Determining Vent Setup in the Combination Venting Unit
Combination venting units are shipped with rear venting setup nearly ready for install. If this is the type of vent you require, remove
all insulation packing and flue plug block off from rear venting and proceed with fireplace installation. If you require a top-vented
unit, use the following steps to convert the fireplace before use.

Installing Metal, Non-Combustible Front Standoff
A non-combustible standoff is provided with the fireplace to prevent overlap of drywall or other material of portions of the fireplace
that may be prone to the buildup of heat. Standoff arrives on the lower front of the unit.

holding the top vent cover plate and
gasket.

the wrapper over the rear venting outlet. Use two (2) 3/4” long sheet metal screws
Use raised locating dimples
to position front standoff.
Step 1:
Carefully bend up the two (2) tabs on the heat shield at a 90° angle from each opposite
joint and then the foot of the Standoff at approximately a 45° angle.
Step 2:
Secure all three of the screws to the up-right posi-
tioned heat shield - one (1) at both ends and one (1) in the
center.
