B. Rear Vent D. Securing and Leveling the Appliance

NOTICE: Once appliance is set up for top or rear venting, it CANNOT be changed at a later time.

Figure 9.6 Remove the insulation from the outer vent pipe. For rear venting there is no insulation in the outer vent pipe.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Prevent contact with:

•Sagging or loose insulation

•Insulation backing or plastic

•Framing and other combustible materials

Block openings into the chase to prevent entry of blown- in insulation. Make sure insulation and other materials are secured.

DO NOT notch the framing around the appliance standoffs.

Failure to maintain air space clearance may cause overheating and fire.

The diagram shows how to properly position and secure the appliance (see Figure 9.9). Nailing tabs are provided to secure the appliance to the framing members.

•Bend out nailing tabs on each side.

•Place the appliance into position.

•Keep nailing tabs flush with the framing.

•Level the appliance from side to side and front to back.

•Shim the appliance as necessary. It is acceptable to use wood shims underneath the appliance.

•Secure the appliance to the framing by using nails or screws through the nailing tabs.

•Secure the appliance to the floor by inserting two screws through the pilot holes at the bottom of the appliance.

Figure 9.7 To attach the first section of vent pipe, make
sure to use the fiberglass gasket in the manual bag to seal
between the first vent component and the outer fireplace
wrap. Use 2 self tapping screws to secure the gasket to
the outer wrap.
Secure the first section of venting to the fireplace by screw-
ing through the two straps left over from cutting the seal
cap strap in step 2.
C. Installing the Non-combustible Board
The factory supplied non-combustible board spans the
distance from the top of the fireplace to the center of
the framing header. This board must be used. See
