OUTSIDE AIR CONNECTION
Connection from the intake pipe (2" diameter
pipe in rear of stove) to the outside of the house
is REQUIRED for mobile home installation. It is
recommended in tightly sealed homes with
exhaust fans such as kitchen or bathroom fans,
or in basement installations. This will eliminate
poor performance due to negative pressure.
Only noncombustible pipe 2" (or greater) in
diameter is approved for outside air connections
(Straight of flexible). PVC pipe is NOT approved
and should NEVER be connected to the stove.
If the air inlet is connected to the outside, it
MUST be terminated with a vertical 90° bend
down, or with a wind hood. Failure to do so
could result in a burn-back if high winds blow
directly into the air inlet during a power outage.
Blockage, excessive length (more than 6-8 ft),
or extra bends in the air intake could lead to
starvation of combustible air to the stove.

MOBILE HOME
Installation in a mobile home should be in
accordance with the manufactured home and
safety standard (HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24. This
stove must be vented to the outside. In addition to
the standard installation instructions, the following
requirements are mandatory for installation in a
mobile home:
The stove must be permanently attached to the
floor.
Stove must have an outside air source.
Stove must be electrically grounded to the steel
chassis of the mobile home, unless 3-prong or
GFCI power outlets are provided.
All vertical chimney vents must have wall
supports.
All exhaust systems must have a spark arrestor.
Check with local building officials to see if other
codes may apply.
Structural integrity of the floor, wall and
ceiling/roof must be maintained.

WARNING
Do not connect to any air distribution duct or
system.
Do not install in a sleeping room.
CAUTION
The operation of exhaust fans, such as bathroom
and attic fans, could create a negative pressure in
the room, causing the stove to be starved of
combustible air. Be sure to provide adequate
ventilation in the room the pellet stove is located. If
not, the pressure (vacuum) switch may shut off the
operation of the pellet stove.
The efficiency of ComfortBilt pellet stoves can be
impacted by the temperature of the air supplied to
the burn pot, and the temperature of the air that is
drawn past the heat exchange tubes to heat the
room. When exterior air supplied to the burn pot is
extremely cold, slightly more energy is required to
burn pellets at optimum temperatures. A
disadvantage of supplying interior room air to the
burn pot is that the room air used by the burn pot
(and sent out to the exhaust pipe) must be
replaced by air drawn through windows, doors,
and cracks. Using interior air is not recommended
in newer houses that are tightly sealed. Air drawn
in by the room blower is always interior room air
and should be the coolest air in the living space.
Stoves typically work best when placed on the
lower level of the home, and located so that all the
air in the space is freely available to the stove's
heat exchanger.
