NPACKING
Hearthstone Stoves packages your Tribute stove
with the greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under
certain circumstances, however, damage can occur
during transit and handling. When you receive your
stove, unpack it carefully, inspecting your stove and
all parts for damage. Also, make sure that all parts
are included in the box. If any parts are damaged or
missing, please contact your dealer immediately.
I Y S
NSTALLING OUR TOVE
First, you must decide where your stove will reside.
After choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this
location to make sure that the stove will have
enough clearance to combustible materials that
would surround the stove. These combustibles can
include walls, floor, ceiling, fireplace, and chimney.
You must carefully consider the clearances to all of
these combustibles before actually connecting your
stove. When considering these clearances, also
decide the kind of floor the stove will rest on.
Please use this section to plan how to locate your
stove in your particular location. Consider both the
clearances of the stovepipe and the stove itself to
the surrounding combustibles.
The soapstone walls of the Tribute soapstone stove
produce and even, radiant heat. Locate the stove
centrally in your living area to allow the heat to travel
naturally to distant rooms. It is not recommended
that you locate your stove in an uninsulated
basement. The amount of radiant energy required to
heat concrete basement walls is so great that most
of the usable heat is absorbed by them and lost.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding
of how to properly install your stove.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must
be tested to UL standards and listed. Check the
