OUTSIDE AIR AND DAMPER HANDLE OPERATION 
 

The damper handle, which opens and closes the damper blade, 
is located in the upper front face of the fireplace.  Pushing the 
handle forward and up of the keyway slot will free the damper 
blade to automatically open.  Pushing the handle forward and 
down will lock the damper blade closed (see figure 21). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The outside air kit lever is located at the left and right hand 
sides of the fireplace (see figure 22).  Lifting the lever up will 
free the outside air door to open.  Pulling the lever down will 
lock the door close.
