•Keep duct runs short and straight to minimize restriction. A small dip is acceptable for a cold air trap.

•The outside air kit must be installed on the left hand side of the fireplace.

•Locate the air inlet in a clear area, preferably into prevailing wind during the heating season. Refer to Figure 5.2.

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

•The air duct may be run vertically.
