Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Checkbuildingcodespriortoinstallation.
• InstallationMUSTcomplywithlocal,regional,stateand
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
ofcialsorauthoritieshavingjurisdictionoverrestrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact
measurements for clearances and oor protection, before
actuallybeginningtheinstallation.Locationoftheappliance
and chimney will affect performance.
Considerationmustbegivento:
• Safety,convenience,trafcow
• Placementofthe chimney and chimney connector and to
minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• Placetheappliancewheretherewillbeaclearpassage
foraListedchimneythroughtheceilingandroof(vertical)
orthroughexteriorwall(horizontal).
• Installingtherequiredoutsideairkitwillaffectthelocation
oftheventtermination.
Whenlocatingventandventingtermination,theidealloca-
tionistoventaboverooflinewhenpossible.Thisminimizes
the affects of wind loading.
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
• AirIntakes
• AirConditioner
• Overhang,softs,porchroofs,adjacentwalls
• Landscaping,vegetation
• Horizontalorverticalventtermination
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 sufcient additional support to meet this
weightrequirement prior toinstallation. Theweight ofthe
applianceis429lbs.
WARNING
Risk of Fire
Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do
NOTinstalldamaged,incompleteorsubstitute
components.
CAUTION
Ifburningshelledeldcorn,youmustuseapprovedvent-
ing specically designed for corn to prevent corrosion
or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting
manufacturer.

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
bloweroperation.

To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-down
