INSTALLATION

It is recommended the stove be installed and serviced by
authorized professionals who are certified by the National
Fireplace Institute (NFI) as NFI Pellet Specialists.
Proper installation of this stove is necessary for safe and efficient
operation. Installing this product improperly may result in a house
fire and personal injury. All applicable building codes for your
location must be followed. In areas where building codes require
additional steps to the installation of this product not included
in this manual, the building codes will take precedent and must
be followed. Contact your local building inspector to obtain any
necessary permits or inspection guidelines before installing the
product.

Stove Placement

Sketch out a plan for installing the stove including dimensions
before permanent placement. When determining the location for
the stove, wall stud location is critical. You may need to adjust the
location of the stove to avoid trying to vent through a wall stud.
Before placing the pellet stove, connect the vent and allow for
minimum clearance to combustible walls.

Floor Protection Requirements

The stove must be installed on a noncombustible floor, with
proper floor protection, or on a masonry hearth. When a clean
out t-vent is installed in the inside of a home, the floor protector
must extend 2" beyond rear of t-vent. SEE FIGURE 1. When stove
is vented straight through the wall and the clean out t-vent is on
the exterior of the home, the minimum clearance is 2" from the
back of the stove to the wall. SEE FIGURE 2. The minimum floor
protector material is 24 GA sheet metal.
