R EDGE 60 Pellet Fireplace B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors Vent Configurations To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-down conditions Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends: Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power Failure To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down conditions, it must be able to draft naturally without exhaust blower operation.
R EDGE 60 Pellet Fireplace C. Negative Pressure D. Draft WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces successfully. When a fireplace is drafting successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the chimney. Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the fireplace to operate properly. It can be strongest in lower levels of the house.
R EDGE 60 Pellet Fireplace E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection WARNING! RISK OF FIRE! CAUTION! • Only LISTED venting components may be used. • • NO OTHER vent components may be used. • DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
