A. Outside Air Kit Installation
A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion to take place. Whatever combustion air is consumed by the fire must be replaced. Air is replaced via air leakage around win- dows and under doors. In homes that have tightly sealed doors and windows, an outside air source is needed. An optional Out- side Air Kit is available.
Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)
•4 inch flex aluminum pipe, or if using alternate material, then it shall be made from durable,
•Phillips head screw driver
•Silicone sealant
Option One - Installation Instructions
The rectangular outside air cover comes packaged with the side panels. It is necessary to remove the right side panel and block off the room air with the rectangular ouside air cover.
1.Remove the outside air cover plate on outer can and discard.
2.Install optional flex adapter to outer can with the same screws. Do not use plastic wire ties that come with the kit as they will melt. NOTE: You may need to install the flex pipe into the firebox first depending on installation. Attach flex to adapater with at least 2 screws.
3.Ensure existing access hole in fireplace is sufficient to feed the 4 inch flex.
4.After sliding can into fireplace, feed flex into cut opening to obtain outside combustion air.
5.Level outer can and install appliance. See page 40.
6.Sanp the cover plates on the 2 side panels to block off room air. Figure 39.1.
Option Two - Installation Instructions

3.Repeat steps 5 and 6 above with one exception. After install- ing the appliance in the outer can, seal the fireplace opening and trim package with insulation to prevent air leakage into the room.
