Install the Outside Air Adaptor
The optional #1891 Outside Air Adaptor provides a collar to which a 3 inch diameter air duct may be attached directly to the air inlet area at the back of the stove. This option can be installed in two different configurations, with Rear Heat Shield #1893 and without the heat shield.
With Rear Heat Shield
1.Engage the Adaptor against the Air inlet opening in the Rear Heat Shield. Align clearance holes in the adaptor with pilot holes in the Rear Heat Shield as shown at the bottom of Figure 26.
2.Use two sheet metal screws provided in the kit to attach the Adaptor to the Rear Heat Shield at the aligned holes.
Without Rear Heat Shield
1.Facing the rear of the stove, loosen the pan head screw located a the upper left hand corner of the primary air inlet two revolutions. Position the Adaptor over the air inlet opening in the rear of the stove with the pan head screw passing through the slotted tab in the Standoff. Make certain that the damper tab is located between the stove and the standoff and is oriented as it was before the screw was loosened. Tighten the pan head screw using the access hole in the standoff. The Thermostat and Primary Air Flap should operate freely.
2.Engage the Adaptor against the air inlet opening in the Outside Air Standoff. Align clearance holes in the adaptor with pilot holes in the Standoff as shown at the top of Figure 26.
