Fire Safety Distances and Location
The Pellet Fire must be level for it to work correctly. Check the
in compliance with the following safety conditions:
- minimum distance from combustible materials around the
sides and back of the Pellet Fire (see specifications and
clearances chart (page 9)
from the front of the Pellet Fire
heat-insulating material must be placed between the two,
extending out by at least 100mm at the sides and 200mm
at the front.
If the vent pipe is to exit through a wall made of wood or
a double lined through wall vent system, such as the Metro
through wall vent kit.
Air Intake
The room where the Pellet Fire is installed must have an air
intake of at least 80 cm² to ensure a supply of fresh air to
replace the air consumed by combustion.
Alternatively, the Pellet Fire can be supplied with air drawn
directly from the outside through a pipe extension, we use
100mm, which must have a free section of at least 12 cm²,

Venting System
Your pellet fire works under negative pressure (vacuum).
The exhaust fan of your pellet fire pulls air from the air intake,
through the pellet fire and pushes it out the venting. Air
passing through the burn pot is used to burn the pellets.
Proper vent pipe sizing is very important to ensure the pellet
fire operates properly. A proper size approved vent should
be used to provide the least resistance for movement of the
combustion air.
Your pellet fire is certified for 100mm exhaust venting. The
vent pipes on the exhaust side of the exhaust fan are under
completely sealed to prevent any leakage of exhaust fumes
and smoke into the house. If you smell smoke, the venting
has not been properly sealed. Use only high temperature
RTV silicone for sealing. Aluminum tape is not considered an
The venting of this pellet fire is not allowed to pass unshielded
spaces. If the venting must go through a wall or combustible
partition, the installation must conform to the Installation Code
2918:2001. For more detailed venting information, please refer
Exhaust Vent Termination Requirements
The exhaust vent must terminate into an open space. Under
no circumstances is the vent allowed to terminate into closed
or semi-closed spaces. Venting into a garage, under a sun
deck, porch or any other space where the concentration of
fumes may occur is prohibited.
