WARNING:
This appliance has been designed to operate by drawing combustion air and dilution air
from the room. It is also designed to draw room air for proper heat circulation from the sides of the
unit. Blocking or modifying the louvers in any way can create hazardous situations, either through poor
venting or by overheating. It is important that this unit has sufficient air circulation for proper venting
and combustion. Provisions must be made for the supply of adequate combustion and ventilation air.
These openings must not be blocked. The appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue servicing
a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
Note:
this heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This heater is equipped with a vent
safety shutoff system designed to protect against improper venting of combustion products. This safety
switch is located on the rear of the appliance close to the draft hood relief opening. If the switch trips
more than once, the venting should be inspected by a qualified service technician for possible blockage
or severe down draft conditions.
NOTE:
The draft hood must be in the same pressure zone as the air inlet. To inspect draft from the
front of the unit, locate the 3⁄8” tube between the louvers and check for a draft using smoke. A vacuum
or suction into the tube will indicate proper drafting.
This model can be vented with 3” aluminum or stainless steel flex vent and/or certified Type B Gas Vent.
The flue collar of the appliance will fit inside a standard 3” vent and may be fastened directly to the
vent.
Check periodically that the vent is unrestricted and an adequate draft is present when the unit is in
operation.

WARNING
: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly installed and maintained
venting system can result in Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
Figure 7. Accent 20 Installed.
The Enviro ACCENT 20 may be installed and vented into any solid fuel fireplace
that has been installed in accordance with the National, Provincial/State and
local building codes and has been constructed of non-combustible materials.
An approved full length of chimney liner and rain cap must be used. A
throat connector or flashing
must
be installed to ensure a tight seal for
top performance, safety and efficiency. Carefully follow the manufacturers
instructions that accompany the chimney liner kit.
Install sealed throat connector or flashing to prevent leakage of room air up
through chimney.
Measure the height of the chimney beforehand and purchase the appropriate
kit. Never attempt to over stretch a flexible liner to accommodate the height
of the chimney.
Make sure that all chimney clean outs are tightly fitting and will not permit air
to leak into the chimney.
The chimney must be clean, in good working order and constructed out of
non-combustible materials. Any flue damper must be removed or blocked
permanently in the open position.
