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 fire
must be replaced. Air is replaced via air leakage around win-
dows and under doors. In homes that have tightly sealed doors
and windows, an outside air source is needed. An optional Out-
side Air Kit is available.
Items Needed for Installation (not supplied)
• Phillips head screw driver
• Silicone sealant
• (Optional Outside Air Kit) 4 inch flex aluminum pipe, or if
using alternate material, then it shall be made from durable,
non-combustible, heat resistant material up to 350
the pipe to the required length for your installation.
Option One - Installation Instructions
The rectangular outside air cover comes packaged with the side
panels. It is necessary to remove the right side panel and block
off the room air with the rectangular ouside air cover.
1. Remove the outside air cover plate on outer can and discard.
2. Install optional flex 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 flex pipe
into the firebox first depending on installation. Attach flex to
adapater with at least 2 screws.
3. Ensure existing access hole in fireplace is sufficient to feed
the 4 inch flex.
4. After sliding can into fireplace, feed flex into cut opening to
obtain outside combustion air.
5. Level outer can and install appliance. See page 40.
6. Snap the cover plates on the 2 side panels to block off room
air. Figure 38.1.
Option Two - Installation Instructions
1. Remove the outside air cover plate on outer can and discard
and reuse the 4 screws
2. Ensure existing acces hole in fireplace 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 and 6 above with one exception. After install-
ing the appliance in the outer can, seal the fireplace opening
and trim package with insulation to prevent air leakage into
the room.

F. Cut
Asphyxiation Risk.
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent block-
age from:
• Leaves, snow, ice or other debris
Block may cause combustion air starvation
Smoke spillage may set off alarms or irritate sensi-
tive individuals.
Asphyxiation Risk.
Length of outside air supply duct shall NOT exceed
the length of the vertical height of the exhaust flue.
• Fire will not burn properly
• Smoke spillage occurs when door is opened due
