Getting Started
A
. Design, Installation & Location
Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, trafc
ow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and
chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation
on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and
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.
Check with your local building code agency before you
begin your installation. Be sure local building codes do not
supersede UL specications and always obtain a building
permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be
unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during
installation, please contact your local dealer.
We recommend that a qualied building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after installation.
2. Thermostat Location
The thermostat’s location will have some effect on the
appliance’s operation. When the thermostat is located close
to the appliance, it may require a slightly higher temperature
setting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the
thermostat location is in an adjacent room or on a different
oor level, you will notice higher temperatures near the
appliance.
B. Fire Safety
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insu-
lation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the
designated air space clearance around the chimney. This
space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat
removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause
a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each 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.
. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least 2
escape routes.
4. A plan to deal with a hopper re as follows:
In the event of a hopper re:
a. Notify re department
b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.
c. Close all openings into the appliance.
d. Unplug appliance.
e. While awaiting re department, watch for ignition
of adjacent combustibles from overheated vent
pipe, hot embers or sparks from the chimney.
f. Pour a bucket of water into the appliance
hopper.
CAUTION
• Do NOT connect this unit to a chimney ue servicing
another appliance.
• Do NOT connect to any air distribution duct or system.
