A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the appliance will need to be vented to the outside. This appliance may only be installed into an existing masonry or manufac- tured
Maintain specified vent clearance to combustible requirements listed by the vent manufacturers instruc- tions and all appliance clearances as listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation. Local codes may su- persede the test laboratories specifications. Always obtain any required permit(s) so that insurance pro- tection benefits cannot be unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation, please contact your dealer.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after the installation.
2. Room Sensor Location
The room sensor's location will have some effect on the appliance's operation. When the sensor is located close to the appliance, it may require a higher set- ting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the sensor is located in an adjacent room, or farther away from the stove, you will notice higher temperatures near the appliance.
CAUTION
•Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing another appliance.
•Do NOT connect to any forced air distribution duct or system.
B. Fire Safety
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the designated air space around the chim- ney. This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:
1.Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home. Detectors should be located away from the heating appliance and close to sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer's placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.
2.A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.
3.A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.
4.A plan to deal with a hopper fire as follows: In the event of a hopper fire:
a.Turn appliance to "OFF".
b.Be sure hopper lid is closed and latched.
c.Notify Fire Department.
d.Do NOT pour water in the hopper.
e.Never pull the plug or otherwise disconnect the power supply to kill a fire.
