If utilizing an existing chimney, it is recommended that a professional mason or stove
installer do a complete check-up of the chimney, liner, and flue beforehand.
In order for the stove to work and draw properly, sufficient air supply is important. Be
especially aware of any mechanical fans (e.g. kitchen or bathroom exhaust systems) that
may affect the proper draw.
Do not use grates, andirons, or other fuel support methods. Build fire directly on hearth.
Make sure that the floor and the sub-floor of the room in which the stove is installed is
designed to carry the extra weight of the stove. The floor protector plate must be made of
a non-combustible material.
The floor protection plate must lie under the stove and extend 16" (41cm) (18" (45cm) in
Canada) in front of the stove door, 8" (20cm) beyond the sides of the fuel-loading door,
and under the pipe and 2" (5cm) beyond each side for back venting. In Canada, an 8"
(20cm) floor protection is required beyond the sides of the stove and in the back of the
stove (0" in the back for the US).
When deciding where to install your stove, the heat distribution to other rooms should be
taken into consideration. Put the stove at a safe distance from combustible materials; see
the references at the name tag of the stove.
