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

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.
