The stove may be installed on a combustible
fl oor provided noncombustible ember protec-
tion is used.
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 on left.
In USA: 16" (406 mm) to the front and 8" (203
mm) to the sides of the fuel loading door open-
ing. See Figure #6 on right. This protection
is also required under the chimney connector
and 2" (51 mm) beyond each side.
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 installation, optional for residential
installation.) To draw outside air through the fl oor, cut or drill a 4" diameter hole directly
below the bottom knockout hole of the ash box enclosure. Connect enclosure to the
fl oor with a short 4" diameter pipe.
This hole must get its air from a ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to
the outdoors (see Figure #3, Page 9). 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.
Not e: When installed in a mobile home, 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 - Remove the 4" knockout from 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.
