1. Locate your Pellet Stove Room Heater in a location which meets the requirements of this manual, but
in an area where it does not interfere with the house framing, wiring, etc.
2.
Install a non ‐ combustible hearth pad underneath the pellet stove. This pad should extend at least 6”
(152mm) in front of the unit.
3. Place your Pellet Stove Room Heater on the hearth pad and locate the unit in manner that will leave
the exhaust vent with a minimum of 3” (75mm) clearance to any combustible wall.
4. When installing the 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 a 2 ‐ 1/2” (64mm) diameter
hole through the wall.
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 approved vent 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” (75mm)
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 approximately
36” (900mm) above the roof.
