Installation
CLEARANCES
Your pellet stove has been tested and listed for installation in residential, mobile home, and alcove applications
in accordance with the clearances given. For safety reasons, please adhere to the installation clearances and
restrictions. Any reduction in clearance to combustibles may only be done by means approved by a regulatory
authority.
INSTALL ALL VENTS AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER
When your Pellet Stove Room Heater is being installed on a combustible floor it is mandatory that a 1/2” (13mm)
thick non-combustible hearth pad be installed under the heater. The non-combustible hearth pad must extend
at least 6” beyond the fuel loading and ash removal openings and at least the depth of the heater plus 6 inches
(152mm) out in front of the heater. The floor protector must extend 2” (51mm) beyond each side of the exhaust
vent. This applies to both freestanding heaters and insert heaters.
FLOOR PROTECTION
This heater must have a non-combustible floor protector (ember protection) installed beneath it if the floor is
of combustible material. If a floor pad is used, it should be UL listed or equal. The floor pad or non-combustible
surface should be large enough to cover at least the area under the product and 6 in. (152 mm) beyond the
front and beyond each side of the fuel loading and ash removal openings. Your heater will need a minimum 31”
x 38” floor protector. Floor protection must extend under and 2 in. (50.8 mm) to each side of the chimney tee for
an interior vertical installation.
Canadian Installations require a minimum of 450 mm [18”] beyond the front of the unit and 203 mm [8”] beyond
each side of the unit. A Floor Protector of ¼ inch thick is recommended for this installation.
Attention:
DO NOT vent under any porch, deck, awning, or in any semi enclosed or roofed area. Doing so
may result in unpredictable airflow at the vent cap under certain conditions and can affect the performance
of your stove, as well as, other unforeseeable issues.
