Brass Louver Kit

Brass louvers are available for use with these
appliances.  These louvers are designed to
replace the standard black louvers that are
provided with the appliance.  The brass louver
kit includes six (6) louvers that simply snap
into place.  They provide a touch of elegance to
the VF appliance.  This kit can be retrofitted to
previously installed appliances.

Brass Square Surround Kit

A decorative brass square surround kit is
available for use with these appliances.  The
BSK-5 is designed  to attach directly to the
front face of the appliance at its extreme edges.
The BSK-5 provides a picture frame finish for
the appliance 2-1/2" wide.  The brass square
surround kit can be retrofitted onto previously
installed appliances.

Square Trim Kit

A square trim kit is available for use with this
appliance.  This kit is easy to install and does
not require hardware to attach it as de-
signed, directly to the standard door frame.
The four piece square trim kit can be in-
stalled without the bottom or bottom and
side pieces to customize the look of our
appliance.  This kit can be retrofitted to
previously installed appliances.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

An incomparable package of options are avail-
able for use with these appliances. These op-
tions can both customize the operation of these
unique appliances and enhance their beauty
and charming appeal. All options are available
in kit form, are easy to install and are packaged
complete with all required parts and instruc-
tions. Some of the option kits need to be fitted
prior to completing the installation of the appli-
ance. The following paragraphs detail the kit
options available for use with the appliances
covered in this manual.

These outstanding optional items can be added
individually or in sets of two or more to custom-
ize your vent-free appliance to fit your homes
unique needs.  Kit part numbers are provided
on page 12 along with descriptive illustrations.

The appliances covered in this manual are
heater rated and produce a great deal of heat.
Decorative brass trim pieces and hoods may
tarnish because of their proximity to the heater
opening and front face. Tarnishing of these
pieces is normal, unavoidable and should be
expected.

The FAB-1100 assembly provides a forced air
circulation feature for your appliance. This kit
mounts directly into the lower intake chamber
with an electrical connection made at the recep-
tacle provided. The appliance must have an
independent 120Vac power line incorporated at
the time of installation. Refer to Step 5 of the
installation instructions supplied with the forced
air kit (

Figures 19 and 20 ).
