Installation Instructions
The stove may be installed on a combustible floor provided ember protection made from a non-combustible material
such as steel, ceramic tile, brick etc.is used. - This protection must extend as follows:
In Canada: 18" (457 mm) on the firing side and 8" (203 mm) to the other sides - See Figure 9.
Floor Protector
In USA: 16" (406 mm) to the front and 8" (203 mm) to the sides of the fuel loading door opening - See Figure 10. This protection is
also required under the chimney connector and 2" (51 mm) beyond each side when using horizontal pipe.

Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for
Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment before proceeding. The unit must have adequate air for combustion provided in the room the unit is
installed in.
1. Outside air supply -
(Necessary for mobile home installation, optional for residential installation.) Outside air may be drawn from either
underneath the stove or from behind.
Attach the intake starter to the bottom of the stove with the screws provided.
To draw outside air through the floor, Cut or drill a 3-1/4"(83mm) diameter hole directly below the intake starter (on the bottom of the intake box).
Connect intake starter through the floor with a 3" (102mm) inside diameter non-combustible tubing. .
This hole must get its air from a ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to the outdoors (See "Figure 12" on page 21). The use of
outside combustion air for residential installation requires the unit to be secured to the structure to prevent dislodging of the air duct.
To draw outside air from behind the stove, cut or drill a 3-1/4"(83mm) hole through the wall behind the unit. Use an appropriate household 3"
(76mm) inlet. Connect the inlet to the intake starter section under the unit, with non-combustible tubing
Note:
This unit is not designed to be operated with the firing door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of sparks landing on combustibles, an open
fire door will cause the heater to draw air from the living space and possibly cause suffocation.
2. Room air supply -
Remove the cover plate or knockout from the bottom of the Intake box. The stove will now draw its air from the room through
this opening and into the firebox intake.
Note:
The living space around the heater must be well ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may cause a negative pressure can cause
gases or fumes to be pulled into the living area. During extremely cold weather, and especially when burning at very slow rates, the upper parts of the
exposed chimney may ice up, partially blocking the flue gases. If blockage occurs, flue gases may enter living space.
Note:
An outside air pipe shield is available to place in front of the pipe used to bring outside air into the unit. Instructions for installation are provided
with the shield.(Part #
