Appliance Set-Up

A. Outside Air Kit Installation
A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion
to take place. Whatever combustion air is consumed by the
fi re must be replaced. Air is replaced via air leakage around
windows and under doors. In homes that have tightly sealed
doors and windows, an outside air source is needed. An optional
Outside Air Kit is available.
Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)
• 4 inch fl ex aluminum pipe, or if using alternate material,
then it shall be made from durable, non-combustible, heat
resistant material up to 350
length for your installation.
• Phillips head screw driver
• 5/32 Allen Wrench
• Silicone sealant
Option One - Installation Instructions
The outside air cover comes packaged with the component
pack. It is necessary to remove the blower housing and block
off the room air with the outside air cover.
1. Remove the appliance cover plate on outer can and discard
and reuse the 4 screws.
2. Install optional fl ex adapter to outer can with the same
screws. Do not use plastic wire ties that come with the kit
as they will melt. NOTE: You may need to install the fl ex
pipe into the fi rebox fi rst depending on installation. Attach
fl ex to adapter with at least 2 screws.
3. Ensure existing access hole in fi replace is suffi cient to feed
the 4 inch fl ex.
4. After sliding can into fi replace, feed fl ex into cut opening to
obtain outside combustion air.
5. Level outer can and install appliance. See page 20.
6. Remove 4 bolts from both sides of the blower housing and
remove the housing.
7. Remove 2 Phillips head screws from housing and save.
8. Attach outside air cover to the back of the blower using the
same 2 screws.
9. Ensure all wires are properly attached and then re-install
the blower housing to the appliance.
Option Two - Installation Instructions
1. Remove the outside air cover plate on outer can and dis-
card and reuse the 4 screws
2. Ensure existing access hole in fi replace will not be covered
by the outer can. Existing outside air intake hole may be
under at the rear or side of outer can. Outside air may also
enter down existing chimney chase in some situations.
3. Repeat steps 5 through 9 above with one exception. After
installing the appliance in the outer can, seal the fi replace
opening and trim package with insulation to prevent air leak-
age into the room.
