8. At this point, check to be sure that there is a
3/8”
air gap be-
tween the entire flat back surface of the mounting plate and
the wall surface. The gap is critical to a safe installation and if
the gap is obstructed in any way, remove the obstruction be-
fore proceeding.
9. Next check that the brackets on the mounting plate that actual-
ly hold the fireplace are level, again using a spirit level. If the
brackets are not perfectly level, you can adjust the right brack-
et by loosening the bracket fasteners and moving the bracket
until it is level with the left bracket. Remember to tighten the
bracket fasteners once you have achieved a level position.
10. The next step is to install the vent starter pipe onto the fire-
place.
11. Remove the glass panel and glass frame assembly from the
front of the firebox by loosening and removing the seven glass
frame fasteners that are located along the top edge of the glass
frame.
12. While holding the glass panel and glass frame along the outer
edges, tip the top of the glass frame forward a few inches.
13. Wrap your fingers around the frame and hold the glass and
frame together while you lift the frame up and out of the lower
glass retainer. Set the glass and frame assembly aside in a
safe place.
14. At this point, it is necessary to determine whether your instal-
lation will require the addition of flow restrictors to the com-
bustion air inlet system or the exhaust outlet or both. Refer to
the venting section that starts on page
8
to make that determi-
nation.
15. If your installation does not require any restrictors, place the
vent starter pipe gasket on the back of the fireplace aligning
the holes in the gasket with the pilot holes on the rear of the
fireplace.
16. Align the inner pipe of the vent starter pipe with the exhaust
outlet pipe on the fireplace. The vent pipe will fit tightly over
the fireplace pipe. Gently push the starter pipe on to the fire-
place pipe until the outer pipe flange makes contact with the
starter pipe gasket. Be sure that the holes in the starter pipe
flange align with the gasket and pilot holes. When the flange
contacts the gasket, install the five fasteners provided with the
starter pipe.
