Floor Protector; Air Supply In Conventional Houses - Enerzone EB00027 Installation And Operation Manual

5.1 FLOOR PROTECTOR

If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non
combustible material as shown on figure Clearances to combustible materials and floor
protection (see the dotted line area).
*Steel with a minimum thickness of 0.38 mm or ceramic tiles sealed together with grout. No
protection is required if the unit is installed on a non-combustible floor (ex: concrete).
Note 1: The floor protection at the back of the stove is limited to the stove's required
clearance if such clearance is smaller than 203 mm.

6 AIR SUPPLY IN CONVENTIONAL HOUSES

The safest and most reliable supply of combustion air for your wood stove is from the room in
which it is installed. Room air is already preheated so it will not chill the fire, and its availability is
not affected by wind pressures on the house. Contrary to commonly expressed concerns, almost
all tightly-sealed new houses have enough natural leakage to provide the small amount of air
needed by the stove. The only case in which the wood stove may not have adequate access to
combustion air is if the operation of a powerful exhaust device (such as a kitchen range exhaust)
causes the pressure in the house to become negative relative to outdoors.
If you do install an air supply through the wall of the house, be aware that its pressure can be
affected during windy weather. If you notice changes in wood stove performance in windy
weather, and in particular if smoke puffs from the stove, you should disconnect the outdoor air
duct from the stove and remove the duct. In some windy conditions, negative pressure at the duct
weatherhood outside the house wall may draw hot exhaust gases from the stove backwards
through the duct to outdoors. Check the outdoor air duct for soot deposits when the full system is
cleaned and inspected at least once each year.
