Pacific Energy ALDERLEA T6 Installation & Operation Manual - Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local
building code before proceeding.
1. Outside air supply - (Necessary for mobile home installation, optional for residential
installation.) To draw outside air through the fl oor, cut or drill a 102mm diameter hole
directly below the bottom hole of the ash box enclosure(see page 6 Fig. #1a). Connect
enclosure to the fl oor with a short 102mm diameter pipe.
This hole must get its air from a ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to the
outdoors (see Figure #4, Page 11). The use of outside combustion air for residential
installation requires the unit to be secured to the structure to prevent dislodging of the
air duct.
Not e: When installed in a mobile home, this unit is not designed to be operated with the
fi ring door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of sparks landing on combustibles,
an open fi re door will cause the heater to draw air from the living space and possibly
cause suffocation.
2. Room air supply -There is a 102mm opening in the ash box enclosure. The stove will
draw its air from the room through this opening and into the fi rebox intake.
Note: The living space around the heater must be well ventilated with good air circulation.
Anything that may cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes to be pulled
into the living area. During extremely cold weather, and especially when burning at very
slow rates, the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up, partially blocking the
fl ue gases. If blockage occurs, fl ue gases may enter living space.
