B. Fire Safety
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles.
Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain
the designated air space around the chimney. This space
around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat
removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause
a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable re safety, the following shouldbe
given serious consideration:
1. Installatleastonesmokedetectoroneachoorofyour

appliance and close to sleeping areas. Follow the smoke
detector manufacturer's placement and installation

on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and
oor protection, before actually beginning the installation.
When installing on a combustible oor, proper oor
protection material must be used. See page 12 for details.
Maintain specied vent clearance to combustible
requirements listed by the vent manufacturers instructions
and all clearance to combustibles listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin
your installation. Be sure local codes do not supersede UL

and after the installation.
Be sure to provide a source of fresh air to the room or
directly to the appliance. Make-up air is needed to replace
what the chimney draws away through the appliance.
Consider attaching outside air to the appliance. Certain
conditions can create negative pressure within the dwelling.
When this occurs, you may have trouble operating the wood
stove. Worse yet, it may be strong enough to allow smoke
leakage from the appliance. Installation on lower levels and
in basements can be especially affected.
