1.  An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and must 
remain  clear  of  leaves,  debris,  ice  and/or  snow.  It  must  be 
unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air starvation 
which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a 
fire. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.
2.  Stove  must  be  secured  to  the  mobile  home  structure  by 
bolting  pedestal  through  hearth  pad  and  into  floor.    For  leg 
models, use 1/4” (6mm) lag bolts with the appropriate length 
for your application.
3.  Stove must be grounded with #8 solid copper grounding wire 
or equivalent and terminated at each end with N.E.C. approved 
grounding device.
4.  Stove must be installed with an approved UL103 HT ventilated 
chimney connector, UL103 HT chimney, and terminal cap with 
spark  arrestor.  Never  use  a  single  wall  connector  (stove 
pipe)  in  a  mobile  home  installation.    Use  only  double-wall 
connector  pipe,  Dura-Vent  DVL,  Selkirk  metalbestos  DS  or 
Security  DL  double-wall  connector  or  any  listed  double-wall 
connector pipe.
5.  Refer to page 7 of this manual or the Serial Number label on 
the back of the stove for clearances to combustibles.
6.  Floor protection requirements on pages 8-9 must be followed 
precisely.
7.  In  Canada,  this  appliance  must  be  connected  to  a  6” 
(152mm)  factory-built  chimney  conforming  to  CAN/ULC-
629M, STANDARD FOR FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEYS. Floor 
protection referenced on pages 8-9 must be followed.
8.  Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at the location 
where  the  chimney  or  other  component  penetrates  to  the 
exterior of the structure.
9.  Follow  the  chimney  and  chimney  connector  manufacturer’s 
instructions  when  installing  the  flue  system  for  use  in  a 
mobile home.
NOTE:  Offsets from the vertical, not exceeding 45°, are allowed 
per Section 905(a) of the Uniform  Mechanical  Code  (UMC). 
Offsets greater than 45° are considered horizontal and are also 
allowed,  providing  the  horizontal  run  does  not  exceed  75% 
of the vertical height of the vent. Construction, clearance and 
termination must be in compliance with the UMC Table 9C. 
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
WARNING: NEVER DRAW COMBUSTION AIR FROM 
A  WALL,  FLOOR  OR  CEILING  CAVITY  OR  FROM 
ANY  ENCLOSED  SPACE  SUCH  AS  AN  ATTIC  OR 
GARAGE.
CAUTION:  THE  STRUCTURAL  INTEGRITY  OF  THE 
MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING/ROOF 
MUST BE MAINTAINED. (i.e., DO NOT CUT THROUGH 
FLOOR JOIST, WALL STUD, CEILING TRUSS, ETC.)
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM.
You must use a Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit Part 831-1780 for installation in a mobile home.
NOTE: Top  sections  of  chimney  must  be  removable  to  allow  maximum  clearance  of  13.5  ft  (411cm)  from  ground  level 
for transportation purposes.
10.  Burn wood only. Other types of fuels may generate poisonous gases (e.g., carbon monoxide).
11.  If unit burns poorly while an exhaust blower is on in home, (i.e., range hood), then increase combustion air.
