Using Outside Air With The Pedestal; Rear Blower Installation - Lopi Answer Owner's Manual

Using Outside Air with the Pedestal

The pedestal kit includes all of the items necessary to route outside air to the stove from the floor.
Before installing, check the section "Outside Air Requirements" on page 9 for installation concerns. The
directions below outline the steps for installing outside air with a pedestal.
1. Before installing the stove or pedestal, determine the location of the outside air hole that
penetrates through the floor protection and floor. The illustration on the previous page details the
size of pedestal and its location in relation to the faceplate of the stove. The hole may be cut
anywhere underneath the pedestal, as long as it is not within 2" of the outside perimeter of the
pedestal, is at least 16 square inches in area, and does not interfere with structural members of
the home. Cut the hole when the correct location is determined. Place the screen over the hole
and secure it in place with the included staples. It can be attached above or below the floor.
2. Lift the stove and place a piece of wood along one side to keep it elevated. Use a screwdriver to
pry out the forward knock-out underneath the stove (it is 4" wide and 2" deep).
3. Place the pedestal in place. Tuck the insulation included with the pedestal underneath the side
edges of pedestal to seal off any air from entering underneath the pedestal.
4. Attach the cover plate to the front of the stove. Remove the two screws that hold the piece that
fits over the air control rod in place. Slide the air control plate in place underneath the air control
rod. Replace the piece removed from the cover plate. The cover plate should form an air-tight
seal against the air control portion of the stove (see the illustration below).

EAR LOWER NSTALLATION
The rear blower is designed to improve the natural convection of the stove by pushing air through the
convection chamber of the stove and causing the heated air to exit through the vents along the top of the
stove. It attaches underneath the stove at the rear and can not be used on inserts. Operating instructions
are described in the section "Blower Operation" on page 24. The directions below detail its installation.
1. Lift the stove and place a piece of wood along one side to keep it elevated. Use a screwdriver to
pry out the two rear knock-outs underneath the stove. They are located on the rear edge of the
stove and are each 4 1/4" wide.
2. Feed the two wires from the thermodisk assembly through the stove and out the left side knock-
out removed in step 1. Insert the thermodisk assembly into the left side convection channel
underneath the ashlip. The thermodisk should fit tight in the channel. If it does not, remove it
and bend the metal support down to insure a snug fit. Position the thermodisk so it is just behind
the support tab (see the illustration below).
These wires pass
through the left side
convection channel.
