Install Guide
2 Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety
• Convenience
• Trafc ow
• Chimney and chimney connector required
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact
measurements for clearances and oor protection, before
actually beginning the installation. If you are not using an
existing chimney, place the appliance where there will be a
clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the
ceiling and roof.
We recommend that a qualied building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after installation.
If this appliance is in an area where children may be near it is
recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier to go
in front of the appliance. Remember to always keep children
away while it is operating and do not let anyone operate
this appliance unless they are familiar with these operating
instructions.
WARNING
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIM-
NEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.

gest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water
appliances and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
• Install optional outside air kit with the intake facing
prevailing winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances
and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams
taped or sealed
• Basement installations should be avoided
WARNING
• Negative pressure can cause spillage of com-
bustion fumes, soot and carbon monoxide.
• Appliance needs to draft properly for safety.

A. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in Figure 13.1 the chimney should:
• Install through the warm space enclosed by the build-
ing envelope. This helps to produce more draft, espe-
cially during lighting and die down of the re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.
• Consider the appliance location in order to avoid oor
and ceiling attic joists and rafters.
• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and
can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will
easily correct your ue problem.
