Heater Placement Requirements
•
Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent.
•
Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
•
When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet, the installation is
considered an alcove and must meet the following requirements:
-
The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 48” tall
-
The alcove must not be more than 36” deep before the ceiling returns to 7’
-
The alcove must be at least 50-1/8” wide
•
The heater must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of heater, or
along the back of the heater can become blocked.
•
This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this
appliance produces when determining a location.
Mobile Home Requirements
•
When the stove is installed in a mobile home, it must be bolted to the floor and the appliance
grounded (use the optional blower with a grounded circuit or other suitable grounding method -
current ANSI/NFPA 70 or CSA C22.1).
Floor Protection Requirements
•
When the stove is installed directly on
carpeting, tile or other combustible
material other than wood flooring, the
appliance shall be installed on a metal
or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the appliance. Make sure
the four rubber-tipped bolts below the
stove contact the floor (they dampen
any noise that may transmit through
the hearth). Do not adjust with weight
on the bolts, the rubber tips may tear.
Electrical Requirements
Plug the stove into a grounded receptacle supplying a minimum 1.5 amps (120 Volts, 60 Hz, 180
watts).
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
