ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Blower Assembly
THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BE-
FORE ATTEMPTING THE INSTALLATION.
THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY IS INTENDED FOR USE
ONLY WITH A STOVE THAT IS MARKED TO INDICATE
SUCH USE.
DO NOT ROUTE THE SUPPLY CORD NEAR OR
ACROSS HOT SURFACES!
Fix the assembly to the back of the stove with
the four screws provided.
Pedestal Trim Assembly
Assemble trim pieces as shown with the screws provided
in the parts bag. Washers may not be necessary. This may
not be necessary depending on the trim kit you have.
After trim assembly, attach to the pedestal base at
the location shown using the screws provided.
Ash Pan Assembly
If not already installed, slide the ash pan inside the ash
pan housing.
2 BOLTS PER LEG
Leg Assembly
If not already installed or for purpose of repair, follow these
directions. Because of this heaters weight, we suggest
getting assistance maneuvering it into position.
Begin by removing all the rebrick. Carefully roll the heater
onto its side, placing a couple wooden blocks to hold the
heater off the legs. A piece of carpet would also help
reduce the chances of scratching the unit. Once you’ve
attached the legs with the supplied hardware, stand the
heater back on its legs.

POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area
thatwillfavorthemostefcientheatdistributionpossiblethroughoutthehouse.Thestovemust
therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room
possible. Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a
wood stove. A wood stove also functions by convection, that is through the displacement of hot air
accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If necessary, the hot air distribution from
the stove may be facilitated by the installation of a blower.
The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive
accumulation of heat may occur.
A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the
way in case of re or fail to respect required clearances.

FLOOR PROTECTOR
Your wood stove should be placed on a 1 inch, non-combustible surface with a k factor of 0.84. For
multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The R value for the
requiredboardis1.2.Ifthereisahorizontalsectionofchimneyconnector,theoorprotectorshould
go under it and 2 inches beyond each side
ConvertspecicationtoR-value:
k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R=1/k x T
C-factor is given: R=1/C
Example:
If the oor protector is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a “k”
factor of 0.29 the total R-value of the system is:
4” brick C=1.25, R=1/1.25=0.8
1/8”mineralboardK=0.29,R=1/0.29x0.125=0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231
Total R is greater than 1.2, the system is acceptable.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)
Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this
is not the case, we recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem
with the draft.
The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or
0.53 mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.
Your smoke pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section (crimped end) of the pipe
faces down. Attach each of the sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws.
The pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch
per foot, with the upper end of the section toward the chimney. Any installation with a horizontal
run of chimney pipe must conform to NFPA 211. You may contact NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) and request the latest edition of the NFPA Standard 211.
To insure a good draft, the total length of the coupling pipe should never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m
to 3.04 m). (Except for cases of vertical installation, cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust
system can be much longer and connected without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room).
There should never be more than two 90 degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust system.
Installation of a “barometric draft stabilizer” (replace register) on a smoke exhaust system is
prohibited.
Furthermore, installation of a draft damper is not recommended. Indeed, with a controlled combustion
wood stove, the draft is regulated upon intake of the combustion air in the stove and not at the exhaust.

CHIMNEY
Your wood stove may be hooked up with a 6” factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a fac-
torybuiltchimney,itmustcomplywithUL103orCSA-B365standard;thereforeitmustbeaTypeHT

thebuild-upofcreosoteandtheriskofchimneyres.Notethatitisthechimneyandnotthestove
which creates the draft effect; your stove’s performance is directly dependent on an adequate draft
from your chimney.
The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney:
1. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
2. It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the uppermost point of contact.
3. The chimney must exceed any part of the building or other obstruction within a 10’ (3.04m)
distance by a height of 2’ (0.6m).
4. Installation of an interior chimney is always preferable to an exterior chimney. Indeed, the
interior chimney will, by denition, be hotter than an exterior chimney, being heated up
by the ambient air in the house. Therefore the gas which circulates will cool more slowly,
thus reducing the build-up of creosote and the risk of chimney res.
5. The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will be increased with an interior chim-
ney.
6. Using a re screen at the extremity of the chimney requires regular inspection in order
to insure that it is not obstructed thus blocking the draft, and it should be cleaned when
used regularly.

FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY :
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be
followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support
packageorwallpass-throughand“T”sectionpackage,restops(whereneeded),insulationshield,
roofashing,chimneycap,etc.Maintainproperclearancetothestructureasrecommendedbythe
manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstructions for
safety and proper draft operation.
