NOTE:
It is recommended to install an outside air inlet with a diameter of at least 4" in the room where the heating appliance is
installed (see drawing below). It is preferable to choose a wall which is not exposed to dominant winds, depending on
the conditions surrounding your house.
N.B. The owner of the furnace is responsible for the room’s air quality in case of negative pressure or
temporary negative pressure.
If there is a fan in the wood storage room, make sure it does not create a depression in the room where the furnace is
installed.
For more information regarding the installation of fresh air intake adapter, refer to the option’s manual.
