The outside air kit may be installed on the left side of the fireplace

ventilated crawl space. The handle to operate the damper door for
the outside air inlet will be located inside the left "screen pocket" of
the firebox (see Figure 29). Pull the handle to open or push to close.
CAUTION: Air inlet ducts are not to terminate in
attic space.

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 30).

INSTALLING OPTIONAL GLASS DOOR
ACCESSORY
CAUTION: Use only glass doors certified for use
with this appliance.
Note: Glass door may be heavy for some individuals. If this is the
case, please request help from someone else.
These B-vent fireplaces are approved for use with optional bi-fold
glass doors (see Accessories, page 21). The glass doors may be
ordered and installed anytime after the fireplace installation is
complete.
Installing Glass Doors
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, insert
the lower pivot pin on the glass door panel into the hole in pivot
plate on the bottom edge of the fireplace opening (see Figure 31).
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.
4. Tilt the door assembly fully vertical until the outer pivot pin snaps
into the mounting hole in the upper spring clip (see Figure 31).
5. Once the top and bottom pins are secured, unfold the door into
the closed position.
6. Repeat the process for the opposite door assembly.
7. To adjust the doors, slide them partially open. Using a screw-
driver, loosen the hold-down screws in the spring clip (see Fig-
ure 32, page 15) and pivot plate.
