Installation and operation manual - Bistro woodburning cookstove
ENGLISH
8.2 Clearances Reduction to the Walls and the Ceiling
It is often desired to use as little space as possible when
installing cookstove. To do this, it is possible to reduce
the clearances safely and install the cookstove closer
to the walls by permanently installing a heat shield
between the cookstove and the flammable material.
It is possible to obtain a heat shield that respects the
dimensions requirements indicated in sections 8.3
Clearances for Shield Installation and 8.3.2 Mobile home
with heat shield. It is possible that additional sections
or extensions are needed in order to reduce clearances
easily and safely.
It is also possible to fabricate
the heat shield but one must
be careful since the rules for
heat shield construction are
sometimes complicated. Read
and apply the instructions
carefully. Some regions may have
different regulations. Consult the
local building code or contact the
fire department for restrictions,
inspection and installation
requirements in the area.

8.2.1 Heat Shield Construction Rules
− Adhesives used in the shield construction must not inflame or loose their adhesive properties at the
temperature that potentially will be reached.
− The assembly hardware must allow for complete vertical ventilation.
− The assembly hardware that penetrates in the combustible material from the screen surface can
only be used on the edges of the screen.

Note that to reduce the clearances as close as 6" from combustible material of an appliance using a single wall pipe, a certified heat shield must
be used. Only in this situation, the same clearances as with a certified double wall pipe connector can be used.
