P68 Pellet Stove
installing
Place the stove on a noncombustible type floor or floor
protector that extends a minimum of 6 inches (152mm) to the
front of the load door opening, 6 inches (152mm) to the sides
of the door opening, and 6 inches to the rear. Floor protection
must also extend 2 inches (51mm) beyond each side of any
horizontal flue pipe. The minimum floor protector material
is 20 gauge sheet metal. Other floor protector materials are
ceramic tile, stone, brick, etc.
Place the stove away from combustible walls at least as far
as shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5. Please note the difference in
side wall clearance with and without side shields.
Note that the clearances shown are minimum for safety but
do not leave much room for access when cleaning or servicing.
Please take this into account when placing the stove.
Connect the power cord to a 120 V.A.C. 60Hz grounded
receptacle. (A surge protector is recommended to protect the
circuit board.) Also be sure that the polarity of the outlet that
the stove is plugged into is correct.
Prior to installing the flue pipe, connect a draft meter. (The
draft meter must have a minimum range of 0 - .5") Record the
first reading. Connect flue pipe to stove and be sure all doors
and windows in the home are closed. Record the second
draft reading_______. If the second reading is more than .05"
lower than the first reading, check for possible restrictions or
the need for outside air (see page 10). For more information
on the draft test procedure, refer to Page 21.
