The clearance to a door, window or cavity must be at least:
- 1.5' (458 mm) below
- 4' (1.2 m) horizontally
- 1' (305 mm) above.
In cases where the fresh air intake for combustion of the pellet
stove or the non-mechanical air supply inlet, or any other appli-
ance, necessitates to be positioned above the exhaust terminal
the clearance must be at least 4' (1.2 m).
The clearance to a mechanical air supply inlet to the building
must be at least 8' (2.5 m).
The exhaust termination location must be at least:
- 1' (305 mm) above the ground level
a
The minimum vertical rise shall always be not less than
5' (1.5 m)
A flue at 1' (305 mm) above ground is not enfant safe:
■ ■
we strongly reccomend that the exhaust termination of
flue be raised another 4' (1.2 m) to avoid injury.
- 7' (2.1 m) from a public walkway, but attention to where the
vent shall end its course, as it is not to be in between or serve
two family dwellings and/or directly above side-walks or paved
driveways
- 1' (305 mm) from the wall penetration point
- 3' (915 mm) from a gas meter/regulator assembly
- 3' (915 mm) from any adjacent combustibles such as: adjacent
buildings, fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof eaves
or overhangs, plants, shrubs, etc.

PRODUCT INFORMATION, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
a
The exhaust gases from the combustion of pellets fuel
may dirty the outside of the walls. To avoid such possi-
bility terminate the vent above the roof line.
Ensure that all installation work is carried out to profes-
■ ■
sional standards.
4.11 PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC FIRES
Product installation, use and maintenance must be carried out
in compliance with the applicable instructions provided by the
manufacturer and in compliance with all relevant regulations.
a
When a flue pipe passes through a wall or a ceiling, spe-
cial installation methods must be applied (protection,
thermal insulation, distances from heat-sensitive mate-
rials, etc.). Refer to the section " CONNECTION TO THE
FLUE ".
It is also recommended that all elements made of combustible
or inflammable material, such as beams, wooden furniture, cur-
taining, flammable liquids, etc. be kept outside the heat radiation
range of the stove and at a distance of at least 32" / 80 cm from
the heating block.
For other information, refer to the section " MINIMUM SAFETY
DISTANCES " and " CONNECTION TO THE FLUE ".
The flue pipe, chimney stack, chimney and fresh air intake must
always be free of obstructions, clean and checked periodically,
that is, at least twice during the seasonal period from the lighting
of the stove and during its use. When the stove has not been used
for some time it is advisable to carry out the checks mentioned
above. For further information, consult a chimney sweep.
Only use recommended fuels (refer to the section " FUEL ").
4.12 MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
The stove has been tested and listed for mobile home installa-
tions.
Unit must be installed in accordance with the: Manufactured
home and safety standard (HUD), cfr 3280, part 24.
In addition to all previously detailed requirements, mobile home
installations must observe the following:
- Permanently bolt the stove to the floor. Use 4 screws (A)
through the 4 holes placed at left and right side in the base
plate as shown in figure.
- Electrically ground the stove to the metal chassis of the home
using a number 8, gauge or larger copper wire (B).
