Installation

COMBUSTION AIR

Make-up outside air must be provided to furnace for proper fuel combustion. This is provided by openings to outside of building. These openings shall have unobstructed areas not less than the areas of the flue pipe. See Figs. 25, 26, 27

IMPORTANT:

Outside air is needed to replace air used by the burner and wood combustion process. Outside air is required to replace air used for taking the by-products of combustion out the chimney. Outside air is needed to replace air expelled by kitchen or bathroom fans. It is also needed to replace air expelled by water heater chimneys or fans.

See Figs. 25, 26, 27

Failure to provide outside air to the furnace area will result in negative pressure, or vacuum, in the home. Smoke from the wood fire may not be drawn up the chimney. This causes creosote buildup and sometimes causes smoke to enter furnace room.

See Figs. 25, 26, 27

WARNING: You must provide for enough fresh air to assure proper combustion. The fire in the furnace uses oxygen and must have a continuous

supply. The air in a house contains only enough oxygen to supply the furnace for a short time. Outside air must enter the house to replace that used by the furnace.
