FREESTANDING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (Continued)
6. Outside Air (Available with Pedestal or Outside Air Boot and Legs)
The outside air option allows the stove to use outside air for combustion instead of room air. This is a
requirement for mobile home installations. Both the outside air boot and pedestal (with outside air
installed) work in the same fashion. Instead of having the air enter through the air intake under the ashlip,
the outside air option re-routes the air intake so the air is drawn from outside. This section will address
the special installation factors that must be considered when installing this model of stove with outside air.
THE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE OUTSIDE AIR BOOT AND
PEDESTAL WITH OUTSIDE AIR ARE INCLUDED WITH THOSE KITS AND MUST BE READ
PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE STOVE.
The most important factor that must be
considered when installing outside air with
your stove is placement. Make detailed
plans to determine the precise location for
your stove. When installing the outside air
option there are two placement
considerations that must be addressed
simultaneously. They are:
1.
Does the stove line up with the flue in the
right location, avoiding structural
members of the roof?
2.
Does the hole that is cut in the floor and
hearth for the outside air avoid all
structural members of the floor?
These two questions must be considered in
determining the final location for the stove.
To determine the size, shape, and location of
the hole in the hearth and floor, refer to the
directions included with the outside air boot
or pedestal. To determine the size and
location of the hole in the roof, refer to the
directions included with the chimney being
used and the location of the flue collar in the
section "FREESTANDING INSTALLATION -
SPECIFICATIONS"
See the illustration to the right.

Remove this knock-out for the
outside air connection.
Do not remove.
These knock-outs
are for the universal rear blower.
After the precise location
of the stove is determined,
the outside air boot or
pedestal with outside air
should be installed prior to
installing the stove.
Follow the directions
included with the outside
air boot or pedestal. Make
sure to remove the correct
knock-out for the outside
air option. See the
illustration to the left.
