of your stove, as well as, other unforeseeable issues.

Depending on your location and home construction, outside air may be necessary for optimal performance.
1. With the stove in the operating position, mark and drill a hole to accommodate the 2” flexible hose.
2. Insert the hose through the wall and attach the Outside Cover with one of the 2” hose clamps provided.
3. Then attach the Outside Cover to the outside wall.
4. Next, attach the Rodent Cover to the Outside Cover using four (4) of the #10 x 3/4 screws supplied.
5. On the inside of the home, slide the Inside Plate over the tube then attach to the wall with the four drywall
anchors and screws provided.
6. On the Air Inlet Tube coming out of the firebox, there is a cap that must have four (4), 5/32” (0.156) diameter
holes drilled in it for the fresh air installation. The cap is on the front side of the tube just under the burnpot.
