1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
•  Installation  MUST  comply  with  all  local  building  codes

and regulations including those referring to national and

European standards.

•  Consult  insurance  carrier,  local  building  inspector,  fire

officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,

installation inspection and permits.

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact

measurements  for clearances and floor protection, before

actually beginning the installation. Location of the appliance

and chimney will affect performance.
Consideration must be given to:
•  Safety, convenience, traffic flow
•  Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and to

minimize the use of chimney offsets.

•  Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage

for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof (verti-

cal) or through exterior wall (horizontal).

•  Installing the required outside air kit will affect the loca-

tion of the vent termination.

Marginal Location:

•  Below peak

Location NOT recommended:

•  Not the highest point of the roof

•  Wind loading possible

Multi-level Roofs

Windward 

Leeward

Recommended:

Outside Air Intake

on windward side

NOT recommended:

Outside Air Intake

on leeward side

Recommended Location:

•  Above peak

Recommended:

•  Insulated exterior chase 

in cooler climates

Recommended Location:

•  Above peak

•  Inside heated space

Location NOT recommended:

•  Too close to tree

•  Below adjacent structure

•  Lower roof line

•  Avoid outside wall

Marginal Location:

•  Wind loading possible

Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you

must consider the location of:
•  Windows

•  Air Intakes

•  Air Conditioner

•  Overhang, soffits, porch roofs, adjacent walls

•  Landscaping, vegetation

•  Horizontal or vertical vent termination
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal lo-

cation is to vent above roof line when possible. This mini-

mizes the affects of wind loading.

2. Floor Support
The  supporting  floor  under  the  appliance  must  be  able

to  handle  the  weight  of  the  appliance,  fuel  load  and  the

weight of the chimney.
Ensure that your floor will suport these weights prior to in-

stallation.   Add  sufficient  additional  support  to  meet  this

weight requirment prior to installation. The weight of this

appliance is 109 kg and with a full hopper of fuel weighing

18 kg, the total for the appliance and fuel is 137 kg.
