Ventilation & Eciency
Ventilation
EcoSmart Fires do not require any form of permanent xture or tting,
such as a ue for ventilation, a permanent connection or any kind of
xed utility for fuel supply.
Do not cover any existing ventilation systems or structures that are
built or installed within the chosen installation area.
To ensure adequate ventilation, make sure to follow the guidelines in
the table shown.
Underwriters Laboratories calculates adequate air exchange as follows:
In a house of typical construction, that is, one that is not of unusually
tight construction due to heavy insulation and tight seals against air
inltration, an adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation is
provided through inltration. However, if the Burner is used in a small
room where less than 5.7m
3
[200ft
3
] of air space is provided for each
1000 BTU per hour of appliance rating (considering the maximum Burner
setting), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should be kept open or a window
to the outside should be opened at least 25.4mm [1in] to guard against
potential build up of indoor air pollution. Do not install or operate in a
bathroom or any other small room.
The ventilation requirements must always be met. The burner must only
be installed in areas that are protected from the draft eects of cross
ventilation.
