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. 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, do
not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when
opened, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is
combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day
alleviates any of the above symptoms.
