2. INSTALLATION
IF THE STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY, A HOME FIRE MAY RESULT, TO REDUCE THE
RISK, PLEASE CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
DO NOT INSTALL IN A MOBILE HOME
Pre Installation Check List:
Before you begin an installation, review your plans, check to see:
1. Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to meet all
clearance requirements.
2. The floor protection is large enough and is constructed properly to meet all requirements.
3. You have all necessary permits from local authorities. Your local building official is the final
authority for approving your installation as safe and determining that it meets local and state
codes.
The metal label permanently attached to the back of the stove shows that it has been tested to current
UL and ULC safety standards, and gives the name of the testing laboratory. Clearance and installation
information is also printed on the label. Local authorities will generally accept the label as evidence
that, when the stove is installed according to the information on the label and in this manual, the
installation meets codes and can be approved.
WARNING: contact local building officials or the authority having jurisdiction about
restrictions, permit and installation inspection requirements in your area. The installation
instructions and appropriate code requirements must be followed exactly and without
compromise. Alterations to the stove are not allowed. Do not connect the stove to a chimney
system serving another stove or stove, appliance or any air distribution duct. Failure to follow
these instructions will void the manufacturer's warranty.
For any unresolved questions about installation in the USA, we refer to latest version of the national
Fire Protection Association’s publication ANSI/NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Stoves, Vents and
Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. For installation in Canada, refer to CSA CAN-B365, Installation Code
for Solid Fuel Burning Applications and Equipment. These standards are the basis for many national
codes. They are nationally recognized and are accepted by most local authorities. Your local dealer or
your local building official may have a copy of these regulations.
