INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
Do not install this appliance in any manner other than as described in this manual. If you
have any questions about properly venting or installing your
MagnuM
corn/biomass/wood pellet stove,
please contact your dealer or American Energy Systems, Inc. for information.
NOTE: THIS STOVE MUST BE BURN TESTED OUTSIDE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA
FOR AT LEAST FOUR (4) HOURS. THIS WILL CURE THE PAINT AND SEASON THE
STOVE METAL. SMOKING AND STEAMING IS NORMAL DURING THE CURING
PROCESS, AND MAY CONTINUE DURING THE FIRST FEW TIMES THE STOVE IS USED.
The
ONLY
authorized exhaust vent pipe for this appliance is
3” or 4” inch listed Type PL pellet vent
pipe
, designed for use with pellet stoves. This stove may be connected to an existing factory-built
chimney using pellet vent pipe as a connector, and a 3”-4”, 3”-6”, or 3”-8”
PELLET VENT to
CHIMNEY ADAPTER.
Follow the pellet vent pipe manufacture’s instructions for the installation of the
vent pipe being used. (See “Existing Vertical Installation”).
As you plan your installation, consider the following:
-
The stove should be placed as central in the home as possible. Consider safety, convenience,
traffic flow and the fact that the stove will need a venting system and fresh air to the outside of the
home.
-
Before drilling or cutting holes, select the location of the appliance. Determine where the ceiling
rafters, wall studs or floor joists are located before making any large holes as the appliance may
have to be moved.
-
Care must be taken to maintain minimum clearances to combustibles as per local building codes,
fire codes, and the safety listing tag on the inside hopper lid.
-
An outside air source
must be
connected to the stove and can be brought in through the sidewall
or vented crawl space. Flexible or rigid pipe should be used and will connect to the adaptor on the
back of the stove. (See air inlet location under the
CLEARANCE
section of this manual)
-
Place the stove where you will enjoy watching the fire along with getting the best heat distribution
possible. Locating the stove in a closed room will not allow the unit to perform properly.
Installing the stove in an un-insulated area will also not allow the stove to heat the home properly.
-
If the home was not designed with proper heat circulation, the stove will not perform properly.
Make sure that the installer looks at the entire home as a unit when installing your MagnuM
appliance. Make sure that there is adequate cold air returns to pull the heat to adjoining rooms.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
DO NOT USE SINGLE WALL PIPE FOR ANY INSTALLATION.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
THIS EXHAUST SYSTEM IS PRESSURIZED.
Electrical power is 120 volt-60 Hz. The stove is provided with a six foot grounded electrical cord, and
should be connected to a standard 3 prong 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet. (Make sure you have a surge
protector installed.) Do not route the cord in front of, or under the stove.
NOTE: A MAJOR CAUSE OF VENT RELATED FIRES IS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN
REQUIRED CLEARANCES (AIR SPACES) TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. PLEASE
FOLLOW THE VENT PIPE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS AND LOCAL BUILDING
CODES FOR THE PROPER CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES REQUIRED FOR THE
INSTALLATION OF THE VENT PIPE BEING USED.
