OPERATION GUIDELINES

supplied, this can cause a negative pressure in the home. When this happens, the house will draw in outside air from the cracks in the windows, down the fireplace flue or other locations of air leakage in the home. Because cold air infiltration may be unavoidable in some structures, Monessen Hearth Systems is not responsible for heat loss or air infiltration through or around the fireplace.
