Safety and
Maintenance
NOTE:WE STRONGLY RECOMMENDTHAT SMOKE AND
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS BE INSTALLED IN
THE AREA WHERE THE HEATER IS TO BE INSTALLED.
If smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may
notice that they are operating more frequently. This may be
due to curing of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally
leaving the re door open. Do not disconnect the detectors.
1. Burn only, dry and well seasoned cord wood. The
denser or heavier the wood when dry, the greater its heat
value. This is why hardwoods are generally preferred.
Green or wet wood should not be used, it will reduce heat
output, as well as, contribute signicantly to creosote
buildup.
WARNING: NEVER USE CHEMICALS OR ANY OTHER
VOLATILE LIQUID TO START A FIRE. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS
GASOLINE,NAPHTHA,ORENGINEOIL. WESTRONGLY
RECOMMEND THAT SMOKE DETECTORS BE
INSTALLED.
2. Maintain a 1"(25mm) minimum ash base for best results.
The area where boost combustion air enters the rebox
must be kept clear of excessive ash buildup which will
block air ow. This area is at the front of the rebox.
Remove ashes if excess buildup occurs. Embers may roll
out of the rebox door opening and create a re hazard.
3. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor
wood, it can be cleaned with replace glass cleaner
when the replace is cold. Never scrape with an object
that might scratch the glass. The type and amount of
deposit on the glass is a good indication of the ue pipe
and chimney buildup. A light brown dusty deposit that is
easily wiped off usually indicates good combustion and
dry, well-seasoned wood and therefore relatively clean
pipes and chimney. On the other hand, a black greasy
deposit that is difcult to remove is a result of wet and
green wood and too slow a burning rate. This heavy
deposit is building up as quickly in the chimney.
4. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burning and
ring technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until
experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe.
WARNING: ONLYUSE MATERIALSAND COMPONENTS
SUPPLIED OR SPECIFIED BYMANUFACTURER WHEN
DOING MAINTENANCE OR REPLACEMENTS. DO NOT
USEAFIREPLACE INSERT OROTHERPRODUCTSNOT
SPECIFIED FOR USE WITH THIS FIREPLACE.
5. DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used by Pacic Energy
(3/4"(19mm) round high density breglass rope) requires
only light pressure to seal. This will prolong seal life. It
is important that the door seal be maintained in good
condition. Periodically inspect seals and replace if
necessary with WODC.NEODGKIT.
6. DOOR GLASS - Replacement glass can be obtained
from your dealer. Use 18”(457mm) x 10-1/4”(260mm) x
5 mm ceramic glass only.
WARNING: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE GLASS WITH ANY
OTHER TYPE MATERIAL OTHER THAN CERAMIC
GLASS
WARNING: DO NOT SLAM LOADING DOOR OR
OTHERWISE IMPACT GLASS. WHEN CLOSING DOOR,
MAKE SURE THAT NO LOGS PROTRUDE TO IMPACT
THE GLASS. IF THE GLASS GETS CRACKED OR
BROKEN, IT MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE USING
THE FIREPLACE.
WARNING: OVER FIRING THE APPLIANCE WILL
SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT. FAILURE
TO RECTIFY AN OVER FIRING CONDITION CAN BE
HAZARDOUS AND MAY VOID THE MANUFACTURER'S
WARRANTY.
To remove broken glass,remove the door gasket and clean out
the screw heads. Remove the screws that hold the retainers
and remove the retainers, noting position for re-assembly.
Remove all particles of glass . Be careful as they are very
sharp. Install new glass complete with gasket. Replace
retainers, screws and gasket.
CAUTION:
-DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN -TIGHTEN SCREWS HAND
TIGHT
- DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT
- DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON GLASS
7. Do not store wood within heater installation clearances, or
within the space required for fuel loading and ash removal.
Keep the area around the heater clean and free of loose
combustibles, furniture, newspapers, etc.
8. Be aware that the hotter the re, the less creosote is
deposited. Weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild
weather, even though monthly cleaning is usually enough
in the coldest months when burning rates are higher.
9. Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation
of the heater. Ensure they have enough knowledge of the
entire system if they are expected to operate it. Stress the
section on chimney res and the importance of following
the steps outlined "In Case of Chimney Fire".
10. Inspect and clean your chimney system at the beginning
of the burning season before your rst re and at least
every two months during the burning season. Inspect
the interior and exterior of the pipe for defects and/or
damage. Remove and inspect the rain cap. Refer to the
chimney system manufacturer's installation instructions
for the procedure to remove and or replace any necessary
components to the chimney system.
11. Maintain a distance of 48"(1.22m) to all combustible
materials in the room unless otherwise specidifed.

FP25.BODYA

Chimney Smoke and Creosote
Formation
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively
cool chimney ue of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot re. The chimney connector
and chimney should be inspected periodically (at least once
every two months) during the heating season to determine if
a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated
(3 mm. or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of
a chimney re.
1. The highest smoke densities and emissions occur when
a large amount of wood is added to a bed of hot coals
and the air inlet is closed. The heated wood generates
smoke, but without ample air, the smoke cannot burn.
Smoke-free, clean burning requires smaller fuel loads,
two or three logs at a time or 1/4 to 1/2 of fuel load and
leaving the air inlet relatively wide open, especially during
the rst 10 to 30 minutes after each loading, when most
of the smoke generating reactions are occurring. After 30
minutes or so, the air inlet can be turned down substantially
without excessive smoke generation. Wood coals create
very little creosote-producing smoke.
2. The cooler the surface over which the wood smoke is
passing, the more creosote will be condensed. Wet
or green wood contributes signicantly to creosote
formation as the excess moisture that is boiled off cools
the re, making it difcult for the tars and gases to ignite,
thus creating dense smoke and poor combustion. This
moisture-laden smoke cools the chimney, compounding
the problem by offering the smoke the ideal place to
condense.
In summary, a certain amount of creosote is inevitable
and must be lived with. Regular inspection and cleaning
is the solution. The use of dry, seasoned wood and ample
combustion air will help to minimize annoying smoke
emissions and creosote buildup.
Chimney Fires
The result of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney re.
Chimney res are dangerous. Temperatures inside the
chimney can exceed 2000° F(1093˚C). This causes much
higher than normal temperatures on its exterior surfaces.
Thus ignition of nearby or touching combustible material is
more likely during a chimney re. Proper clearances are
critical during such a re.
Chimney res are easy to detect; they usually involve one
or more of the following:
-Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chimney
-A roaring sound
-Vibration of the chimney
In the event of a Chimney Fire
1. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone's safety. Have
a well understood plan of action for evacuation. Have a
place outside where everyone is to meet.
2. Close air inlet on replace.
3. Call local re department. Have a re extinguisher handy.
Contact your local municipal or provincial re authority
for further information on how to handle a chimney re.
It is most important that you have a clearly understood
plan on how to handle a chimney re.
4. After the chimney re is out, the chimney system must be
cleaned and checked for damage before starting another
re. Have the system inspected by a certied installer
orchimneysweep.Also check combustibles around the
chimney and the roof.
Preventing a Chimney Fire
There are three things you can do to prevent chimney res:
1. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney
re is possible.
2. Do not have res in the heater that may ignite chimney
res. These are very hot res, such as when burning
household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or
even ordinary fuel wood; (e.g.. with a full load on a hot
bed of coals and with the air control open for long period
of time.)
3 Regular inspections and cleaning.
- The services of a competent or certied installer, (certied
by the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT) - in
Canada, Hearth Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in U.S.A.,)
are strongly recommended.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher
efciency and lower emissions generally result when burning
air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods
or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months
or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the re to smoulder
and produce large amounts of creosote. Wet wood also
produces very little heat and tends to go out often.
Do not burn anything but wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal,
can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless,
odourless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should
you attempt to barbecue in this heater.
How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the replace when it has a large
hot bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one
side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights
within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens without
igniting in ve minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt.

CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter uid or similar liquids to start or
"freshen up" a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids well
away from the heater while it is in use.
DO NOT BURN :
-Salt water wood * -Treated wood
-Wet or green wood -Coal/charcoal
-Garbage* -Solvents
-Lawn clippings/yard waste -Unseasonedwood
-Railroad ties -Manure or animal remains
-Materials containing rubber, including tires

-Materials containing asbestos
-Construction or demolition debris
-Paperproducts, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly
destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.
Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic
fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
The prohibition against burning these materials does not
prohibit the use of re starters made from paper, cardboard,
saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of
starting a re in an affected wood heater.
Your PACIFIC ENERGY heater is designed for maximum
overall efciency at a moderate ring rate. Over ring is
hazardous and a waste of fuel. Too slow a burn contributes
to creosote buildup and lowers combustion efciency.
NOTE: Left and Right as referred to in this manual are
considered your left and right when facing the front of the
replace.
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile
liquid to start a re.
1. Adjust the air control located under the ashshelf to
"High"(Full Left) position and open door.
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater
and crisscross with several pieces of dry kindling. Add
a few small pieces of dry wood on top.
3. Ignite the paper and close the door. (Depending on length
of chimney installation, you may need to leave door open
approximately 1/2"(13mm) until kindling is fully ignited.)
DO NOT LEAVE FIREPLACE UNATTENDED WHILE
DOOR IS OPEN.
4. After the re has established itself, open the door and
add a few small logs. Close door.
5. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and
wood has charred.
Curing of the Paint Finish/Insulation
To achieve the best nish, the paint on your replace must
be baked on. When burning your replace for the rst 2-3
times it is very important that the room be well ventilated.
Open all windows and doors. Smoke and fumes caused by
the curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
Normal Operation
WARNING: This wood heater has a manufacturer-set
minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is
against federal regulations to alter this setting or other-
wise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent
with the operating instructions in this manual.
1. Set the air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours
down across the glass (waterfall effect) this indicates you
have shut the control down too soon or you are using too
low a setting. The wide range control makes nding the
desired setting easy. As every home's heating needs vary,
(ie. insulation, windows, climate, etc.) the proper setting
can only be found by trial and error and should be noted
for future burns.
2. To refuel, adjust air control to "High"(Full Left) position,
and give the re time to brighten. Open the door slowly,
this will prevent back pufng.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length
(recommended 18”(457mm)). Load your wood and try
to place the logs so that the air can ow between them.
Always use dry wood.
4. Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that would
be hazardous when opening the door.
5. For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred.
Remember to char the wood completely on maximum
setting before adjusting the air control for an overnight
burn.
WARNING: Always keep the loading door closed when
burning. This heater is not designed for open door
burning. If unit is operated with the door open, gases
and ame may be drawn out of the replace opening
creating risks of both re and smoke.
WARNING: No alteration or modification of the
combustion air control assembly is permitted. Any
tamperingwillvoidwarrantyandcouldbeveryhazardous.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the
fuel. Burn directly on the re bricks. Replace broken or
missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous
condition.

Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight tting
lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed outside
on a non-combustible oor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending nal disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed
in this container.
Blower Operation
The blowers are wired with a thermo switch that will turn on
the blower automatically once the replace has reached an
appropriate operating temperature.
The blowers must be wired to a wall switch or fan speed
controller for manual control(not included). If a blower should
ever need to be replaced, power to the blowers can be shut
off at the switch during replacement.
Bafe Removal
DO NOT OPERATE WITH BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR
INSULATION REMOVED.
WARNING: AFTER YOU REMOVE THE BAFFLE,
ALWAYS COVER THE TOP OF THE BAFFLE AIR
TUBE LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THE FIREBOX.
THIS PREVENTS DEBRIS FALLING DOWN THE
TUBE. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN POOR
OPERATION AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO FIREPLACE
COMPONENTS.
Remove retaining pin located just beneath the bafe at the
rear inside top of the rebox. Lift bafe up and pull forward
to disconnect from the supply tube. Slide the bale to one
side and then tilt bafe sideways to drop down and remove
from rebox. To re-install the bafe, perform the removal
steps in the reverse order. Ensure that the two side pieces
of insulation are set tight against the bafe. If the insulation
is damaged during removal, it should be replaced.
Secondary Air Box Cleaning
1. The secondary air box access is located on the bottom
rear of the replace and can be accessed for cleaning by
removing the two bottom center bricks inside the replace
Fig. #1. This will expose the access cover.
Restarting After Extended or Overnight
Burns
1. Open door and rake any hot embers towards the front of
the heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of the
embers, close the door.
2. Adjust the air control to the "High" position (all the way
to the left) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin
burning.
3. After the wood has charred, reset the air control to the
desired setting.
4. To achieve the maximum ring rate, set the air control
to high. Do not use this setting other than for starting or
preheating fresh fuel loads.
Overring
Over ring can be caused by the following; operating the
unit with the door open, damage to door gaskets allowing
excess air to enter the rebox, the use of kiln dried lumber,
mill ends or paper waste and prolonged or continual use on
a high burn setting.
Heat Output Calculation
Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU's per pound.
The calculation is as follows:
Experience will give you the right settings for proper
combustion and efcient burning. Remember the correct air
inlet setting is affected by variables such as type of wood,
outside temperature, chimney size and weather conditions.
With practice, you will become procient in operating your
heater and will obtain the performance for which it was
designed.
Proper Draft
• Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors.
• Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in
the appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing red
replace part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
• Inadequate draft may cause back pufng into the room
and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the
room through appliance and chimney connector joints
indicates inadequate draft.
Ash Removal
Caution: Ashes are to be removed only when the heater
is cold. Whenever ashes get 3(76mm) to 4(102mm) inches
deep in your rebox, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash
bed approximately 1" (25 mm) deep on the rebox bottom
to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.

2. Remove the screws securing the access cover to the
rebox bottom. Inspect airbox for debris. If debris is
present, carefully use a vacum to suck debris through
the hole in the rebox bottom.
3. Replace the cover plate and the bricks.
Glass Cleaning
If glass becomes darkened due to poor burning conditions,
it can be cleaned with replace/ceramic glass cleaner when
the replace is cold. Never scrape with an object that might
scratch the glass. The type and amount of deposit on the
glass is a good indication of ue pipe and chimney buildup.
A light brown dusty deposit that is easily wiped off usually
indicates good combustion and dry, well-seasoned wood and
therefore relatively clean pipes and chimney. On the other
hand, a black greasy deposit that is difcult to remove is a
result of green wood or poor draft. NOTE: This heavy deposit
is building up just as quickly in the chimney.
Blower Replacement
1. Remove the surround front by lifting and pulling away
from the unit. Remove the four screws securing the back
surround to the brackets and set the surround aside care-
fully to avoid damage.

Locating The FP25 Fireplace
The best location to install your replace is determined by
considering the location of windows, doors, and the trafc
ow in the room where the FP25 Fireplace is located,
allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth extension
and the mantel, and taking into consideration the location
of the chimney. Ideally, you should choose a location
where the chimney will pass through the house without
cutting oor or roof joists.
Check the adequacy of the oor by rst estimating the
weight of the replace system(approx. 500lbs(227Kg)).
Next measure the area the replace will occupy. Note the
oor construction and consult your local building code to
determine if any additional support is needed. In most
cases, no additional oor support is needed for the FP25
replace.
The FP25 replace may be installed directly on a
combustible oor or on a raised base. A minimum of
84"(2.13m) measured from the base of the appliance or
38 3/4"(984mm) from the top of the unit to the ceiling is
required.
The FP25 replace may not be installed in a factory built
replace unless tested with the replace.
Wind direction and magnitude can play a factor in the
chimney performance. Therefore the chimney outlet
position is important when locating the replace
We recommend, whenever possible, that the chimney
should:
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof.
• Be installed as far as possible from roof offsets,
trees or any other obstructions that may cause wind
turbulence or back drafts in the chimney.
• Contain the fewest number of offsets (elbows)
possible.
Clearances
Clearances to combustible surfaces and materials are shown
on pages 11 & 16.
Clearances may be reduced with various heat insulating
materials. Consult local, National re codes and authorities
for approval.
Procedure:
Note: See "Combustion Air" section on page 17.

MANUFACTURERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GENERAL
GUIDELINES ONLY.
CAUTION:THESTRUCTURALINTEGRITYOFTHEFLOOR,
WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
NOTE: FOR ALL CHIMNEYS, YOU MUST USE THE
MANUFACTURER'S FIREPLACE ANCHOR PLATE. (If
using ICC chimney pipe and anchor plate, you will need
to install an Anchor Plate spacer. Part #FP30.7757)
NOTE: The FP25 must be installed so the outlet of the chimney
system is a minimum 15ft(4.6m) in height as measured from
the base of the unit up to a maximum height of 35'(10.7m).
The chimney must be supported on lengths over 20'(6.1m).
NOTE: Longer chimney lengths and different pitch ashings
may be used. Install all components to the chimney
manufacturer's installation requirements. Consult your
chimney supplier for installation advice.
1. After locating the desired location and framing in the
replace, cut and frame square holes in all oors, ceilings,
and roof that the chimney will pass through. Use a plumb
bob to line up the holes. The chimney support is mounted
to the framing.
2. Maintain a minimum 2"(51mm) clearance between the
chimney and any combustible materials. Do not ll the
space with insulation or any other combustible material.
3. Install the pipe manufacturer's, replace anchor plate
by inserting it into the ue collar on the replace. We
recommend sealing the joint with stove cement. Secure
the anchor plate with stainless steel screws.
4. Assemble the chimney sections so the nished length
is resting on the manufacturer's adapter and protruding
through the roof. Avoid having joints between the ceiling
and the roof. It is required that the chimney connections
be secured with three (3)-#8x½"(12 mm) metal screws.
5. Install the radiation shields, restops and all pieces
necessary to prevent contact with combustible materials
whenever passing through oors, ceilings or attic spaces.
6. Install the roof support then assemble the ashing and
the storm collar. Be sure to maintain the vapour barrier
at this point. (Seal securely.)
7. Attach the rain cap and check the ashing for leaks.
8. If the chimney extends more than 5'(1.5m) above the
point of contact with the roof, then it must be secured
using roof braces.
Chase/Enclosure
WARNING: Combustible materials cannot be used in the
space directly above the replace. Do not ll the space
above the replace with any material. (except the wood
framing)
WARNING: The replace must not be in contact with any
insulation or loose lling material. Cover the insulation
with drywall panels around the replace. Maintain proper
clearances as per Fig. #7.
WARNING: Drywall materials are considered combustible
and theIr thickness must be accounted for in your framing
dimensions.
If the chimney runs up the outside of the residence, we
recommend it be enclosed in a chase structure. The chase
should be constructed in such a way that it is an extension of
the home. It should be well insulated between the footings and
the oor of the home to prevent heat loss. We also recommend
to insulate the ceiling of the chase just as if it were in the attic
space. This will prevent cold air from dropping down through
the chase and into the room where the replace is installed.
Some local codes require that the walls be insulated, vapor
sealed and sheathed with a re rated gypsum board. We
strongly recommend this procedure for all installations to
prevent cold drafts from originating in the replace enclosure.
If you follow this procedure, do not insulate the wall directly
above the front of the replace.
NOTE: Check local codes concerning installation requirements
and restrictions in your area.
Mobile Home Installation:
- In the USA: the unit must be installed in accoradance with
the requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development(HUD)"Manufactured Home Construction
and Safety)
- In Canada: the unit must be installed with access openings
into the built in enclosure for inspection purposes that
must require a household tool to open.

Offsets
30° or 45°
ELBOWS
The chimney for the FP25 can be installed with a maximum
of four 45° elbows(in Canada) and four 30° elbows(in
U.S.A.) as shown in Fig. #10.
Installation:
1. NOTE: Install the rst elbow and turn it in the required
direction.
2. Install the necessary chimney lengths to achieve the
required offset. Lock the chimney lengths together
according to the chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
If the offset length is made of two (2) chimney lengths
or more, many chimney manufacturers may require that
you use an offset or roof support halfway up the offset. If
penetrating a wall, install a wall radiation shield supplied
by the chimney manufacturer and install according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Use another elbow to turn the chimney vertically and
secure the elbow.
4. Use a plumb bob to line up the centre of the hole with the
center of the ue collar on the replace. Cut a hole for the
chimney in the ceiling/oor. Frame the hole as described
on page 15.
5. Install a restop following the chimney manufacturer's
directions.
6. Follow the chimney manufacturer's guidelines for
supporting the offsets. Reminder - The chimney must be
supported after the rst 20'(6.1m).

Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the replace
in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning
Appliances and Equipment before proceeding.
1. Outside air supply - Outside air may be drawn through
either side of the unit by connecting 4"(102mm) rigid or
ex pipe onto the outside air adapter opening provided
on the either side of the combustion air box. The replace
comes with the outside air adapter factory installed on
the right side. You are able to switch this with the cover
plate on the left side if you so desire. (Fig. #11).
Installation:
Use an approved 4"(102mm) inlet vent cap. Cut or drill a
corresponding hole in the closest exterior wall or in the
oor anywhere inside the chase. Cover the hole with a
20GAwiremeshminimum, rodentscreenandstaple/
nailinplace. Provide water protection as required. Attach
4"(102mm) venting (not supplied).
A typical outside air connection is shown in Fig. #12.
WARNING: This hole must get its air from the outdoors
and be nished with an approved vent cap. The use of
outside combustion air for residential installations requires
that the replace be secured to the structure to prevent
dislodging of the air duct. Check local building codes for
instructions on sealing the vent cap at the penetration
point of the building. The combustion air inlet ducts can
not terminate in an attic space or garage.
2. Room Air Supply - The replace can draw its air from
the room through a space between the surround panels or
through air inlet ducts placed near the oor in the chase.
WARNING: This unit is not designed to be operated with
the ring door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of
sparks landing on combustibles, an open re door will
cause the heater to draw excess air from the living space
and possibly cause suffocation.
CAUTION: The living space around the heater must be
well ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that
may cause a negative pressure can cause gases or
fumes to be pulled into the living area. During extremely
cold weather, and especially when burning at very slow
rates, the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice
up, partially blocking the ue gases. If blockage occurs,
ue gases may enter living space.
