ventilation openings

The appliance enclosure must be provided with sufficient air circulation to avoid a fire hazard. Install ventilation
grilles (minimum free air opening of 40 sq. in. [0.03 sq. meters]) at both floor and ceiling levels of the enclosure.
These grilles must not restrict the flow of heat by more than 25%. Do not install into any area having a height less
than 7 ft. (2m) (ceiling enclosure to appliance bottom, exclusing hearth height).

outside combustion air

note:
Outside air kit (111-KT) is an optional accessory. Outside air is to be supplied directly to the appliance in some
jurisdictions. Install according to local codes.
It is recommended to install outside air to the appliance as this will help to prevent any smoke entering the living
space in homes that experience negative pressures. Check with local authorities having jurisdiction in your area, it
may be mandatory.
Insulating the intake liner is recommended in colder climates to prevent condensation from occurring.
It is recommended that a dip or loop is put into the duct creating a cold air trap in order to prevent cold air from
flowing into the room when the appliance is not being operated (see illustration below).
The NZ5000 takes outside air directly into the appliance through the opening on the left side.
The fresh air inlet duct and hood must be installed lower than the firebox. Secure and seal the intake liner to the
collar using 3 sheet metal screws, and high temperature sealant.
The duct inlet must be located so they cannot be blocked (i.e. snowdrifts). 12" (30.5cm) above grade is
recommended. Make a 4 ½" (114mm) inch hole to suit in an outside wall of the house. From outside, place the
fresh air hood into the hole, open side down. Seal with caulking and secure.
