FLOOR PROTECTOR
This heater must have a non-combustible floor protector,
UL 1618 listed or equal, with an R-Value of at least
2.8 installed beneath it if the floor is constructed of
combustible material. The floor protector should be large
enough to extend under the stove and beyond each side
as indicated below. If there is a horizontal run of chimney
connector pipe, there needs to be floor protection under
it that extends two inches beyond either side of the pipe.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
It is of utmost importance that the clearances to
combustible materials be strictly adhered to during

mm) of the front of the unit.
• The clearance between the flue pipe and a wall are valid
only for vertical walls and for vertical flue pipe.
• The chimney connector must not pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, a floor,
or a ceiling.
• For Canadian installations, where passage through a
wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired,
the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.

contact your local safety department.

OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an
outside air intake (4FAK) which is necessary for a mobile
home/transportable building. This type of installation is
also required in air tight houses and houses with negative
pressure problems. You can purchase this option through
your heater dealer. Make sure to specify the part number
mentioned in this booklet. Installation instructions are
supplied with the air intake kit. Outside combustion air
may be required if:
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll-out
occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur
whether or not there is combustion present.
2. 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-drafts occur whether or not there is
combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day
alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor
barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has any
powered devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the
winter.
