OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY
(OPTIONAL, UNLESS
INSTALLING IN A MOBILE HOME / TRANSPORTABLE BUILDING)
Depending on your location and home construction,
outside air may be necessary for optimal performance.
Your stove is approved to be installed with an outside air
intake (69FAK) which is necessary for a mobile home /
transportable building. You can purchase the 69FAK
through your heater dealer. Installation instructions are
supplied with the air intake kit.
ATTENTION:
DO NOT VENT UNDER ANY PORCH, DECK,
AWNING, OR IN ANY SEMI ENCLOSED OR
ROOFED AREA. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN
UNPREDICTABLE AIRFLOW AT THE VENT CAP
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND CAN AFFECT
THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR STOVE, AS WELL
AS, OTHER UNFORESEEABLE ISSUES.
SECURING APPLIANCE TO THE FLOOR
Use the designated holes to secure the unit to the floor.

WARNING! DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM.
CAUTION! THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
MOBILE HOME / TRANSPORTABLE BUILDING
FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE
MAINTAINED.
WHEN INSTALLED IN A MOBILE HOME /
TRANSPORTABLE BUILDING, THE STOVE MUST
BE GROUNDED DIRECTLY TO THE STEEL CHASSIS
AND BOLTED TO THE FLOOR.
In addition to the previously detailed installation
requirements, mobile home / transportable building
installations must meet the following requirements:
• This stove must be securely fastened to the floor of
the mobile home / transportable building through the
two holes in the rear of the stove using 2, 1/4” lag bolts
that are long enough to go through both a hearth pad, if
used, and the floor of the home.
• The heater must be electrically grounded to the steel
chassis of the mobile home / transportable building
with 8 GA copper wire using a serrated or star washer
to penetrate paint or protective coating to ensure
grounding.
• Vent must be 3 or 4-inch “PL” Vent and must extend
a minimum or 36” (914 mm) above the roof line of
the mobile home / transportable building and must be
installed using a certified ceiling fire stop and rain cap.
• When moving your mobile home / transportable
building, all exterior venting must be removed while the
mobile home / transportable building is being relocated.
After relocation, all venting must be reinstalled and
securely fastened.
• Outside Air is mandatory for mobile home /
transportable building installation. See Outside Air
Supply section and your dealer for purchasing.
• Check with your local building officials as other codes
may apply.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
• INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY
THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
• DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT
SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR STOVE.
• DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE
EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
The following installation guidelines must be followed
to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of this
stove and to local building codes. Do not use makeshift
methods or compromise in the installation.
IMPORTANT:
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A NEGATIVE DRAFT
SYSTEM THAT PULLS AIR THROUGH THE BURN
POT AND PUSHES THE EXHAUST OUT OF THE
DWELLING. IF THIS UNIT IS CONNECTED TO A FLUE
SYSTEM OTHER THAN THE WAY EXPLAINED IN
THIS MANUAL, IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
MAXIMUM VENTING DISTANCE
Installation MUST include at least 3-feet of vertical pipe
outside the home. This will create some natural draft to
reduce the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance
shutdown and keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or
hazard by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures.
