5 Getting Started

A.Design, Installation & Location Considerations

1.Appliance Location

NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.

Installation MUST comply with all local building codes and regulations including those referring to national and European standards.

Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation. Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance.

Consideration must be given to:

Safety, convenience, traffic flow

Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and to minimize the use of chimney offsets.

Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof (verti- cal) or through exterior wall (horizontal).

Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you must consider the location of:

Windows

Air Intakes

Air Conditioner

Overhang, soffits, porch roofs, adjacent walls

Landscaping, vegetation

Horizontal or vertical vent termination

When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal lo- cation is to vent above roof line when possible. This mini- mizes the affects of wind loading.

2.Floor Support

The supporting floor under the appliance must be able to handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight of the chimney.

Ensure that your floor will suport these weights prior to in- stallation. Add sufficient additional support to meet this weight requirment prior to installation. The weight of this appliance is 109 kg and with a full hopper of fuel weighing 18 kg, the total for the appliance and fuel is 137 kg.

Installing the required outside air kit will affect the loca- tion of the vent termination.

WARNING! Risk of Fire Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.
