Installation Information; Stove Location - Breckwell BH23 Owner’s Instruction And Operation Manual

STOVE LOCATION

Plan for the installation of your stove. This includes
determining where the unit is to be installed, the vent
configuration to be used, framing and finishing details, and
whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall switch,
or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building
code agency to ensure compliance with local codes,
including permits and inspections. The following factors
should be taken into consideration:
• This stove should have sufficient access for its safe
operation and maintenance.
• Locate a position where the flue system of the stove can
be properly installed without damaging the integrity of
the building. e.g. cutting wall or ceiling joist (example:
load-bearing framing members).
• When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile,
or other combustible material other than wood flooring,
you must set the appliance on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
• Check stove and flue system clearance requirements.
• Locate the stove where it can be accessed by a gas
supply line.
• Locate the stove in a large and open room that is centrally
located in the house. This will optimize heat circulation
and comfort.
• The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed.
• Minimum clearances to combustibles, side-wall, ceiling,
woodwork, and windows must be maintained.
• This stove may be installed along a wall, across a corner,
or use an exterior chase. Refer to the figure below for
suggested locations.
