INSTALLATION
FLOOR PROTECTOR
This heater must have a non-combustible floor
protector with an R-Value of at least 1.2 installed
beneath it if the floor is constructed of combustible
material. If a floor pad is used, it should be UL listed
or equal. The floor protector should be large enough
to extend under the stove and beyond each side as
indicated. If there is a horizontal run of flue pipe,
there needs to be floor protection under it that
extends two inches beyond either side of the pipe.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
It is of utmost importance that the clearances to
combustible materials be strictly adhered to during
installation of the stove.
•
Do not place any combustible material within 4’
(1.2m) of the front of the unit.
•
Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13m)
in all cases.
•
The clearance between the flue pipe and a wall
are valid only for vertical walls and for vertical flue
pipe.
• The chimney connector must not pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed
space, a floor, or a ceiling.
• For Canadian installations, where passage through
a wall, or partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation must conform to CAN/
CSA-B365.
•
A flue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have
a minimum clearance of 18” (458 mm).
•
To reduce flue clearances from combustible
materials, contact your local safety department.

OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your wood stove is approved to be installed with
an outside air intake (4FAK) which is necessary
for a mobile home. This type of installation is
also required in air tight houses and houses with
negative pressure problems. You can purchase this
option through your heater dealer. Make sure to
specify the part number mentioned in this booklet.
Installation instructions are supplied with the air
intake kit. Outside combustion air may be required
if
1.
Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll-out
occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur
whether or not there is combustion present.
2.
Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such
as fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell,
do not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out
when opened, or back-drafts occur whether or
not there is combustion present.
3.
Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless)
day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4.
The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor
barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has any
powered devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in
the winter.
