A . Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• InstallationMUSTcomplywithlocal,regional,stateand
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
ofcialsorauthoritieshavingjurisdictionoverrestrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
Itisagoodideatoplanyourinstallationonpaper,usingexact
measurements for clearances and oor protection, before
actuallybeginningtheinstallation.Locationoftheappliance
and chimney will affect performance.
Considerationmustbegivento:
• Safety,convenience,trafcow
• Placementofthe chimney and chimney connector and to
minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• Placetheappliancewheretherewillbeaclearpassage
foraListedchimneythroughtheceilingandroof(vertical)
orthroughexteriorwall(horizontal).
• Installingtherequiredoutsideairkitwillaffectthelocation
of the vent termination.
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal loca-
tion is to vent above roof line when possible. This minimizes
the affects of wind loading.
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
mustconsiderthelocationof:
• Windows
• AirIntakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang,softs,porchroofs,adjacentwalls
• Landscaping,vegetation
• Horizontalorverticalventtermination
2. Floor Support
The supporting oor under the appliance must be able to
handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.
Ensure that your oor will support these weights prior to
installation. Add sufcient additional support to meet this
weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 429 lbs.
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT
install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.

B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power
Failure
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in
the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down con-
ditions, it must be able to draft naturally without exhaust
blower operation.
Negative pressure in the house will resist this natural draft if
not accounted for in the pellet appliance installation.
Heatrisesinthehouseandleaksoutatupperlevels.This
airmustbereplacedwithcoldairfromoutdoorswhichows
into lower levels of the house.
Vents and chimneys into basements and lower levels of the
house can become the conduit for air supply and reverse
under these conditions.
Outside Air
An outside air kit is recommended in all installations. The
OutsideAirKitmustbeorderedseparately.
Pernationalbuildingcodes,considerationmustbegivento
combustionairsupplytoallcombustionappliances.Failure
to supply adequate combustion air for all appliance demands
may lead to back drafting of those and other appliances.
Whentheapplianceisroofvented(stronglyrecommended):
The air intake is best located on the exterior wall oriented
towards the prevailing wind direction during the heating
season.
Whentheapplianceisside-wallvented:
The air intake is best located on the same exterior wall as
the exhaust vent outlet and located lower on the wall than
the exhaust vent outlet.
The outside air supply kit can supply most of the demands of
the pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to the
total house demand.
Housedemandmayconsumetheairneededfortheappli-
ance.Itmaybenecessarytoaddadditionalventilationto
the space in which the pellet appliance is located.
ConsultwithyourlocalHVACprofessionaltodeterminethe
ventilation demands for your house.
Vent Congurations
When installing a pellet appliance with a horizontal vent con-
gurationthefrequencyofpoweroutagesshouldbeconsid-
ered:
• Poweroutagesduringoperationwillcausetheappliance
to immediately turn off and may create conditions where
smokewillbackdraftintothehouse.Inordertoreduce
the likelihood of smoke back drafting into the house
duringapoweroutage,HearthandHomeTechnologies
stronglysuggests:
• Installingthepelletventingwithaminimumvertical
runof5feet(1.52m).
• Installing the outside air kit at least 4 feet (1.22m)
below the vent termination.
To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and to
preventre-entryofsootorashintothehouse:
 • Maintain specied clearances to windows, doors and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
 • Vents should not be placed below ventilated softs.
Run the vent above the roof.
• Avoid venting into alcove locations.
• Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks or
onto covered porches.
 • Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches (305mm)
from the vent termination to the exterior wall.  If you
see deposits developing on the wall, you may need to
extend this distance to accommodate your installation
conditions.
CAUTION
• DONOTCONNECTTHISApplianceTOACHIMNEYFLUE
SERVICINGANOTHERAPPLIANCE.
• DONOTCONNECTTOANYAIRDISTRIBUTIONDUCT
ORSYSTEM.

C. Negative Pressure
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can
cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot.
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
ablefortheappliancetooperateproperly.Itcanbestrongest
in lower levels of the house.
Causesinclude:
• Exhaustfans(kitchen,bath,etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water
appliances and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Locationofreturn-airventstofurnaceorairconditioning
• ImbalancesoftheHVACairhandlingsystem
• Upperlevelairleakssuchas:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
Tominimizetheeffectsofnegativeairpressure:
• Installtheoutsideairkitwiththeintakefacingprevailing
winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances
and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
• Recessedlightingshouldbea“sealedcan”design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Atticmountedductworkandairhandlerjointsandseams
taped or sealed
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent an appli-
ance successfully. When an appliance is drafting suc-
cessfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home
through the chimney.
Installthroughthewarmairspaceenclosedbythebuild-
ing envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
duringlightinganddie-downofthere.
Considerationsforsuccessfuldraftinclude:
• Preventingnegativepressure
• Locationofapplianceandchimney
E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection

area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area, or
any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such
as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.

NOTE:Theapplianceexhaustoutletisdesignedto
accommodate3inchventing.Useof4inchventing
requires the use of a 3-to-4 inch exhaust vent increaser
in addition to any other venting components needed,
