NPACKING
HearthStone Stoves packages your Tribute stove with the
greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under certain
circumstances, however, damage can occur during transit
and handling. When you receive your stove, unpack it
carefully, inspecting your stove and all parts for damage.
Also, make sure that all parts are included in the box. If
any parts are damaged or missing, please contact your
dealer immediately.

NSTALLING
OUR
TOVE
First, you must decide where your stove will reside. After
choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this location to
make sure that the stove will have enough clearance to
combustible materials that would surround the stove.
These combustibles can include walls, floor, ceiling,
fireplace, and chimney. You must carefully consider the
clearances to all of these combustibles before actually
connecting your stove. When considering these
clearances, also decide the kind of floor the stove will rest
on.
Please use this section to plan how to locate your stove in
your particular location. Consider both the clearances of
the stovepipe and the stove itself to the surrounding
combustibles.
The soapstone walls of the Tribute soapstone stove
produce and even, radiant heat. Locate the stove centrally
in your living area to allow the heat to travel naturally to
distant rooms. It is not recommended that you locate your
stove in an uninsulated basement. The amount of radiant
energy required to heat concrete basement walls is so
great that most of the usable heat is absorbed by them and
lost.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding of how
to properly install your stove.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must be
tested to UL standards and listed. Check the listing of
your pipe for actual clearances. The diagrams in this
manual represent typical installations, but are specific to
the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand. Clearances cannot
be reduced without the use of close clearance connector
pipe and/or by protecting the surfaces per NFPA 211
standards.

ROTECTION
Comb ustible flooring must be protected with a UL listed
hearth pad, or in the absence of fabricate one with an R-
value of 0.6 (slate, marble tiles, or other noncombustible
material can be used for this purpose). The floor
protection must extend beyond the body of the stove at
the minimum as follows:
SIDES 3-1/2" (20 cm Canada)
REAR 0" (20 cm Canada)
FRONT 16" (45 cm Canada)
When installing the Tribute with a rear exit, the minimum
area to be covered by floor protection is under the
chimney connector and 2" (51 mm) beyond each side.
