OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
WARNING:
ALWAYS CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A
CHIMNEY THAT VENTS TO THE OUTSIDE.
NEVER VENT INTO ANOTHER ROOM, CRAWL
SPACE, ATTIC, OR INSIDE A BUILDING. DO
NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Your appliance itself does not create draft. Draft
is provided by the chimney. To help provide the
required draft there is a fresh air kit (4FAK) available
for purchase from your local stove dealer. When
installed properly the 4FAK kit is designed to
provide the draft needed for proper operation. To
achieve proper draft your chimney must meet the
three minimum height requirements (see masonry
chimney section of this manual). A minimum draft
of 0.05 w.c. (measured in water column) is required
for proper drafting to prevent back pufng, smoke
