Installation
Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete. When the heater is used on a combustible oor, use
an Underwriters Listed oor protector. The oor protector must comply with UL Standards (USA) and CAN/ULC
(Canada) and have an R-value of 2.06. The oor protector needs to extend at least 16" beyond the door side
of the heater and 8" to each side. It should also extend 8" beyond the rear for Canada. The oor protector
needs to extend 2" beyond each side of the ue pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall as well as 2" on each side
of the ue for horizontal runs.
1. After consulting the installation instructions for minimum clearances to combustibles, locate your oor
protector accordingly and carefully place the stove in your selected location. Install stove pipe, elbows
and thimble as necessary, utilizing either a recently cleaned and inspected masonry chimney (properly
lined) or a UL, ULC Listed chimney. Insure that the xed ue bafe that is provided is installed in the ue
collar. This bafe is intended to be in a xed location for optimal combustion. Do not remove or alter the
location of this bafe. It is against federal regulations and will void your warranty.
2. Again, check the following illustrations and be sure you have the clearances shown from the heater and
the connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If you have a solid brick or stone wall behind your heater,
please consult your local building code for specic regulations that may apply in your area. However, if
the wall is only faced with brick or stone, consider it a combustible wall. To reduce ue clearances from
combustible materials, contact your local safety department.
3. If your chimney drafts excessively, purchase and use a Barometric Draft Regulator (DR6 available from
factory).
4. The chimney connection should be as short as possible, and the heater must have its own ue. Do not
connect this unit to a chimney ue serving other appliances.
