Getting Started
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, soffits, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
When locating vent and venting termination, vent above
roof line when possible.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire
officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact
measurements for clearances and floor protection, before
actually beginning the installation
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, traffic flow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector.
• If you are not using an existing chimney, place the
appliance where there will be a clear passage for a
factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.
• Installing an optional outside air kit would affect the
location of the vent termination.
NOTICE:
Check building codes prior to installation.
NOTICE:
Locating the appliance in a location of
considerable air movement can cause intermittent smoke
spillage from appliance. Do not locate appliance near:
• Frequently open doors
• Central heat outlets or returns
WARNING
!
Risk of Fire!
Damaged parts could impair safe operation.
Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or
substitute components.
CAUTION
!
If burning shelled field corn, you must use approved
venting specifically designed for corn to prevent corrosion
or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting
manufacturer.
