Blower/Electrical Hazard

When the Allagash gas stove is installed with the optional forced air Blower Kit (part #129161) the stove must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current NFPA 70- National Electrical Code or CSA C22.1-Canadian Code.

The Allagash Blower Kit is already supplied with

athree-prong (grounding) plug for protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG. Always unplug the Blower when performing routine service to the Allagash gas stove.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY OR FLUE SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OF ANY KIND.

LOCATION:

In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the appliance are primary concerns; However, proper venting systems and access to the fuel supply are also important issues. Due to the high surface temperatures of the Allagash, always consider the proximity of traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc.

This appliance may be located on or near conventional construction materials. HOWEVER, always maintain the proper clearances to combustibles, as this provides adequate ventilation air around the appliance.

The following clearances and hearth requirements are the minimum requirements when installing the Allagash gas stove near or on combustible surfaces. Always provide adequate access around the appliance for servicing and proper operation.

A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include materials that are behind non-combustibles.

If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material, consult your local fire officials. Remember, “Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible: they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also, “fire-rated” sheet rock is considered combustible.

The Allagsh B-Vent gas stove is not to be connected or installed using any warm air duct system.

Always maintain the proper clearances to the appliance for the proper flow of combustion and ventilation air to the stove.
