Century FW2600 Installation and Operation Manual

6.2 Regulations Covering Stove Installation

When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the Century FW2600

wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding heater in residential installations. The

Century FW2600 wood stove is not intended for installation in a sleeping room of a mobile

home.

In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and

Equipment and the CSA C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in the

absence of local code requirements. In the USA, the ANSI NFPA 211 Standard for

Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances and the ANSI NFPA 70

National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local code requirements.

This stove must be connected to a chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT

chimneys in the Standard for Factory-Built Chimneys for Residential Type and Building

Heating Appliances, UL 103 HT and ULC S629 or to a code-approved masonry chimney

with a flue liner.

The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to

procedures set out in safety standards ULC S627 (Canada), UL1482 (U.S.A.) and UL737

(U.S.A.). When the stove is installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum

clearances specified, combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even

abnormal operating conditions.

No part of the stove or flue pipe may be located closer to combustibles than the

minimum clearance figures given.

Since the information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always

overrides the information published, in any other media (owner's manual, catalogues,

flyers, magazines and/or web sites) it is important to refer to it in order to have a safe and

compliant installation. In addition, you will find information about your stove (model, serial

number, etc.). You can find the certification label on the back of the stove.

The clearances to combustible walls may be slightly different in Canada and the U.S.A.

and may also differ depending on whether you use single or double wall flue pipe. Please

be sure to choose the correct clearance for your location and type of flue pipe. See figure

Clearances to combustible materials and floor protection to match each letter to a

clearance.
