Discard the panel.
Step 2 - Fix the assembly to the back of the stove with the four screws provided. THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY IS
INTENDED FOR USE ONLY WITH A STOVE THAT IS MARKED TO INDICATE SUCH USE. DO NOT ROUTE THE SUPPLY CORD
NEAR OR ACROSS HOT SURFACES!
• 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.

• A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN REQUIRED.
• ONLY OPERATE THE STOVE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. OPERATING WITH THE DOOR OPEN COULD CAUSE
OVERFIRING.

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. Route power cord away
from unit. Do not route power cord under or in front of appliance. The wood stove must not be hooked up to a
hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of heat may occur.

FLOOR PROTECTOR

This heater must have a non-combustible floor protector (ember protection) installed beneath it if the floor is
of combustible material. If a floor pad is used, it should be UL listed or equal. The floor pad or non-combustible
surface should be large enough to extend under the stove and beyond each side as indicated. If there is a
horizontal run of flue pipe, there needs to be floor protection under it that extends two inches beyond either side
of the pipe.
