INSTALLATION
This heater must have a non-combustible floor
protector with a minimum type 1 ember protection
extending beneath the heater 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.
• Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13 m)
in all cases.
• Do not place any combustible material within 4’
(1.2 m) of the front of the unit.
•
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.
• The provision that clearances may only be reduced
by means approved by regulatory authority.

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.
