Installation
Assembly
Blower (optional)
Bolt the mounting plate to the bottom rear of the
stove with four 1/4-20 bolts. Put the blower in place on the
bracket and bolt fast. Tighten the bolts, but do not over-
tighten.
The power cord for the blower must be connected
to a grounded outlet, and may not be routed above, under,
over or around the stove itself.
Outside Air (optional)
The Exception is designed to accommodate the
use of outside air introduced directly to the stove. The
opening is located at the back of the stove behind the
pedestal. An outside air connector plate attaches over
this opening, using two 1/4-20 x 1/2"” hex head bolts.
Outside air is always required when installing the
Exception in a mobile home, and is required for every in-
stallation by certain local building codes. Check with your
local building inspector to find out requirements. Some
signs to watch for that indicate a possible need for outside
air: poor performance of other heaters or of the Exception,
including smoke roll-out and odor; the disappearance of
the same symptoms when a window is opened near the
stove; and condensation on windows in the winter. Mod-
ern homes with tight windows and doors, vapor barriers,
and particularly with exhaust systems are the most likely
to require outside air.
An outside air duct less than 5' (1525 mm) long
may be 3" [80mm] in diameter, and be made of masonry
tile, 26 gauge (0.019)galvanized steel, or other noncom-
bustible material; it should have a 1" (25 mm) clearance to
combustibles. Systems longer than 5' (1525 mm), or con-
taining more than two elbows, should have a 4" (100 mm)
diameter duct to provide an adequate flow of combustion
air. Any system must have a damper that is capable of
fully closing. The air duct must terminate outside the dwell-
ing and be screened to keep debris, birds or animals out.
