United States Stove American Harvest 6039, Owner'S Manual

USSC

For installations with horizontal through-the-wall exhaust, it is strongly recommended that the stove combustion air be

connected to the outside.  If the home is newer or has been tightly insulated it is required to install outside combustion

air.

Connection to outside the house is REQUIRED for mobile home installations.  We strongly urge use of the 67FAK Fresh

Air Kit.

Only noncombustible pipe 2 inches (or greater) in diameter is approved to use for outside air connections (straight or

flexible).  PVC pipe is NOT approved and should NEVER be used.

If the air inlet is connected to the outside, it MUST be terminated with a vertical 90-degree bend (down) or with a wind

hood.  Failure to do so could result in a burn back during high winds blowing directly up the air inlet during a simulta-

neous power failure (see diagram above).

Blockage, excessive length, or extra bends in the air intake pipe will starve the stove of combustion air.  A 90-degree

bend is equivalent in restriction to approximately 30 inches of straight inlet pipe.

CAUTION:   The operation of exhaust fans such as bath room fans, attic fans, etc. might starve the heater of combustible air

creating a negative pressure in the room.  Provide adequate ventilation in the room accompanying the heater.  If not, the

pressure switch may shut off operation of the heater. (Due to negative pressure)

NOTE:

A wire mesh screen with a

maximum opening size of 3/8”

must be installed.
