Installer’s Guide

5 Getting Started

A.Design, Installation & Location Considerations

1.Appliance Location

NOTICE: Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fi re offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and fl oor protection, before actually beginning the installation. Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance.

Consideration must be given to:

Safety, convenience, traffi c fl ow

Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and to minimize the use of chimney offsets.

Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof (verti- cal) or through exterior wall (horizontal).

Installing the required outside air kit will affect the loca- tion of the vent termination.

When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal loca-

tion is to vent above roof line when possible. This mini- mizes the affects of wind loading.

Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you must consider the location of:

Windows

Air Intakes

Air Conditioner

Overhang, soffi ts, porch roofs, adjacent walls

Landscaping, vegetation

Horizontal or vertical vent termination

2.Floor Support

The supporting fl oor under the appliance must be able to handle the weight of the fi replace, fuel load and the weight of the chimney.

Ensure that your fl oor will suport these weights prior to in- stallation. Add suffi cient additional support to meet this weight requirment prior to installation. The weight of the

replace is 450 lbs and with a full hopper of fuel weighing 120 lbs, the total for the fi replace and fuel is 570 lbs.

WARNING! Risk of Fire Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.

CAUTION! If burning shelled fi eld corn, you must use ap- proved venting specifi cally designed for corn to prevent corrosion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
