INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - Continued
To install the Euro 25 into a vented gas fireplace, see APPENDIX A (page 24)
for installation instructions.
PRECAUTIONS
This appliance must be installed by a qualified gas installer and the installation must conform to the
installation codes.
This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for
adequate combustion and ventilation air. Provide adequate clearance around air openings of the
appliance. Never obstruct front openings.
Provide adequate clearances for proper operation and servicing of the appliance.
This appliance must be properly connected to a suitable venting system and must not be connected
to a chimney flue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
VENTING
The appliance is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system and a safety control system designed to
protect against improper venting of combustion products. The appliance will not function without being
connected to a proper venting system.
The draft hood must be installed in the same room as the atmospheric pressure zone serving the unit for
combustion air.
WARNING: Operation of this appliance when not connected to a properly installed and maintained
venting system or tampering with the vent shut-off system can result in carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
The appliance may be vented using 4 in. diameter aluminum or stainless steel flexible gas liner running
inside a masonry chimney or the flue of the factory-built fireplace. The vent system must be properly
terminated with a suitable vent cap. The liner must form a complete connection from the flue collar to
the vent cap. Follow the vent component manufacturer’s instruction. Also check with local gas
authorities for proper venting methods and procedures.
Connecting the Vent Liner to the Appliance
Run the flexible gas liner down the chimney or flue. The appliance has a detachable flue adapter plate
for ease of installation. Connect the the liner to the flue connector plate and fasten with screws and a 4”
gear clamp. Before placing the appliance into the fireplace, check the hearth of the fireplace to see if it is
level with the front of the fireplace. If it is not, measure the depth of the hearth. Loosen the three screws
of the leveling “L” bracket at the back of the appliance. Lower it to the measurement obtained and
tighten the screws. Make sure the gas and electrical supply line are properly connected to the appliance.
Slide the appliance into the fireplace, and at the same time, slide the flue connector plate back onto the
top of the appliance. Check the leveling of the appliance and attach the faceplate to the appliance before
sliding the appliance all the way into the fireplace.

VENTING - Continued
Caution: Make sure the flue adapter plate is not too far back, or the appliance will not vent
properly.
x
X = ¼” minimum
The arms can also be bent up and out of the way if the adapter plate is forward enough to interfere
with the surround. The adapter plate must completely close with the appliance top plate.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line to the gas fireplace. The line must
be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Up stream of the supply connection, the
fitter shall provide an accessible manual shut-off valve.
CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½
psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do so will
damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening the set screw on supply pressure tap (marked IN) on
the gas valve with a small flat tip screw driver and placing a test gauge on the tap.
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 4.5 in. w.c. (1.2 kPa) for natural gas and 11.0 in. w.c.
(2.8 kPa) for propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in. w.c. (3.6 kPa) or ½
psig. for both natural gas and propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE
PRESSURE, AND CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have
purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the
certification label and also on the tag attached to the appliance’s gas valve.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections must be provided. All
gas connections must be checked for gas leaks.

3 - THE SPILL SWITCH
IS CONNECTED TO THE
1
APPLIANCE (FACTORY-
WIRED)
1) The surround has four hooks that clip onto the sides of the appliance. Make sure the
surround sits evenly with the front of the fireplace. After the surround is properly installed, the
bottom edge of the centre section of the surround is about ¾” from the top of the appliance.
2) If needed, two securing brackets are provided to stabilize the appliance in shallow zeroclearance fireplaces. Screw these to the top of the appliance and to the face of the host fireplace.
Use the holes on the bracket that best suit your application.
3) The spill switch is manual reset type that can be reset by pressing the pin between the two
wire terminals with a small probe once the fireplace has cooled to the touch. This part is
mounted on the unit and can be seen between the louvers once installed in the center top section. You will feel a small click once reset and the unit should relight. If the problem persists,
call your dealer for technical assistance. Do not bypass this safety device.
A pilot shield is packaged with this unit in the event that it is required for installation. This is
only required by the technician installing the unit if deemed necessary for cold pilot start up.
Refer to the placement diagram below.
