Protection
This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind,
barometric pressure, topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust
fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries can not be
responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance.
