A storm or dryer type vent with a screen is adequate. For your convenience, an outside air kit
(part # 4OAVK) is available through your dealer.
If you are not installing this stove in a mobile home, and outside air is not desired, simply
remove the outside air cover at the stove back so ambient room air can enter. Please note that at
certain draft conditions (i.e. high winds) a significant amount of air may be needed to achieve a
proper burn. Consideration of open windows or an air source near the stove will probably be nec-
essary depending on the “air-tightness” of your home. Again, outside air to your oil stove is a
good idea as it will make the combustion impervious to house pressure problems.
Optional Arctic Convection Shell Installation Instructions
(Part# ARCS)
An optional convection shell may be purchased from your dealer. This shell provides two
functions: 1) Increased air flow. It provides a 3/4” jacket surrounding the sides and back of the
stove. The shell is vented at the bottom and top to promote convection air movement throughout
your home. 2) Decreased clearances. You will see in the clearance section of this manual that in-
stallation of this convection shell allows the Arctic to be installed considerably closer to
combustibles.
INSTALLATION:
1. Remove from the box and place the convection shell down over the stove from the top.
There are spacers welded inside that provide the correct rear and side spacing. Slide shell down
until it rests on the pedestal base then pull forward to ensure that the shell spacers are touching the
stove back.
2. Install the 4 self-drilling, self-tapping screws at the front of the side panels top and bot-
tom with a high speed drill and a #2 Phillips driver bit. Screw all four screws until snug, do not
over tighten.
3. Installation complete. Stow the label under the stove bottom after all clearances have
been checked. The top hinges up allowing exposure of the firebox top for cooking or warming.
*Please note that these clearances are minimums. It is a good idea to exceed these clearances
unless space is limited. Common sense must prevail. The clearances are listed on a label that is
attached to the stove by a lanyard. After installation the label may be stowed under the unit. DO
NOT REMOVE LABEL.
