FREESTANDING INTERIOR VERTICAL INSTALLATION
1. Choose the location for your pellet stove, see item 1 of the Horizontal Exhaust Vent Installation (page 10)
for help in determining the correct location.
2. Note: The stove cannot be used without foot screws installed for maintaining a 1” gap from the floor to the
bottom of the stove base. This is required to keep temperatures cool enough underneath the unit.
3. Install the non-combustible hearth pad in a location so when the stove is placed it will leave the exhaust
vent with a minimum of 3” (75 mm) clearance to any combustible wall.
4. If installing the optional air intake, locate the center of the combustion air intake pipe at the back of your
unit. Line up the center with the same spot on your exterior wall and cut the appropriate sized hole through the
wall for pipe size being used.
5. Secure all vent joint connections with 3 screws. Seal the exhaust vent joint connections with high
temperature silicone sealant.
6. Install the combustion air intake pipe.
7. Install a tee with a cleanout on the exhaust pipe found at the rear of your unit.
8. Install vent (use listed type only) upward through the ceiling. When you pass through the combustible
framing ensure that the appropriate ceiling firestop is used. You must maintain a minimum 3” (75 mm)
clearance to combustibles and keep any insulation away from the exhaust vent.
9. Extend the exhaust vent through the roof flashing and ensure that the vertical cap is at least 36” (900 mm)
above the roof.
