Floor Protection Requirements

¥ When the stove is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other than

wood flooring, the stove must be installed on a metal or wood protection panel extending the full width and depth of the pedestal (Minimum 24-1/2" wide by 20" deep).

Stove Placement Requirements & Clearances

¥ The stove must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the stove and vent ¥ Due to the high temperature of the stove, it should be located out of traffic and away from furniture

and draperies. Stove must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" of the front of the stove (e.g. drapes, doors)

¥ The stove must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of stove, or along

the back of the stove can become blocked.

Alcoves

When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet , the installation is considered an alcove and must meet the following requirements:

¥ The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 58" tall ¥ The alcove must not be more than 48" deep (before the ceiling returns to 7 feet) ¥ The alcove must be a minimum of 44-1/2" wide

Minimum Clearances

PAGE 12 INSTALLATION (CONT.)

Gas Line Installation

! The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI Z223.1

and the requirements listed below.

! The stove and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any

pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.

¥ The gas line must be properly purged to release all air in the gas line prior to starting the stove. ! We recommend you purge the gas line with the glass removed. This allows gas to be detected once

it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.

¥ Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the stove.

Fuel

¥ This stove is designed either for natural gas or

for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.

Gas Line Connection

¥ The gas inlet accepts a 3/8" F.P.T. Fitting ¥ The location of the gas inlet is shown below ¥ A manual shutoff valve is required for

installation (it must be located within 3' of the stove)

12-5/8"

4-5/8"1-1/2"

Gas Inlet Pressure

¥ With the stove off, the inlet pressure must meet the requirements listed in the table below ? If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough and the total gas load for

the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.

? The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank)

should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed below. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.

Minimum Input Pressure Natural Gas 7" W.C. Propane 11" W.C.

Manifold Pressure

¥ Gas pressure downstream of the valve may only be checked by removing the manifold pressure tap

with a 3/16" allen wrench (1/8" N.P.T. plug). If the manifold pressure does not match the pressure listed in the table below, check the inlet gas pressure and correct the problem.

Manifold Pressure on HI Natural Gas 3.5" W.C. Propane 11" W.C.

INSTALLATION (CONT.) PAGE 13

Vent Requirements

! Always maintain the required 1" clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire

hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.

! The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never

be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system.

! If the stove is installed at an

altitude over 3,000 feet the flame quality will need to be carefully evaluated. See Addendum #1, "Altitude Considerations", on page 38.

¥ When the vent passes through

a wall, a wall thimble is required. When the vent passes through a ceiling, a support box or firestop is

Use a roof flashing and storm collar whenever passing through the roof (Duravent Part #953 & #943 or #943S)

We recommend the use of the high wind cap (# 991).

Acceptable Vent Configurations

Restrictor Position

¥ A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This insures

proper flames for the wide variety of vent configurations. The restrictor consists of a butterfly valve below the starter section of pipe and an adjustment plate with index holes used to hold the valve in a fixed position. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for acceptable vent configurations describe which position the vent restrictor must be in.

Cutaway view of the back of the stove with the rear panel removed

To Access the Restrictor:

Remove the rear panel. The adjustment plate is on the right side (when looking from the rear) of the starter section of vent.

To Adjust the Restrictor:

Determine which position the restrictor should be in (see the charts under "Acceptable Vent Configurations" - the stock position is #1).

Remove the screw with a 1/4" nutdriver (or screwdriver).

Rotate the adjustment plate clockwise until the correct index hole is above the pivot point.

! Leak test all gas line joints leading to the gas control valve. Correct any leaks. Start the pilot flame

and main burners (see the directions on page 25 & 26 if uncertain). Leak test all gas line joints leading from the gas control valve to the burner pan. Correct any leaks. Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be a between 8" and 11". Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. Turn the main burner off and check the pilot flame to make sure it burns correctly (see the picture on page 28).

INSTALLATION (CONT.) PAGE 23

¥ Let the stove burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct

looking flame (see the illustration below). The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes. It is used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.

Locate the air shutter adjustment lever behind the gas control valve. Move it up or down until the flame looks correct. Pushing up gives the flame more air (making it bluer). Pulling it down cuts air down, making it more orange.

NOTE: If the air control is all the way up, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact a qualified gas service technician.

PAGE 28 MAINTAINING YOUR HEATER

Maintaining Your Stove's Appearance

! The enameled surfaces may chip if struck. Damaged surfaces may be repaired using the enamel touch-up paint available

from Your Dealer

! Fingerprints or other marks left on the gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to

turning the stove on. Clean the surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth.

¥ Enameled surfaces may be cleaned with a soft rag and water. Do not use any other cleaning materials.

Yearly Service Procedure

! Failure to inspect and maintain the stove may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. We

recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

1 Check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and engulf the top of the

thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.

2 Shut off gas to the stove by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page 25). Let

the stove cool for 15 minutes. Remove the door (see page 6) and glass (see page 20).

3 Remove the log set (see page 21). If any log is cracked or deteriorated, replace it when re-installing. Check the logs for

sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the stove will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4 Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:

¥ Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded. ¥ Make sure the burner pan assembly fits flat against the floor of the firebox. ¥ Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.

If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.

Before dissassembly, check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8" of the thermopile and engulf the top of the thermocouple.

Thermopile

Check the burner holes and slots.

Thermocouple

Make sure the burner pan seals against the floor of the firebox.

Burner Pan

Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for deterioration.

5 Replace the log set. Replace the glass (use a new gasket - if the glass is damaged, replace it). Make sure the gasket

along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.

6 Inspect the area behind the control cover. Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage is found,

discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.

7 Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If

the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower operation. If it makes excessive noise, contact your dealer for an evaluation.

8 Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found

near the vent termination.

How this Stove Works

! This stove was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this

stove are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this stove.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This stove uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount of electricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generates electricity when heated by the pilot flame. This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turn on. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the thermopile generates the electricity needed to turn the stove on and off, this stove can be operated when the power is out (although the blower will not run).

When heated, the thermopile generates electricity (a very small amount, measured in "Millivolts").

This electricity is used to operate the main burners.

The main burners are switched on and off using the electricity generated

by the thermopile. The ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat control the circuit to the main burner.

What Prevents Gas Buildup

+ This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no

gas builds up inside the firebox.

+ While the main burner is off the thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit.

If the pilot flame goes out, this thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas to the stove, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.

+ While the main burner is on the pilot flame insures all gas ignites inside the firebox.

Pilot Flame

The pilot flame is a time-proven component that eliminates the possibility of gas buildup inside the firebox.

Gas Valve

This high-technology valve automatically shuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal from the thermocouple. If any component is damged or sensing a malfunction, or if the wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.

VENT

OFF

PILOT ADJ

External Shut Off Valve

This valve is placed on the gas line to shut off gas to the appliance during maintenance procedures.

Therocouple

The thermocouple generates a small amount of electricity. If the pilot flame goes out, the gas valve automatically shuts off all gas.

Ceramic Glass

The glass in your heater is the most durable glass available. It has been tested to be extremely resistant to breakage and temperature changes.

ADDENDUM PAGE 37

ADDENDUM #1 Altitude Considerations

This stove has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet. In this research, we have found that the stove, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment. This testing, however, does not guarantee that every installation will work correctly. Compounding forces, including gas BTU level, vent configuration, ambient temperature and altitude, may lead to improper combustion inside the stove. For those stoves that burn excessively tall (flames touch the firebox ceiling) or sooty, additional modifications may be necessary. Contact your dealer for instructions.

! Failure to remedy incorrect combustion may lead to an extreme safety hazard or decreased durability

of the stove.

ADDENDUM #2 Class A Chimney Conversion Kit

Simpson Duravent provides a conversion kit for those wishing to use an existing wood stove chimney to vent this direct vent stove. The illustration below gives an overview of this type of installation. See the instructions included with the kit for details.

! The conversion kit does not work on "thru-the-wall" chimney systems. ! Do not exceed the maximum vertical rise (see the section "Acceptable Vent Configurations"

starting on page 16) allowable. Remember to set the restrictor position to the correct position

(based upon the vertical rise height - see the chart on page 16).
