Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of
two ways. Consult your local building code or CAN/CSA-
B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances
and Equipment before proceeding.
1.
Outside air supply
- Outside air may be drawn from
either side of the stove.
To draw outside air, remove the cover plate on the side
you wish to draw the air from and connect the outside air
adapter provided (Fig. #14).
Outside Air Adapter
The adapter is only required if outside combustion air is
used.
Installation:
Remove cover plate from the side of the unit closest to the
exterior wall in which you will be connecting the outside
air inlet. To change from side to rear inlets, remove the
screws holding the corner plate to the air jacket. Gently pull
corner plate from the unit and disconnect the fl ex vent, fl ip
over the corner plate and reattach the fl ex vent. Reattach
the corner plate to the air jacket. Place the adapter over
the 4" round hole with the collar facing out and attach with
screws previously removed with the cover plate.
Cut or drill a 4" diameter hole in the closest exterior wall
or in the fl oor anywhere inside the chase.
Cover the hole
with a 4" x 4" (100 mm x 100 mm), 20GA wire mesh
minimum, rodent screen and staple/nail in place.
Provide water protection as required. Attach 4" venting
(not supplied) to adapter
WARNING:
This hole must get its air from the outdoors and
be fi nished with an approved vent cap. The use of outside
combustion air for residential installation requires the unit
to be secured to the structure to prevent dislodging of
the air duct. Check local building codes for instruction on
sealing the vent cap at the penetration point of the build-
ing. The combustion air inlet ducts can not terminate in
an attic space or garage.
2.
Room air supply
- Remove the cover plate from the front
of the unit underneath the ashlip. The stove will now draw
its air from the room through this opening and into the
fi rebox intake. You must ensure the room has adequate
air to operate the unit.
WARNING:
This unit is not designed to be operated with
the fi ring door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of
sparks landing on combustibles, an open fi re door will
cause the heater to draw excess air from the living space
and possibly cause suffocation.
CAUTION:
The living space around the heater must be well
ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may
cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes
to be pulled into the living area. During extremely cold
weather, and especially when burning at very slow rates,
the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up,
partially blocking the fl ue gases. If blockage occurs, fl ue
gases may enter living space.
A typical outside air connection is shown in Fig. #15.
