Getting Started
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 to be vented
to the outside. This appliance may only be installed into
an existing masonry or manufactured wood-burning
fireplace or using the optional zero-clearance cabinet to
build into a newly constructed chase. It is a good idea to
plan your installation on paper. Use 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 appliance clearances as listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you
begin your installation. Local codes may supersede the
test laboratories specifications. Always obtain any required
permit(s) 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.
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue
servicing another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any forced air distribution duct
or system.
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:
1. 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.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to
contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
4. A plan to deal with a hopper fire as follows:
In the event of a hopper fire:
a. Turn appliance to "OFF".
b.
Be sure hopper lid is closed and latched.
c. Notify Fire Department.
d. Do NOT pour water in the hopper.
e.
Never pull the plug or otherwise disconnect the
power supply to kill a fire.
Fire Hazard
• Do not operate appliance before
reading and understanding the
operating instructions.
• Failure to operate properly may
cause a house fire.
