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

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.
