SECURE APPLIANCE TO THE FLOOR
Use the designated holes to secure the unit to the floor.
In addition to the previously detailed installation
requirements, mobile home installations must meet the
following requirements:
• The heater must be permanently attached to the floor.
There are two holes in the base, use 3/8” bolts through
the floor.
• 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.
• When moving your mobile home, all exterior venting must
be removed while the mobile home is being relocated.
After relocation, all venting must be reinstalled and
securely fastened.
• Outside Air is mandatory for mobile home installation.
See your dealer for purchasing.
• Check with your local building officials as other codes
may apply.
• Only use the specified components listed in this manual
for this unit. The use of components that are not meant for
this unit can cause unsafe conditions.

Male Part Downwards
1/4” slope per foot
The 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 to ensure there
will be no problem with the draft. The stovepipe must be
made of aluminized or cold roll steel and have a minimum
thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to
use galvanized steel. The smoke pipe should be assembled
to promote the male section (crimped end) of the pipe to
be faced down. Attach each section to another with three
equidistant metal screws. 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. Contact NFPA (National
Fire Protection Association) and request the latest edition of
the NFPA Standard 211. To ensure a good draft, the total
length of the coupling pipe should never exceed 8’ to 10’
(2.4m to 3.04m). Except for cases of vertical installation,
in a 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 degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust
system. The installation of a “barometric draft stabilizer”
(fireplace register) on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited.
Furthermore, the installation of a draft damper is not
recommended. 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 a force that moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft
may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An
inadequate draft may cause back-puffing into the room
and “plugging” of the chimney. An inadequate draft will
cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through
appliance and chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable
burn or excessive temperature indicates an excessive draft.
CHIMNEY
Your wood stove may be hooked up with a 6” factory-built or
masonry chimney. If you are using a factory-built chimney, it
must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore
it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It must be installed according
to the manufacturer’s specifications. Take into account the
chimney’s location to ensure it is not too close to neighbors
or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance
conditions. If you are using a masonry chimney, it must be
built in compliance with the specifications of the National
Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, metal
