Installing Hoods - Empire Comfort Systems VFP36PP32EP-2 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

Black hoods are furnished with each fireplace (or the optional
hood(s)) and MUST be installed before the fireplace is used. Failure
to do so may create a possible fire hazard. For shipping purposes,
the hoods are located behind the upper or lower louvers. If brass,
stainless steel, or hammered pewter hoods are desired, they can
be purchased as an option. Attachment is the same as the standard
black hood.
