INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

The first step is to ensure the Harvester has been installed properly. Improper installation will create long-term operational and maintenance problems that will plague the homeowner until corrected. If an exhaust vent system is run over ten feet, Country Flame recommends a four-inch versus three-inch vent pipe be used in the exhaust vent system. The basic installation system should include a clean out T, a wall thimble, an exhaust system cap (such as a jet cap) and various lengths of double walled vent pipe.

STOVE CLEARANCES

The Harvester minimum clearances must be maintained during installation. Failure to maintain proper clearances can create a hazardous environment that will lead to a house fire or endanger the occupants. A stove that is installed correctly and maintained properly will minimize operating costs. Country Flame recommends the use of a Hearth Industry Professional that is certified to install pellet-burning products. Check with the local dealer or contact Country Flame if there is any question about the installation, the installer, or the product being installed. Maintain the clearances shown in FIGURE 10. Follow the chimney manufacturer’s installation instructions when installing the chimney system. Inevitably there will be differences between the chimney manufacturer and Country Flame’s stove clearances. Always utilize the largest clearance listed. Contact Country Flame or one of its local authorized dealers to resolve any questions.
