This installation must comply with their rulings. .. Do not install this furnace in a mobile home or trailer. .. Always have a smoke or ionization detector and a CO detector installed in your home. .. To prevent injury or damage, do not allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the furnace to operate it. ..Spend some time with your furnace to become well acquainted with different settings and how each will affect its burning patterns. It is impossible to state just how each setting will affect your furnace because of the variations in each installation. DISCLAIMER NOTICE The BTU ranges and heating capacity specifications are provided as a guide only and in no way guarantee the output or capacity of the units. The actual BTU output depends on the type of fuel being burned and its conditions, the thermostat setting, the draft adjustment and the chimney to which the unit is attached. The actual area that the unit will heat depends on factors such as the conditions of the building, heat loss, type of construction, amount of insulation, type of air movement, and the location of the unit, and more importantly, your duct work and return air facility. WARNING: Do not alter this appliance in any way. Doing so may void your warranty. These instructions comply with CAN/CSA-B365 LOCATING YOUR FURNACE The furnace is to be installed maintaining clearances as shown in illustration. Do not place the furnace directly on a combustible floor. If you're placing it on a combustible floor, an approved fire retardant material equivalent to 3/8" UL Listed millboard should be placed under the furnace. The material must extend at least 16" in front of and 8" on either side of the fuel-loading and ash-removal doors, and underneath the chimney connector and extending at least 2" on either side of the chimney connector. CAUTION: Do not store combustible or flammable material near furnace. MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO FLAMMABLE WALLS (TOP VIEW) FLAMMABLE WALL FLUE 12" 22" 20" 15" REDUCED CLEARANCES NFPA guidelines and most codes permit reduced clearances to combustible walls and ceilings if adequate protection is added. A common mistake is to assume that sheet metal, masonry, or millboard placed directly against a wall protects it. Materials installed in this manner give very little protection. These materials are good heat conductors, so they will be almost as hot on their back side as they are on the exposed side. Therefore, the combustible wall behind is still a fire hazard. A wall can be kept cool using these items but only if they're mounted and spaced out from the wall by an inch or two to allow free circulation of room air behind the protective panel. The protective panel should start within a few inches of floor level. The three rules to follow when constructing wall protectors: 1. Non-combustibility of all materials including mounting or supporting. 2. A well ventilated air space between protector or wall. 3. Sufficient strength and rigidity so that the protector and air space will be durable. 2" FROM CEILING CONSTRUCTING PROTECTIVE COVERING NON-FLAMMABLE AND ALL SUPPORTS MUST BE NON-COMBUSTIBLE. WALLS 1" AIR SPACE 2" FROM FLOOR CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS A fireclay lined masonry or Class A 103HT All-Fuel Metal Insulated Chimney must be used in all airtight wood furnace installations. The minimum recommended flue size for the U.S. Stove Clayton Furnace is 6" (inside diameter) for round flues, and 7" x 7" for square flues. When making new chimney installations, always follow the chimney manufacturers instructions. 2 NOTE: Type of chimney: Class A All-Fuel UL 103HT TOP OF CHIMNEY MUST CAP SHOULD HELP BE 2 FT. ABOVE HIGHEST PREVENT DOWNDRAFT POINT OF ROOF WITHIN WHILE STILL PROVIDING 10 FEET ...
