INSTALLING YOUR ROOM HEATER

now your next step is to determine where to install your new pellet stove heater. To get the most
efficient use of re‐circulated heat, you should consider a room that is centrally located within your home.
Choose a room that is large and open.
It is Extremely Important to maintain proper clearances from any combustible surfaces or materials in
the room where your heater will be located. You can find proper clearance measurements on page 13 of
this manual and on the rating label of your pellet stove.
The pellet stove can be vented through an exterior wall or into an existing masonry or metal chimney.
The chimney must be lined if it is over 6” (150mm) in diameter or if it has a cross‐sectional area of over
28 square inches (711mm

conform to CAN/CSA‐B365
