INSTALLATION
SAFETY NOTICE
• If this stove is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the
installation instructions.
• Consult your municipal building department or fire officials about permits, restrictions and installations
requirements in your area.
• Use smoke detectors in the room where your stove is installed.
• Keep furniture and drapes well away from the stove.
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or "freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
• In the event of a chimney fire, push the air control full closed to deprive the fire of oxygen. Call the fire
department.
• Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
• A source of fresh air into the room or space heated shall be provided when required.
POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will
favor the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed
in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves
produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also functions
by convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with
cooler air. If necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the installation of a blower.
The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of
heat may occur.
A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of
fire or fail to respect required clearances.
