2 Getting Started

A.Design, Installation & Location Considerations

Installation and service of this appliance should be performed by qualified personnel. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends NFI certified profession- als, or technicians supervised by an

NFI certified professional.

1. Appliance Location

Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation.

If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance in a location to maintain a clear passage for the installation of any listed and approved pellet venting system. This appli- ance may be vented vertically or horizontally.

Maintain specified vent clearance to comubstible require- ments listed by the pellet manufactures venting instructions and all clearance to combustivles listed in this manual.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation. Be sure local building codes do not super- sede UL specifications and always obtain a building permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation, please contact your local dealer.

We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after installation.

2. Thermostat Location

The thermostat’s location will have some effect on the appliance’s operation. When the thermostat is located close to the appliance, it may require a slightly higher temperature setting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the thermostat location is in an adjacent room or on a different floor level, you will notice higher temperatures near the appliance.

CAUTION

•Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing another appliance.

•Do NOT connect to any air distributon duct or system.

B. Fire Safety

Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the designated air space clearance around the chimney. This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

1.Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.

2.A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.

3.A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least 2 escape routes.

4.A plan to deal with a hopper fire as follows: In the event of a hopper fire:

a.Evacuate the house immediately.

b.Notify fire department.

WARNING

Fire Hazard.

•Do not operate appliance before reading and understanding operating instructions.

•Failure to operate appliance properly may cause a house fire.
