Floor Protector

The stove may be installed on a combustible fl oor provided 
non-combustible protection is used.
This protection must extend as follows:

In Canada:

  18" (457 mm) on the fi ring side and 8" (203 

mm) to the other sides.  See Figure #3a below.

In USA:

  16" (406 mm) to the front and 8" (203 mm) to the 

fuel loading door opening.  See Figure #3b below.  This 
protection is also required under the chimney connector 
and 2" (51 mm) beyond each side.

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 

installation, optional for residential installation.) Outside 
air may be drawn from either underneath the stove or 
from behind.

 

To draw outside air through the fl oor, leave the 4” 
knockout or cover plate in place in the rear of the 
pedestal or leg kit ash box enclosure.

 Pedestal 

Model:

  Cut or drill a 4” diameter hole in the 

fl oor anywhere inside the perimeter of the pedestal.  
Cover the hole with a 4” x 4” (100 mm x 100 mm) 
rodent screen and staple/nail in place.

 Leg 

Model:

  Cut or drill a 4” diameter hole directly below 

the bottom hole of the ash box enclosure.  Connect 
enclosure to the fl oor with a short 4” diameter pipe. 
If you wish to connect the outside air to the rear hole 
on the ash box, then remove the 4” knockout or cover 
plate at the rear of the ash box.

 

This hole must get its air from a 

ventilated

 crawl space 

or be extended with duct to the outdoors (see Figure 
#2, Page 6).  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.  

 

To draw outside air from behind the stove, an outside 
air adaptor may be required (see Optional Blower 
section). Cut or drill a 4” hole through a wall behind 
the unit. Use an appropriate household 4” inlet. You 
must remove the rear cover plate from the pedestal 
or move the cover plate at the rear of the leg kit ash 
box enclosure to cover the bottom hole.

Note:

  This unit is not designed to be operated with the 

fi ring door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of 
sparks landing on combustibles, an open fi re door will 
cause the heater to draw air from the living space and 
possibly cause suffocation.

2. 

Room air supply 

- Remove the cover plate from the 

rear of the pedestal or leg kit ash box enclosure.  The 
stove will now draw its air from the room through this 
opening and into the fi rebox 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 fl ue gases.  If blockage 
occurs, fl ue gases may enter living space.
