Pacific Energy NEO 1.6 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual - Combustion Air
Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local building codes before proceeding.
1.
Outside air supply - (Necessary for mobile home installation, optional for residential installation.) To draw outside
air through the floor, cut or drill a 102 mm diameter hole directly below the bottom hole of the ash box enclosure.
Connect enclosure to the floor with a short 102 mm diameter pipe.
This hole must get its air from a
ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to the outdoors (see Figure #8, 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 firing door open. In addition to the
obvious hazard of sparks landing on combustibles, an open fire door will cause the heater to draw air from the living space
and possibly cause suffocation.
2.
Room air supply -There is a 102 mm opening in the ash box enclosure. The stove will draw its air from the room through this
opening and into the firebox 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 flue gases. If blockage
occurs, flue gases may enter living space.
