4.OUTSIDE AIR KIT OPERATION

The outside air kit should be purchased with this appliance. The outside air kit helps to decrease the amount of room air taken, by utilizing outside air for combustion. It is strongly recommended that it be installed.

To operate the outside air kit, before starting the appliance, open the control access panel. Grasp the small, black handle located on the left side of the appliance, just below the glass retainer. See Figure 25. Lift the handle out of its slot and pull towards the front. The outside air door should open. Replace the handle back in the slot on the bracket from which it was removed (so the outside air door remains open) and close the control access panel. When through burning the appliance, open the panel, grasp the handle and push the outside air door closed.
