Installation

SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR ENCORE IS NOT PROP- ERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRIC- TIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIRE- MENTS IN YOUR AREA.

Before you begin an installation, be sure that:

•Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to meet all clear- ance requirements.

•The hearth is large enough and is constructed prop- erly to meet all requirements.

•You have all necessary permits from local authori- ties.

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

The metal label permanently attached to the back of ev- ery Vermont Castings stove indicates that the stove has been tested to current standards. The test standards are UL 1482 and Ul 737 for the US and EN13240:2001

+A2:2004 for Europe. Clearance and installation infor- mation also is printed on the label. When the stove is installed according to the information both on the label and in this manual, local authorities in most cases will accept the label as evidence that the installation meets codes and can be approved.

However, codes vary in different countries. Before starting the installation, review your plans with the local building authority. You local dealer can provide any ad- ditional information needed.

IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE IN- STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, INCLUDING A CHIMNEY OR HOUSE FIRE. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, AND DO NOT ALLOW MAKESHIFT COM- PROMISES TO ENDANGER PROPERTY AND PER- SONAL SAFETY.

Outside Air

In some modern, super-insulated homes, there is inadequate air for combustion because of insufficient air infiltration into the building. Such air enters a home through unsealed cracks and openings. Exhaust fans for kitchen or bath can compete with the stove for avail- able air and compound the problem.

When poor draft is caused by a low infiltration rate, opening a ground floor window on the windward side of the house and in the vicinity of the stove will usually alleviate the problem.

Another solution is to install a permanent outside air supply to the stove and/or room. In fact, bringing air for combustion from outside the home directly to the air inlet of the stove is required for new construction in some areas.

Pressure variations within the house do not affect a stove equipped with an outside air supply, and im- proved stove performance often results. An Outside Air Adapter Kit for the Encore Multi-Fuel is available from your local Vermont Castings dealer.

Chimney Height

Altitude affects chimney performance. When using a 152 mm (6”) flue collar on the Encore Multi-Fuel, refer to Figure 2 for suggested chimney heights at various altitudes. Chimney height should be measured from the flue collar to the top of the chimney. The recommended minimum chimney height is 4.9 m (16’).
