Combustion Air - Pacific energy ALT 1.2 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

• If the chimney connector exits the mobile home less then 7 feet above the ground then a guard must be installed to
cover the connector up to a height of 7 feet (2.13m).
• The guard must not have any opening larger than 3/8"(10mm) and must maintain a space of 4" (102mm) minimum
around the chimney connector.
• Attach stove to flooring using two 1/4" x 2" or longer lag screws through the holes in the legs for the levelling bolts.
The unit must have adequate air for combustion provided in the room the unit is installed in. Consult your local building
code or CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment before proceeding
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways.
1. Outside air supply - (Required for mobile home installation, optional for residential installation.) Outside air is
drawn from underneath the stove.
Attach the 3" intake starter kit to the bottom of the intake box enclosure (Figure 19)
To draw outside air through the floor, cut or drill a 3-1/4"(83mm) diameter hole directly below the bottom hole of
the Intake Starter. Connect intake starter to the floor with a short 3"(102mm) diameter pipe.
This hole must get its air from a ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to the outdoors (Figure 16 and
Figure 17) . The use of outside combustion air for residential installation requires the unit to be secured to the
structure to prevent dislodging of the air duct.
To draw outside air from behind the stove, Cut or drill a 3"(102mm) hole through a wall behind the unit. Use an
appropriate household 3 or 4"(102mm) inlet. Connect the non combustible inlet vent pipe to the inlet on the
bottom of the Stove
2. Room air supply - . The stove comes from the factory drawing its air from the room, through the opening on the
bottom of the Intake Box enclosure
Note: The living space around the heater must be well ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may cause a
negative pressure can cause gases or fumes to be pulled into the living area. During extremely cold weather,
and especially when burning at very slow rates, the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up, partially
blocking the flue gases. If blockage occurs, flue gases may enter living space.
Note: This unit is not designed to be operated with the firing door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of
sparks landing on combustibles, an open fire door will cause the heater to draw air from the living space
and possibly cause suffocation.
