PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

SELECTING A LOCATION

The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine its value as a source of heat. A woodstove depends primarily on air circulation (convec- tion) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central loca- tion is often best. There are other practical considera- tions, which must be considered before a final selection 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 9). Consult your dealer or qualified installer before final selection is made.

This stove requires pre-installation work to be com- pleted before installation can take place. This may in- clude modification for flue and chimney.
