Hitzer 55 Installating And Operation Manual page 6

The location of the stove is very important for optimum stove performance as well as
safety assurance. When searching for the location of the stove be sure to strictly follow
manufactures guidelines, clearance to combustible material requirements, local building,
and fire codes. Failure to follow manufacture's instruction and local jurisdiction codes
may result in bodily injury, property damage, fire, or death. Locate the stove where
there is sufficient air supply for proper operation to occur. It is vitally important to locate
the stove next to existing forced air furnace as well as next to the chimney. The closer
placement to these two items the better the stove will perform, and achieve maximum
heat flow. The longer the chimney connector pipe (stovepipe) and farther away the
stove is from the chimney the less performance is achieved from the stove. Please
consider the construction and layout of the home to be heated and make placement of
the stove to achieve maximum heat benefit produced by the stove.
It is mandatory to abide by clearance to combustibles regulations provided by the Hitzer
Stove Manufacture. Failure to abide by the clearance requirements may result in a fire.

Unit to Side Wall: 28"
