SECTION 1

Stove placement, air requirements, and clearances

Try to pick a location that will be somewhat central in the house or room in which you wish to install the Oil Classic. Due consideration of the fuel tank location, ease of fuel line installation, and flue location is wise. You will want to read the fuel tank section to get a better idea of where to locate the tank as well as the stove. The stove must be placed on hearth that is non-combustible, having a thickness of 3/8” or greater. A 36”x 36” hearth pad area is recommended. Once a location is established, the stove can be placed on the hearth and leveled. It is absolutely imperative that your Oil Classic is level. There are adjustment bolts under each corner of the pedestal base should these adjustments be necessary. Place a level on top of the pedestal base both directions and adjust until level.

This unit has been tested to U.L. 307A and is approved for installation and use in manufactured homes. There are some special considerations when installing into a mobile or manufactured home. For model OC-10 (10” burner), the flue system must consist of a 6” diameter CLASS “A”, U.L. HT103 type insulated chimney, and a double-wall stove pipe connector. For models OC-7 and OC-8 (7” and 8” burner), a 4”, 5”, or 6”diameter chimney may be used, but must be Class “A” insulated chimney or approved 4” diameter Class

“L” (pellet vent) chimney. Dura-Vent D.V.L. double-wall connector with a Dura-Vent # 8680 double-wall adapter is required or 4” diameter Class “L” vent may be used as a connector. The manufactured homeinstallation also requires an outside combustion air source. If outside air is accessed through the floor, a 4” diameter or larger duct should be installed through the hearth and floor, extending past the insulation barrier on the underneath side of the home. Make sure there is a rodent screen with a maximum 1/4” x 1/4” opening placed over the duct opening to prevent rodents from accessing the stove bottom.
