A. Installing Outside Air Kit Damper Assembly
This appliance will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the system.
An outside air kit is available as an optional feature with this
appliance. An outside air kit helps to decrease the amount
of room air taken by utilizing outside air for combustion. We
strongly recommend that it be installed.
• The outside air kit can only be installed on the left side of
the appliance.
• Refer to the installation instructions provided with the
kit.
