FOR USE IN MOBILE HOMES (U.S. ONLY)
• WARNING! DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING
ROOM.
• CAUTION! THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND
CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
• INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH 24 CFR,
PART 3280 (HUD).
• THE STOVE MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE

SECURING APPLIANCE’S ON A
PEDESTAL TO THE FLOOR
Use the designated holes to secure the unit to the
floor.
In addition to the previously detailed installation
requirements, the heater must be electrically
grounded to the steel chassis of the mobile home
with 8 GA copper wire using a serrated or star
washer to penetrate paint or protective coating to
ensure grounding.

Your chimney connector and chimney must have
the same diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this
is not the case, we recommend you contact your
dealer in order to ensure there will be no problem
with the draft. The stove pipe must be made of
aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum
thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden
to use galvanized steel. Your smoke pipe should
be assembled in such a way that the male section
(crimped end) of the pipe faces down. Attach each
section to another with three metal screws spaced
an equal distance apart. The pipe must be short
and straight. All sections installed horizontally
must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot, with the
upper end of the section toward the chimney.
Any installation with a horizontal run of chimney
pipe must conform to NFPA 211. To ensure a good
draft, the total length of the coupling pipe should
never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04 m). Except for
cases of vertical installation, cathedral-roof style
where the smoke exhaust system can be much
longer and connected without problem to the
chimney at the ceiling of the room. There should
never be more than two 90° elbows in the smoke
exhaust system. Installation of a “barometric draft
stabilizer” (fireplace register) on a smoke exhaust
system is prohibited. Furthermore, installation of
a draft damper is not recommended. Indeed, with
a controlled combustion wood stove, the draft is
regulated upon intake of the combustion air in the
stove and not at the exhaust.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the
appliance up through the chimney. The amount of
