Hood Kit Installation
The firebox canopy (hood) shall not be modified or replaced with
a canopy that may be provided with the unvented decorative
room heater.
NOTE: A hood comes standard and is required. The factory-supplied
hood must be installed on the firebox for safe operation in all installa-
tions. See Figure 11.
These hood kits are design to be fitted to the face of the appliance directly
above the firebox opening. In addition to providing an aesthetically pleasing
appearance to your appliance, the hood reduces heat effects to decora-
tive mantels and finish materials located directly above the fireplace and
reduces the Mantel / Trim clearances (see Figure 4 on Page 7).
Please read this entire manual and understood thoroughly before proceed-
ing with the installation of these kits.
Step 1. Using a 5/16" nut driver or socket, remove the screen and rod
assemblies as shown in Figure 10.
Step 2. Align the hood with the holes in the side frames as shown in
Figure 11. Install three screws as shown in Figure 11. Make
sure hood is level and secure.
Step 3. Reinstall screen and rod assemblies (see Figure 10).
