This appliance has not been designed to be operated in a negatively pressurized room. Provide adequate
air for combustion.
The stove’s combustion system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive
chimney pressure. It is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The viewing
door and Hopper Lid must be closed securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove
Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. Creosote may be created on deposited inside your stove and
chimney liner. A periodic check is recommended to ensure proper combustion air is admitted to the com-
bustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air (with the stove's damper) is required after installation.
Minor adjustments can also be made on the controls.
The combustion air inlet for this stove is drawn through a pipe inside the rear of the stove. Air can be pro-
vided by the room the stove is installed in or by connection to outside of the house.
•
Room air: The room must be well ventilated - In well insulated/air tight homes, a lack of air for combus-
tion can be easily be caused by many common household appliances which exhaust air from the home
(such as a furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, fireplaces, and other fuel
burning appliances).
•
Outside air: A 2”(51mm) id. non-combustible flexible or rigid pipe can be attached between the stove’s
air intake and the outside through the fireplace's ash dump. This will greatly reduce the risk, but may not
eliminate the problem if the home has a problem with extreme negative pressure.
Pacific Energy Fireplace Products Ltd. accepts no liability for damages resulting from negative pressures
