This fireplace system has been tested and listed in accordance with UL127 and ULC-S610-M87 standards, and has been listed by OMNI Test Laboratories, Inc., for installation and operation in the United States and Canada as described in this manual. This fireplace has been tested and listed for use with the SL-300 Series chimney (with the the CAK4A Air Kit) and fireplace components listed in Section 12.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local building codes do not supersede UL specifications and always obtain a building permit so that insurance protec- tion benefits cannot be unexpectedly cancelled.

2.The fireplace is to be secured to the mobile home structure. Use same holes that attached the fireplace to the pallet to secure it to the floor using 1/4 in. x 2 in. (6 mm x 51 mm) lag bolts or equivalent.

3.Unit must be grounded with #8 solid copper grounding wire or equivalent and terminated at each end with N.E.C. approved grounding device.

4.Refer to Minimum Clearances to Combustibles on pages

11-12 and chimney components on pages 62.

5.Floor protections requirements on pages 38-40 must be followed precisely.

6.Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney or other component penetrates to the exterior of the structure.

7.Follow the chimney and chimney connector manufacturer’s instructions when installing the flue system for use in a mobile home.

8.If unit burns poorly while an exhaust fan is on in home, (i.e., range hood), increase combustion air.

NOTE: Top sections of chimney must be removable to allow maximum clearance of 13.5 ft (411 cm) from ground level for transportation purposes.

B. Mobile Home Approved

This appliance is approved for mobile home installations when not installed in a sleeping room and when an outside combustion air inlet is provided. The structural integrity of the mobile home floor, ceiling, and walls must be maintained. The fireplace must be properly grounded to the frame of the mobile home and use only listed double-wall connector pipe.

Outside Air must be installed in a mobile home installation.

An outside air termination cap is supplied with your NorthStar Fireplace for installation in a mobile home. If you use an alternative material it must be designed to prevent material from dropping into the area beneath the mobile home, and to prevent rodents from entering from the outside.

1.An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a fire. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.
