2 Getting Started
A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1.Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
•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
Consideration must be given to:
•Safety, convenience, traffi c fl ow
•Placement of the chimney and chimney connector.
•If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appli- ance where there will be a clear passage for a factory- built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.
•Installing an optional outside air kit would affect the loca- tion of the vent termination.
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
When locating vent and venting termination, vent above roof line when possible.
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 corro- sion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting manufacturer.
