OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your wood 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 heater dealer. Make sure to specify the part number mentioned in this
booklet. Installation instructions are supplied with the air intake kit.
Outside combustion air may be required if :
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll out occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether
or not there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-red equipment in the house, such as replaces 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 vapor barrier and tight tting 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.
