IMPORTANT: Because of the high efficiency and low
flue gas temperatures of this appliance, it is important that
it be connected to a well-sealed and efficient venting system
which.is.capable.of.registering.a.negative.pressure.while.
the.stove.is.in.operation.
The most efficient venting systems are those that have a
minimum.number.of.bends.and.minimal.horizontal.runs.
