2 Getting Started

Install Guide

A. Design and Installation Considerations
Consideration must be given to: – Safety – Convenience – Traffic flow – Chimney and chimney connector required
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation. If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after installation.
If this appliance is in an area where children may be near it is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier to go in front of the appliance. Remember to always keep children away while it is operating and do not let anyone operate this appliance unless they are familiar with these operating instructions.
CAUTION
Check building codes prior to installation. · Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state
and national codes and regulations. · Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire officials
or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk. · Do NOT connect this appliance to a
chimney flue servicing another appliance. · Do NOT connect to any air distribution
duct or system. May allow flue gases to enter the house.
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the appliance system caused by:
· Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions · Down drafts · Tight sealing construction of the structure · Mechanical exhausting devices · Over drafting caused by excessive chimney heights · Ideal performance is with height of chimney between
14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of the appliance.

B. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration: 1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of
your home to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly. 2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers. 3. A CO detector should be installed in the room with the appliance. 4. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes. 5. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows: – In the event of a chimney fire:
­ Evacuate the house immediately ­ Notify fire department.
C. Negative Pressure
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk. · Negative pressure can cause spillage
of combustion fumes, soot and carbon monoxide. · Appliance needs to draft properly for safety.
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available 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

B. Hearth Protection Requirements
EMBER PROTECTION: It is necessary to install a Type I
floor protector.
Floor protector must be non-combustible material, extending beneath appliance with a minimum of 16 inches (406mm) in front of glass and 8 inches (203mm) to both sides of the fuel loading door. Open the door and measure 8 inches (203mm) from the side edge of the opening in the face of the appliance. See exception.
In Canada, similar floor protection must be provided 18 inches (457mm) in front and 8 inches (203mm) from the sides and rear of the appliance unless the hearth pad is
placed against the wall (Figure 9.2). Then the clearance may be reduced using double wall pipe and the Clearance to Combustibles table listed on page 10.
Exception: Non-combustible floor protector must extend beneath the flue pipe when installed with horizontal venting and extend 2 inches (51mm) beyond each side; See Figure 9.2

CAUTION
Hearth and Home Technologies does not recommend adhesive based vinyl flooring due to thermal expansion. Floating-style flooring (LVP – luxury vinyl plank or LVT ­ luxury vinyl tile) can be used, but it will reach temperatures up to 110 °F in a room with ambient temperature of 70 °F. Consult flooring specifications to ensure compatibility. When using LVP/LVT flooring, HHT Recommends wood stove and inserts have 57 inches of alternative flooring in front of the stove or insert before using LVP/LVT. Whether the stove or insert sits flush on the floor or is elevated on a raised hearth, 57 inches of alternative flooring is required in front of the stove or insert. For all other flooring, continue to follow clearance to combustible requirements in the installation manual.
NOTICE: Clearances that do not meet the minimum guidelines could result in damage or buckling to the vinyl flooring and is done at the installer’s risk.

4 Chimney Systems

A. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 11.1 the chimney should:
· Install through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die down of the fire. · Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.

· Consider the appliance location in order to avoid floor and ceiling attic joists and rafters.
· Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will easily correct your flue problem.
