FREESTANDING OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (Continued)
8 & 9. Outside Air Kit (Pedestal Only) and Outside Air Boot (Legs Only)
The outside air kit and boot are options that allow the stove to use outside air for combustion instead of
room air. This is a requirement for mobile home installations. Both the outside air kit and boot work in the
same fashion. Instead of having the air enter through the combustion air intake under the ashlip, the
outside air kit and boot re-route the air intake so the air is drawn from outside. This section will address
the special installation factors that must be considered when installing this model of stove with an outside
air kit or boot.
THE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE OUTSIDE AIR KIT AND OUTSIDE
AIR BOOT ARE INCLUDED WITH THOSE KITS AND MUST BE READ PRIOR TO
INSTALLING THE STOVE.
The most important factor that must be
considered when installing an outside air kit
or boot with your stove is placement. Make
detailed plans to determine the precise
location for your stove. When installing the
outside air kit or boot there are two
placement considerations that must be
addressed simultaneously. They are:
1. Does the stove line up with the flue in the
right location, avoiding structural
members of the roof?
2. Does the hole that is cut in the floor and
hearth for the outside air kit or boot avoid
all structural members of the floor?
These two questions must be considered in
determining the final location for the stove.
To determine the size, shape, and location of
the hole in the hearth and floor, refer to the
directions included with the outside air kit
and boot. To determine the size and location
of the hole in the roof, refer to the directions
included with the chimney being used and
the location of the flue collar in the section
"FREESTANDING INSTALLATION -
SPECIFICATIONS"

After the precise location of the stove is
determined, the outside air kit or boot should
be installed prior to installing the stove.
Follow the directions included with the
outside air kit or boot. Make sure to remove
the correct knock-out for the outside air kit or
boot. See the illustration to the left.
