INSTALLATION

It is recommended the stove be installed and serviced by
authorized professionals who are certified by the National
Fireplace Institute (NFI) as NFI Pellet Specialists.
Proper installation of this stove is necessary for safe and
efficient operation. Installing this product improperly may
result in a house fire and personal injury. All applicable
building codes for your location must be followed. In
areas where building codes require additional steps to
the installation of this product not included in this manual,
the building codes will take precedent and must be
followed. Contact your local building inspector to obtain
any necessary permits or inspection guidelines before
installing the product.

STOVE PLACEMENT

Sketch out a plan for installing the stove including dimensions
before permanent placement. When determining the
location for the stove, wall stud location is critical. You may
need to adjust the location of the stove to avoid trying to
vent through a wall stud. Before placing the parlor stove,
connect the vent and allow for minimum clearance to
combustible walls.

FLOOR PROTECTION REqUIREMENTS

The stove must be installed on a noncombustible floor,
with proper floor protection, or on a masonry hearth. The
hearth or noncombustible floor protector must extend a
minimum of 6" in front, and 4" from each side. When a
clean out t-vent is installed in the inside of a home, the
floor protector must extend 2" beyond rear of t-vent. See
figure 12. When stove is vented straight through the wall
and the clean out t-vent is on the exterior of the home, the
minimum clearance is 3" from the back of the stove to the
edge of floor protector. See figure 13. The minimum floor
protector material is 24 gA. sheet metal.
