OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Combustion Air Kit
Use combustion air kit, Model FOAK-4 or
FOAK-4LD ( Figure 46 ), with these fireplace
systems. Refer to installation instructions
packed with the air kit for specific information.
Outside air drawn into the fireplace supplies air
to the fire for combustion. The outside air kit
must be installed before the fireplace is framed
and enclosed in the finished walls.
IMPORTANT: ALTHOUGH THE COMBUSTION
AIR KIT IS DESIGNATED AS AN OPTIONAL
ACCESSORY IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
THAT IT BE INSTALLED. DUE TO THE OPER-
ATING CHARACTERISTICS OF MULTI-OPEN
FIREPLACES, A PROPERLY INSTALLED
SOURCE OF OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR CAN
ENHANCE THE OPERATING PERFORMANCE
OF THE APPLIANCE. THE COMBUSTION AIR
KIT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE SAFE OP-
ERATION OF THE LS43ST.
There is a one-hand operated shut-off valve
located on each side of the fireplace opening
behind the screen. Refer to label for directions
of operation. The combustion air damper
should be fully open when the fireplace is in
operation and fully closed when the fireplace is
not in use to prevent outside air from entering
your home.
If additional length of duct is necessary,
purchase locally available 4 inch diameter
(12.5 in. ) Class 0 or Class 1 ducting. The
duct may extend up to 50' (15.2 m) in any
direction.

crawlspace not considered part of the living
area of the home.
