MODELS
For models other than direct-vent, remove
panel or stamped face louver by snapping
out the front with a flat blade screwdriver (see
Figure 1, page 2). Use caution not to scratch
any surfaces. These panels can also be re-
moved by inserting fingertips between slots
and gently pulling out. DO NOT FORCE. The
panels are actually held in place by means of
a retention dimple embossed on the edge of
the panel. To reinstall, place louver into cavity
and push gently.
DIRECT-VENT MODELS
There are two different types of direct vent
louvers: spring latch and bullet-style clip.
Spring Latch:
Remove louver with spring
latches by simultaneously pulling both top
spring latches toward the center of the appli-
ance until they are disengaged from the latch-
ing holes. Repeat for bottom spring latches
and pull louver outward (see Figure 3). To
reinstall, simple reverse procedure.
Bullet-Style Clip:
Remove louver with bullet-
style clips by using a flat blade screwdriver and
snapping louver forward. Use caution not to
scratch any surfaces. These panels can also be
removed by inserting fingers between slots on
louver and gently pulling out. DO NOT FORCE
(see Figure 4). To reinstall, align bullet-style
clips with locating holes on inside of firebox
and push gently.
