Appliance Set-up
A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for
combustion to take place. Whatever combustion air is
consumed by the fire must be replaced. Air is replaced via
air leakage around windows and under doors. In homes
that have tightly sealed doors and windows, an outside
air source is needed. An optional Outside Air system is
available.
