Canada Only
Floor Protector
The stove may be installed on a combustible floor provided
noncombustible ember protection is used.
This protection must extend as follows:
In Canada: 18" (457 mm) on the firing side and 8" (203 mm)
to the other sides. See Figure #3, below.
Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of
two ways. Consult your local building code or CAN/CSA-
B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances
and Equipment before proceeding.
1.
Outside air supply
- (Necessary for mobile home installa-
tion, optional for residential installation.) To draw outside
air through the floor, leave the 4" knockout in the rear of the
pedestal in place.
Cut or drill a 4" diameter or larger hole in the floor
anywhere inside the perimeter of the pedestal base. Cover
the hole with a 4" x 4" (100 mm x 100 mm) rodent screen
and staple/nail in place.
This hole must get its air from a
ventilated
crawl space or
be extended with duct to the outdoors (see Figure #2, Page
7). The use of outside combustion air for residential
installation requires the unit to be secured to the structure
to prevent dislodging of the air duct. Outside air may also
be ducted from outside through the 4" diameter knockout
hole in the rear of the pedestal enclosure.
Note:
This unit is not designed to be operated with the firing
door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of sparks
landing on combustibles, an open fire door will cause the
heater to draw air from the living space and possibly cause
suffocation.
2.
Room air supply
- Remove the 4" plug from the rear of the
pedestal enclosure. The stove will now draw its air from the
room through this opening and into the firebox intake.
Note:
The living space around the heater must be well
ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may
cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes to be
pulled into the living area. During extremely cold weather,
and especially when burning at very slow rates, the upper
parts of the exposed chimney may ice up, partially blocking
the flue gases. If blockage occurs, flue gases may enter
living space.
