COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your fireplace with noncombustible material and wherever cold
air could enter the room. It is especially important to insulate outside chase cavity between studs and under floor on
which fireplace rests, if floor is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed
with unfaced fiberglass insulation.
NOTE: Do not use loose, or blown-in insulation in the cavity surrounding the fireplace.
If the fireplace is being installed on a cement slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or other raised platform can
be placed underneath to prevent conduction of cold transferring to the fireplace and into the room. It also helps to
seal inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.

LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the fireplace are primary concerns. However, vent
system routing to the exterior and access to the fuel supply are also important.
Due to high temperatures, the fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
En raison des températures élevées, l’appareil devrait être installé dans un endroit où il y a peu de
circulation et loin du mobilier et des tentures.
The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air conditioning ducting.
These direct-vent fireplaces are uniquely suited for installations requiring a utility shelf positioned directly above the
fireplace. Utility shelves like these are commonly used for locating television sets and decorative plants.
Be aware that this is a heat producing fireplace. Objects placed above the unit are exposed to elevated temperatures.
Do not insulate the space between the fireplace and the area above it.
The minimum height from the base of the fireplace to the underside of combustible materials used to construct a
utility shelf in this fashion is shown in Table 9.

Proper Sizing of Gas Line
Properly size and route the gas supply line from the supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be installed
per requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54—latest edition (USA) or CAN/CGA-B149.1—latest
edition (Canada).
The gas supply line should not be connected to the appliance until step 14. Connect the Gas Line (Page 41).
NOTE:
• All fireplaces are factory-equipped with a flexible gas line connector and 1/2” shutoff valve (Figure 34).
• See Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements for additional requirements for installations in the state of
Massachusetts in the USA.
• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane-resistant
compounds are used in propane applications. Be very careful that the pipe compound does not get inside the
pipe.
• A sediment trap in the supply line as close as possible to the fireplace is recommended.
• Check with the local building official for local code requirements (e.g., Are below grade penetrations of the gas
line allowed?, etc).
If propane is used, be aware that with a tank that is too small (i.e., under 100 lbs, if this
is the only gas appliance in the dwelling—see NPFA 58), there may be a loss of pressure.
This can result in insufficient fuel delivery that can cause sooting, delayed ignition, or other
malfunctions. Any damage resulting from an improper installation is not covered by the
limited warranty.

Vent Restrictor with Horizontal Terminations
When horizontally terminating a vent system with a vertical vent run up to 4 ft through an exterior wall, no vent
restrictor is required.
If installing more than 4 ft of vertical venting, install the restrictor (Figure 14, Page 23), from inside or outside the
unit, in the inner fireplace collar. The vent restrictor is held in place by friction.
Connecting the vent pipe
Secure Vent® SV4.5 direct-vent system components are unitized concentric pipe components featuring positive twist
lock connections (Figures 16-17). All of the fireplaces covered in this document are fitted with collars having locking
inclined channels. The dimpled end of the vent components fit over the fireplace/vent collar to create the positive
twist lock connection.
1. Align the dimpled end over the collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four (4) locking dimples are aligned
with the inlet of the four (4) inclined channels on the collar (Figure 16).
2. Push the vent component against the collar until it fully engages, then twist the component clockwise, running
the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.
NOTE: The unitized design of the Secure Vent
3. If desired, a #6 x 1/2” sheet metal screw can be used at the joint, but is not required as the pipe will securely lock
when twisted (Figure 17).
Where required, a telescopic vent section (SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the installer with an option to install
in tight and confined spaces, or where the vent run made up of fixed length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable
location, or will not build up to the required length. The SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section has an effective length of
from 1-1/2 to 7” (38 to 191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with a locking inclined channel end (identical to a normal
vent section component) and a plain end with three (3) pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the locking channel end of
a standard SV4.5 vent component the required distance and secure with three (3) screws.

Install the Vertical Termination Vent System
These instructions should be used as a guideline and do not supersede local codes in any way. Install venting
according to local codes, these instructions, the current National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the
current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 in Canada.
Ensure clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier.
Dégagement conforme aux codes d’installa tion locaux et aux exigences du foumisseunde gaz.
Vertical vent systems terminate through the roof. The minimum vent height above the roof and/or adjacent walls
is specified in ANSI Z223.1 (In Canada, the current CAN/CGA-B149.1 installation code) by major building codes.
Always consult your local codes for specific requirements. A general guide to follow is the gas vent rule (Table 6).
The following figures and their associated vertical vent tables illustrate the various configurations that are possible
for use with these fireplaces. Secure Vent® pipe is shown in these figures; Secure Flex® pipe may also be used.
A table summarizes each configuration’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length parameters for a
variety of applications.
1. Refer to Figure 24 and Tables 16–19 on Pages 29–30 to select the type of vertical installation desired. Elbows
are available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer to Figure 18 on Page 24 for the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90
elbow dimensional specifications.

1. Analyze the vent route and determine the number of vent sections and elbows required—See Effective Vent
Length on Pages 24-25 for more information. Plan the venting so that a joint does not occur in the ceiling or
roof joists. Allow for elbows (Figure 18, Page 24). Maintain clearances to combustibles equal to or greater than
minimum specified in these instructions(Page 26).
2. Frame the ceiling opening—Use a plumb line from the ceiling above the fireplace to locate the center of the
vertical run. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2 x 10-1/2” (267 x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about this center
mark (Figure 20).

3. Attach the vent components to the fireplace—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 24.
4. Attach the vent components to each other—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 24.
5. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling—When using Secure Vent®, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer at ceiling joists; when
using Secure Flex®, use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. If there is living space above the ceiling level, the firestop/
spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the firestop/spacer
must be installed on the top side of the joist. Route the vent sections through the framed opening and secure the
firestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.
Remember to maintain 1” (26 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation
when running vertical chimney sections.
NOTE: The gap between the vent pipe and a vertical firestop can be sealed with non-combustible caulking.
NOTE: Attic Insulation Shield (H3907) must be installed when blown or loose-fill insulation is used, and is
required for all attic installations.
6. Support the vertical vent run sections—Support the vertical portion of the venting system every 8 ft (2.4 m)
above the fireplace vent outlet. One method of support is by utilizing field provided support straps (conventional
plumber’s tape). Secure the plumber’s tape to the framing members with nails or screws. Loop the tape around
the vent, securing the ends of the tape to the framing. If desired, sheet metal screws #6 x 1/2” length may be
used to secure the support straps to the vent pipe (Figure 21).
NOTE: Proper venting support is very important.

8. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined sections—Continue with the installation of the straight vent
sections in horizontal/inclined run. Install support straps every 5 ft (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent runs
using conventional plumber’s tape in a direction away from the fireplace.
Rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to level. For best results, maintain the horizontal/inclined run in
a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane of approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m).
Maintain the required clearances to combustibles (Page 26).
9. Frame the roof opening—Identify the location for the vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening (Table 15).
Table 1 - Roof Framing Dimensions
10. Install the roof flashing—Extend the vent sections through the roof structure. Install the roof flashing over the vent
section and position such that the vent column rises vertically (use carpenters level). Nail along perimeter to secure
flashing or adjust roofing to overlap the flashing edges at top and sides only and trim where necessary. Seal the
top and both sides of the flashing with waterproof caulking. The flashing must overlap the roofing material along
the bottom.
11. Install the storm collar—Install the storm collar, supplied with the flashing, over the vent/flashing joint (Figure 22).
Loosen the storm collar screw. Slide collar down until it meets the top of the flashing. Tighten the adjusting screw.
Apply non-combustible caulking or mastic around the circumference of the joint to provide a water tight seal.
Figure 1 - Installing the Storm CollarFigure 2 - Installing the Vertical Termination
12. Install the vertical termination—The final step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1 vertical termination.
Extend the vent sections to the correct height (Table 6, Page 13). The SV4.5CGV-1 Vertical Termination
(Figure 23) installs in the exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent® section. Align the termination over
the end of the previously installed section, adjusting the radial alignment until the four (4) locking dimples of
the termination are aligned with the inlets of the four (4) incline channels of the last vent section. Push the
termination down until it fully engages, then twist the termination clockwise running the dimples down and along
the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.
If the vent system extends more than 5 ft (1.5 m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be necessary.
Additional screws may be used at section joints for added stability. Guide wires or roof support assemblies may
be attached to the joint for additional support on multiple joint configurations.

1. Analyze the vent route and determine the number of vent sections and elbows required—See Effective Vent
Length on Pages 24-25 for more information. Plan the venting so that a joint does not occur in the ceiling or
roof joists. Allow for elbows (Figure 18, Page 24). Maintain clearances to combustibles equal to or greater than
minimum specified in these instructions (Page 26).
2. Frame the exterior wall opening—Locate the center of the vent outlet on the exterior wall (Table 10). Cut and/
or frame an opening, 10-1/2 x 12-1/8” (267 x 308 mm) inside dimensions, about this center.
3. Frame the ceiling opening—If the vertical route is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb line to locate the center
above the fireplace. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2 x 10-1/2” (267 x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about
this center (Figure 20, Page 27).
4. Attach the vent components to the fireplace—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 24.
5. Attach the vent components to each other—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 24.

Innovative Hearth Products
Gemini™ Series Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces
6. Install the firestop/spacer at the ceiling—When using Secure Vent®, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer at ceiling
joists; when using Secure Flex®, use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. If there is living space above the ceiling level,
the firestop/ spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the
firestop/spacer must be installed on the top side of the joist. Route the vent sections through the framed opening
and secure the firestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.
Maintain 1” (26 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation when running
vertical chimney sections.
7. Support the vertical run sections—On the vertical run, support the venting system every 8 ft (2.4 m) above the
fireplace vent outlet with field provided support straps (Plumber’s tape). Attach the straps to the vent pipe and
secure to the framing members with nails or screws (Figure 21, Page 27).
8. Change vent direction—At transition from or to a horizontal/inclined run, install SV4.5E45 or SV4.5E90 elbows
in the same manner as the straight vent sections. The elbows feature a twist section to allow them to be routed
about the center axis of their initial collar section to align with the required direction of the next vent run element.
Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direction only so as to avoid the possibility of unlocking any of the previously
connected vent sections (Figure 18, Page 24).
Continue installation of horizontal/inclined sections—Continue with the installation of the straight vent
sections in horizontal/inclined run. Install support straps every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent
runs using conventional plumber’s tape (Figure 25, Page 31). Maintain the horizontal/inclined run in a straight
(no dips), slightly elevated plane. The recommended incline is approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m)
horizontal, in a direction away from the fireplace. Smaller rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a constant surface and adjust the support straps as
necessary.
Maintain the required clearances to combustibles (Page 26).
Installation
900684-00D 08/2018
9. Assemble the vent run to the exterior wall—If not previously measured, locate the center of the vent at the
exterior wall. Prepare the opening. Assemble the vent system until the terminus of the last section is within
7” (178 mm) to 11-1/4” (286 mm) inboard of the exterior surface to which the SV4.5HT termination is to be
attached (Figure 26). If the terminus of the last section is not within this distance, use the telescopic vent section
SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. Table 20 lists the additional venting components needed (in addition to the
termination and adaptor) for a range of wall thicknesses.
10. Attach the termination adaptor—Attach the adaptor (SV4.5RCH, provided with the termination) to the vent
section or telescoping vent section, elbow or fireplace collar (Figure 26).
11. Install the firestop/spacer at the exterior wall—When using the square termination, install SV4.5HF (Secure
Vent®), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex®) Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exterior side of the framing, long side up,
with the 3” spacer clearance at the top (Figure 26) and nail into place.
NOTE: The firestop/spacer may also be installed over the opening at the interior side of the framing.
12. Install the termination (SV4.5HT-2 or SV4.5HTSS)—From outside the exterior wall, slide the collars of the
termination onto the adaptor (the outer over the outer and the inner inside the inner) until the termination seats
against the exterior wall surface to which it will be attached. Orient the housing of the termination with the arrow
pointed upwards. Secure the termination to the exterior wall. The horizontal termination must not be recessed
into the exterior wall or siding by more than the 1-1/4” (32 mm) (Figure 27).
NOTE: If the venting exits the building below grade, or close to grade, see Installation Accessories on Page 48
for available snorkel terminations. The termination must be above grade and above the expected level of
snow accumulation.
NOTE: The vent termination is hot while in operation and for a period of time following the use of the fireplace.
To prevent contact with hot surfaces, use a horizontal termination guard; available for purchase at your local
dealer.
32
The horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather conditions. Our
terminations meet or exceed industry standards.
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termination where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow of cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap
must be placed where the possibility of cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the
water away from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.
Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including the use of silicone caulking
where required.

NOTE: Secure Vent® rigid vent pipe and terminal are shown in the figures. Secure Flex® flexible vent pipe and
terminal may also be used.
NOTE: Two (2) 45° elbows may be used in place of one (1) 90° elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as shown in the
venting figures for 90° elbows, must be followed if 45° elbows are used.
NOTE: Maintain the horizontal/inclined run in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The recommended incline
is approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m) horizontal, in a direction away from the fireplace. Smaller rise per
foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a constant
surface and adjust the support straps as necessary.
NOTE: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must be used any time vent pipe passes
through a combustible floor or ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must be used
any time vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.

Vertical or Horizontal Venting Using Secure Flex® Kits and Components
Secure Flex® venting kits and components may be used in any other vent installation where rigid Secure Vent®
(SV4.5) direct-vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances pertaining to rigid vent
also apply to flexible vent. Do NOT modify Secure Flex kits . Also, do NOT join separate sections of flex vent
together. Secure Flex kits can be installed on the end of a Secure Vent (SV4.5) rigid vent run, provided that doing
so does not violate any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements, or clearance
considerations detailed in this manual. When combined, a rigid vent should not be installed between two flexible
vents.
Secure Flex kits come with an included adaptor that can be installed on the fireplace collar or the inclined channel
end of the last Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent section in a rigid system in the exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent
section. Align the dimpled end of the adaptor over the previously installed section or fireplace collar, adjusting the
radial alignment until the four locking dimples of the adaptor are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of
the last vent section or collar. Push on the adaptor until it is fully engaged, then twist the adaptor clockwise running
the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

f. Install three (3) screws 120° apart through the flexible vent and into the adaptor collar just below the gear
clamp to provide additional security to the connection.
3. Route the flexible vent.
NOTE: Ensure that the flexible vent is properly routed to provide the required clearance. Do NOT allow the flexible vent
to bend in a radius tighter than 5” (127 mm) (Figure 29). Place the internal flexible vent spacers evenly and avoid
kinking the inner vent. Support horizontal sections of flexible vent with metal straps at 2 ft (0.61 m) intervals.
4. Install firestop/spacers at ceiling and wall penetrations.
• SF4.5VF firestop/spacer for ceilings
• SF4.5HF firestop/spacer for walls
NOTE: See the appropriate sections and figures shown throughout the venting section for installation
requirements.
5. Attach the flexible vent to the termination.
NOTE: Secure Flex® components can be purchased separately and attached to bulk lengths of Secure Flex flexible
vent cut to size at the job site. Attach the flexible vent to the Secure Flex terminations as it was attached to the
adaptor (Figure 28).
NOTE: Attach Secure Flex vent to Secure Flex terminations only. Do NOT substitute Secure Vent® terminations
or Secure Vent adaptor for Secure Flex components. Secure Flex termination and adaptor collars are a
different circumference than Secure Vent collars. Secure Flex vent has an longer center tube to improve
ease-of-installation.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane resistant compounds are
used in propane applications). Optionally, seal around the gas line to prevent cold air leakage. Gas line holes and
other openings can be caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation.
All codes require a shutoff valve mounted in the supply line. The orientation of the shutoff valve should face the
front. Figure 34 illustrates two methods for connecting the gas supply. A sediment trap is recommended to prevent
moisture and debris in the gas line from damaging the valve.
Test Factory and Field Connections for Gas Leaks
Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a gas leak test solution—also known as bubble leak solution.
NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an effective leak test solution but it is not recommended, because the soap
residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion over time.
1. Light the fireplace (refer to the lighting instructions label in the control compartment or Pages 69-72).
2. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or
gas odor is detected, turn the gas control knob (OFF/PILOT/ON) to the OFF position (millivolt units), or turn the
receiver or remote control to the OFF position (electronic units). Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection,
and then retest as described above.
3. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, rinse off the leak testing solution

WARNING
15. Verify Proper Fireplace Operation
1. With the gas line installed, inspect the system before closing the front of the unit.
2. Follow the pilot lighting instructions:
• Millivolt Systems (Pages 69-70)
• Electronic Systems (Pages 71-72 Ecoflow fireplaces)
NOTE: When lighting the fireplace for the first time, it will take a few minutes for the gas line to purge itself of air.
When purged, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated. Subsequent lighting of the fireplace will not
require purging. Inspect the pilot flame (carefully remove logs, if necessary).
Millivolt Fireplace Inspection
The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or floating. Flame should be blue in color with traces of orange at the
outer edge. The top 3/8” (10 mm) at the pilot generator (thermopile) and the top 1/8” (4 mm) minimum (tip) of the
quick drop out thermocouple should be engulfed in the pilot flame. The flame should project 1” (26 mm) beyond the
hood at all three ports (Figure 35). Replace the logs if removed for pilot inspection.
To light the burner, turn ON the remote wall switch and rotate the gas valve control knob counterclockwise to the ON
position (the top of the valve).
Electronic Fireplace Inspection
To light the burner, turn ON the wall or remote control switch. Ensure the igniter lights the pilot. The pilot flame
should engulf the thermocouple. Pilot should have two flames, one that engulfs the thermocouple and one that lights
the burner (Figure 36).

Adjust the Air Shutter to Ensure Proper Flame Appearance
• Air shutter adjustment should only be performed by a qualified professional service technician.
• Ensure glass door is in place and sealed during adjustment.
Installation
900684-00D 08/2018
WARNING
• Soot will be produced if the air shutter is closed too much. Any damage due to sooting,
resulting from improperly setting the air shutter, is not covered under the warranty.
• The air shutter rod and nearby appliance surfaces are hot. Exercise caution to avoid injury
while adjusting flame appearance.
Flame Appearance and Sooting
The flame should be blue at the base, and yellow-orange in the body of the flame.
When the fireplace is first lit, the entire flame may be blue and will gradually turn yellow-orange during the first 15
minutes of operation. If the flame remains blue, or if the flame is orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the air
shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter opening is closed too far, sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing at the
tips of very long orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits forming on the logs, fireplace inside surfaces, and
on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termination.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter
opening. To achieve a warm yellow-orange flame with an orange body that does not soot, the shutter opening must
be adjusted between these two extremes.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If smoke or soot is present, first check the log set positioning to ensure that the flames are not impinging on any
of the logs. If the log set is properly positioned and a sooting condition persists, then the air shutter should be
opened more.
• The more offsets in the vent system, the wider the air shutter will need to be opened.
• An fireplace operated with the air shutter opened too far may have flames that appear blue and transparent.
These weak, blue, and transparent flames are termed anemic.
• Propane models may exhibit flames that candle or appear stringy. If this condition is present and persists, adjust
the air shutter to a more closed position, then operate the fireplace for a few more minutes to ensure that the
flame normalizes and the flames do not appear sooty. The following chart is provided to help achieve the correct
air shutter adjustment for your installation.

3. Allow the burner to operate for at least fifteen (15) minutes while observing the flame continuously to ensure that
the proper flame appearance is achieved (Figure 38). If the following conditions are present, adjust accordingly.
• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a more open position until the proper
flame appearance is achieved.
• If flame remains blue, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a more closed position until the proper flame
appearance is achieved.
4. When satisfied that the burner flame appearance is normal, reinstall the lower control compartment door, then

WARNING
Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.
Toddlers, young children and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is
recommended if there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install
an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the room and
away from hot surfaces.
AVERTISSEMENT
Les jeunes enfants devraient être surveillés étroitement lorsqu’ils se trouvent dans la même pièce que
l’appareil. Les tout petits, les jeunes enfants ou les adultes peuvent subir des brûlures s’ils viennent en
contact avec la surface chaude. Il est recommandé d’installer une barrière physique si des personnes
à risques habitent la maison. Pour empêcher l’accès à un foyer ou à un poêle, installez une barrière de
sécurité; cette mesure empêchera les tout petits, les jeunes enfants et toute autre personne à risque
d’avoir accès à la pièce et aux surfaces chaudes.
WARNING
Reinstall any barrier removed before operating the fireplace. The barrier is designed to reduce the risk of
burns from hot glass. Do not operate the fireplace without the barrier installed.
WARNING
Do not operate the fireplace if:
• The glass front is removed, cracked, or broken
• The surround trim assembly and screen are not installed
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with
headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Turn off the gas
supply to the appliance and have it serviced by a qualified professional, as it may not be operating correctly.
Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others, including pregnant women, people with heart
or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
NOTE: Do not place furniture or other combustible materials within 36” of the front of viewing area(s).
NOTE: Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Remarqué : Les enfants et les adultes devraient être infor-més des dangers que posent les températures de
surface élevées et se tenir à distance afin d’éviter des brûlures ou que leurs vêtements ne s’enflamment.
NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The fireplace should be inspected before
use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding material, etcetera. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the fireplace be kept clean.
Remarqué : L’installation et la réparation devrait être confiées à un technicien qualifié. L’appareil devrait faire
l’objet d’une inspection par un technicien professionnel avant d’être utilisé et au moins une fois l’an par la suite.
Des nettoyages plus fréquents peuvent être nécessaires si les tapis, la literie, et cetera produisent une quantité
importante de pous-sière. Il est essentiel que les compartiments abritant les commandes, les brûleurs et les
conduits de circulation d’air de l’appareil soient tenus propres.

Burn-in Period
The first few times this fireplace is operated, there will be an odor from the curing of paint and the burning off of the
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Depending on usage, the burn-in period may take a few hours or a few
days.
NOTE: Ventilate the site during the burn-in period. The resulting odor and haze may set off a smoke detector. Do not
operate the blower during the burn-in period.
A white film may develop on the glass front during the first few fires as part of the burn-in period. The glass
should be kept clean during the burn-in period to prevent the film from baking on—making it very difficult to
remove (Cleaning the glass door on Page 62).
Accessing the Control Compartment
Removing the Control Compartment Door
1. Open the lower access panel by pulling at the top of the door.
2. Pull the hinge pin towards the middle of the fireplace to release the access panel and lift it up and away from the
fireplace (Figure 41).

The standard controls for fireplace operation are located in the control compartment, below the glass door (Page
41). Optional control switches are also available.
Millivolt and electronic gas control systems operate differently. Before lighting and operating the fireplace determine
if it is a millivolt or electronic system:
• Millivolt Fireplaces (Figure 1, Page 10)
• Electronic Fireplaces (Figure 2, Page 10)
Familiarize yourself with the gas control valve and the lighting procedure Pages 69-72.
Detailed lighting instructions are found on Pages 69-70. Also, millivolt fireplace lighting instructions are found on
the pull-out lighting instructions attached to the gas control valve.
When the pilot is lit, the main burner can be turned ON/OFF using a wall switch, remote control, optional on-unit
Switch, Rocker (FRS), or wall thermostat.
52
Innovative Hearth Products
Gemini™ Series Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces
If the millivolt fireplace is equipped with an optional remote switch (wall switch, remote control, rocker switch, or
wall thermostat) and the pilot is lit, the fireplace main burner can be turned ON/OFF using the optional switch.
NOTE: Do NOT wire more than one valve to the burner control switch. This will help prevent excessive resistance in
the burner circuit, that can cause burner operation problems.
Electronic Fireplaces
Detailed lighting instructions are found on Pages 71-72. Also, electronic fireplace lighting instructions are found on
the pull-out lighting instructions attached to the gas control valve.
If the electronic fireplace is equipped with an optional remote wall switch or remote control, the fireplace main
burner can be turned ON/OFF with the wall switch or remote control.
If the electronic fireplace is not equipped with a wall switch or remote control, the main burner must be turned ON/
OFF with a gas control switch installed separately. Contact the installer for more information. Check the batteries, if
installed, at least every three (3) months to ensure they are properly charged.
To light the fireplace in a power outage:
1. Confirm that batteries are installed in the battery pack.
2. Set the unit-mounted switch, or wall switch to the ON Position.
3. The unit should spark at the pilot and light.
NOTE: If there is no spark turn unit to off position, replace the
batteries, and repeat steps 1-3 above.
4. Operate the fireplace normally.
Operation
900684-00D 08/2018
Installing the Backup Batteries
With a battery backup, electronic fireplaces can automatically switch to battery power. In the event of a power outage, this
allows ON/OFF operation (without blower functionality). Install new batteries before every burn season.
1. Open the control compartment (Page 52), and locate the battery holder.
2. Install four (4) AA batteries in the battery holder.
3. Close the control compartment door.

Innovative Hearth Products
Gemini™ Series Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces
Continuous Pilot Ignition Switch
Fireplaces with an electronic gas valve have a continuous pilot ignition (CPI) switch installed in the control
compartment.
This switch allows the pilot to be switched from intermittent mode to continuous mode:
• Intermittent Mode—The pilot is extinguished when the fireplace is OFF.
• Continuous Mode—The pilot stays ON when the fireplace is OFF.
In periods of extreme cold, condensation may form on the glass door when the fireplace is OFF and the pilot is in
intermittent mode. Also, with the pilot in intermittent mode, the fireplace may cycle startup (i.e., the pilot and burner ignite,
but the burner extinguishes and reignites several times until the flue reaches the temperature for proper drafting).
• To save energy—switch to intermittent mode.
• For a standing pilot that will help prevent glass door condensation and cycle startup—switch to continuous mode.
NOTE: Continuous mode is indicated by a pilot that comes ON and remains lit when the fireplace is OFF.
Installing the Firebox Liners
1. Remove the three (3) optional firebox liner panels from the packing materials if purchased.
2. Carefully position the rear panel, upper edge first, in the firebox against the rear wall.
3. While holding the rear panel, carefully position the left side panel in the firebox.
4. Carefully position the right side panel in the firebox.
Operation

horizontal termination for debris such as bird nests, leaves, paper or branches. Remove any items from the surfaces of the
termination prior to use. Also be aware of shrubs and plantings that may encroach on the termination.
The fireplace and venting system should be thoroughly inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified
service technician. Inspection should include ensuring that exhaust or intake passages are unobstructed and vent
components are properly assembled and not damaged.
The homeowner must contact a qualified service technician at once if any abnormal condition is observed.
If the venting system is disassembled for any reason, a qualified service technician should follow vent installation
instructions for proper reassembly and proper sealing of the venting system components. However, more frequent
periodic inspections and cleanings should be performed by the homeowner.
Operation
900684-00D 08/2018
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTE: Prior to the first use of the fireplace and each burn season and periodically during the burn season, inspect the
horizontal termination for debris such as bird nests, leaves, paper or branches. Remove any items from the surfaces of
the termination prior to use. Also be aware of shrubs and plantings that may encroach on the termination.
Inspecting the burner flame appearance
Periodically inspect the burner and pilot flame. Ensure that the burner flame appearance resembles the flame shown in
Figure 38 on Page 44 and as described in Flame Appearance and Sooting on Page 43. Any necessary burner flame
adjustments must be performed by qualified personnel only (Page 43). Refer to Page 42 for more information about
the pilot flame appearance. Contact a qualified service technician at once if any abnormal condition is observed.
Cleaning the glass door
Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Never clean the glass when it is hot.
Clean the glass during the Burn-in Period, and then only when necessary and when the fireplace is cool. Wipe the
surface with a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry, soft towel as desired. Take care not to scratch the glass
surface. Periodically, remove any build-up caused by the following:
• During start-up, it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass (this condensation and fog will
usually disappear in a few minutes). The moisture can cause lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the
glass surface.
• Initial curing of the high temperature paint and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process may
result in a film on the glass.
• A white coating may form on the glass as a result of impurities and minerals in the fuel.
Clean the glass two or three times each heating season, depending on the circumstances present. The following
cleaning solutions are approved for use:
• Non-ammonia based glass cleaner
• 50/50 mixture of white vinegar / water
62
• Gas fireplace/stove glass cleaner

Logs
Removing and cleaning the logs
The fiber logs become very fragile after curing.
Operation
900684-00D 08/2018
CAUTION
Carefully remove the logs. Clean carbon from the logs using a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristle brush (e.g., paint brush).
Reinstalling the embers and logs
Carefully follow the placement instructions (Pages 55-59). All logs should fit onto the corresponding pins and/or log
stoppers. This will ensure proper flame and safe combustion.
NOTE: Improper positioning of logs can create carbon build-up and will alter the performance of the fireplace.
Replacing the logs
If the logs become damaged and need replacement, use only the proper replacement logs from manufacturer (Page 75).
Cleaning the burner
Carefully remove the logs/media. Vacuum out any foreign matter on the burner (e.g., lint, carbon, etc.). Ensure the
burner ports are free of debris.
NOTE: Improper positioning of logs/media can create carbon build-up and will alter the performance of the fireplace.
Inspecting the wiring
Refer to the wiring diagrams (Figures 30–32).
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to disconnection. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
CAUTION
ATTENTION
Au moment de l’entretien des commandes, étiquetez tous les fils avant de les débrancher.
Des erreurs de cáblage peuvent entraîner un fonctionnement inadéquat et dangereux.

TROUBLESHOOTING MILLIVOLT SYSTEMS
Before troubleshooting, ensure that the fireplace main line gas shutoff valve and the wall switch are in the ON position. The following
troubleshoots the fireplace only to an elementary level. For detailed remote and ignition system troubleshooting, refer to the
instructions provided with the remote.
Detailed valve system troubleshooting should only be performed by a qualified service technician.
SYMPTOMPOSSIBLE CAUSESCORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Spark igniter will
not light pilot after
repeated triggering of
igniter button.
WARNING: if the
pilot will not light
after 1 minute of
attempting, wait for
at least 5 minutes for
gas to clear before
attempting again.
2. Pilot will not stay
lit after carefully
following the lighting
instructions.
3. Pilot burning, no
gas to burner, Valve
knob “ON,” and the
(standard) burner
OFF/ON switch is ON.
NOTE: If an optional*
remote switch is used
for burner operation,
if the standard burner
OFF/ON switch is still
installed on fireplace
it must be in the OFF
position.
a. Defective igniter (no spark at electrode).Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and
electrode wire is properly connected, replace igniter.
b. Defective or misaligned electrode at pilot
(spark at electrode).
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot
and trigger the igniter button again. If pilot lights, an
improper gas mixture caused the bad lighting and
a longer purge period is recommended. If pilot will
not light – check gap at electrode and pilot – should
be 1/8” to have a strong spark. If gap measures 1/8”,
replace pilot.
c. Gas supply pressure errant.Check inlet gas pressure. It should be within the limits
as marked on the rating plate.
d. Pilot orifice plugged.Clean or replace pilot orifice.
a. Defective pilot generator (thermocouple).Check pilot flame, it must impinge on thermocouple.
Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple. Ensure that the
connection between the valve and thermocouple are
tight and secure.
a. Wall switch or wires defective.Check wall switch and wires for proper connections.
Jumper wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner
comes on, replace defective wall switch. If okay,
jumper wires across wall switch wires at valve, if
burner comes on, wires are faulty or connections are
bad.
b. Thermopile may not be generating
sufficient millivolts.
Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at
thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read 325
millivolts minimum with optional wall switch OFF.
Replace faulty thermopile if reading is below specified
minimum.
c. Plugged burner orifice.Check burner orifice for blockage and remove.
d. OFF/ON Switch and *Remote Switch are
in the “ON” position resulting in excessive
resistance.
When turning on the burner using a *remote switch,
ensure that the standard OFF/ON switch is in the OFF
position. If both switches are in the ON position,
it may result in excessive resistance (and millivolt
drainage) and the burner may not come on.
a. Pilot flame may be too low or blowing
(high) causing the pilot/valve safety to
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple
drop out.
