OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile
home. This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure
problems. You can purchase this option through your heater dealer. Make sure to specify the part
number mentioned in this booklet. Installation instructions are supplied with the air intake kit.
Outside combustion air may be required if :
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur
whether or not there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell,
do not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-drafts occur whether or not
there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has any
powered devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
