For clearances to combustible materials from the vent pipe, see “minimum clearance to combustibles” section.

WARNING
•
Ensure to unpack all loose materials from inside the fi rebox prior to connecting the gas and electrical supply
•
If your appliance is supplied with a remote, ensure the remote receiver is in the “OFF” position prior
to connecting the gas and electrical supply to the appliance.
•
For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.
•
The appliance exhaust fl ue collar must be sealed using Mill Pac
. All exhaust and intake vent pipe joints
must be sealed using red RTV high temp silicone sealant (W573-0002) (not supplied) or black high temp Mill
Pac (W573-0007) (not supplied).
•
If using pipe clamps to connect rigid vent components, a minimum of 3 screws must also be used to ensure
the connection cannot slip off.
•
Do not clamp the fl exible vent pipe.
•
Risk of fi re, explosion, or asphyxiation. Improper support of the entire venting system may allow vent to sag
and separate. Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per installation instructions.
•
Risk of fi re, do not allow loose materials or insulation to touch the vent pipe. Remove insulation to allow for the
installation of the attic shield and to maintain clearances to combustibles.
•
Do not fi ll the space between the vent pipe and enclosure with any type of material. Do not pack insulation
or combustibles between ceiling fi restops. Always maintain specifi ed clearances around venting and fi restop
systems. Install wall shields and fi restops as specifi ed. Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from
vent pipe may cause fi re.
•
For gas stoves only:
If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or other combustible material
other than wood fl ooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth, unless otherwise tested.
This application occurs when venting through an exterior
wall. Having determined the correct height for the air
terminal location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall,
as illustrated, to accommodate the fi restop assembly. Dry
fi t the fi restop assembly before proceeding to ensure the
brackets on the rear surface fi t to the inside surface of the
horizontal framing.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for
combustible walls that are less than 8 1/2” (215.9mm)
thick but the vent shield must extend the full depth of the
combustible wall.
A. Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown, using the 3
shorter screws supplied.
B. Place the fi restop top so that the vent shield covers the top of
the vent within the opening. Ensure that both spacer and shield
maintain the required clearance to combustibles.
C. Secure the spacer in place using the 4 longer screws supplied.
Once the vent pipe is installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant between the pipe and the fi restop spacer.
•
The fi restop assembly must be installed with the vent shield to the top.
•
Terminals must not be recessed into a wall or siding more than the depth of the return fl ange of the mounting
plate.
!
WARNING
Do not fi ll the air space between the fi restop spacer and the
exterior wall with any type of insulating material (i.e. spray foam).
