COMBUSTION AIR KIT
MODEL AKGL (OPTIONAL)
The outside air kit may be installed on the
right side of the fireplace only. The vent can
be installed through the outside wall or a
ventilated crawl space. The handle to oper-
ate the damper door for the outside air inlet
will be located behind the burner valve
access door when the kit is installed (see
Figure 24). 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 bot-
tom of the appliance. (see Figure 25).
CAUTION: Air inlet ducts are
not to terminate in attic space.
To replace, insert top door pins into spring
clips located on the top face. Make sure pins
are properly secured to the clips. As you
hold top portion in place, swing bottom of
door towards bottom face until the bottom
door pins clear the flange and then insert the
lower pins into the locating slots until seated
(see Figure 26).
Note: some adjustment maybe required in
order to align door pins to clip (top) and
locating slots (bottom).
This can be done by loosening the screw
securing both spring clip and pivot plate and
sliding it to the proper location.
GLASS DOOR REMOVAL
AND REPLACEMENT
To remove, hold the glass door firmly at
handles and evenly push straight up until
bottom pins are free from location slots
(see Figure 26). Slightly swing door to-
wards you. At this point, while maintain-
ing glass door secured at one handle, grasp
the side of glass panel for better grip and
slightly pull glass door down to free top
pins from spring clips.
Note: Glass door may be heavy for some
individuals. If this is the case, please request
help from someone else.
CAUTION: For use with glass
doors certified with the appliance
only.
CAUTION: Do not operate
the appliance with the glass door
removed.
