FLOOR PROTECTOR

This heater must have a non-combustible floor protector,
UL 1618 listed or equal, with an R-Value of at least 2.8
installed beneath it if the floor is constructed of combustible
material. The floor protector should be large enough to
extend under the stove and beyond each side as indicated
below. If there is a horizontal run of chimney connector
pipe, there needs to be floor protection under it that extends
two inches beyond either side of the pipe.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

It is of utmost importance that the clearances to combustible
materials be strictly adhered to during installation of the
stove.
• Do not place any combustible material within 18" (458
mm) of the front of the unit.
• The clearance between the flue pipe and a wall are valid
only for vertical walls and for vertical flue pipe.
• The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or
roof space, closet or similar concealed space, a floor, or
a ceiling.
• For Canadian installations, where passage through a
wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired,
the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
• To reduce flue clearances from combustible materials,
contact your local safety department.
• Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7' (2.13m).

OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR

Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an outside
air intake (4FAK) in which both are required for mobile
home/transportable building installation. This type of
installation is also required in air tight houses and houses
with negative pressure problems. You can purchase this
option through your heater dealer. Make sure to specify
the part number mentioned in this booklet. Installation
instructions are supplied with the air intake kit. Outside
combustion air may be required if:
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll-out occurs,
wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not
there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as
fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not
operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened,
or back-drafts occur whether or not there is combustion
present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day
alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier
and tight fitting windows and/or has any powered
devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the
winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
