The top plate collar is an aesthetic band that helps hide the venting connection for top vent applications.
Prior to installing the venting, place the collar on top of the unit around the vent adaptor (see Figure 67).
The collar does not fasten to the unit but is heavy enough to sit in place securely.

catch can be loosened and moved if it is
inhibiting the movement of the restrictor.
