Keep the Stove a Safe Distance

From Surrounding Materials

Both a stove and its chimney connector radiate heat in all directions when operating. A safe installation re- quires that adequate clearance be maintained between the stove and nearby combustible materials to ensure that such materials do not overheat.

Clearance is the distance between either your stove or chimney connector, and nearby walls, floors, the ceiling, and any other fixed combustible surface. Keep furnish- ings and other combustible materials away from the stove as well. In general, a distance of 48” (1219 mm) must be maintained between the stove and moveable combustible items such as drying clothes, furniture, newspapers, firewood, etc. Keeping those clearance areas empty assures that nearby surfaces and objects

will not overheat.

Safe Ways to Reduce Clearances

Your stove has specific clearance requirements that have been established through careful research and testing to UL and ULC standards.

Clearance requirements have been established to meet every installation possibility, and they involve the combi- nation of basic variables:

•When the stove has no listed heat shield

•When the stove has a listed heat shield

•When the wall has no heat shield

•When the wall has a heat shield

•When the stove has a double-wall chimney con- nector.

•When the stove has a single-wall connector wit heat shields, or without heat shields.

In general, the greatest clearance is required when you locate a stove with no heat shield near a wall with no heat shield. The least clearance is required when both the stove and the wall have heat shields. Reducing a stove clearance may require a listed heat shield on the chimney connector as well, or a double-wall connector.

Clearances may be reduced only by means approved by the regulatory authority and in accordance with the clearances listed in this manual. The charts and sample installations that follow list all the clearances required for the various installation configurations of Dutchwest

Convection Heaters Model 2463.

Fireplace Installation Clearances

A fireplace installation requires special clearance be- tween the:

•Side of the stove and the right and left walls

•Side of the stove and the decorative side trim on the fireplace face

•Top of the stove and the mantel

In addition, both Fireplace Adapter and Fireplace Insert installations have special floor protection requirements that are addressed in the section on Floor Protection.
