SAFETY INFORMATION
Your Champlain is an attractive and extremely efficient
heater, utilizing today’s best technologies. By following
a few simple safety precautions and by performing
minimal maintenance, the unit will remain appealing
while providing years of quality performance.
The installation must conform to local codes or, in the
absences of local codes, the current National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) or CAN/CGA B149
Installation Code. (Installer l’appareil selon les codes

the first several burns and also after long periods when
the stove is not burned. During these initial burns,
open a window(s) to assist in the removal of the
smoke/odor.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of ½ psig. (3.5k Pa). The
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig
(3.5k Pa).

Unpacking and Inspection
Hearthstone packages your Champlain to withstand
normal shipment without damage. However, damage
can still occur during transit. Take care to inspect for
damage when unpacking and installing the unit.
DO NOT INSTALL, OR PUT INTO SERVICE, A
DAMAGED OR INCOMPLETE HEATER.
Remove the shrink-wrap and other packaging
materials taking care not to damage the stove’s finish.
Inspect the Champlain for visible or concealed
damage. The unit should be square and true. The
sheet metal parts should be smooth and free of bends
and dents. Any enameled cast iron should be free of
chips or cracks. If visible or concealed damage is
found or suspected, contact your dealer for
instructions.
Always use gloves and eye protection when handling
the decorative ceramic fire logs and burner. Use care
when handling these parts as they are fragile and
subject to damage and breakage if handled roughly.
See the firebox access instructions on page 9. Unpack
and inspect the logs for damage. Inspect the metal
burner as well. Open the other boxes and inspect the
components. If log, burner or any other component
damage is encountered, contact your dealer for a
replacement. Otherwise, set the logs and other
components aside until called for during the
installation.
Dismounting from Pallet
With the accessory boxes removed and set aside,
remove the four lag screws that fasten the unit to the
pallet. Take care not to mar or chip the stove’s finish.
Have someone help lift the stove off the pallet, taking
care to avoid damaging components mounted under
the stove.

Clearances to Combustibles
Note: Ensure clearances are in accordance with
local installation codes andthe requirements of the
gas supplier. Dégagement conforme aux codes
d’installation locaux et aux exigences du
foumisseunde gaz.
Due to high surface temperatures, locate the unit
out of traffic areas and away from furniture and
draperies. Do not place clothing and other
flammable material on or near the heater. When
positioning the unit always maintain adequate
clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber and allow for adequate
ventilation. Minimum clearances to combustibles
must be maintained as shown in Figures 5 - 8.
Note: The rear clearance to combustibles is
determined by either the unit’s or the vent pipe’s
minimum clearance, depending on whether the
installation calls for vertical rise within the room or a
rear exit, through-the-wall vent pipe. Ensure you
consider the need for access to the gas control valve
access door on the front of the unit as well as full
access for periodic cleaning and servicing. Also
consider clearance for the blower assembly if present,
or planned in the future
CAUTION: THESE CLEARANCES REPRESENT
MINIMUM DISTANCES IN ALL CASES, WHICH,
THROUGH TESTING IN AN INDEPENDENT
LABORATORY TO ANSI AND CSA STANDARDS,
WILL PREVENT FIRE OR SPONTANEOUS
COMBUSTION. WE DO NOT CONTROL THE
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS EXPOSED TO HEAT
BY THIS PRODUCT; THEREFORE, AN
ASSESSMENT MUST BE MADE BY THE INSTALLER
TO PREVENT CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OF
WALLS AND FLOORING.
Hearth Requirement/Floor
Protection
You can place the Champlain directly on any non-
combustible surface or on a wood floor. When placing
the Stowe on any other type of combustible surface
you must install a panel made of metal, wood, stone,
or glass under the appliance. The panel must
extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
Installations must meet all local codes.
