INSTALLATION OF YOUR DROLET WOOD STOVE
POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will
favor the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must 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. If necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by a blower or the
installation of floor or wall grids. It is strictly forbidden to install your wood stove in a mobile home.
Important:
A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of
fire or fail to respect required clearance.
The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution
system since an excessive accumulation of heat may occur.
FLOOR PROTECTION
Your woodstove should be placed on a non-combustible surface. Having these minimum specifications.
