CALIBER DESIGNER DIRECT VENT
D. SETTING THE APPLIANCE
1. Appliance Placement
This appliance may be placed on a smooth combustible or noncombustible, continuous, flat surface. When the
appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel (hearth sheet) extending the full width and depth of the appliance. Slide
the assembly into position and level from side-to-side and front-to-back. Shim with noncombustible material as
necessary.
2. Secure the Appliance
Secure the appliance by bending out the nailing flanges on each side of the appliance and nail to the framing. The
nailing flanges have been positioned
5/8 back from the front of the appliance to allow for the addition of drywall.
3. Removal of Vent Connectors
This appliance may be vented either off the rear of the appliance or off the top. Depending on your specific installation,
a vent cover must be removed from either the top or rear of the appliance and the inner and outer collars attached.
Figure 15
Venting Components (in order of disassembly)
4. Removal of Vent Covers and Placement of Collars
This appliance may be vented either off the rear of the appliance or off the top. Depending on your specific installation,
a vent cover will need to be removed from either the top or rear of the appliance and the inner and outer collars
attached.
Looking at either the rear or top of your appliance (depending on which venting style you are going to use), there is a
square plate held to the appliance via four screws. Remove this plate (insulation is attached to it). Below this piece is
another plate attached to the inner shell of the appliance. Remove this plate as well. A third plate is attached to the
appliance beneath the previous plate with four screws. Remove this last plate. You should be able to see inside the
appliance. See Figure 15.
Take the 5 diameter collar assembly from the cardboard pack inside the appliance. Using four screws removed
earlier, attach the collar assembly where the last plate was removed. Take care not to strip the screws. The collar
should protrude from the top or rear of the appliance. Take the 8 diameter collar assembly from the cardboard and
attach it, via four screws, to where the second plate was removed on the inner shell. Make sure the gasketing on the
plate seals the appliance inner shell. The third and final piece to install has insulation attached to it and an 8 diameter
hole. This piece should fit around the 8 collar assembly with the insulation going inside the outer shell of the appliance.
Attach with screws. See Figure 18.
