Installation – General Instructions
FLOOR PROTECTOR
The stove must be placed on a floor protector.
A floor protector is a noncombustible surfacing applied to the floor area underneath and extending in front, to the sides
and to the rear of a heat producing appliance.
To provide the proper clearances, the floor protector must extend
16” (18” for Canada) in front of the loading door opening.
8" from each side of the
loading door
opening.
KEJ floor protector must be no smaller than 34” x 45".
PEJ floor protector must be no smaller than 32” x 44".
The floor protector must extend to the wall under a wall exit installation and must extend 2” beyond each side of the
horizontal section of chimney connector.
Note:
In Canada, check with local jurisdiction, a floor protection with a minimum of 43” x 55” for the PE and
46” x 56” for the KE might be required. (18” Front / 8” Rear / 8” Side)
VENTING SYSTEMS
The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures
inside the chimney may exceed 2000 degrees in the event of a creosote fire. To protect against the possibility of a house
fire, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. A listed thimble must be used when
a connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package must be used when a
connection is made through the ceiling to a listed prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely necessary to
provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling .material.
This stove may be connector to a lined masonry chimney or a
listed factory built chimney suitable for use with solid fuels and
conforming to, ULC629 in Canada or UL-103HT in the USA.
Do not connect it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do
so will affect the safe operation of both appliances, and will void the stove warranty.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
The chimney connector must be 8” diameter for KE1107 or 6” diameter for PE1006, 24/26 MSG Back/Blue steel. Do not
use aluminum or galvanized steel. They cannot properly withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire. Do not use
chimney connector pipe as a chimney. You must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to those illustrated in this
manual.
WARNING
FAILURE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE FLOOR PROTECTION CAN CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.
SUCH A FIRE CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
