First Steps
2.0 Getting Started
2.1 APPLIANCE LOCATION
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and chimney
connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before
actually beginning the installation.
Maintain specified vent clearance to combustible requirements listed by the vent manufacturers instructions and all clearance to
combustibles listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation. Be sure local codes do not supersede UL specifications
and always obtain the required permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly canceled. If any assistance is
required during installation, please contact your dealer.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after the
installation.
2.2 ROOM SENSOR LOCATION
The room sensor's location will have some effect on the appliance's operation. When the sensor is located close to the appliance, it may
require a higher setting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the sensor is located in an adjacent room, or farther away from the
stove, you will notice higher temperatures near the appliance.
2.3 FIRE SAFETY
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the designated air
space around the chimney. This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this
space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing.
NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:
•
Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home. Detectors should be located away from the heating appliance
and close to sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer's placement and installation instructions, and be sure to
maintain regularly.
•
Maintain a conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.
•
Have a practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.
•
Form a plan to deal with a hopper fire as follows:
•
In the event of a hopper fire:
✔
Evacuate the house immediately.
✔
Notify Fire Department.
