•Install as shown in Figures 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5.

•The outside air hood must be at least 3 ft (.91 m) below the top of the uppermost chimney section.

CAUTION! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! DO NOT draw outside combustion air from wall, floor or ceiling cavity, or enclosed spaces such as an attic or garage.
