Unpacking

HearthStone Stoves packages your Tribute stove with the greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under certain circumstances, however, damage can occur during transit and handling. When you receive your stove, unpack it carefully, inspecting your stove and all parts for damage. Also, make sure that all parts are included in the box. If any parts are damaged or missing, please contact your dealer immediately.

INSTALLING YOUR STOVE

First, you must decide where your stove will reside. After choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this location to make sure that the stove will have enough clearance to combustible materials that would surround the stove. These combustibles can include walls, floor, ceiling, fireplace, and chimney. You must carefully consider the clearances to all of these combustibles before actually connecting your stove. When considering these clearances, also decide the kind of floor the stove will rest on.

Please use this section to plan how to locate your stove in your particular location. Consider both the clearances of the stovepipe and the stove itself to the surrounding combustibles.

The soapstone walls of the Tribute soapstone stove produce and even, radiant heat. Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow the heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. It is not recommended that you locate your stove in an uninsulated basement. The amount of radiant energy required to heat concrete basement walls is so great that most of the usable heat is absorbed by them and lost.

Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding of how to properly install your stove.

If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must be tested to UL standards and listed. Check the listing of your pipe for actual clearances. The diagrams in this manual represent typical installations, but are specific to the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand. Clearances cannot be reduced without the use of close clearance connector pipe and/or by protecting the surfaces per NFPA 211 standards.

The floor protection must extend beyond the body of the stove at the minimum as follows:

∙SIDES 3-1/2” (20 cm Canada)

∙REAR 0” (20 cm Canada)

∙FRONT 16” (45 cm Canada)

When installing the Tribute with a rear exit, the minimum area to be covered by floor protection is under the chimney connector and 2” (51 mm) beyond each side.
