COMBUSTION AIR KIT MODEL AK4
(OPTIONAL)

The outside air kit may be installed on the left side of the fireplace
only. The vent can be installed through any outside wall a minimum
of three feet below fireplace termination cap. The handle to operate
the damper door for the outside air inlet will be located inside the left
“screen pocket” of the firebox (see Figure 33). Pull the handle to
open or push to close.

APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE

Before finishing the enclosure around the appliance, inspect all joints
around the outer surround. Any gaps between the nailing flanges and the
framing should be sealed with noncombustible insulation or caulking.

If the appliance is mounted on a raised platform, it must be a
continuous surface and not on blocks without a solid surface. This
will prevent the entry of cold air by means of conduction through the
total bottom of the appliance. (see Figure 34).

CAUTION: Air inlet ducts are not to terminate in

attic space.

Note:

Glass door may be heavy for some individuals. If this is the

case, please request help from someone else.

The M36, VM36, M42 and VM42 B-vent fireplaces are approved
for use with optional bi-fold glass doors (see Accessories, page 27).
The glass panels may be ordered and installed anytime after the
fireplace installation is complete.

Follow these steps to install left and right panels:

1.

With the handle at the bottom, completely fold the panel on its
hinges.

2.

With the handle facing the center of the firebox opening, in-
sert the lower pivot pin on the glass door panel into the hole in
pivot plate on the bottom edge of the fireplace opening (see
Figure 35).

3.

Keeping the folded door tilted,

slide the upper two pins into

the guide track found under the upper facial edge of the fire-
box opening.

4.

Tilt the glass assembly fully vertical until the outer pivot pin
snaps into the mounting hole in the upper spring clip (see
Figure 35).
