Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills
or ducts. You must provide two permanent open-
ings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within
12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to
the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors.
These spaces include attics and crawl spaces.
Follow the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation
for
required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT:
Do not provide openings for
inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermo-
stat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering
the attic will activate the power vent.
INSTALLATION

a solid fuel burning fireplace, the
chimney flue and firebox must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes
and loose paint by a qualified chim
-
ney cleaner. Creosote will ignite
if highly heated. A dirty chimney
flue may create and distribute soot
within the house. Inspect chimney
flue for damage. If damaged, repair
flue before operating heater.
WARNING: Seal any fresh
air vents or ash clean-out doors
located on floor or wall of fire
-
