Introduction and Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to guide and instruct Shaker stove owners in proper burning to achieve
environmentally friendly combustion and to minimize the risk of incorrect use and operation of the stove.
Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. It is therefore
very important to read this entire manual carefully before you install and use your new Shaker stove, and
save the instructions. Correct operation is also vital with regard to our applicable warranty terms.
For more information on wood burning visit the website http://woodheat.org/.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR
LOCAL BUILDING INSPECTOR OR FIRE MARSHALL TO HELP YOU FOLLOW THE RULES AND
REGULATIONS IN YOUR LOCAL AREA. WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT YOUR DEALER CHECK
THE STOVE BEFORE INSTALLATION FOR COMPLETENESS AND FUNCTIONALITY.
If your stove is not installed properly, a home fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the
installation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area. Not approved for use in a mobile home.
Take particular note of this symbol throughout the manual.
This indicates special attention.
Follow the manual during installation and operating of the stove.

Service Packet
The SHAKER stove is delivered with a service packet. It contains the installation and user manual,
copper lubricant, the heat protector handle, and a glove. Please note that the glove supplied with the
stove is equally suitable for left and right-handed persons.
Outside Air Supply
Ensure that there is sufficient combustion air in the room in which
the stove is installed, and that there is an adequate supply of
combustion air to the stove, which can be supplied from another
room or from outside.
With the Shaker air system, the stove uses combustion air from
either another room or outside (through a connection to the firebox
via the outside air connector).
Stoves with combustion air supply from outside are particularly
suited for rooms with negative pressure (e.g. use of exhaust fan).
Please refer to your dealer, as this connection should always be
made by a qualified person.

Installation of Your Stove
The distances (see Fig. on page 8) of the stove to combustible materials or walls are listed in the table
below. These are the minimum clearances for installation, and any reductions must first be approved by
the regulatory authority. Clearances to noncombustible materials are 2” (5cm), but note that
“noncombustible” must be solid cement or block (not brick or tile over combustible material).
Use floor plates under the stove made with non-combustible fire-resistant materials such as
steel, tile, or glass.
Before installation, make sure the floor can carry the weight of the stove (in the Technical
data section of this manual).

*Note that the Parallel Wall and Corner Wall Installation clearances
(diagrams I. and II.) are based on the dimensions at the top of the
stove - 16” (40cm) wide x 14” (35cm) deep.
**The Floor Plate clearances (diagram III.) are based on the
dimensions at the base of the stove unit (not including the bench) -
20” (50cm) wide x 18” (46cm) deep. Therefore, the required minimum
size for the Shaker floor plate is 36” (91cm) wide x 34” (86cm) deep
in the US and 46” (115cm) wide x 34” (86cm) deep for Canada.

Connection to the Chimney
The Shaker stove can be connected from top or rear. The diameter of the
stove pipe is 6” (152 cm). Do not use connector pipes and chimneys with
smaller clearance diameters or less than 24 gauge steel. It must be installed
using a Class A UL 103 HT approved factory-built chimney system or a code-
approved masonry chimney with a flue liner. Aluminum and galvanized steel
pipe is not acceptable. In Canada, the installation must conform to NFPA 211
or CAN/CSA-B365. The chimney must extend through the roof at least 3’
(1m), and 2’ (6 m) above any structure within 10’ (3 m). The condition of the
chimney and height is very important. We suggest a total minimum height of
10’ (3 m).
To reach the rated heat capacity, the minimum delivery pressure of the
chimney must be 10 to 15 Pa (1.0 to 1.5 mm WC). Follow the rules and
regulations in your local area.
It is very important to ensure that your chimney has a good draft. Your dealer or your
chimney sweep will be able to guide and advise you on your chimney conditions.

Each chimney connector or chimney connector section must be
installed to the stove flue collar and to each other with the male
(crimped) end toward the stove. This prevents any amount of
condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the
pipe or the stove top. The flue collar connector should be secured
with sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not
separate. For the best performance the chimney connector should
be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90°
elbows. The maximum horizontal run is 36”and a recommended
total length of chimney connector should not exceed 10 feet.
Always slope horizontal runs upward ¼” per foot toward the
chimney. Note the chimney connector pipe should not pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor
or ceiling.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue or air distribution duct or any system serving
another appliance.
For venting vertically into a Class A chimney, single wall black steel pipe (at least 24 gauge and 6” in
diameter) must be used in the room where the stove is installed. Refer to the manufacturer´s instructions
for the connection to the listed chimney.
For venting directly into a masonry chimney or through a thimble, the top of the single wall pipe must be
at least 18“ (46 cm) below a combustible ceiling and conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365 guidelines
and methods.
