1.2 POSITIONING THE STOVE

It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the most efficient heat distribution throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also functions by convection that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air at the floor level. The stove’s convection effect is facilitated by the installation of a blower.

1.3CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AND FLOOR PROTECTOR

To install your appliance correctly, it is extremely important to respect all clearances to any combustibles as indicated on your stove’s certification label.
