Selecting A Location
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home
when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs, and all
construction meets local building codes. It is recommended
that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid any
displacement. This appliance must be installed on a fl oor with an
adequate load bearing capacity, if existing construction doesn’t
meet load capacity, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing
plate) must be taken to achieve it.
Due to high temperatures, the stove should be located out of
traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.
The layout of your house and the location of the Pellet Stove
will determine how effective it is at heating the intended area.
Pellet Stoves use mainly air circulation to disperse their heat,
therefore a central location works best.
Consider the following things when selecting a
location:
• Use of an Existing Chimney
• Location of Vent Termination
• Aesthetic Considerations
• Interference with House Framing, Plumbing and Wiring
• Floor Protection
• Room Traffic Patterns
• Proximity to Combustibles
• Location of Air for Combustion
• Electrical Outlet
• Pellet Fuel Storage
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION
WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT WORK UNLESS
SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS.
