residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can result
in corrosion over time.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions label in the control compartment
or in the Care and Operation Instructions
manual).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas
leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles
are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the "OFF"
position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking
connection, then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.

Step 6. OUTSIDE AIR KITS
Optional outside make-up air kits, Model
FOAK-4 or FAOK-4LD (see Figure 22 on Page
15), may be used with these appliances. Refer
to the installation instructions packaged with
the air kits for specific installation information.
If used, the outside air kit must be installed
before the fireplace is framed and enclosed in
the finished wall.
Outside air drawn into the fireplace supplies air
to the fire for combustion. Only one outside air
duct is necessary, if installed. See Figure 9, Page
9 for the location of the units outside air inlet.
If additional length of duct is necessary, pur-
chase locally available U.L. Class 0 or Class 1
metallic ducting. The duct may extend up to 50'
(15.24 m) in any direction.
Note: When installing the air duct vertically,
DO NOT terminate the duct closer than 3 feet
below the chimney top.
Outside combustion air ducting may be run
upwards or vertically through framing and
ceiling joists, with the hood installed through
an outside wall and 3 feet (1 m) below the ter-
mination. Ducting may also be run downward
through floor Joists and under the home to a
ventilated crawlspace not considered part of
the living area of the home.
Note: Do not terminate outside air kit in attic
space under any circumstances.
CAUTION
Never locate inlet where it can be
blocked by shrubs, snow drifts,
etc. Never locate inlet in garage
or any area where there is another
fuel burning appliance or products
emitting combustible gases such
as paint, gasoline, etc. In cold
climates, it is recommended the
outside air duct be insulated.
After completing the installation of the optional
outside air vent system, the outside air control
lever must be put in service and tested to
ensure proper operation before completing
any enclosure around the firebox. Failure to do
so may result in extensive and costly rework.
Before the operation of the vent system can
be tested, the lever securing screw must be
removed. See Figure 21 on Page 15.
The hand operated outside air control lever
is located on the right side of the fireplace
opening. See Figure 21.
To open the outside air , open the bottom control
access panel, reach into the gap between the
firebox bottom and pull the outside air control
lever all the way out.
