ASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and follow the directions in this manual to ensure proper assembly, installation and operation of your new
wood heater.
Caution! The appliance is very heavy.
The assistance from a second person is strongly suggested. Please use proper lifting technic when positioning the
appliance for assembly and installation. Several methods may be used to attach the legs and pedestal to the
appliance. The safest method is to roll the appliance on its back. When using this method, you should rst remove
the rebrick from the unit so as to reduce weight and possible breakage. It will be required to raise the bottom
of the unit up to attach two of the legs. It is recommended that you use cardboard or other means of padding
to protect the nish on your new stove.
FREESTANDING LEG ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack the stove and ensure all components are present:
2. Position the unit for assembly.
3. Make sure that the re brick is in place and undamaged. DO NOT remove the re brick.

INSTALLATION
POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the
most efcient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room
where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that stoves produce radiating
heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a stove. A stove also functions by convection, that is through
the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If necessary, the hot air
distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the use of a fan or blower.
FREE STANDING STOVE INSTALLATION
A stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of re or fail
to respect required clearances. It is of the utmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be
strictly adhered to during installation of the stove. Refer to the table and diagrams below for minimum required
clearances.
• Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2m) of the front of the unit.
• The clearance between the ue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and for vertical ue pipe.
• The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, a
oor, or a ceiling.

SAFETY NOTICE
• If this stove is not properly installed, a house re may result. To reduce the risk of re, follow the installation
instructions.
• Consult your municipal building department or re ofcials about permits, restrictions and installations
requirements in your area.
• Use smoke detectors in the room where your stove is installed.
• Smoke expelled from the unit, by either paint curing, opening the fuel loading door, or a negative pressure
inside the home, could trigger the smoke detectors. Mount smoke detectors at least 10’ from stove
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
• In the event of a chimney re, push the air control full closed to deprive the re of oxygen. Call the re
department.
• A source of fresh air into the room or space heated shall be provided when required.
• Room heater, solid fuel type, also for use in mobile homes.
• For Canadian installations, where passage
through a wall, or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation must
conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
• A ue pipe crossing a combustible wall
must have a minimum clearance of 18”
(457.2mm).
• To reduce ue clearances from
combustible materials, contact your local
safety department.

FLOOR PROTECTOR
The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or when installed on a combustible oor, on a oor
protector. The oor protector is required to provide heat, live ember, and ash protection and must be of a non-
combustible, continuous solid surface to protect against inltration of live embers and ash. The stove must be
placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or when installed on a combustible oor, on a Type 2 oor protector
listed to standard UL 1618 with a minimum R value of 1.03 and a minimum thickness of 1/2” or equivalent.

SPECIAL MOBILE HOME REQUIREMENTS
• WARNING! - Do not install in a sleeping room
• CAUTION! - The structural integrity of the
mobile home oor, wall, and ceiling/roof must be
maintained.
In addition to the previously detailed installation
requirements, mobile home installations must meet the
following requirements:
• The heater must be permanently attached to the
oor.
1. There are two holes in the pedestal base, use
3/8” bolts through the oor.
2. To attach the leg model use two 3/8-16 UNC
bolts through the oor.
• The heater must be electrically grounded to the
steel chassis of the mobile home with 8 GA copper
wire using a serrated or star washer to penetrate
paint or protective coating to ensure grounding.
• When moving your mobile home, all exterior venting
must be removed while the mobile home is being
relocated. After relocation, all venting must be
reinstalled and securely fastened.
• Outside Air is mandatory for mobile home installation.
See your dealer for purchasing.
• Check with your local building ofcials as other
codes may apply.
