prevent venting of combustion gases.
WARNING
B. Outside Air
A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for combustion
to take place. Whatever air is consumed by the
¿
re must be
replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc.
Most newly constructed houses or existing homes
¿
tted with
tightly sealed doors and windows are relatively air tight. In
this case, an outside air source must be made available to
feed combustion air from outside the home.
An outside air control handle allows you control of the out-
side air inlet if your
¿
replace is equipped with this option.
Use of outside air for combustion is highly recommended to
conserve heated air within the structure and to provide make
up air to keep the
¿
replace venting properly.
This
¿
replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the
¿
replace sys-
tem.
See Figure 9.1 for location and operation.
CAUTION
Outside air control handle is HOT. Adjust before lighting
¿
re.
C. Clear Space Near the Fireplace
Combustible materials must not be stored on the hearth ex-
tension. Room furnishings such as drapes, curtains, chairs
or other combustibles must be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) from the
open front of the
¿
replace.
E. Firescreen
A
¿
rescreen is always provided to control sparks. It must
be closed whenever the
¿
replace is in use. Glass doors or
¿
rescreens must not be used to hold burning material in-
side the
¿
replace. Only those glass doors speci
¿
cally tested
and listed for use with the speci
¿
c
¿
replace model should be
used. Screens should be closed when the glass doors are
closed.
F. Glass Doors
Most ef
¿
cient
¿
replace operation using glass doors is with
the doors open. When the doors are open the screen must
be closed. Only Hearth & Home Technologies glass doors
may be used. See Figure 9.2 for proper glass door opera-
tion.
