SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION

When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the Classic EPA wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installations. The Classic EPA 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 installation requirements might apply locally.

1.1GENERAL INSTALLATION

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, MAY 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 CONFORMING TO NATIONAL AND LOCAL BUILDING CODES FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL, OR TO A LISTED FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY SUITABLE FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.

1.2POSITIONING THE STOVE

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.
