INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Read this entire manual before you install and use your pellet stove. Failure to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury, or even death!
(See speci
fi
c installation details for clearances and other installation requirements)
Your pellet stove may be installed to code in either a conventional or mobile home (see SPECIAL MOBILE HOME REQUIREMENTS).
The installation must comply with the Manufactured Home and Safety Standard (HUD), CFR3280, Part 24.
It is recommended that only an authorized technician install your pellet stove, preferably an NFI certi
fi
ed specialist.
DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCTWORK UNLESS
SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS.
The use of make-shift or other components other than stated herein could cause bodily harm, heater damage, and void your warranty.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION:
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage caused by the malfunction
of a stove due to improper venting or installation. Call Customer Service and/or consult a professional installer if you
have any questions.
INSTALLATION
POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the most ef
fi
cient heat
distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in
the most spacious room possible. Recall that stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a stove. A stove
also functions by convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air.
FREE STANDING STOVE INSTALLATION
A stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of
fi
re or fail to respect required
clearances. It is of the utmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be strictly adhered to during installation of
the stove. Refer to the table and diagrams below for minimum required clearances. Any reduction in clearance to combustibles may
only be done by means approved by a regulatory authority. Install vent at clearances speci
fi
ed by the vent manufacturer.
• Do not place any combustible material within 4’
(1.2m) of the front of the unit.
• The clearance between the
fl
ue pipe and a wall are
valid only for vertical walls and for vertical
fl
ue
pipe.
• The chimney connector must not pass through an
attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space,
or a
fl
oor, or 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
fl
ue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have
a minimum clearance of 18” (457.2mm).
• To reduce flue clearances from combustible
materials, contact your local regulatory authority.
