Clearances To Combustibles - Osburn 3000 Manuel D'installation

Clearances to Combustibles

Material is considered to be combustible when it is made of, or plated with wood, compressed paper, plant
fibers, plastics or any other materials that can ignite and burn, whether or not it is fire resistant, or plastered
or not.
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by tests according to procedures set out
in safety standards ULC S627 (Canada), ASTM E1509 and UL 1482 (United States). When the pellet
stove is installed so that its surfaces are at, or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible
surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.
NO PART OF THE STOVE MAY BE LOCATED CLOSER TO COMBUSTIBLES THAN THE
MINIMUM CLEARANCES SPECIFIED ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL.
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having juridisction.
The following clearances are also valid for an alcove
installation. However, if the stove is installed in an
alcove, to perform maintenance, expect to move the
appliance to get to the maintenance access doors
and components. For more information about alcove
installation visit our web site.
All clearances to combustibles apply for Canada and
United States.
Please note that the clearances mentioned are the
mimimum required to ensure a safe installation. A distance
of 24" on each side of the appliance and 12" at the back is
recommended to provide easy access.
Refer to exhaust venting system manufacturer for clearances
