ensures that as much of the unwanted combustion byproducts (efficiency) are removed before entering the chimney. The
installer should use a draft gauge to ensure proper draft is achieved in a newly installed stove system.

AIR TIGHT HOMES:
Newer homes have become more airtight with constantly improving insulation packages.
These improvements are great for energy efficiency but they can create draft problems for wood burning stoves. In fact,
these insulation packages can lead to what is called negative pressure (absence of air) in new homes. This means a
reverse draft will occur which pulls smoke and exhaust fumes into the home. Sometimes, if combustion air venting
systems are not installed, a homeowner may be required to crack a window on the windward side of the house when the
stove is in operation in order for it to operate properly. It is much safer and more cost effective for the homeowner to
ensure proper draft is accounted for and achieved during the installation process of the stove.

COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS:
The room or area must be capable of delivering the proper volume
of combustion air required of a stove for proper burning of wood fuel. The installer and homeowner must recognize that
other appliances compete for fresh air, such as the clothes dryer, exhaust fans, hot water heater, other fireplaces, or other
fuel burning appliances. If the combustion air demand of a catalytic stove is not met or if a catalytic stove must compete
for a limited supply of combustion air, problems will occur. These problems can lead to poor draft of the catalytic stove,
improper combustion, smoke in the home, and a dirty chimney that could lead to a chimney fire. ENSURING PROPER
COMBUSTION VENTILATION IS IMPORTANT TO THE PROPER OPERATION OF A CATALYTIC STOVE.
FREESTANDING STOVE LEG REQUIREMENTS
All Country Flame freestanding catalytic stoves have a Queen Ann leg system available for purchase. This leg kit includes
four Queen Anne legs that are available in a number of optional finishes and all mounting hardware required by the
installer. Please contact Country Flame or a local authorized dealer to discuss optional finishes and to order a Queen
Anne leg kit.
1. Refer
to
FIGURE 5
for a diagram and refer to this paragraph’s instructions on how to mount the Queen Anne leg
kit to a Model R catalytic stove. If the installer is working with a different model catalytic stove, the instructions and
mounting procedures are the same as the Model R.
a. Locate the eight (8) bolts that are included with the four Queen Anne Legs.
b.
Bolt and tighten each leg to the stove using two bolts. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE BOLTS AS
DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. Ensure each leg is positioned properly so the leg is facing towards the front of the stove.
c.
Position the stove on a level surface. Adjust the leveling bolts in the legs in order to level the stove to the
floor, as necessary. Ensure that clearances to combustibles are maintained once the stove has been set in its final position.
