A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic
flow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and
chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation
on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and
floor protection, before actually beginning the installation.
Maintain specified vent clearance to combustible
requirements listed by the vent manufacturers instructions
and all clearance to combustibles listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin
your installation. Be sure local codes do not supersede UL
specifications and always obtain the required permit so
that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly
cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation,
please contact your dealer.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after the installation.
2. Room Sensor Location
The room sensor's location will have some effect on the
appliance's operation. When the sensor is located close to
the appliance, it may require a higher setting to keep the
rest of the house comfortable. If the sensor is located in
an adjacent room, or farther away from the stove, you will
notice higher temperatures near the appliance.
B. Fire Safety
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles.
Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain
the designated air space around the chimney. This space
around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat
removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause a
heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing.
NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means
approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
• Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of
your home. Detectors should be located away from
the heating appliance and close to sleeping areas.
Follow the smoke detector manufacturer's placement
and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain
regularly.
• A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to
contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.
• A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
• A plan to deal with a hopper fire as follows:
In the event of a hopper fire:
a. Evacuate the house immediately.
b. Notify Fire Department.
Fire Hazard
• Do not operate appliance before
reading and understanding the
operating instructions.
• Failure to operate properly may
cause a house fire.
