Defiant 1610CE Non-Catalytic Woodburning Stove

Installation

SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR DEFIANT IS NOT PROP- ERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRIC- TIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIRE- MENTS IN YOUR AREA.

Before you begin an installation, be sure that:

•Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to meet all clear- ance requirements.

•The floor protector is large enough and is construct- ed properly to meet all requirements.

•You have all necessary permits from local authori- ties.

Your local building official is the final authority for ap- proving your installation as safe and determining that it meets local and state codes.

The metal label permanently attached to the back of every Vermont Castings’ stove indicates the stove has been tested to current standards. The test standard is EN13240:2001 + A2:2004 for Europe. Clearance and installation information also is printed on the label. When the stove is installed according to the information both on the label and in this manual, local authorities usually will accept the label as evidence that the instal- lation meets codes and can be approved.

However, codes vary in different countries. Before starting the installation, review your plans with the local building authority. Your local dealer can provide any ad-

ditional information needed.

IMPORTANT: Failure to follow these installation instructions may result in a dangerous situation, in- cluding a chimney or house fire. Follow all instruc- tions exactly, and do not allow makeshift compro- mises to endanger property and personal safety.

All local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards need to be complied with when installing this stove.

Outside Air

In some modern, super-insulated homes, there may be inadequate air supply for combustion because of insuf- ficient air infiltration into the building. Such air enters a home through unsealed cracks and openings. Exhaust fans in kitchens or bathrooms can compete with the stove for available air and compound the problem.

When poor draft is caused by a low infiltration rate, opening a ground floor window on the windward side of the house and near the stove will usually alleviate the problem.

For appliances with power outputs above 5 kW a permanently open air vent is required by Section 2 of Document J. Air inlet grilles should be positioned so that they will not be blocked. Refer to local and national codes for recommended configurations.

Pressure variations within the house do not affect a stove equipped with an outside air supply, and im- proved stove performance often results. An Outside Air Kit for the Defiant is available from your local dealer.

Chimney Height

Altitude affects chimney performance. When using a 203 mm (8”) oval to 152 mm (6”) flue collar adapter on the Defiant, refer to Figure 1 for suggested chimney heights at various altitudes. Chimney height should be measured from the flue collar to the top of the chimney. The recommended minimum chimney height is 4.8 m (16”).
