If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks
around your appliance, and wherever cold air
could enter the room, with noncombustible
material. It is especially important to insulate
the outside chase cavity between the studs
and under the floor on which the appliance
rests, if the floor is above ground level.
Note:
Refer to cold climate pilot information on Page 39
for more information on standing pilot vs. intermittent pilot
options.
