A. Install the Outside Air Kit
This fi replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fi replace system.
See Section 2.
The outside air kit is supplied with this fi replace and its use
is highly recommended to minimize the effects of negative
pressure within the structure. We recommend you utilize the
shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the outside
air kit. Cold air fl ow can be minimized by putting a small dip
in the duct creating a cold air trap. This trap can also help
prevent heat build-up and exhausting out the intake due to
the stack effect. The outside air kit inlet should be positioned
in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block
the inlet. In some installations the air duct may need to be
run vertically. In such an installation, a 3 ft (.914 m) height
difference must be maintained from the top of the upper-
most chimney section to the outside combustion air inlet.
See Figure 4.2.
See Figure 4.3 for proper placement of outside air inlet.
The outside air kit is installed on the left hand side of the
fi replace. See Figure 4.4 for handle location/operation.
Risk of Smoke Spillage
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent blockage
from:
• Leaves
• Snow/ice
• Other debris
Blockage may cause combustion air starvation.
CAUTION
Sharp Edges
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses
during installation.
