It is recommended to test the listed

All components should be in good operating
condition before the appliance is installed.
1. Combustion air is brought into the
appliance through the slots and around
the glass door or through the screen.
2. An outside air damper regulates the
amount of outside air introduced to the
appliance to supplement indoor air and
can only be adjusted to either a fully
closed or fully open position.
3. Inside the firebox, combustion takes
place and exhausts out the chimney.
4. The appliance includes a flue damper
at the base of the chimney which shall
be closed when the appliance is not
in use to prevent cold air entering the
home, see "flue damper operation"
section.
The location of windows, doors and the
traffic flow in the room where the appliance
is to be located should be considered. If
possible, you should choose a location
where the chimney will pass through the
house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
