A . Design, Installation & Location Considerations
WARNING! Risk of Fire Damagedpartscouldimpairsafe
operation.DoNOTinstalldamaged,incompleteorsubstitute
components.
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE:
Checkbuildingcodespriortoinstallation.
• Installation MUST comply with all local building codes
andregulationsincludingthosereferringtonationaland
Europeanstandards.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
ofcialsorauthoritieshavingjurisdictionoverrestrictions,
installationinspectionandpermits.
Itisagoodideatoplanyourinstallationonpaper,usingexact
measurements for clearances and oor protection, before
actuallybeginningtheinstallation.Locationoftheappliance
andchimneywillaffectperformance.
Considerationmustbegivento:
• Safety,convenience,trafcow
• Placementofthechimneyandchimneyconnectorandto
minimizetheuseofchimneyoffsets.
• Placetheappliancewheretherewillbeaclearpassage
foraListedchimneythroughtheceilingandroof(verti-
cal)orthroughexteriorwall(horizontal).
• Installingtherequiredoutsideairkitwillaffecttheloca-
tionoftheventtermination.
Marginal Location:
• Below peak
Location NOT recommended:
• Not the highest point of the roof
• Wind loading possible

Sincepelletexhaustcancontainash,sootorsparks,you
mustconsiderthelocationof:
• Windows
• AirIntakes
• AirConditioner
• Overhang,softs,porchroofs,adjacentwalls
• Landscaping,vegetation
• Horizontalorverticalventtermination
Whenlocatingventandventingtermination,theideallo-
cationistoventaboverooflinewhenpossible.Thismini-
mizestheaffectsofwindloading.
2. Floor Support
The supporting oor under the appliance must be able
to handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the
weightofthechimney.
Ensurethatyouroorwillsuporttheseweightspriortoin-
stallation.  Add sufcient additional support to meet this
weightrequirmentpriortoinstallation.Theweightofthis
applianceis109kgandwithafullhopperoffuelweighing
18kg,thetotalfortheapplianceandfuelis137kg.
