ENGLISH
PART B - INSTALLATION
7. General Information
7.1 Security
• Read this manual completely before installing the cookstove. It is important to fully respect the
installation instructions. If the cookstove is not correctly installed, it could result in a fire, bodily
injuries or even death.
• The information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides the
information published, in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines and web
sites).
• Mixing of appliance components from different sources or modifying components may result in
hazardous condtions. Where any such changes are planned, Stove Builder International Inc. Should
be contacted in advance. Any modification of the appliance that has not been approved in writing
by the testing authority violates CSA B365 (Canada), and ANSI NFPA 211 (USA).
• DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCTWORK UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATION.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• Connect this stove only to a listed factory-built chimney for use with solid fuel or to a lined masonry
chimney conforming to local and national building codes.
• If required, a supply of combustion air shall be provided to the room.
• Do not use makeshift materials or make any compromises when installing this cookstove.
• DO NOT INSTALL IN A MOBILE HOME.
7.2 Regulations Governing the Installation of the Cookstove
In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment
is to be followed in the absence of local code requirements. In the USA, the ANSI NFPA 211
Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances is to be followed
in the absence of local code requirements.
This cookstove must be connected to a chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT
chimneys in the Standard for Factory-Built Chimneys for Residential Type and Building Heating
Appliances, UL 103 HT and ULC S627 or to a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
7.3 Cookstove Positioning
Choose a location to avoid the chimney conflicting with floor joists, roof trusses, wall studs,
water pipes, electric wires, and that allows the least possible deviations in the chimney. The
location of the cookstove must allow enough room for its maintenance and the exhaust system.
This cookstove weighs approximately 150 kg (330 lb). To validate the installation of additional
floor joist, consult the local building code.
