FLOOR PROTECTION

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

FLOOR PROTECTION

This appliance requires a non-combustible floor protection for ember protection. If the floor protection is to be stone, tile, brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continu- ous non-combustible surface. If a chimney connector extends horizontally over the floor, protection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2" (51 mm) to either side.

The floor protection must extend completely beneath the stove and to the front, sides, and rear as indicated:

USA REQUIREMENTS

16” min. to the front of the fuel door glass

4-1/2" beyond the sides of the stove body (measured to side of stove below the projection of outer top)

CANADA REQUIREMENTS

SELECTING A LOCATION

The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine its value as a source of heat. A wood stove depends primarily on air circulation (con- vection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central location is often best. There are other practical consid- erations, which must be considered before a final selec- tion of locations is made.

Existing Chimneys

Wood Storage

Aesthetic Considerations

Roof Design (Rafter Locations & Roof Pitch)

Room Traffic

Proximity to Combustibles

Electrical Wiring

The installation of this stove will require some research. Once your options are determined, consult with your local building department who will be able to give you the necessary installation requirements for your area (Is a building permit required, rooms where installation may not be allowed, etc.).

WARNING: CHECK ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION. THE IN- STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND APPROPRIATE CODE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED EX- ACTLY AND WITHOUT COMPROMISE. ALTERA- TIONS TO THE STOVE ARE NOT ALLOWED. DO NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY SYS- TEM SERVING ANOTHER STOVE, APPLIANCE, OR ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT. FAILURE TO FOL- LOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.

If you plan to vent your stove into an existing masonry chimney, have it inspected by a local fire marshal or qualified installer. Remember that a stove's perform- ance is heavily influenced by the chimney and its loca- tion on the roof. An oversized flue may not provide ef- fective draw, and a flue liner may be required (see Draft Requirements on page 8). Consult your dealer or quali- fied installer before final selection is made.

This stove requires pre-installation work to be com- pleted before installation can take place. This may in- clude modification for flue and chimney.
