installing
Place the stove on a noncombustible floor or on a floor
protector that extends a minimum of 6 inches to the front,
(measured from the glass) 6 inches to the sides and 1 inch
to the rear of the hopper. It is also recommended that floor
protection be installed under any horizontal venting and
extending 2 inches beyond the vent measurement. Material
used for floor protection must be a minimum 3/8" of mate-
rial rated at 0.84k per inch. Another method for calculating
floor protection is in R-value. Minimum permitted is 0.45
R. Example: 1" thickness of a material is rated at 0.52 R,
which would meet the requirement.
Place the stove away from combustible walls at least as
far as shown in Figures 3,4 and 5. Note the difference in
side wall clearance with and without side shields.
Note that the clearances shown are minimum for safety
but do not leave much room for access when cleaning or
servicing.
Connect the power cord to a 120 V.A.C. 60Hz grounded
receptacle. (A surge protector is recommended to protect
the circuit board.) Also be sure that the polarity of the outlet
that the stove is plugged into is correct.
Prior to installing the flue pipe, connect a draft meter. (The
draft meter must have a minimum range of 0-.5.) Record
the first reading. Connect flue pipe to stove and be sure
all doors and windows in the home are closed. Record
the second draft reading_______. If the second reading
is more than .05" lower than the first reading, check for
possible restrictions or the need for outside air (see page
9). For more information on the draft test procedure, refer
to Page 21.

3. Floor protection and clearances must be followed as
shown.
4. Unit must be grounded to the metal frame of the mobile
