THESE

STOVE

MODELS

ARE

NOT

APPROVED TO INSTALL IN AN ALCOVE

Write on the plan:

•

Exact dimensions for clearances to combustible
material;

•

Exact dimensions of the floor protection;

•

Measurements of the chimney location. (If it not already
installed. Be sure to have all clearances recommended
by the factory-built chimney manufacturer to pass
through the ceiling and roof).

We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plan before and
after installation.

General steps of installation

1) Read the entire installation manual before installing

and using your stove.

2) Choose a spot where to install your stove. Read

section about floor protection dimension, localisation of
stove over the floor protection plate and combustible
material clearance. Once you have decided where to
install the stove, mark the roof at the center of chimney.

To be sure that the vertical center of the chimney,

use a plumb line and mark the center on the floor.

3) Check if it possible to pass chimney without damaging

the structural integrity of your house. If so, you have to
move  the  location  of  the  stove  while  keeping  the
minimum  clearance  or  more  to  be  sure.  If  you  can’t
move the stove and have to cut through a beam, make
sure  to  keep  the  structural  integrity  of  your  house  by
following state of the art and National building code.

We recommend installation of this appliance by a
certified installer.

Note

This appliance have to be connected to 6 inches

(15.24 cm) factory build chimney HT UL 103 or CAN/ULC
S629 compliant or a 6 inches (15.24 cm) masonry chimney
with  a  homologated  sleeve  inside.  Do  not  install  the
chimney directly  at  the outlet of  the  appliance.  A chimney
connector  (flue  pipe)  is  required  unless  the  appliance  is
specifically approved for that type of installation.

4) Install the chimney following the manufacturer

instruction.

5) Put the stove directly on the floor aligned vertically with

the center of chimney, and trace the side of the stove
on the floor and remove it.

6) Trace the dimension of protection plate on the floor.

There must be 8 inch (20.3 cm) clearance from the side
and the back of the stove. . From the front of the door
opening, there must be a clearance of 16 inches (40.6
cm)  in  US  and  18  inches  (45  cm)  in  Canada.  If  the
space  heater  meeting  the  requirement  of  CAN/ULC
S627 is suitable for installation on a combustible floor
and do not require radiant floor protection.

7) Install the floor protection plate inside the mark (It must

be non-combustible).

8) Put the stove on the protection floor plate and respect

the offset clearance set at step 6. Be sure to center the
stove under the chimney. We recommend to fix the
stove to the floor with bolt in the slot made for this
purpose in the legs. In a mobile home, it is obliged to
fix the stove.

9) If you have an outside air inlet, you must use 4 inches

(10.16 cm) flexible aluminum pipe. The pipe must be
sealed with thermal resistant sealant and it has an air
intake with grate approved for this purpose.

10) Install the chimney connector on the stove. The pipe

must be fixed with at least 3 screws on the stove collar,
each chimney connector and the chimney collar.

Note

The single wall chimney connector must be 6 inches

diameter and have a minimum thickness of 24 gauge (0.025
inches 0.64 mm). Do not use galvanised steel chimney
connector.
