3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Recommended Surface: 850 to 1850 sq. ft. (79 to 172 m 2 ) Maximum heat output (EPA test fuel) : Maximum heat output (seasoned cordwood): 13,19kW (45,000 BTU) 16.41 kW (56,000 BTU) Maximum efficiency (default EPA efficiency) : 63% Average emissions (EPA): 6.
4 TIPS ON WOOD HEATING Wood is a renewable energy. It is also a very clean heat source when used with appliances that are certif ied by the U.S. Envi ronmental Pr otection Agency (EPA), a standard accepted in Canada as well. EPA-certified wood stoves are different than conventional wood stoves.
5 SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION When installed and operated as described in these inst ructions, the Classic EPA wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installa tions. The Classic EPA wood stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom or a mobile hom e.
6 Clearances to any combustibles when measured directly from the floor protector to the ceiling mu st be a minimum of 84" (2134 mm). Clearances to any combustible s when m easured directly from the front of the stove must be a minim um of 48" ( 1219 mm).
7 1.3.1 Reduced clearances using shielding You may decrease the minim um clearances to combustib le m aterials by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. Those h eat radiation shields must be installed perm anently, and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat-tolerant m aterial.
8 1.4 FLOOR PROTECTOR If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it mu st be guarded by a non-combustible material extending a t least 18” (300mm) from t he front and 8” (200mm) from the sides and the back of the firebox., as shown in Figure 1.
9 SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) 2.1 DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions: • A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimne y , which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house.
10 If you are using a masonry chimney, it is im portant that it be built in compliance w ith the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or h ave a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner.
11 FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney 2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another.
12 FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall 1- Start by positioning your stov e where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum clearances to combustible mater ial. You will then be able to determine where the chimney will pass through the wall.
13 2- Once the opening completed, y ou need to frame in the area to allow for the installation of a wall thimble. A wall thimble is not requir ed for installations through concrete walls. 3- You must first secure the wall thimble into t he exterior wall surface.
14 5- You can now install the wall s upport. Simply slide the wall suppor t up to the tee, ensuring that the adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee. When the wall support is level and properly positioned, you can use lag bolts to secure it into the wall studs.

16 Typical installation through the ceiling FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling 1- Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists.
17 2- Before you install the ceiling support, you need to frame the area. 3- To install the ceiling support, just slide the assembly into the framed opening from below. Once you ensure that the finishing plat e is fl ush with the underside of the ceiling and assembly is level, secure it with screws.
18 6- Now, you can add additional chimney sections . Continue adding chimney lengths until a height of about 2 feet below the next ceili ng level. An attic insulation shield must be installed where a chimney passes from a lower living space into an upper living space or attic space.
19 9- You are now ready to connect your chimney to your stove. Simply install the inter-connecting stove pipe between the stove pipe adapter and the st ove. You can follow the instructions in the following section (section 2.3) of th is manual called « CHIMNEY CONNECTOR».

32 4.5 CHIMNEY (FLUE) CLEANING Regular chimney (flue) maintenance, as well as good bur ning practices, are required to prevent chim ney fires.
