B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors

Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical 

Power Failure

To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back 

in the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down 

conditions, it must be able to draft naturally without exhaust 

blower operation.

Negative pressure in the house will resist this natural draft if 

not accounted for in the pellet appliance installation.

Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels. This 

air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors which 

flows into lower levels of the house.

Vents and chimneys into basements and lower levels of the 

house can become the conduit for air supply and reverse 

under these conditions.

Outside Air

An outside air kit is recommended in all installations. The 

Outside Air Kit must be ordered separately.

Per national building codes, consideration must be given 

to combustion air supply to all combustion appliances.  

Failure to supply adequate combustion air for all appliance 

demands may lead to back-drafting of those and 

other appliances.

When the appliance is roof vented (strongly recommended):

The air intake is best located on the exterior wall 

oriented towards the prevailing wind direction during 

the heating season.

When the appliance is side-wall vented:

The air intake is best located on the same exterior wall 

as the exhaust vent outlet and located lower on the wall 

than the exhaust vent outlet.

The outside air supply kit can supply most of the demands 

of the pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to 

the total house demand.

House demand may consume the air needed for the 

appliance. It may be necessary to add additional ventilation 

to the space in which the pellet appliance is located.

Consult with your local HVAC professional to determine the 

ventilation demands for your house.

CAUTION

• 

DO NOT CONNECT THIS Appliance TO A CHIMNEY 

FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

• 

DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION 

DUCT OR SYSTEM.

Vent Configurations

When installing a pellet appliance with a horizontal vent 

configuration the frequency of power outages should 

be considered:

•  Power outages during operation will cause the 

appliance to immediately turn off and may create 

conditions where smoke will back draft into the house. 

In order to reduce the likelihood of smoke back drafting 

into the house during a power outage, Hearth and 

Home Technologies strongly suggests:

 - Installing the pellet venting with a minimum vertical 

run of 5 feet (1.52m).

 - Installing the outside air kit at least 4 feet (1.22m) 

below the vent termination.

To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and 

to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:

• 

Maintain specified clearances to windows, doors and 

air inlets, including air conditioners.

• 

Vents should not be placed below ventilated soffits. 

Run the vent above the roof.

•  Avoid venting into alcove locations.

•  Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks or 

onto covered porches.

•  Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches (305mm) 

from the vent termination to the exterior wall.  If 

you see deposits developing on the wall, you may 

need to extend this distance to accommodate your 

installation conditions.

Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility 

for, not does the warranty extend to, smoke damage 

caused by reverse drafting of pellet appliances under 

shut down or power failure conditions.
