Venting Out the Rear Vent

Remove the installed rear seal cap from the rear starting collars by cutting the strap at each end. (see Figure 17). Follow the vent configuration tables accordingly.

Remove the insulation from the REAR five inch flue, pull the heat shield out from outside of the firebox.

!WARNING: THE TOP HEAT SHIELD (INSIDE THE FIREBOX) MUST REMAIN ATTACHED IF THE VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 17.

Venting Out the Top Vent

Remove the two screws in the top vent collar seal cap and remove the top vent collar seal cap and the two pieces of insulation inside the top two starting collars (See Figure 17).

Remove the heat shield from inside the TOP five inch flue from outside of the firebox.

You have to take the glass off again for positioning the logs when the unit is finally installed in place and finished around it. Re-install the glass door. Attach vent system to the top starting collars.

!WARNING: THE REAR VENT COLLAR SEAL CAP MUST REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE REAR VENT COLLARS IF THE VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE TOP STARTING COL- LARS. SEE FIGURE 18.

If your vertical vent component is over 10 feet, you may want to install the included vertical baffle to improve flame appearance. Vertical baffle is located in the bag containing the instruction manual. Center the vertical baffle on the five inch flue being used, and with self tapping screws secure the baffle to the inside of the firebox.
