WARNING: This appliance has been designed to draw room air for proper heat circulation
from the sides 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 E44 must be between 15ft (4.5 m) and 40ft (12 m).
This model is vented with a 3” intake and a 3” exhaust aluminum or stainless steel approved 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 E44.
