INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Locate air inlet cover plate on fi replace's outer surround and remove
it. Cut-out any visible insulation that may obstruct air fl ow. Air inlet
tube may be installed in two positions (Figure 2) (AK4E only). In-
sert inner tab of inlet tube into the mating slot next to the opening
(Figure 1). Place outer tab of inlet tube over mating hole next to the
opening and secure with a screw previously removed from cover
plate. Seal any remaining gaps around inlet tube with hi-temp duct
tape or noncombustible sealant (Figure 3 or 4).
2. Construct a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" framing or opening on exterior wall (see
Figure 3 or 4). Install the outside air vent termination in a location
that would not eventually be obstructed by bushes, snow, or other
obstructions.
Also, locate the vent near the fi replace to make fl ex duct instal-
lation easier. The fl ex duct supplied measures approximately 10"
compressed and up to approximately 3 feet extended (Figures 3 or
4).
Be very careful not to distort fl ex duct when extending and watch for
sharpness at the edges (use gloves). Slip fl ex duct onto inlet collar
and vent collar. Clean fl ex duct surface of oil and dirt at the ends
and secure fl ex duct to collars with hi-temp duct tape to provide a
good seal.
