It is recommended the stove be installed and serviced by
authorized professionals who are certified by the National

Proper installation of this stove is necessary for safe and
efficient operation. Installing this product improperly may
result in a house fire and personal injury. All applicable
building codes for your location must be followed. In
areas where building codes require additional steps to the
installation of this product not included in this manual,
the building codes will take precedent and must be
followed. Contact your local building inspector to obtain

stove Placement
Sketch out a plan for installing the stove including
dimensions before permanent placement. When
determining the location for the stove, wall stud location
is critical. You may need to adjust the location of the stove
to avoid trying to vent through a wall stud. Before placing
the pellet stove, connect the vent and allow for minimum
clearance to combustible walls.
floor Protection requirements
The stove must be installed on a noncombustible floor,
with proper floor protection, or on a masonry hearth. The
hearth or noncombustible floor protector must extend
a minimum of 6” in front, and 4” from each side. When a
clean out t-vent is installed in the inside of a home, the
floor protector must extend 2” beyond rear of t-vent.
see
figure 1
. When stove is vented straight through the wall
and the clean out t-vent is on the exterior of the home, the
minimum clearance is 3” from the back of the stove to the
edge of floor protector.
see figure 2.
The minimum
floor protector material is 24 GA. sheet metal.
