POSITIONING THE STOVE

It is very important to position the pellet stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the most

efcient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the

most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood pellet stoves produce radiating heat, the

heat we feel when we are close to a wood pellet stove. A wood pellet 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 an optional blower.

The appliance must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of heat may occur.

This appliance 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 pellet 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 required board is 1.2. If there is a

horizontal section of chimney connector, the oor protector should go under it and 2 inches beyond each side

Convert specication to R-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” mineral board K=0.29, R=1/0.29 x 0.125=0.431

Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231

Total R is greater than 1.2, the system is acceptable.

The oor protector should exceed the stove as follows:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ... 21 22
