OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake (4FAK) which is necessary for a mobile
home. This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems. You
can purchase this option through your heater dealer. Make sure to specify the part number mentioned in this
booklet. Installation instructions are supplied with the air intake kit.
Outside combustion air may be required if:
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll-out occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or
not there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate
properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has any powered
devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
Slide the hose clamp over the aluminium flex pipe. Then slide the flex pipe over the air intake tube of the stove.
Next tighten the hose clamp over the end of the aluminium flex hose.
