PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL A correct installation is critical and imperative for reduc- ing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when wood burning appliances are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufacturers’ in- structions.

The installation of a wood burning appliance must con- form to local codes and applicable state and federal requirements. Familiarity with these requirements be- fore installation is essential. Important considerations to discuss with local building officials include:

1.Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code, State or Regional Codes)?

Electrical codes: Optional Blower Assemblies have a flexible electrical cord that must be electrically grounded per local codes or per electrical codes:

In USA, NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987

In Canada, CSA C22.1

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS: THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH A THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING) PLUG FOR YOUR PRO- TECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE- PRONG RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.

2.Local amendments?

3.Is a permit required - cost?

(You may wish to contact your insurance company to ask if they require this).

4.Is outside combustion air required?

5.Rooms where the installation is not allowed?

SMOKE DETECTORS

Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke detec- tors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occa- sional false activation from the heat produced by the stove). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the re- quirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.

NOTE – This appliance is NOT approved for installa- tion into a Manufactured (Mobile) Home in Canada.

SELECTING A LOCATION

The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine its value as a source of heat. A wood stove depends primarily on air circulation (con- vection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central location is often best. There are other practical consid- erations, which must be considered before a final selec- tion of locations is made.

♦Existing Chimneys

♦Wood Storage

♦Aesthetic Considerations

♦Roof Design (Rafter Locations & Roof Pitch)

♦Room Traffic

♦Proximity to Combustibles

♦Electrical Wiring

The installation of this stove will require some research. Once your options are determined, consult with your local building department who will be able to give you the necessary installation requirements for your area (Is a building permit required, Rooms where installation may not be allowed, etc.).

WARNING: CHECK ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION. THE IN- STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND APPROPRIATE CODE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED EX- ACTLY AND WITHOUT COMPROMISE. ALTERA- TIONS TO THE STOVE ARE NOT ALLOWED. DO NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY SYS- TEM SERVING ANOTHER STOVE, APPLIANCE, OR ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT. FAILURE TO FOL- LOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.

If you plan to vent your stove into an existing masonry chimney, have it inspected by a local fire marshal or qualified installer. Remember that a stove's perform- ance is heavily influenced by the chimney and its loca- tion on the roof. An oversized flue may not provide ef- fective draw, and a flue liner may be required (see Draft Requirements, page 10). Consult your dealer or quali- fied installer before final selection is made.

This stove requires pre-installation work to be com- pleted before installation can take place. This will in- clude the preparation of the floor and appropriate hearth pad for acceptance of outside air (if applicable), and for modification for flue and chimney.
