INTRODUCTION
Stove Builder International, one of the most important wood stove and fireplace manufacturers in
North America, congratulates you on your purchase and wishes to help you get maximum
satisfaction from your wood stove. In the pages that follow, we will give you advice on wood
heating and controlled combustion as well as technical specifications regarding installation,
operation and maintenance of the model you have chosen.
The instructions pertaining to the installation of your wood stove in North America comply with
ULC-S627 and UL-1482 standards.
We recommend that our wood burning hearth products be installed and serviced by professionals
who are certified in the United States by NFI (National Fireplace Institute
®
) or in Canada by
WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) or in Quebec by APC (Association des
Professionnels du Chauffage).
Read this entire manual before you install and use your new stove. If this stove is not
properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation
instructions. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury,
or even death.
Consult your municipal building department or fire officials about restrictions and
installation requirements in your area and the need to obtain a permit.
