Appliance Location • Air Intakes NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation. • Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
R Santa Fe Pellet Stove B. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney E. Negative Pressure Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance. WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. • • Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die-down of the fire. Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the effects of wind loading.
R Santa Fe Pellet Stove F. Avoiding Smoke and Odors Vent Configurations Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power Failure To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down conditions, it must be able to draft naturally without exhaust blower operation. Negative pressure in the house will resist this natural draft if not accounted for in the pellet appliance installation. Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels.
R Santa Fe Pellet Stove H. Tools And Supplies Needed G. Fire Safety To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration: • Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home. • Locate smoke detector away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. • Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions and maintain regularly. • Conveniently locate a Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires.
