INSTALLATION / FREESTANDING UNIT / POSITIONING
1. When determining the proper location for your unit, keep in mind the heater should be kept out
of any traffic paths in the room, away from curtains, drapes or any other combustibles. It
should also be placed in a position where heat will be evenly distributed throughout the room.
2. When location has been determined, position the unit within the clearance parameters shown
below.
3. MINIMUM CLEARANCES: The following diagram provides minimum clearances for the
Little Rascal installation based on whether single or double-wall flue pipe and connectors are
used.

4. If installing a pellet stove on carpet, linoleum or other combustible material, a floor protector is
required. It should be at least 42” wide and 30 ½” deep and placed directly under the pellet
stove. This floor protection must be made of metal or some other non-combustible material,
such as ceramic tile or brick. EXCEPTION: Only if the pellet stove is installed with the
pedestal option, no floor protection is required.
5. Verify that the location for a pellet stove does not interfere or block airflow. The Little Rascal
draws air from the side grills on the left and right doors.
6. WARNING: ALL combustibles in front of a LR-01 must be kept a minimum of at least 48”
(120cm) from the unit. Remember that combustible vapors can travel a long distance.
7. A combustible mantel may be located no closer than 6” (150cm) to the top of a freestanding
heater.
