POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the pellet stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the
most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room
where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood pellet stoves produce
radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood pellet stove. A wood pellet stove also functions by
convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air.
The appliance must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of heat
may occur.
This appliance must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of fire
or fail to respect required clearances.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATIONS
Manufactured or Mobile home installations require that
the a solid fuel burning appliance be attached to the
floor of the mobile home. For this appliance there are two
ways of doing this.
Option 1:
A mounting hole is provided in the rear of the
unit. Access the mounting hole through the rear of the unit
or by removing the side panel (see illustration). You can
then use the means necessary to attach the appliance
to the floor.
Option 2:
Use the two brackets included with the unit to
secure the appliance to the floor. Slightly back the current
bolts out of the rear of the unit. Slide the bracket into
place and bolt the bottom flange to the floor. Retighten
the top bolt to the rear of the unit.
When installed in a mobile home the unit also has to be
connected to a source of fresh air from outside the home.
