Omnitron Systems Technology A10 manual Precaution, Pre Installation Check List

2. INSTALLATION

Precaution

If your SCAN A10 stove is not properly installed, operated and maintained, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow all installation, operation and maintenance directions. Contact your local building officials about restrictions and installation requirements in your area.

Pre Installation Check List:

Before you begin an installation, review your plans and check to see that:

1.Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to meet all clearance requirements.

2.The floor protection is large enough and is constructed properly to meet all requirements.

3.You have all necessary permits from local authorities. Your local building official is the final authority for approving your installation as safe and determining that it meets all local and state building and safety codes.

The metal label permanently attached to the back of every SCAN stove shows that it has been tested to current UL and ULC safety standards, and gives the name of the testing laboratory. Clearance and installation information is also printed on the label. Local authorities will generally accept the label as evidence that, when the stove is installed according to the information on the label and in this manual, the installation meets codes and can be approved.

Codes vary in different areas. Before starting the installation, review your plans with the local building authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional information needed.

For any unresolved questions about installation in the USA, refer to the national Fire Protection Association’s publication ANSI/NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. For installation in Canada, refer to CSA CAN-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Applications and Equipment. These standards are the basis for many national codes. They are nationally recognized and are accepted by most local authorities. Your local dealer or your local building official may have a copy of these regulations.

NOTE: NFPA 211 6-5.1.1 Chimney Connector and Vent connector Clearances from

Combustible material: Exception: That your Andersen stove is listed for installation with a clearance of less than 12" shall be installed in accordance with the terms of their listing and the manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING: Check all local building and safety codes before installation. The installation instructions and appropriate code requirements must be followed exactly and without compromise. Alterations to the stove are not allowed. Do not connect the stove to a chimney system serving another stove, appliance or any air distribution duct. Failure to follow these instructions will void the manufacturers warranty.

NOTE: If you plan to vent your stove into an existing masonry chimney, have the chimney inspected by a local fire marshal or qualified installer. Remember that the chimney and its location on the roof heavily influent on the stove performance. An oversized flue may not provide effective draught and a flue liner may be required. (Observe draft requirements). Consult your dealer or qualified installer before final selection is made.

We advise you to leave enough room to enable cleaning between the stove and the wall.
