LIFTING TECHNIQUES WHENEVER MOVING
STOVE.
1. Uncrate the stove and remove cardboard packing
and protective poly bag.
2. Remove four (4) legs and hardware pack from in-
side stove. NOTE: Stove may be lightened during
installation by removing fire brick. Replace firebrick
before using. There are three different sizes brick.
Note the location of each while removing or refer
to illustration 1 for proper location inside firebox.
3. Place flattened carton on floor and lay the stove on
it’s back.
4. Remove the four 14mm nuts from the threaded
studs located on each corner (total of 16).
5. Place leg in position and secure using the nuts
removed in step #4. Tighten nuts securely.
6. Carefully lift the stove into an upright position.
7. Level stove with adjustable glides on bottom of legs.
OPTIONAL BLOWER ATTACHMENT
(not included with stove)
1. Attach blower assembly (#3) to back of rear
deflector.
NOTE: Make sure ceramic gasket is properly po-
sitioned between rear deflector heat shield and
blower assembly so as not to obstruct air flow. Use
four screws provided to fasten the blower to rear
heat shield.
2. Route the power cord away from stove. Do not al-
low the power cord to touch any hot surfaces. Keep
power cord at least 12˝ from stove surfaces.
3. Once stove is positioned, plug power cord into a
grounded 120v outlet.
1. The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid
masonry, or when installed on a combustible floor,
on a UL1618 Type 2 listed floor protector, such as
Hy-C or Imperial Model UL 3648BK or equivalent
with 0.8 R-factor. (NOTE: to calculate R-value of
alternative materials see page 19). The base must
extend at least 16” beyond the front of the access
door, 6” to the sides of fuel opening, 8” to the rear
of stove and must extend under and 2 inches be-
yond either side of the stove pipe if it is elbowed
towards a wall. (See figures 1 & 3 and consult local
building codes and fire protection ordinances). A
grouted ceramic floor tile meeting R-values above
and installed per local building code is considered
a durable equivalent.
CAUTION: FIRE HAZARD CARPETING AND
OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL SHALL
NOT COVER THE FLOOR PROTECTOR. THESE
MATERIALS MUST REMAIN OUTSIDE OF
COMBUSTIBLE CLEARANCES, SEE FIG. 1 – 3.
2. The stove must have its own flue. Do not connect
this unit to a chimney flue serving other appliances.
3. After observing the clearances to combus-
tible materials (figures 1–3), locate your floor
protector accordingly (figure 1) and careful-
ly place the stove in your selected location.
Install stove pipe, elbows, and thimble as
required, utilizing either a recently cleaned and
inspected 6” masonry chimney or a 6” i.d. listed
chimney.
4. Use round 6˝/152mm dia., minimum 24 MSG black
or 26 MSG blue steel stove pipe to connect the
stove to the chimney.
