A. Design, Installation & Location
Considerations
NOTICE:
Check building codes prior to installation.
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE:
Locating the appliance in a location of
considerable air movement can cause
intermittent smoke spillage from appliance. Do
not locate appliance near:
•
Frequently open doors
•
Central heat outlets or returns
Install Guide
•
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
•
Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,
fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction over
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and floor protection,
before actually beginning the installation. Location of the
stove and chimney will affect performance.
Consideration must be given to:
•
Safety, convenience, and traffic flow
•
Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and
to minimize the use of chimney offsets.
•
Place the stove where there will be a clear passage for
a listed chimney through the ceiling and roof (vertical)
or through exterior wall (horizontal).
•
Installing the required outside air kit will affect the
location of the vent termination.
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal
location is to vent above the roof line when possible. This
minimizes the affects of wind loading.
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
•
Windows
•
Air Intakes
•
Air Conditioner
•
Overhang, soffits, porch roofs, and adjacent walls
•
Landscaping, vegetation
•
Horizontal or vertical vent termination
2. Floor Support
The supporting floor under the appliance must be able to
handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.
Ensure that your floor will support these weights prior
to installation. Add sufficient additional support to meet
this weight requirement prior to installation. The weight
of the stove is 195 pounds and with a full load of fuel the
maximum weight is 145 pounds.
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT
install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.
