POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the most efficient heat
distribution throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the room where the
most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce
radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also functions
by convection, which is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its
replacement with cooler air at the floor level. The stove’s convection effect is facilitated by the
installation of a blower.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AND FLOOR PROTECTOR
To install your appliance correctly, it is extremely important to respect all clearances to any
combustibles as indicated on your stove’s certification label.
