INSTALLATION
FLOOR PROTECTOR
This heater must have a non-combustible floor
protector with an R-Value of at least 1.2 installed
beneath it if the floor is constructed of combustible
material. If a floor pad is used, it should be UL listed
or equal. The floor protector should be large enough
to extend under the stove and beyond each side as
indicated. If there is a horizontal run of flue pipe,
there needs to be floor protection under it that
extends two inches beyond either side of the pipe.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
It is of utmost importance that the clearances to
combustible materials be strictly adhered to during
installation of the stove.
• Do not place any combustible material within 4’
(1.2m) of the front of the unit.
• Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13m)
in all cases.
•
The clearance between the flue pipe and a wall
are valid only for vertical walls and for vertical flue
pipe.
• The chimney connector must not pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed
space, a floor, or a ceiling.
• For Canadian installations, where passage through
a wall, or partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation must conform to CAN/
CSA-B365.
•
A flue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have
a minimum clearance of 18” (458 mm).
•
To reduce flue clearances from combustible
materials, contact your local safety department.

OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an
outside air intake (4FAK) which is necessary for a
mobile home/transportable building. This type of
installation is also required in air tight houses and
houses with negative pressure problems. You can
purchase this option through your heater dealer.
Make sure to specify the part number mentioned
in this booklet. Installation instructions are supplied
with the air intake kit. Outside combustion air may
be required if
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll-out
occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur
whether or not there is combustion present.
2.
Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such
as fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell,
