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440lbs.withafullloadoffuelthemaxweight
is520lbs.
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT
installdamaged,incompleteorsubstitutecomponents.
