WARNING: This appliance has been designed to draw room air for proper heat circulation
from the sides and bottom of the unit, and out the top front. Blocking or modifying these
openings in any way can create hazardous situations.
The vent length for the E30I must be between 8ft (2.44 m) and 30ft (9.14 m).
This model is vented with a 3” intake and a 3” exhaust aluminum or stainless steel flex vent leading into
a vertical termination cap. The flue collars of this model will fit inside of a standard 3” vent and must be
fastened directly to the vent with three screws.. The exhaust vent and air intake are both located on the
top of the unit.
Check periodically that the vents are unrestricted. Also ensure that all direct vent pipes have been
properly sealed and installed after routine inspection or cleaning. The air intake and exhaust pipes must
be installed in the correct locations on the top of the E30I.
