POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area
that will favour the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove
must 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, that is through the
displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If necessary,
the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the installation of a blower.
The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an
excessive accumulation of heat may occur.
A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block
the way in case of fire or fall to respect required clearances.
FLOOR PROTECTOR
Your wood stove should be placed on a non-combustible surface. Install a floor protection using
a 6mm thick fibre cement sheet with thermal conducticity of 0.41W/m degree K underneath the
heater.
The floor protector should project beyond the stove as follows:
Minimum Distance From the Door Opening
FRONT
400 mm
SIDES
200 mm
BACK
