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 must 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.) To
draw outside air through the floor, leave the 4" knock-
out or square cover plate 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 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" knockout or cover
plate 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.
