1. Remove the convection baffle from the appliance. The baffle
is secured by (2) screws right behind the upper edge of the
fireplace opening. Recycle this panel as it is no longer needed.
2. Remove (4) cover plates on top of the appliance (4 screws each).
3. Align the take off collars to the corresponding holes on top of
the appliance. Secure with screws previously removed. Install
the take off collars to the corresponding opening(s) on the
plenum(s). Use supplied screws.
4. Frame a rough opening at the desired location. See previous
pages of this manual for allowable plenum positions and rough
frame opening sizes.
5. Install the plenum(s) into the rough frame opening maintaining
minimum clearances to combustibles as listed (see previous

pages). Fix the plenum to the framing using nails or screw
through the top mounting bracket.
NOTE: Mounting brackets are not intended to carry the weight
of the plenum and pipes. Provide support to the underside of
the plenum and ensure the plenum is level and its outlet is not
distorted.
6. Use metal strapping (all-around, not supplied) as required to
further secure the plenum to framing.
7. Attach the piping from all (4) plenum vent collars to all (4)
fireplace vent collars. If you are mounting the plenum 10' or
less above the fireplace, use (1) #KZK-410 kit or UL-181 Class 0
approved air duct. If you are mounting the plenum between 10'
to 20' above the fireplace then you will need (2) #KZK-410 kits
and #KZK-CPL or UL-181 Class 0 approved air duct.
8. An upward slope must be maintained in horizontal sections of
pipes for proper convection. Support horizontal sections every
24 inches.
