AND DILUTION AIR FROM THE ROOM. THE DRAFT HOOD LOCATED IN THE SAME ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE ZONE AS THE COMBUSTION AIR INLET TO THE APPLIANCE. IT IS ALSO DESIGNED TO
DRAW ROOM AIR FOR PROPER HEAT CIRCULATION FROM THE REAR OF THE UNIT. BLOCKING OR
MODIFYING THE LOUVERS IN ANY WAY CAN CREATE HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS, EITHER THROUGH
POOR VENTING OR BY OVERHEATING. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS UNIT HAS SUFFICIENT AIR
CIRCULATION FOR PROPER VENTING AND COMBUSTION THUS PROVISIONS MUST BE MADE FOR THE
SUPPLY OF ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.

WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting

system or tampering with the vent safety shutoff system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
and possible death.

FLUE GAS SPILL SWITCH

NOTE: THIS HEATER MUST BE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO A VENTING SYSTEM. THIS HEATER
IS EQUIPPED WITH A VENT SAFETY SHUTOFF SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PROTECT AGAINST
IMPROPER VENTING OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS. THIS SAFETY SWITCH IS LOCATED ON THE
REAR OF THE APPLIANCE CLOSE TO THE DRAFT HOOD RELIEF OPENING.

IF THE SWITCH TRIPS MORE THAN ONCE, THE CHIMNEY SHOULD BE INSPECTED BY A

QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR POSSIBLE BLOCKAGE OR SEVERE DOWN DRAUGHT

This stove should be vented by certified 4" Type B Gas Vent or a flexible gas vent liner which may be encased in
6" decorative stove pipe. The flue collar of the appliance will fit inside of standard vent and may be fastened
directly to the vent.

The ENVIROGAS incorporates its own internal draft hood, so no additional external draft hood is required.

Check periodically that the vent is unrestricted and an adequate draft is present when the unit is in operation.

The venting system should be assembled and installed according to the vent manufacturer's instructions and the
local, state/provincial or national codes. Two basic venting configurations are shown as rough guidelines only.
Follow national and local codes for other installation options.
