Be sure to read the sections on clearances, floor protection, 

and chimneys before actively starting the installation. 

A woodburning stove radiates heat in all directions. Heat 

directed toward living areas in front of the stove is usually 

very welcome. 
However, heat radiating in other directions will not be as 

welcome if it results in overheating nearby walls, ceilings 

and floors. 
An important part of planning a safe installation is to be sure 

that combustible material located near your stove does not 

overheat.
Clearance is the distance between your stove and stovepipe 

and nearby walls, ceilings, and floors. 
If there is adequate clearance, then the nearby surfaces will 

not overheat.
The clearance distance should be empty except for non-

combustible heat shields. 

(Continued  on page 10)

Air  flowing  between  the  stove  and  stovepipe  and  nearby 

surfaces carries away heat. 
Do not fill the empty space with any insulating material.
Be aware that as wood is exposed to continuous heat it dries 

out, eventually lowering the temperature at which it will start 

on fire. 
Maintain the clearances outlined in this manual, particularly 

with respect to nearby combustible surfaces. 
Your Heartland cookstove has been tested for safe operation 

providing that these guidelines are followed.

An optional heat shield kit is available for our woodstoves 

for reduced clearances. See page 14 on
