CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to procedures set
out in safety standards ULC S627 (Canada) and UL1482 (U.S.A.). When the stove is installed so that
its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible surfaces will not
overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.
No part of the stove or flue pipe may be located closer to combustibles than the minimum
clearances given below.
7.1
LOCATION OF THE CERTIFICATION LABEL
Since the information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides the
information published, in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines and/or
web sites) it is important to refer to it in order to have a safe and compliant installation. In
addition, you will find information about your stove (model, serial number, etc.). You can find the
certification label on the back of the stove.
7.2
CLEARANCES TO WALLS AND CEILING
The clearances to combustible walls may be slightly different in Canada and the U.S.A. and may
also differ depending on whether you use single or double wall flue pipe. Please be sure to choose
the correct clearance for your location and type of flue pipe. See figure
