This unit is equipped with a vent safety switch, located on the right side of the draft hood, which will shut the burner off if
the vent is not functioning properly. Use a match or a source of smoke at the front of the draft channel to check direction of
flow in the vent. Access to the vent switch for servicing is shown below.
The fret retainer brackets are designed to maintain the required space in front of the window to allow the window to
move and relieve during a hard start. It is very important to ensure the area in front of the window is kept clear
at all times.

1. Release the two thumbscrews on the each side of
the fireplace.
2. Fit the slotted holes in the fret retainers over the
thumbscrews and push the retainers down.

Install the Cast Iron Fret
1. Adjust the screw heads on the back of the fret to the
thickness of the retainer bracket.

heads into the slots in the brackets.
