DECIDING WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR PELLET APPLIANCE
1.Check clearances to combustibles.
2.Do not obtain combustion air from an attic, garage or any unventilated space. Combustion air may be obtained from a ventilated crawlspace.
3.Do not install the stove in a bedroom.
4.You can vent the stove through an exterior wall behind the unit or connect it to an existing masonry or metal chimney (must be lined if the chimney is over 6” in diameter, or less than 28 sq. inches cross sectional area). An interior vent can be used with approved pipe passing through the ceiling and roof.
5.Locate the stove in a large and open room that is centrally located in the house. This will optimize heat circulation.
6.The power cord is 8 feet (2.43 m) long and may require a grounded extension cord to reach
the nearest electrical outlet.
VENT TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS
A)Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or
B)Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched by children.
C)Termination must exhaust above inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe be installed when the appliance is vented directly through a wall to create some natural draft. This is to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down and to keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent through the roof.
D)The vent terminal cannot be:
E)Distance from bottom termination and grade
F)Distance to combustible materials is 2 feet (610 mm). This includes adjacent buildings, fences, protruding arts of the structure, roof overhang, plants, shrubs, etc.
G)When installing an FPI or BIH the chimney must be fully lined. Unless the chimneys inside diameter are less than 6” around or has a cross section area of less than 28 square inches. We strongly recommend lining all masonry chimneys
H)If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond Sherwood Industries Ltd. Control, we grant no guarantee against such incidents.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER INSTALL YOUR PELLET STOVE
