OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your DROLET stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake 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
DROLET dealer. Make sure to specify this part number: #AC02080. Installation
instructions are supplied with the air intake kit.
Outside combustion air may be required if:
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollout 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 vapour 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.
