Figure 2: Removing Freestanding Stove From the Pallet.
Hold-down brackets.
1. Do not install the stove in a bedroom or room where people sleep in.
2. Locate the stove in a large and open room that is centrally located in the
house. This will optimize heat circulation.
3. Check clearances to combustibles and for the least amount of interference to
house framing, plumbing, wiring, etc.
4. You can vent the stove with approved pipe through an exterior wall behind
the unit or pass it through the ceiling and roof. The stove can connect to an
existing masonry or metal chimney (must be lined if the chimney is over 6”
(15 cm) diameter, or over 28 inches² (180 cm²) cross sectional area).
5. This unit must not be installed directly onto carpet. If it is to be installed on
a carpeted area, a solid surface (wood, metal or approved hearth pad) must
be installed between the unit and the carpet.
6. This unit uses large quantities of air for combustion; outside Fresh Air
connection is
strongly recommended
. Fresh Air
must
be connected to all
units installed in Mobile and “Air Tight Homes” (R2000) or where required by
local codes.
7. Do not obtain combustion air from an attic, garage or any unventilated
space. Combustion air may be obtained from a ventilated crawlspace.
8. The power cord is 8 feet (2.43 m) long and may require a grounded extension cord to reach the
nearest electrical outlet.
