The Kozy Zone Kit requires that the convection baffle, located above
the firebox inside the appliance metal cabinet, to be removed to
allow the hot airflow to convect upwards into the air ducts installed
on the fireplace.
1.
Remove the convection baffle from the appliance. The baffle is
secured by a baffle clip with (2) screws in the front center, and
(2) screws right behind the upper edge of the fireplace opening.
Recycle this panel as it is no longer needed.

2.
Remove (2) 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 into the rough frame opening while
maintaining minimum clearances to combustibles as listed (see
previous pages). Fix the plenum to the framing, using nails or
screws 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 (not supplied) as required to further secure
the plenum to framing.

7.
Attach the piping from all (6) plenum take off collars to all (6)
take off collars on the fireplace. If you are mounting the plenum
10' or less above the fireplace, use (1) #KZK-410-6 kit or UL-181
Class 0 approved air duct. If you are mounting the plenum
between 10' to 20' above the fireplace, you will need (2) #KZK-
410-6 kits and #KZK-CPL6 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.
9.
Install the #KZK-045DT discharge trim to the plenum, after the
wall finish is completed, using (2) screws if using the #KZK-045
plenum. Finishing material must not block opening and should
run evenly along plenum opening. The #KZK-045DT discharge
trim is optional depending on finishing material choice.
10. Continue with fireplace installation.
