North Star

EPA Certified Fireplace

The North Star Fireplace requires a minimum flue draft of -0.10 inches of water column on High, and -0.04 inches

of water column on Low, as measured with a draft meter. Most dealers have draft meters available to measure your

flue draft if you suspect a problem.

If the fire is difficult to start, and smoke spills out of the door, or you find it hard to establish and maintain a moderately high

burn rate, then the flue draft is too low and corrective measures must be taken.

The outside air kit is installed on the right hand side of the fireplace.

Cut a 6" hole in outside wall to accommodate outside air

piping.

Use 6" metal flex or rigid piping (not supplied) to directly

connect outside air to fireplace intake. Secure with hose

clamp.

Use the supplied termination cap with a rodent screen.

Seal between the wall and the pipe with silicone to prevent

moisture penetration.

NOTE: A control knob allows you control of the outside air inlet.

Use of outside air for combustion is required to conserve heated

air within the structure and to provide make up air to keep the

fireplace venting properly.

IMPORTANT!!

OUTSIDE AIR MUST BE IN OPEN POSITION TO OPERATE FIREPLACE PROPERLY
