B. Fire Safety
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insu-
lation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the
designated air space clearance around the chimney. This
space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat
removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause
a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

cause a house fire.
1. Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic
flow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and
chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation
on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor
protection, before actually beginning the installation.

chimney connector. 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
in a location to maintain a clear passage for the installation
of any listed and approved pellet venting system. This appli-
ance may be vented vertically or horizontally.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin
your installation. Be sure local building codes do not super-
sede UL specifications and always obtain a building permit
so that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly
cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation,
please contact your local dealer.

2. Thermostat Location
The thermostat’s location will have some effect on the
appliance’s operation. When the thermostat is located close
to the appliance, it may require a slightly higher temperature
setting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the
thermostat location is in an adjacent room or on a different
floor level, you will notice higher temperatures near the
appliance.
