Inglenook Fireplace has not been tested for a Central forced air kit and should not be used in such applications.
7.Use only Country Flame approved grills and components as described in the kit and specifications sections of this manual.
8.Do not use insulated flexible ducts with the Inglenook Fireplace. Use of these materials can create a situation that overheats these materials and creates a hazardous situation.
9.Do not use tees or any other components other than the ones specifically listed in this manual.
10.All ducts must extend upwards or horizontally. Never try to route the ducting downward.
11.The hot air outlet grills must be installed with the louvers pointing downwards in order to prevent overheating adjacent ceilings.
OUTSIDE AIR KIT
During operation, the Inglenook Fireplace requires fresh outside air to be drawn into the combustion chamber while hot exhaust gases are removed via the chimney system. If fresh air is not available in proper quantity, the Inglenook fire may starve out or pull enough air from inside the house (if the fireplace doors are open) causing other fuel burning appliances to go out. Any operating Exhaust fan will also compete for air that may lead to negative pressure in the house. This can result in smoke entering the house from the fireplace. This situation has become more likely as modern house construction has improved air tightness. To minimize this problem, the Inglenook Fireplace requires the installation of an outside air duct system.
The fresh outside air duct system must be installed according to the following requirements, See Figure 19 for example installations:
1.The fresh outside air duct length should be kept to a minimum length. The maximum length of the fresh outside air duct is 40 feet with a
2.The fresh outside air duct must come from outside the house. This means installation in the attic, basement or garage is incorrect and will void the warranty as well as create a hazardous operating condition.
3.The fresh outside air duct intake register should be installed where it will not become obstructed or blocked by snow or exposed to extreme wind. In addition, remember that this system is meant to pull fresh air from outside the house. Ensure that it is kept away from automobile exhaust fumes, gas meters, or other home vents that might contaminate incoming fresh air to the Inglenook Fireplace.
4.The fresh outside air duct and register may be installed above or below floor level.
