Explorer II Medium Wood Stove

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-

able for the appliance to operate properly. It can be strongest

in lower levels of the house.

Causes include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)

• Range hoods

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters

and other combustion appliances

• Clothes dryers

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system

• Upper level air leaks such as:

- Recessed lighting

- Attic hatch

- Duct leaks

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:

• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing

winds during the heating season

• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances

and exhaust equipment

• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not

located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance

• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or

small isolated spaces

• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design

• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed

• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams

taped or sealed

WARNING

Asphyxiation Risk.

• Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion

fumes, soot and carbon monoxide.

• Appliance needs to draft properly for safety.

ISSUES SOLUTIONS

Odor from appliance When ﬁ rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the ﬁ rst several hours. This is

caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.

Metallic noise Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to

the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or

longevity of the appliance.

Whirring sound If the optional blower has been installed, the blower produces a whirring sound which

increases in volume as the speed is increased.
