1. Unpack the carton.
2. Install the flex connector. Install the flex connector
and attached flue flange to the underside of the cabinet
top using eight #10-1/2” hex head sheet metal screws.
The connector should point forward with the long axis
of the oval running from side to side. (Fig. 40)
4. Install the spark protector strip. To install the 3” x
38” (76mm x 965mm) spark protector strip, first draw a
line on the hearth parallel and 2” (51mm) in front of the
chase opening. Center the spark protector strip in the
chase opening, with the outside edge on the line. Nail
or screw the strip down, painted side up, so that the
fastener heads are flush with the surface of the spark
protector strip. (Fig. 42)
