1.Unpack vent components and check all items for shipping damage.

2.For this venting system to operate as designed it is depen- dent on the use of all parts and procedures detailed in these instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may poten- tially affect the performance of this vent system and the at- tached appliance.

3.As per the fireplace manufacturer’s instructions, replace the existing 6 5/8” diameter fireplace vent adapter with the 7” diameter flex vent fireplace adapter included in the vent kit. Install the adapter collar with the screws removed from the standard fireplace collar. Refer to the fireplace manual for ad- ditional information on the vent collar removal and installa- tion.
