  • Page 5: Installation

    INSTALLATION LOCATION The space for the location of your Newport heater must be large enough to provide the required clearances (see installation diagrams - Pages 2 and 3). It must be lined with high density, heat retardant insulation and finished with a light gauge metal, preferably stainless steel. Particular care must be taken to protect the surfaces close to the edge of the top cooking surface and the chimney stack.
  • Page 6 FLUE CAP The Dickinson DP or H style flue caps are recommended. The location of the flue cap above deck must be clear of any immediate obstruction that may cause unusual air movement or turbulence. CAUTION : The Flue Cap gets hot when the stove is operating.

  • Page 10: Combustion Air

    COMBUSTION AIR To guarantee that sufficient oxygen (fresh air) is available for your stove, GOOD VENTILATION IS ESSENTIAL. It is necessary to replace the air inside your boat at the same rate that the stove is removing it. THE HOTTER THE HEATER THE MORE AIR IT WILL REQUIRE. As most boats are relatively air tight a SEPARATE, PERMANENTLY OPEN, FRESH AIR INLET IS RECOMMENDED.

Causes of burner FLOODING : Fuel entering the burner faster than it is burning. Increasing the fuel supply too quickly without use of the combustion assist fan.
