1.4 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. It is essential that this Stûv unit be installed by a qualified professional. For
information on all the applicable regulatory requirements, contact the local fire
department before beginning the work.
2. The instructions for the installation of this unit comply with the aforementioned
standards. They must be closely followed to eliminate the risk of serious
problems. Any use contrary to the installation manual is a violation of federal
law.
3. Improper installation of this Stûv unit could result in a fire.To reduce the risk of fire,
follow the installation instructions to the letter. Failure to follow the instructions in
this manual may result in property damage, bodily injury and even death.
4. Any modifications made to this unit may pose a hazard and will void the
warranty. Should repairs be necessary, use only Stûv replacement parts.
5. Combustible materials such as firewood, wet clothing, etc. placed too close to
the unit could catch fire. Objects placed in front of the unit must be kept at a
distance of at least 48" (4’) from the unit’s glass face.
6. We recommend storing solid fuel in a clean, dry place. Do not place this type of
fuel within the risk area or in the loading/ash removal area.
7. Do not operate this appliance with the door open.
8. Never leave the stove unattended when the door is open. Always close the
door after the ignition period.
9. Do not burn garbage, plastic, petroleum-based products, gasoline, rubber,
industrial solvents, flammable liquids like naphtha and motor oil, paper,
cardboard, wood extracted from salt water and dried, painted wood or any
substance that emits dense fumes and strong odours.
10. Do not overfire the unit. Raising the temperature outside of the combustion
chamber can result in a chimney fire.
11. Never use chemicals or other liquids such as gasoline, gasoline-based lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or fuel a fire in the
stove. Keep all such liquids away from the unit while it is in operation.
12. Make sure the home is equipped with a smoke and carbon monoxide monitor
kept near the stove to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. We recommend
keeping a type A or ABC fire extinguisher on hand in the event of a chimney fire.
13. Do not connect this appliance to a chimney pipe serving another appliance, or
to a hot air distribution system.
14. This unit is hot when in use. Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture at a safe
distance. Touching the appliance while it is in operation may cause burns.
15. Some parts of the stove can be very hot when operated at rated capacity. Do
not allow the stove to heat to the point where parts become red.
16. Do not use a grate or other method to elevate the fuel. Burn firewood directly
on the firebricks. Do not elevate the fire.
17. This appliance needs periodic inspections and maintenance for proper
operation (minimum twice during the heating season).
18. Conduct regular maintenance of the stove as previously recommended.
19. Do not install this unit in a mobile home or in a transportable building.
20. The air inlets and outlets must remain unobstructed at all times.
21. The installation of the unit must comply with all local and national regulations.
22. Inspect and sweep the chimney frequently to ensure that it is in good condition.
Creosote can build up quickly in certain operating conditions. Inspect and
repair the chimney pipe as needed to ensure proper operation
23. This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must
not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise
operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions
in this manual.

.3 CLEARANCE
The heat radiating from the glass will be significant. Any combustible object must
be placed a minimum of 48" by 90° away from the glass face to avoid any fire risk.
CAUTION - FIRE HAZARD
To avoid major damage, no combustible material should be placed near
the stove's door or near the hot air outlet. Blocking the latter may cause the
unit to overheat and, in some cases, cause a fire.
Avoid heat traps. Materials exposed to the radiant heat must be able to
withstand high temperatures.

.5 AIR SUPPLY
The stove is supplied
by two types of air:
NOTE
Active air extraction systems (range hood, air conditioning, controlled
mechanical ventilation, another stove, etc.) in the same space or in an
adjacent room also consume a large amount of air, which could create
negative pressure in the room and hamper the stove's operation (risk of
backdraft). They can disrupt the stove's operation even if connected to an
outside air intake.
!
COMBUSTION AIR
The air required for combustion arrives directly from under the appliance via an
outside air intake connector specially designed for the Stûv 16-cube and 16-H
models (see next page for details).
The air injected into the top of the combustion chamber allows the gases to be
burned a second time, preventing fine particles from being released into the air.
The air flow along the glass pane helps keep it free of combustion dust, for an
impeccable view of the fire.
Once the gases have been burned, they are evacuated through the chimney
pipe (see CHIMNEY section for details).
The air combustion inlet can be configured in three ways. See next page for details.
The convection air system is incorporated in the stove. No connection is needed
for its operation.
The ambient air gathered from the room moves along the combustion
chamber, absorbing heat
Once heated, this air exits naturally through the appliance's upper frame,
spreading a comforting warmth throughout the room.
CONVECTION AIR

CAUTION
The air intake must never be adjusted. This wood heater has a manufacturer-
set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a

Option 1: Connected to the outside air with a kit
Although recommended, this setup is mandatory in some places.
Whether it is connected to the stove or not, the duct leading to the outside air must:
• be protected outdoors by a grille whose clear passage section is at least 4" in
diameter. Beware of water infiltration, snow accumulation and wind impacts,
which can damage the system or hinder its operation
Option 2: Connected to the inside air, in another location near the stove.
This air inlet must have a sufficient air intake (minimum ø 4"), from a crawl space,
ventilated room (basement) or another room in which the air exchange will always
be sufficient.
The criteria for the length of the duct and the bends are the same as for the
option 1.
Option 3: Without a connector, air taken from the same room as the stove
This option is not recommended for an airtight house.
If it is not possible to connect the stove to the outside air, it is important to ensure
that the air exchange in the room will always be sufficient when the stove is in
operation.
The air damper keeps the house from cooling down when the stove is not in use. It
has a 100% open and a 100% closed position, which cannot affect combustion. It is
recommended when installing in a highly energy-efficient house.
It should ideally be placed as close to the outer wall as possible. Validate that the
air damper dimensions meet the installation's needs. The damper's control cable
is 48" long and the damper is ø4" in diameter.

COMBUSTION AIR (OPTIONS)
If our standard ø 4’ flexible duct is used,
we recommend a maximum length of
12' with no more than 4 bends (see table
to the right). If these recommendations
are exceeded, it will be necessary to
compensate with a larger diameter
and/or a smoother duct.
• not be crushed
• ideally be equipped with an air
damper (optional)
• be at least 8' long , ideally insu-
lated, and form a loop in the wall

with winter temperatures).
