LOCATING STOVE
1. The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid
masonry, or when installed on a combustible floor,
on a U1618 Type 2 listed floor protector, such as
Hy-C or Imperial Model UL3648BK or equivalent.
Floor protector must be 1/2” minimum thickness (R
value = 0.84, see page 22 for calculation formulas)
non-combustible material or equivalent. The base
must extend at least 16” beyond the front of the
access door, 6” to the sides of fuel opening. It must
extend under and 2 inches beyond either side of
the stove pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall. (See
figures 5 & 7 and consult local building codes and
fire protection ordinances.)
CAUTION: (FIRE HAZARD) CARPETING AND
OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL SHALL
NOT COVER THE FLOOR PROTECTOR.

the back heat shield assembly with three Phillips
head machine screws. The angled lip of the deflec-
tor should face toward the front of the stove.
10. Attach blower assembly to rear of the back heat
shield with four Phillips head machine screws
from the hardware pack. Make sure to position the
ceramic gasket between the back heat shield and
the blower assembly so it does not block the fan
opening.
11. After properly locating floor protector (fig 5) to ac-
commodate minimum stove clearances, place stove
in position on floor protector.
12. Route the power cord away from stove. Do not al-
low the power cord to touch any hot surfaces. Keep
power cord at least 12” from stove surfaces.
13. Check to make sure that the bottom fire bricks (#13)
and ceramic fiber boards (parts #18 & #19) above
the air tube assembly (#6) have not shifted during
shipping or assembly.
14. Once stove is positioned, plug power cord into a
grounded 120v outlet.

3. After observing the clearances to combus-
tible materials (figures 5–7), locate your floor
protector accordingly (figure 5) and careful-
ly place the stove in your selected location.
Install stove pipe, elbows, and thimble as
required, utilizing either a recently cleaned and
inspected 6” masonry chimney or a 6” i.d. listed
type HT chimney.
4. Use round 6˝/152mm dia., minimum 24 MSG black
or 26 MSG blue steel stove pipe to connect the
stove to the chimney. DO NOT USE GALVANIZED
DUCT PIPE AS A CONNECTOR. Secure pipe
sections with three (3) sheet metal screws no more

pipe and/or elbow joint to firmly hold the pipe sec-
tions together. DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE
