Ember Protection
The stove may be installed on a combustible fl oor provided
ember protection made from a non-combustible material with
a minimum K value of 23.7 btu/ft h ˚
F is used. Equivalent to
20GA steel.
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 #5, below.
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 instal-
lation, 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"(102mm)
knockout or cover plate in place in the rear of the ash box
enclosure.
Cut or drill a 4"(102mm) diameter hole directly below the
bottom hole of the ash box enclosure. Connect enclosure
to the fl oor with a short 4"(102mm) diameter pipe. If you
wish to connect the outside air to the rear hole on the ash
box, then remove the 4"(102mm) 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 #8,
Page 12). 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"(102mm) hole through a wall behind the
unit. Use an appropriate household 4"(102mm) inlet.
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 - The unit must have adequate air for
combustion provided in the room the unit is installed in.
Remove the cover plate or knockout from the rear of the
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.
