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 Shasta. 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 24”x30” minimum 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 stove is level. There are adjustment bolts under each corner of the pedestal base should these adjustments be necessary, or if a leg set is used, there are adjustment bolts on each leg. Place a level on top of the pedestal base both directions and adjust until level.

This unit has been tested to U.L. 896 and 307A by Omni Test Laboratories and is approved for installation and use in manufactured homes. There are some special considerations when installing into a mobile or manufactured home. The flue system must consist of a 4” diameter CLASS “L”, U.L. 641 type insulated chimney, and either a 4” single or double-wall stove pipe connector. A CLASS “A” metal chimney or a masonry chimney may be used, but must have a 4” stainless steel liner. Dura-Vent Pellet Vent (4”) may be used as either a connector or chimney or both. The manufactured home installation 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. A standard outside air (dryer-vent type) kit may be used or an outside air kit (#4OAVK) may be obtained from your dealer.
