires, keep them

clear of valve assembly and tubing
to avoid tangling of wires and valve.

NOTE: Be careful not to cut wires when

passing through holes in the fire­box.

8) Run green ground wire from fan and con-

nect to grounding lug.

INSTALLATION

9) Connect green power cord ground wire to

grounding lug.

10)Run neutral black wire from power cord
and connect to fan motor.

11)Run live black wire from power cord and
connect to speed control wire.

12)Connect the white wire of the wire har­ness to the fan terminal.

NOTE: Pull excess wire next to fan to
avoid excessive heat from the fire­box.

13)Ensure all wires are pulled away from

firebox to avoid excessive heat and se­cure with stick-on wire clip.

DRAFT HOOD

This heater has a draft hood built in. It must not
be altered, obstructed, or blocked in any way,
and the unit must be installed so that the draft
hood is in the same atmospheric pressure zone
as the combustion air inlet to the burner. This
heater must be properly connected to a venting
system. This heater is equipped with a vent
safety shutoff system.

WARNING: Operation of this heater
when not connected to a properly
installed and maintained venting
system or tampering with the vent
safety shutoff system can result in
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
and possible death.

HIGH ELEVATION

The E63-1 (with 38,000 Btu) is approved in
Canada for altitude 2000 ft. to 4500 ft. (CAN/
CGA-2.17-M91) with the orifice kit (Part # 591-

975). For Natural Gas installations above 4500
ft. follow current CAN/CGA-B149.1.

not penetrate the inner sleeve of the B-Vent
when tightening the screw.

Follow all venting manufacturer’s requirements
and local building codes. In cold climates, we
recommend the use of insulated B-vent, chase,
and liners. For altitudes above 2000 ft. we
recommend that a minimum flue height of 12 ft.
is used.

Vent Terminations

14)Re-attach control panel with 3 screws,

reversing step 1. Re-attach rear access
panel with 6 screws, reversing step 5.

NOTE: When power cord is plugged in,

speed control is in the ON posi­tion and stove is burning, allow 10

- 15 minutes for the thermodisc
(temperature switch) to activate
and turn on the Fan automatically.

WARNING:

Electrical Grounding Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a
three pronged (grounding) plug for
your protection against shock haz­ard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three­prong receptacle. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from
this plug.

In U.S.A., for installations above 2000 ft. refer
to current ANSI Z223.1 Sc8-8.1.2a appendix F,
for resizing orifice.

VENTING

This heater is a vented appliance and must be
connected to a chimney/flue in accordance
with the installation codes.

Note: The rear pedestal cover plate is

only required when outside air is
being used. If using room air for
combustion, remove this plate
from the back of the pedestal.

For your safety this heater is equipped with a
vent safety switch designed to sense incorrect
venting and react by shutting down the gas
supply. This thermally actuated switch is locat­ed within the draft hood and will detect either
a blocked chimney or backdraft condition where
the chimney flow has reversed. If this switch
shuts the unit down, it indicates a drafting
problem that must be identified and rectified
without delay - the thermally activated switch
must never be bypassed or disconnected as
a hazardous or deadly condition can result.

Installation into Existing
Woodstove Flue System

1) Clean existing Chimney system.

2) Run an approved 4" flex liner or "B" vent

into existing chimney.

Note: See the chimney

systems manufac­turer for detailed
installation
instructions.

Venting Requirements

A four inch diameter vent is required. B-Vent,
Class A or Masonry with an approved liner are
all acceptable. For cosmetic or aesthetic pur­poses 6" outer vent can be used as long as an
approved inner vent is installed. Fasten but do
