When the thermostat is located closeto the appliance, it may require a slightly higher temperaturesetting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If thethermostat location is in an adjacent room or on a differentfloor level, you will notice higher temperatures near theappliance.CAUTION• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUESERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTON DUCTOR SYSTEM.Fire Hazard.WARNING• Do not operate appliance before readingand understanding operating instructions.• Failure to operate appliance properly maycause a house fire.Location of the appliance and chimney will affectperformance.• Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the buildingenvelope. This helps to produce more draft, especiallyduring lighting and die-down of the fire.• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes theeffects of wind loading.• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacentstructures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.• Minimize the use of chimney offsets.• Consider the appliance location relative to floor and ceilingand attic joists.• Take into consideration the termination requirements onPage 11.B. Locating Your Appliance & ChimneyD. DraftDraft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliancessuccessfully. When an appliance is drafting successfully, allcombustion byproducts are exiting the home through thechimney.Considerations for successful draft include:• Preventing negative pressure• Location of appliance and chimneyNOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes noresponsibility for the improper performance of the chimneysystem caused by:• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions• Downdrafts• Tight sealing construction of the structure• Mechanical exhausting devicesE. Negative PressureWARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure cancause spillage of combustion fumes and soot.Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-able for the appliance to operate properly. It can be stron-gest in lower levels of the house.Causes include:• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)• Range hoods• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heatersand other combustion appliances• Clothes dryers• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system• Upper level air leaks such as:- Recessed lighting- Attic hatch- Duct leaksTo minimize the effects of negative air pressure:• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailingwinds during the heating season• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliancesand exhaust equipment• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are notlocated in the immediate vicinity of the appliance• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways orsmall isolated spaces• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seamstaped or sealed
