MODELS
For models other than direct vent, remove panel
or stamped face louver by snapping out the front
with a flat blade screwdriver (see Figure 1, page
2). Use caution not to scratch any surfaces. These
panels can also be removed by inserting fingertips
between slots and gently pulling out. DO NOT
FORCE. The panels are actually held in place
by means of a retention dimple embossed on the
edge of the panel. To reinstall, place louver into
cavity and push gently.
DIRECT-VENT MODELS
There are two different types of direct vent lou-
vers: spring latch and bullet-style clip.
Spring
Latch:
Remove louver with spring latches by
simultaneously pulling both top spring latches
toward the center of the appliance until they are
disengaged from the locating holes. Repeat for
bottom spring latches and pull louver outward (see
Figure 3). To reinstall, simply reverse procedure.
Bullet-Style Clip:
Remove louver with bullet-
style clips by using a flat blade screwdriver and
snapping louver forward. Use caution not to
scratch any surfaces. These panels can also be
removed by inserting fingers between slots on
louver and gently pulling out. DO NOT FORCE
(see Figure 4). To reinstall, align bullet-style
clips with locating holes on inside of firebox
and push gently.
