INSTALLATION
PRE INSTALLATION CHECK LIST
WARNING! This stove should be installed by
an authorized installer.
Before you begin installation, review your plans.
Verify that:
• The stove and chimney connector will be
far enough from combustible material to
meet all clearance requirements.
• The floor protection is large enough and is
constructed properly to meet all
requirements.
• All necessary permits from local authorities
have been attained.
The metal safety label permanently attached to
the back of your stove shows that it has been
tested to current UL and ULC safety standards,
and gives the name of the testing laboratory, as
well as certified clearances and additional
installation information.
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. However, 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.
Codes vary in different areas. Before starting the
installation, review your plans with the local
governing authorities. Your local dealer should be
able to provide any additional information that
may be needed.
For any unresolved questions or discrepancies
about installation in the USA, refer to the current
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.
WARNING!
Check all local building and safety codes before
installation. The installation instructions and
appropriate code requirements must be followed
exactly and without compromise. Do not make
alterations to your stove.
NOTE:
If you plan to vent your stove into an existing
masonry chimney, have the chimney inspected by
a qualified inspector prior to installation.
The chimney and its location can influence stove
performance. An oversized flue may not provide
effective draught and a flue liner may be required.
Consult your dealer or qualified installer before
final chimney placement selection is made.
It is recommended that you leave enough room to
enable cleaning between the stove and the wall.
WARNING!
Maintain minimum clearance to combustibles as
defined further in this manual and which is printed
on the safety label located on the back of the
stove.
FLOOR PROTECTION
If the stove is to be installed on a combustible
floor, it must be placed on an approved
½”
(13mm) non-combustible hearth pad with k = 0.84
BTU/in ft
² hr °F, or other suitable floor protection
is required.
The pad must extend at least 16 inches in front of,
and at least 10 inches beyond each side of the
unit. In a rear vent installation the floor protection
must also extend under the stove pipe a minimum
of 2” beyond either side of the pipe.
For Canadian installations, the pad must extend a
minimum of 450mm (18") beyond the stove front,
203mm (8") from the stoves sides, and 200mm
(8") from the stove back.
