The outside air kit may be installed on the left side of the fireplace only. The vent can be installed through any outside wall a minimum of three feet below fireplace termination cap. The handle to operate the damper door for the outside air inlet will be located inside the left “screen pocket” of the firebox (see Figure 31). Pull the handle to open or push to close.

APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE
Before finishing the enclosure around the appli- ance, inspect all joints around the outer surround. Any gaps between the nailing flanges and the framing should be sealed with noncombustible insulation or caulking.
If the appliance is mounted on a raised platform, it must be a continuous surface and not on blocks without a solid surface. This will prevent the entry of cold air by means of conduction through the
total bottom of the appliance (see Figure 32). | |
