POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor
the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in
the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that stoves produce
radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a stove. A stove also functions by convection, that is
through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If necessary,
the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the use of a fan or blower.
FREE STANDING STOVE INSTALLATION
A stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of fire
or fail to respect required clearances. It is of the utmost importance that the clearances to combustible
materials be strictly adhered to during installation of the stove. Refer to the table and diagrams below for
minimum required clearances.

SAFETY NOTICE
• If this stove is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the
installation instructions.
• Consult your municipal building department or fire officials about permits, restrictions and installations
requirements in your area.
•
Use smoke detectors in the room where your stove is installed.
•
Smoke expelled from the unit, by either paint curing, opening the fuel loading door, or a negative
pressure inside the home, could trigger the smoke detectors. Mount smoke detectors at least 10’ from
stove
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
• In the event of a chimney fire, push the air control full closed to deprive the fire of oxygen. Call the fire
department.
•
A source of fresh air into the room or space heated shall be provided when required.
•
Room heater, solid fuel type, also for use in mobile homes.
•
Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2m)
of the front of the unit.
• The clearance between the flue pipe and a wall are
valid only for vertical walls and for vertical flue pipe.
•
The chimney connector must not pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, a floor,
or a ceiling.
•
For Canadian installations, where passage through a
wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired,
the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
• A flue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have a
minimum clearance of 18” (457.2mm).
• To reduce flue clearances from combustible materials,
contact your local safety department.
