Section 2.0 Installation

2.1 Safety information

NOTE: THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN A HOME IF AN
OCCUPANT HAS ANY RESPIRATORY OR ANY OTHER RELATED PROBLEMS.
1. It is important to follow the installation and operation instructions. An improperly installed or
operated insert could result in a safety hazard or fire, or damage to the unit, which would not be
covered by the warranty. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation
requirements in your area. You should be familiar with the installation and be sure that the work is
done in accordance with this manual.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS INSERT IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
2. Where lesser clearances are desired, consult your local authority as regulations may vary regarding
the use of clearance reducing devices. Listed wall and floor shields are available to reduce
clearances, and most building codes provide information on materials which may be used to reduce
clearances.
1. Maintain at least the minimum clearances to combustible material as specified in this manual.
Clearances are measured to the nearest part of the insert (i.e. top edge on the side). Clearances to
any combustibles, when measured directly out from the front, must be a minimum of 48"
(1219mm).
4. Maintain at least the minimum floor protection for combustible floor materials as specified in this
manual. Floor protection to the front is to be measured from the fuel loading door opening.
5. Osburn recommends that you install a listed smoke detector or alarm in your home. Normal
operation of the insert will have no effect on the detector or alarm.
6. The insert is to be connected only to a lined masonry chimney and masonry fireplace conforming to
building codes for use with solid fuel. Do not remove bricks or mortar from the existing fireplace
when installing the insert.
7. Minimum chimney size is 6" (152mm) diameter. Maintain a 15' (4.5m) minimum overall height
measured from the base of the appliance. Chimneys should be inspected to check for deterioration
and to determine if they meet the minimum requirements, and be upgraded if necessary. The
chimney must extend at least 3' (914mm) above the roof and at least 2' (610mm) above the highest
point within an area of 10' (3m) of the chimney.
8. Do not use makeshift compromises during installation, as they could create a safety hazard and a fire
could result.
9. DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO THE CHIMNEY OR FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
