Outside Air Through
Rear of Pedestal
Remove the blanking plate from the rear of the
pedestal cover plate and bend the two tabs
out 90 degrees. Pipe fresh air into the pedestal
area by using duct pipe with a mesh grill at the
outside termination. Attach the pipe to the tabs
with screws.
OPTIONAL
OUTSIDE AIR
Outside air for combustion can be brought in
either through the bottom of the pedestal or
through the rear plate of the pedestal.
For both bottom and rear "outside air" the Ped-
estal Cover Plate must be installed. Loosen the 4
screws on the rear of the pedestal and slide the
cover plate over them. Slide the plate to the left
to center it and tighten down the 4 screws.
Outside Air Through
Pedestal Bottom
Once you have properly marked the position of
your unit as outlined in "General Information"
and "Clearances to Combustibles", cut a prop-
erly sized hole though the fl oor directly under
your pedestal base to the outside. Pipe fresh
air into the pedestal area by using appropriate
metallic duct pipe with a mesh grill at the outside
termination. Do not remove the knockout.
INSTALLATION
CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances listed below are MINIMUM
distances. Measure the clearance to both the
appliance and the chimney connector. (The
farthest distance is correct if the two clear-
ances do not coincide.) For example, if the
appliance is set as indicated in one of the fi gures
but the connector is too close, move the stove
until the correct clearance to the connector is
obtained.
This unit can be installed on a solid combustible
surface like a wood fl oor. This unit can also be
installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when
the bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with
unit) is installed.
This appliance may be installed only with the
clearances as shown in the situations pictured.
Do not combine clearances from one type of
installation with another in order to achieve
closer clearances.
Use the minimum clearances shown in the dia-
grams below for installation with "B" vent.
Minimum ceiling height is 36" / 914 mm from
top of unit.
6) Test Gas Pressure. Refer to the "Gas Pipe
Pressure Testing" section.
