OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
Your wood stove is approved to be installed with
an outside air intake (4FAK) which is necessary
for a mobile home. This type of installation is
also required in air tight houses and houses with
negative pressure problems. You can purchase this
option through your heater dealer. Make sure to
specify the part number mentioned in this booklet.
Installation instructions are supplied with the air
intake kit. Outside combustion air may be required
if
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke roll-out
occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur
whether or not there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-red equipment in the house, such
as replaces or other heating appliances, smell,
do not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out
when opened, or back-drafts occur whether or
not there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless)
day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor
barrier and tight tting windows and/or has any
powered devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in
the winter.
