Installation Hints



If converting to LP, convert the appliance prior to installation.



Install the logs last - they are fragile.



When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal penetrations) and

ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure

the vent does not intersect with a framing member.



Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time you start

this heater. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.

Stove Clearances

Mobile Home Requirements

• When the stove is installed in a mobile home, it must be bolted to the floor and the appliance

grounded (use the optional blower with a grounded circuit or other suitable grounding method -

current ANSI/NFPA 70 or CSA C22.1).
