Madison Woodburning Stove

Installation

SAFETY NOTICE: If your stove is not properly installed, operated and maintained, a house fire may result. For safety, follow all installation, operation and maintenance directions. Contact local building officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

Before you begin an installation, review your plans to be certain that:

Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to meet all clearance requirements.

The floor protector is large enough and is con- structed properly to meet all requirements.

You have all necessary permits from local authori- ties.

Your local building official is the final authority for approving your installation as safe and determining that it meets local and state codes.

The metal label permanently attached to the back of the stove indicates that the Madison has been tested to current UL and ULC standards by CSA. Clearance and installation information is also printed on the label. Local authorities generally will accept the label as evidence that, when the stove is installed according to the information on the label and in this manual, the installation meets codes and can be approved. Codes, however, vary in different areas. Before starting the installation, review your plans with the local building authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional information needed.

For any unresolved questions about installation, refer to the National Fire Protection Association’s publication ANSI/NFPA 211–1988 Standard for Chimneys, Fire- places, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. In Canada, the equivalent publication is CSA CAN-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment. These standards are the bases for many national codes. They are nationally recognized and are accepted by most local authorities. Your local dealer or your local building official may have a copy of these regulations.

IMPORTANT: Failure to follow these installation instructions may result in a dangerous situation, including a chimney or house fire. Follow all instructions exactly and do not allow makeshift compromises to endanger property and personal safety.

Chimneys

Your stove must be connected either to a sound masonry chimney that meets local codes, to a relined masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to an approved prefabricated metal chimney. Whichever of those types you use, the chimney and chimney con- nector must be in good condition and kept clean.

If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be inspected to ensure safe condition before the stove is installed. Your local professional chimney sweep, building inspector, or fire department official will be able to make the inspection or direct you to someone who can.

The chimney should extend at least 3' (914mm) above the highest point where it passes through a roof, and at least 2' (610mm) higher than any portion of a building within 10' (3m).

To assure proper draft and good performance, any chimney used with this stove should extend at least 16' (5m) above the flue collar of the stove.

Masonry Chimneys

An existing masonry chimney must be inspected to confirm that it has a lining. Do not use an unlined chimney. The chimney also should be examined for cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, and blockage. Repair any defects before the chimney is used with your stove.
