C. Thermostat Location
The  thermostat’s  location  will  have  some  effect  on  the 
appliance’s operation.  When the thermostat is located close 
to the appliance, it may require a slightly higher temperature 
setting  to  keep  the  rest  of  the  house  comfortable.    If  the 
thermostat location is in an adjacent room or on a different 
floor  level,  you  will  notice  higher  temperatures  near  the 
appliance.
CAUTION
  DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE 
SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
•  DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTON DUCT 
OR SYSTEM.
Fire Hazard.
WARNING
•  Do not operate appliance before reading 
and understanding operating instructions.
•  Failure to operate appliance properly may 
cause a house fire.
Location  of  the  appliance  and  chimney  will  affect 
performance. 
•  Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building 
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially 
during lighting and die-down of the fire.
•  Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the 
effects of wind loading.
•  Locate  termination  cap  away  from  trees,  adjacent 
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
•  Minimize the use of chimney offsets. 
•  Consider the appliance location relative to floor and ceiling 
and attic joists.
•  Take into consideration the termination requirements on 
Page 11.
B. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances 
successfully. When an appliance is drafting successfully, all 
combustion  byproducts  are  exiting  the  home  through  the 
chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
•  Preventing negative pressure
•  Location of appliance and chimney
NOTICE:  Hearth  &  Home  Technologies  assumes  no
responsibility for the improper performance of the chimney
system caused by:
•  Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
•  Downdrafts
•  Tight sealing construction of the structure
•  Mechanical exhausting devices
E. Negative Pressure
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation!
 
Negative pressure can
cause 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 heaters 
and 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 leaks
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
•  Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing 
winds during the heating season
•  Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances 
and exhaust equipment
•  Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not 
located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
•  Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or 
small 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 seams 
taped or sealed
