correct removal of by-products, it is
recommended that the unit be connected
to a separate exhaust system.

Ventilating the Work Area
WARNING
The room housing the unit
must be provided with
adequate make-up air to
ensure operator safety as
well as the proper operation
of the ironing section and
other fuel-burning equipment
in the area.
A permanent fresh air supply or natural air
ventilation is required for the unit. In general, one
square inch is required for each 4,000 BTU/H up
to 400,000 BTU/H, plus one square inch for each
10,000 BTU/H in excess of 400,000 BTU/H.
Based on these standards, the makeup air
required for the unit is approximately as follows:
• 56” cylinder: 19 sq. in. (123 cm
2
)
• 66” cylinder: 23 sq. in. (148 cm
2
)
• 80” cylinder: 26 sq. in. (168 cm
2
)
However, local requirements may differ.
Check local regulations to determine the exact
makeup air requirements. Follow local codes at
all times.
