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 33). Pull the handle to open or push to close.

APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE

Before finishing the enclosure around the appliance, 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 34).

1.With the handle at the bottom, completely fold the panel on its hinges.

2.With the handle facing the center of the firebox opening, in- sert the lower pivot pin on the glass door panel into the hole in pivot plate on the bottom edge of the fireplace opening (see Figure 35).

3.Keeping the folded door tilted, slide the upper two pins into the guide track found under the upper facial edge of the fire- box opening.

4.Tilt the glass assembly fully vertical until the outer pivot pin snaps into the mounting hole in the upper spring clip (see Figure 35).
