Ventilation & Combustion Air Requirements - Waterford Ashling Instructions D'installation Et D'utilisation

ance. Older fireplaces and chimneys may not
comply with current day codes.
The fireplace and chimney should be in, or bought
up to, acceptable conditions and proper clear-
ances should be met before connecting the stove
to the fireplace chimney.
The size of the flue must be considered. If the fire-
place chimney is too large, reline the chimney
using an approved relining system.
Connection to a masonry chimney may be done by
breaching into the chimney from the front of the
fireplace, no less than 8" 200mm above the bottom
of the first flue tile, by installing a stainless steel or
other Listed chimney connector from the fireplace
damper and smoke chamber, terminating at the
first flue tile, or by installing a stainless steel or
other Listed relining system from the flue outlet up
the entire length of the chimney, where necessary.
In Canada when connecting to a masonry fireplace
the steel chimney connector must terminate at the
top of the masonry chimney or flue liner.
IMPORTANT: BURN WOOD ONLY. DO NOT
BURN COAL, SYNTHETIC LOGS OR OTHER

VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR
REQUIREMENTS
Ventilation is necessary to supply combustion air
to the appliance. Refer to your Local Authority for
current requirements in your jurisdiction.
Fig.36
Outside combustion air may be required if:
1. The solid-fuel-fired appliance does not draw
steadily, smoke rollout occurs, fuels burns
poorly, or back drafts occur whether or not
there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house,
such as fireplaces or other heating appli
ances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer
smoke rollout when opened, or back-draft
whether or not there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (wind
less) day alleviates any of the above symp-
toms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed
vapour barrier and tight fitting windows
and/or has any powered devices that exhaust
house air (e.g. extraction hoods, tumble dry-
ers).
5. There is excessive condensation on windows

in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
If these or other indications suggest that infiltration
air is inadequate, additional combustion air should
be provided from the outdoors. Outside combus-
tion air can be provided to the appliance by the fol-
lowing means:
1. Direct connection: Refer to O.S.A. Hook-up in
this manual.
2. Indirect method: for an appliance not certi-
fied for direct connection of outside com-
bustion air, the outside air is ducted to a point
no closer than (12") 300mm from the appli-
