1.2 POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the most efficient
heat distribution throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the
room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that
wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood
stove. A wood stove also functions by convection that is through the displacement of hot
air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air at the floor level. The
stove’s convection effect is facilitated by the installation of a blower.
1.3 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AND FLOOR
PROTECTOR
To install your appliance correctly, it is extremely important to respect all clearances to
any combustibles as indicated on your stove’s certification label.
