Getting Started
A
. Design, Installation & Location Considerations
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety
• Convenience
• Traffi c fl ow
• Chimney and chimney connector required
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact
measurements for clearances and fl oor protection, before
actually beginning the installation. If you are not using an
existing chimney, place the appliance where there will be a
clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the
ceiling and roof.
We recommend that a qualifi ed building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after installation
If this appliance is in an area where children may be near it
is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier to go
in front of the appliance.
Remember to always keep children
away while it is operating and do not let anyone operate
this appliance unless they are familiar with these operating
instructions.
B. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable fi re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each fl oor of
your home to ensure your safety. They should be
located away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector
manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,
and be sure to maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher
to contend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
4. A plan to deal with a chimney fi re as follows:
In the event of a chimney fi re:
a. Notify fi re department
b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.
c. Close all openings into the stove.
d. While awaiting fi re department, watch for ignition
of adjacent combustibles from overheated stove
pipe, hot embers or sparks from the chimney.
