INSTALLATION

Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable location for your

W3000 wood stove. Observing required clearances to combustible materials, the proximity to a safe chimney, and electrical supply (if optional blower in use) must all be considered. In addition, selecting a location that takes advantage of the building’s natural air flow is also desirable to maximize the heating effectiveness of the heater. In many cases, this is a central location within the building.
