Outside Combustion Air - Country Hearth 2500L Owner's Operation And Instruction Manual

OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR

Your wood stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile home.
This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems. You
can purchase this option through your heater dealer. Make sure to specify the part number mentioned in this
booklet. Installation instructions are supplied with the air intake kit.

1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll out occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether
or not there is combustion present.

not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is
combustion present.
