PLANNING
Make sure that you have selected the correct stove
for your heating requirements by checking the
specifications table on page 3.
Take measurements of your space and plan for
your chimney system as detailed in the following
instructions.
This stove may be installed for use in a mobile home.
In addition to the following instructions, review and
adhere to the mandatory requirements on page 11.
ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The rear of the stove will need to be within power cord
distance, which is roughly 80 inches (203 cm), of an
electrical outlet. Lay the power cord out such that it will
not come into contact with the stove’s surface.
FRESH AIR AND VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
When deciding the location of the stove ensure
that the space will always have a source of fresh air
available. Failure to do so may result in air starvation
of other fuel burning appliances and the possible
development of hazardous conditions.
Provision for outside combustion air may be necessary
to ensure that fuel-burning appliances do not discharge
products of combustion into the house. Guidelines to
determine the need for additional combustion air may
not be adequate for every situation. If in doubt, it is
advisable to provide additional air. Outside combustion
air may be required if these or other indications
suggest that infiltration air is inadequate:
•
The wood pellet fired stove does not draw steadily,
experiences smoke roll-out, burns poorly, or back-
drafts, whether or not there is combustion present.
•
Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as
fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell, do
not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when
opened, or back-draft, whether or not there is
combustion present.
•
Any of the above symtoms are alleviated by opening
a window slightly on a calm (windless) day.
•
The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapour
barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has any
powered devices which exhaust house air.
•
There is excessive condensation on windows in the
winter.
•
A ventilation system is installed in the house.
Additional combustion air may be directly provided
from the outdoors to the wood pellet fired stove by
using the included air intake kit to connect to the
inlet at the bottom and rear of the stove. Any such
installation must satisfy Clause 4 of CSA Standard
B365.
CAUTION: NEVER DRAW OUTSIDE
COMBUSTION AIR FROM:
•
A WALL, FLOOR OR CEILING CAVITY.
•
AN ENCLOSED SPACE SUCH AS AN ATTIC,
GARAGE OR CRAWL SPACE.
CAUTION:
IF USING AN AIR INTAKE
CONNECTION THEN THE STOVE MUST BE
INSTALLED SUCH THAT IT IS ATTACHED TO THE
STRUCTURE.
