lation. Sheet metal edges are sharp.
This appliance ships standard with an elbow heat shield.
If venting with a 90 degree elbow directly off of the top of

as shown in Figure 9.1.
If venting vertically or using a straight section of vertical
pipe, remove the elbow heat shield and discard by remov-
ing the two 1/4 in. screws that secure the elbow heat shield
to the top of the fi replace.
For all venting applications, ensure that the pipe gasket is
in place before attaching any pipe section. This gasket is
shipped in place around the starting collar. See Figure 9.1.
