Installation

Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete. When the heater is used on a combustible floor, use an Underwrit- ers Listed floor protector. The floor protector must comply with UL Standards. The base should extend at least 16" beyond the door side of the heater and should extend under the flue pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall. (Fig. 5).

stove and carefully turn the stove onto its top side

 

(bottom facing up).

4.

Attach hearth plate to the front of the stove in its proper

 

location.

5.

Attach both rear and front legs to the stove. Tighten the

 

nuts and bolts securely. The stove may now be

 

CAREFULLY turned over to stand on it's four legs.

6.

Attach the baffle assembly and flue collar to the stove

 

by inserting the baffle studs thru the two holes located

 

on the top of the rear of the stove; place the flue collar

 

over the studs and mount using the proper nuts and

 

washers. Place lid support and lid in position on

 

pivoting top. Place the slide damper in position on the

 

top of the hearth plate and under the feed door, and

 

secure with screw in slot.

7.

After consulting the installation instructions for mini-

 

mum clearances to combustibles, locate your floor

 

protector accordingly and carefully place the stove in

 

your selected location. Install stove pipe, elbows and

 

thimble as necessary, utilizing either a recently

 

cleaned and inspected masonry chimney (properly

 

lined) or a UL Listed chimney. Insure that the damper

 

provided is installed in the flue collar.

8.

Again, check the following illustrations and be sure

 

you have the clearances shown from the heater and

 

the connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If you

 

have a solid brick or stone wall behind your heater,

 

you may place your heater as close as you wish to the

 

wall. However, if the wall is only faced with brick or

 

stone, consider it a combustible wall.

9.

If your chimney drafts excessively, purchase and use

 

a Barometric Draft Regulator (DR6 available from

 

factory).

10.

The chimney connection should be as short as pos-

 

sible, and the heater must have its own flue. Do not

 

connect this unit to a chimney flue serving other

 

appliances.

11.

Use three sheet metal screws in each stove pipe and

 

or elbow joint to firmly hold the pipe together.

12.

Do not install this heater in a mobile home or trailer.

14.Check your local building and insurance codes. The installation must comply with their rulings.
