1. INSTALLATION
When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the E.P.A Enerzone wood stove is
suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installations. The E.P.A Enerzone wood
stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom.
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 70 National Electrical Code and NFPA 211 Standard for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances are to be followed in the absence of
local code requirements.
In addition to the national installation and/or local building codes, fire officials (or other authorities
having jurisdiction) should be contacted to determine what restrictions and installation requirements
might apply locally.
Only Solution 1.6 and Solution 1.8 models are mobile home approved. Refer to the mobile home
installation section for details.

1.1.1 Pedestal or leg kit assembly
We suggest assembling the leg kit or pedestal before positioning the stove. See table 1.1.1 below:
1- Unscrew the 4 bolts in order to remove
the 2 steel supports. Dispose of the two
steel supports. They are no longer
required.
Note : Parts may vary slightly from one model to
another but the assembly procedure remains the
same.
2(A) - Fix the pedestal base using the 4 bolts and
washers removed in the previous step.
2(B) - Fix the 2 leg supports using the 4 bolts
and washers removed in the previous
step.
Table 1.1.1 Pedestal or leg kit assembly

7
1.1.2 Installation of the decorative u-shaped inserts
Your freestanding Enerzone wood stove is equipped with decorative u-shaped inserts. See table
1.1.2 below for installation instructions :
1- Remove the 7 screws that retain the
side panels and the rear heat shield
deflector.
2- Remove the side panels and clip the
U-shaped inserts (choose between
gold or nickel finish) at the top and
bottom of each panel.
3- Screw the side panels and heat shield
deflector back into place.
Table 1.1.2 Installation of the decorative u-shaped inserts
1.1.3 Door overlay installation
In order to complete the assembly of your freestanding Enerzone wood stove, you need to install
the door overlay. See table 1.1.3 below for installation instructions :
1- Position the overlay on the door frame and
fix it in place from behind using the 4
screws.
Note: It is not necessary to remove the
glass or any other component to install the
overlay.
Table 1.1.3 Door overlay installation

8
1.1.4 Optional air mate installation
Most freestanding Enerzone wood stoves can be equipped with an optional air mate. This device
accumulates heat and increases the air flow. See tale1.1.4 below for installation instructions :
1- Remove the 3 screws holding the rear eat shield deflector.
2- Position the air mate on top of the stove and fix it in place using the 3 screws removed in
step #1.
Table 1.1.4 Optional air mate installation

9
1.2 POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the most efficient heat
distribution throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the room where the
most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce
radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also functions by
convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with
cooler air at the floor level. The stove’s convection effect is facilitated by the installation of a
blower.
1.3 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AND FLOOR PROTECTOR
To install your appliance correctly, it is extremely important to respect all clearances to any
combustibles as indicated on your stove’s certification label.

Note 1 : The floor protection at the back of the stove is limited to the stove’s required
clearance if such clearance is smaller than 8 inches (203 mm).
Note2 : Only required under the horizontal section of the connector. Must exceed each side of
the connector by at least 2 inches (51 mm).
Reduced clearances using shielding
You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling
and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can include sheet
metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall.
Clearances of not less than 1" (25 mm) and not more than 3" (76 mm) between the bottom of the
shield and the floor and not less than 3" (76 mm) between the top of the shield and the ceiling must
be respected to allow vertical air circulation behind the shield. The shield must extend 20" (500 mm)
above the stove top and 18" (450mm) to each side of the stove (see graphic 1).
Following the installation of such a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on the stove
certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table.

2. CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM)
2.1 DEFINITIONS
For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions:
A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimney, which
attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house.
A chimney can be a masonry chimney (of masonry construction with an inside liner), or a
factory built chimney.
A factory built chimney can be a double walled chimney (two concentric pipes with
insulation - sometimes referred to as an insulated solid pack) or an air cooled chimney
(three concentric pipes, with insulation between the first and second pipes, and air between
the second and third pipes).
A single walled connector is a single pipe.
A double walled connector has two concentric pipes, no insulation, and is an air cooled
connector.
2.2 CHIMNEY
CAUTION:
DO NOT fill any framed space around the factory-built chimney with insulation or any other
material. Insulation placed in this area could cause adjacent combustibles to overheat.
Do not use makeshift compromises during installation as they may be safety hazards, and a
fire could result.
Do not connect this unit to a chimney system serving another appliance.
Do not cut rafters or ceiling joists without first consulting a building official to ensure
structural integrity is not compromised.

16
Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a
factory built chimney, it must comply with UL103 (USA) or ULCS629 (Canada) standards. It must
therefore be a 6” (152mm) HT Type (2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed
according to the manufacturer's specifications. The manufacturers’ installation instructions and
specified clearances should always be followed in accordance with local and national installation
codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be followed. In the
USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.
If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the
specifications of the Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed
together with fire cement, or have a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner. Round chimneys
are the most efficient.
The interior diameter of the chimney should be identical to the stove's smoke exhaust. A chimney
which is too small may cause draft problems, since it may not have the required volume to properly
evacuate the quantity of smoke resulting from the combustion. A chimney whish is too large may
also cause draft problems. In fact, a large chimney will be harder to warm-up and may not reach high
enough temperatures to create a proper draft effect. Note that it is the chimney which creates the
draft effect, not your stove. Your stove's performance is therefore directly dependent on an
adequate draft from your chimney.
The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:
Do not connect your stove to a chimney serving another appliance.
The chimney must rise above the roof at least 3' (0.9 mm) from the uppermost point of
contact. See Figure 2.2.
The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10' (3.04 m)
distance by a height of at least 2' (0.6 m). See Figure 2.2.
The minimum overall height of the chimney system, measured from the stove top to the
exterior termination cap of the chimney should be at least 12' (3.66m). A chimney which is
too short may lack the “tunnel effect” required to obtain a proper draft.
Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. Chimneys
constructed outside of the home on an exterior wall should be avoided if possible, especially
in colder climates. The gas which circulates into an interior chimney will cool more slowly,
thus reducing the build-up of creosote and the risk of flue fires.
All else being equal, cooler chimneys will have less draft than hotter ones. This problem will
be amplified if the chimney is excessively long. A chimney which is excessively long may be
very hard to warm-up due to its higher volume. A cool chimney may even down draft
(reverse flow) due to the difficulty in heating it up to operating temperature while trying to
evacuate the stack gases.

17
If an exterior chimney is used, the best results will be obtained by using a connector
vertically off the unit to the highest possible point before elbowing off horizontally to the
exterior chimney. For efficiency and safety reasons the stove must not be installed with an
insulated chimney connected directly to the appliance.
Using a fire screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection in order to
insure that it is not obstructed, thus blocking the draft. It should be cleaned when necessary.
FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney
2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney
The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another. For installation
instructions, we advise you to consult your chimney manufacturer whose products are sold at many
North American retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories.

18
Typical installation through the wall
Wall support system
If your chimney must rise along an outside wall, you need to connect it to your stove through an
adjacent wall. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required :
Chimney
Suitable lengths of chimney (enough to go up to your roof)
An adjustable wall support
A wall thimble
An adequate number of wall bands (one for every 8 feet of chimney, excluding the roof portion)
A stove pipe adapter
One insulated tee & plug
A roof flashing kit (if necessary)
A chimney cap.
Roof guys (if required)
Stove pipe
An adequate number of stove pipe sections.
A 90o elbow

FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall

19
Typical installation through the ceiling
Ceiling support system
If your chimney must rise inside the house and go through the ceiling, you need to connect it to
your stove at the ceiling level. For this type of installation, the following items are normally
required :
Chimney
An adequate number of chimney sections (enough to go up to your roof)
A ceiling support kit with stove pipe adapter
An attic insulation shield
A roof flashing kit
A chimney cap
Roof guys (if necessary)
Stove pipe
Suitable lengths of stove pipe
FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling

20
2.2.2 Typical installation through an existing masonry chimney
You can also install your stove using your existing masonry chimney. To do so, follow the
guidelines below. You may want to use a factory-built thimble, on construct your own brick thimble.
If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the
specifications of the Building Code in your region. It must normally be lined with fire clay bricks,
metal or clay tiles sealed together with fire cement. (Round flues are the most efficient).
