entering around doors and windows will still profit from the provision of a separate air supply as, properly placed,
this will stop or reduce cold draughts.
DO NOT set a ventilation grille in the hearth immediately in front of the fire. The cold air entering the room will
form a cold ‘curtain’ in front of the fire and may destroy the convection of warm air around the room.
DO NOT place an air supply inlet across the room from the fire. The draught of cold air crossing the room will
scour the room of warm air and the overall heating effect of the fire will be reduced.
DO NOT set a ventilation grille in a position where they may become liable to blockage.
Where the floor is solid, vents need to be provided through the walls in a manner, which achieves conditions as
close as possible to the above, perhaps, by use of ducting or false skirting.
When bringing in the air supply consideration should be given to any regulations that would effect the position of
any ducting or ventilation grilles.

Air Supplied from External Source
The primary air can be taken from an external source from outside the building.
There is a knockout circular hole on the back of the outer box that will allow a flexible air pipe to be pushed
through the back of the outer box and over the air chamber pipe attached to the inner firebox.
With this in place the flexible pipe can be fed through the wall or floor to an external air source. An open grille
maybe attached to the end of the flexible pipe to stop debris from blocking the pipe. Ensure that the grille does
not restrict the air supply. The air requirements are listed in the data table on page 5.
