• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation.

A. Install the Outside Air Kit

This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila- tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace system. See Section 2.

Using an outside air kit must be used for combustion to mini- mize the effects of negative pressure within the structure. We recommend you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the outside air kit. The outside air kit inlet should be positioned in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In some installations the air duct may need to be run vertically. In such an installation, a 3 ft (914 mm) height difference must be maintained from the top of the uppermost chimney section to the outside com- bustion air inlet. See Figure 16.1 on page 16.

See Figure 16.2 on page 16 for proper placement of outside air inlet.

The outside air kit is installed on the right hand side of the fireplace. See Figure 15.1 for handle location/operation.

1.Cut a 6 in. (152 mm) hole in outside wall to accommodate air piping. The outside air is located on top, auxiliary convection air intake is located on the bottom. See Figure 15.1.

2.Use 6 in. (152 mm) metal flex or rigid piping (not supplied) to directly connect outside air to fireplace intake. Insulate the pipe to prevent frost condensation.

3.Use the supplied termination caps.

4.Seal between the wall and the pipe with silicone to prevent moisture penetration and air leaks.

5.Seal between the termination cap and the house with silicone to prevent air infiltration.

NOTE: A control knob allows you control of the outside air inlet. Use of outside air for combustion is required to conserve heated air within the structure and to provide make up air to keep the fireplace venting properly.

IMPORTANT!

TURN CLOCKWISE TO “OPEN” POSITION.

OUTSIDE AIR KNOB MUST BE IN THE “OPEN” POSI- TION TO OPERATE FIREPLACE PROPERLY.

MAY BE CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE TO PREVENT COLD AIR INFILTRATION.
