INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED

BY THE MANUFACTURER

Before the positioning of the unit can be decided a few questions should be considered?

1.Can the unit be vented properly and installed safely?

2.Will exhaust be vented where fumes can build up or be drawn into lower levels of the structure

3.Will fumes and fly ash affect the exterior of the structure or surrounding structures?

4.Are there any local regulations governing the use and placement of the unit?

5.Are there any structural reasons why the unit cannot be placed where you want?

6.How close is the electrical outlet?

Follow the guidelines to the left regarding clearances to combustible materials.

Floor Protector

This stove should be placed on a non-combustible floor protector extending 16 inches to the front, 8 inches to the sides, and 1 inch to the rear.

Straight Through Wall

1.When positioning of the unit has been decided, use measurements on Page 10 for cutting the hole through the wall. Don’t forget to figure the thickness of the floor protector used.

2.Cut at least a 9" x 9" hole through the wall.

3.Remove the side doors / rear cover assembly (6 black screws, 5/16" socket or straight screwdriver)

4.Place the unit in front of the hole approximately 1/2" closer to the wall than the length of the wall termination. (From outside of wall to back of unit where termination bolts up)

5.Take the wall termination outside and slide it into the hole until it mates to the rear of the unit. Go inside and install the bolts and tighten, making sure the gasket is in place and the flue pipe section is level.

6.Reposition the unit inward until the stainless steel intake section comes against the outside wall surface. NOTE: If the wall is over 8" thick you will need a longer wall termination. The standard termination will provide 3" of wall clearance behind the stove, with a 8" wall. Therefore, with a 5" thick wall, it will provide 6" of clearance behind the stove.

7.Check the exterior of the termination for best fit and screw to exterior and caulk with high grade exterior caulking.
