Initial Installation

QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY

Installation of Appliance:

1.This unit has been shipped as a top-vented freestanding unit and must be converted to a

rear vented unit before installed.

a. Carefully remove the trivet and the stovetop. Place on a soft surface as not to damage the finish.

b. Remove the four (4) ¼” screws that hold the flue collar elbow to the unit body.

c. Carefully remove the elbow being sure not to damage the gasket that is glued to the flue collar elbow, it seals the flue to the firebox (see Figure 25).

d. Turn the elbow 180° to the rear vent position and re-fasten with the screws removed in step b.

2.This unit has been shipped with a Cara

orifice installed and it must be replaced with a Cara DR orifice (NG - PO512-42 DMS or LP

- PO512-54 DMS). Refer to Maintenance And Service - Fuel Conversion.

3.Set the appliance in the desired location. Check to determine if wall studs are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.

4.Direct vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections. Assemble the desired combination of black pipe and elbows to the appliance adapter with pipe seams oriented towards the wall or floor, as much out of view as possible.

Place a bead of Mil-Pac on the outer edge of the inner exhaust pipe

(non-flared end). Place a bead of high temperature silicone on the male

edge of the outer pipe. Push the pipe sections completely together, then

Connection.

3.With the pipe attached to the stove in the correct location, mark the wall for a 10” (25.4cm) x 10” (25.4 cm) square hole (refer to Figure 27). The center of the square hole should match the center line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10” (25.4cm) x 10” (25.4cm) hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. Refer to Figure 24 and Table 7. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material i.e. masonry or concrete, a 7” (17.8cm) hole is acceptable.

4.Position the horizontal vent termination in the center of the 10” (25.4cm) x 10” (25.4cm) hole, and attach to the exterior wall with the four (4) screws provided. Before attaching the vent termination to the exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the edges, so as to make a seal between
