Aspen Woodburning Stove

Mobile Home Installation

The Aspen is approved for use in manufactured (mo- bile) homes when installed with the optional Mobile Home Kit #1898 in accordance with the instructions provided with that kit and any local codes. This approv- al applies only in the United States.

In addition to the standard installation requirements described in this manual, the following guidelines apply to mobile home installations:

1.The stove must be permanently secured to the floor using the leg clamps and fasteners provided in the kit.

2.The stove must have a permanent connection to the outside to supply combustion air.

3.The stove must be grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home.

4.A listed chimney system, including roof thimble, spark arrestor, chimney supports, roof flashing and any other components suitable for use in mobile homes must be used. The chimney system must comply with the standard for Chimneys Factory-Built Residential Type and Building Heating Appliances UL 103.

5.The chimney must be attached directly to the stove and must extend at least 3’ (914mm( above the part of the roof through which it passes. The top of the chimney must extend at least 2’ (610 mm) above the highest point of any part of the mobile home struc- ture within 10’ (3 m) of the chimney.

6.If the chimney exits the mobile home through a wall at a point 7 feet or less above the ground level on which the mobile home is located, a guard or other noncom- bustible enclosure must be fitted at the point of exit and extend up to a height of 7’ (2.1 m). Any openings in this guard must be smaller than 3/4” (19 mm).

7.Check all local building codes, specifically those related to mobile homes. Other requirements may be applicable to chimney system removal for trans- portation of the mobile home.

WARNING: Do not install the Aspen in a sleeping room or hallway.

CAUTION: The structural integrity of the mobile home roof, floor, walls and ceiling must be main- tained.

Clearance to Surrounding

Combustible Materials

When the stove is operating, both the stoveplate and the chimney connector radiate heat in all directions. A safe installation requires that adequate clearance be maintained between the stove and nearby combustible materials to ensure that those materials do not over- heat.

Clearance is the distance between either your stove or chimney connector, and nearby walls, floors, the ceiling, and any other fixed combustible surface. Keep furnishings 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. Keep this area empty of any combustible material.

Safe Ways to Reduce Clearances

The Aspen clearance requirements, listed and diagramed on pages 10-11, have been established through testing to UL and ULC standards to meet most installation configurations. These involve four basic variables:

•When the stove has no listed heat shield in- stalled.

•When the stove does have a listed heat shield mounted on it.

•When the wall has no listed heat shield installed.

•When the wall does have a listed heat shield mounted on it.

In general, the greatest clearance is required when the stove will be positioned 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 installation of a listed heat shield on the chimney connector as well.

Clearances may be reduced only by means approved by the regulatory authority, or in accordance with the clearances listed in this manual.

When determining clearance, always measure from the top plate of the stove, or, from the chimney connec- tor itself, to the adjacent combustible surface. Do not measure from the heat shields of the stove or connector to the combustible surface.
