INST LL TION
For over two centuries, New Englanders have heated their homes with soapstone stoves. A properly in-
stalled and operated soapstone stove will warm your home and delight your eye for a lifetime.
Read this entire manual carefully. It explains how to install your Woodstock Soapstone Progress Hybrid
Wood Stove safely and how to operate it correctly and efficiently. The clearances and procedures
recommended in this guide are in compliance with the recommendations of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), the Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). You may feel some of them are very stringent, but they should be followed. They were designed to
protect you, your home, and the environment. Improper installations are a major cause of serious fires.
Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or death.
Before installing a woodstove, check your local building codes and any requirements established by your
insurance company.
You may need a local building permit to install your stove. Any changes in your home must comply with
building codes. If the codes have not been fully updated, you may want to check with the Building
Inspection Department or your local Fire Department. A qualified stove installer should be aware of any
changes and updates to local and state codes and may be best suited to handle
your installation work.
Many chimney sweeps are qualified installers. If you are unfamiliar with
sweeps or need to locate a certified sweep in your area, you can check listings at
www.csia.org (Chimney Safety Institute of America). Builders and contractors
are another option. In some cases, homeowners install their own stoves. Before
installing your stove, please review carefully the stove installation, clearance,
and safety information in this manual. Woodstock Soapstone has NFI (National
Fireplace Institute) certified woodburning specialists on staff and available to
answer any questions you may have about your installation. If you have
questions, please call us toll free at 1-800-866-4344.
You should notify your insurance company that you are using a woodstove.
Before you light your first fire, have a local building inspector and your
insurance representative inspect, and approve in writing, your installation.
THE PROGRESS HYBRID IS NOT APPROVED FOR INSTALLATION IN MOBILE HOMES.
LOCATION
A stove which is centrally located will heat the greatest area of your home. Heat should be able to circulate
easily into nearby rooms. Placing your stove near an open stairway or register in the floor will help transfer
heat to other rooms.
Other installation considerations are:
•Clearance to Combustibles
•Adequate Space for Wood Loading and Ash Removal
•Room Traffic Patterns
Most people install their stove in a room they use frequently where they can enjoy the beauty and comfort
of the stove. This also helps in ease of the monitoring and reloading the stove as needed.
A well-planned placement will enhance your enjoyment of your stove and may save installation costs.
The Model 209 Progress Hybrid Woodstove is not approved for an alcove installation. An alcove is described
as an area less than 512 cubic feet, which is equivalent to an 8'x8'x8' space.
ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS

The best location for a chimney and
woodstove is in the center of the
house. The chimney will be warmer,
draft will be better, and radiant heat
will be distributed more evenly.
