    VENTING NOTE: THIS STOVE IS A DIRECT VENT HEATER. ALL COMBUSTION AIR MUST COME DIRECTLY FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING. THE VENT PIPE FOR THIS UNIT CONSISTS OF AN INNER AND AN OUTER PIPE. THE INNER PIPE CARRIES THE STOVE EXHAUST OUT OF THE SYSTEM, AND THE OUTER PIPE BRINGS FRESH COMBUSTION AIR INTO THE STOVE.
