SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION

When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the Sahara wood stove is suitable for use as a

freestanding wood stove in residential installations. The Sahara wood stove is not intended for installation in

a bedroom or a mobile home.

In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment and the CSA

C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local code requirements. In the

USA, the ANSI NFPA 70 National Electrical Code and NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents

and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances are to be followed in the absence of local code requirements.

In addition to the national installation and/or local building codes, fire officials (or other authorities having

jurisdiction) should be contacted to determine what restrictions and inst allation requirements might apply

locally.

CAUTION:

• MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING THE

DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH ACTION IS

CONSIDERED, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.

• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

• CRACKED AND BROKEN COMPONENTS, e.g. GLASS PANELS OR CERAMIC TILES, M AY RENDER THIS INSTALLATION

UNSAFE.

• A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN REQUIRED.

•

CONNECT THE STOVE ONLY TO A LINED MASONRY CHIMNEY C ONFORMING TO NATIONAL AND LOCAL BUILDING

CODES FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL, OR TO A LISTED FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY SUITABLE FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.

It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the most efficient heat distribution

throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and

in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we

are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also functions by convection, that is through the displacement of hot

air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air at the floor level. The stove’s convection effect is

facilitated by the installation of a blower.
