EXTERIOR AIR INTAKE
Since the FX 3000 has been approved for installation in mobile homes, it is equipped with an optional exterior intake. The procedure for installation of the exterior air intake is as follows:
A)Rear Wall Connection
Determine the position on the wall, cut out a 6" (152 mm) diameter hole, position the screen from outside and join the insulated duct from the screen to the attachment flange underneath the stove.
B)Floor Connection
Put a mark on the floor, at the center of the attachment flange underneath the stove.
Move the stove, and make a hole with a 6" (152 mm) inch radius around the center of the mark. Position the ventilation screen from outside and attach the insulated duct to the attachment flange underneath the stove.
NOTE: Spacing between the wall or the floor and the insulated duct will be sealed with silicone in order to insure continuity to the vapor barrier.
Then attach the unit to the floor using the two screws provided for this purpose.
AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM
In order to improve air circulation in the room where the wood stove is installed, certain options are available for specific stove models.
Blower: A variable
Thermodisc: Available on most models, the thermodisc is a sensor that connects to the blower`s electrical supply cord, and it will start the blower when the stove`s temperature reaches 120° F (49oC) and cut off power when the stove cools down below 100° F (37oC). Information regarding installation of the thermodisc is included with the device.
The blower system includes some particularities for specific stove models: For the Compak, CS1200, Little Sawman, ML, Nordic and RC, an adaptor is required in order to install the blower. That adaptor is included with the stove, when purchased.
