Installation
Precautions and Specications
Before installation, remember to consult
your local building inspector or re marshal
to determine the need to obtain a permit.
Also enquire about restrictions and installa-
tion inspection requirements in your area.
If utilizing an existing chimney, it is recommended that a professional mason or stove
installer do a complete check-up of the chimney, liner, and ue beforehand.
In order for the stove to work and draw properly, sucient air supply is important. Be
especially aware of any mechanical fans (e.g. kitchen or bathroom exhaust systems) that
may aect the proper draw.
Do not use grates, andirons, or other fuel support methods. Build re directly on hearth.
Make sure that the oor and the sub-oor of the room in which the stove is installed is
designed to carry the extra weight of the stove. The oor protector plate must be made of
a non-combustible material.
The oor protection plate must lie under the stove and extend 16” (41cm) (18” (45cm) in
Canada) in front of the stove door, 8” (20cm) beyond the sides of the fuel-loading door,
and under the pipe and 2” (5cm) beyond each side for back venting. In Canada, an 8”
(20cm) oor protection is required beyond the sides of the stove and in the back of the
stove (0” in the back for the US).
When deciding where to install your stove, the heat distribution to other rooms should be
taken into consideration. Put the stove at a safe distance from combustible materials; see
the references at the name tag of the stove.
