3.5 OUTSIDE
AIR
The following are signs that a outside air kit may be required:
•
When there is combustion present: Wood burns poorly, smoke spills, back-draft takes place and your
chimney does not draw steadily.
•
In the winter there is too much condensation on the windows.
•
Opening a window seems to alleviate the above symptoms.
•
A ventilation system is installed in the house.
•
Other devices are present that exhaust house air.
•
The house has tight fi tting windows and/or is equipped with a
well-sealed vapour barrier.
A.
Connection from the appliance’s air intake to the outside is
mandatory in mobile homes only, either through a hole in the
wall or through the hole in the fl oor to line up with the knock out
in the leg model or the hole in the pedestal base.
B.
Use a fresh air kit. Secure the aluminum liner by fl aring the end
once it is inserted through the hole in the base of the leg or
pedestal model. If the air intake is through the fl oor, the hole in the pedestal back must be covered with
sheet metal to avoid cold air spillage into the room. A cover plate is available from your Wolf Steel Ltd.
dealer. Avoid cutting away fl oor joists, wall studs, electrical wires or plumbing. Seal around the outside
pipe with insulation to prevent drafts.
C.
Attach the rear knockout plate (located inside the ash pan for shipping purposes).
!
WARNING
IF ROOM AIR STARVATION OCCURS BECAUSE THE FRESH AIR INTAKE IS BLOCKED WITH ICE,
LEAVES, ETC., OR BECAUSE THE APPLIANCE DOOR WAS LEFT OPEN, OR DUE TO A STRONG
EXHAUST FAN OPERATING ETC., DANGEROUS FUMES AND SMOKE FROM THE OPERATING APPLI-
ANCE COULD BE DRAWN INTO THE ROOM.
