It is recommended that only an authorized Avent Wood Pellet installer install your wood pellet stove. The following
installation guidelines must be followed to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of this stove and to local building
codes.
9 A listed 3” or 4” type “PL” pellet vent exhaust system must be used for FREESTANDING installation and attached to the
pipe connector provided on the top of the stove. Use a 3” to 4” adapter for 4” pipe. A cap must be used at the termination
of type “L” vent chimneys. Existing approved 4, 6 and 8” wood stove pipe may be used with adaptors to 3 inch pellet vent
pipe as shown in the installation instructions.
9 Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed area, such as; carports, garage, attic, crawl space, under a sundeck
or porch, narrow walkway or closed area, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell,
covered breezeway etc.
9 Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be
required. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENT OF THIS UNIT.
9 Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is required that at least 5 ft. of vertical pipe be installed when
the appliance is vented directly through a wall or in a basement. This will create some natural draft to prevent the
possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shutdown and to keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard from
