Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of trafc and away from furni­ture and draperies.

Clothing or other ammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and should
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

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 replace 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.

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance, including glass panels, must
be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

En raison des témperatures élevées, l’appareil devrait être installé dans un endroit où il y a
peu de circulation et loin du mobilier et des tentures.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Positioning the Fireplace

Using a hand truck or other appropriate equipment,
that is rated to handle the weight of the replace
safely move the replace into position. (estimated
weight 1500 lbs)

Determine the location of the appliance to ensure that
the combustion air supply and the ue gas/chimney
pipe connections are to be made as designed. The
appliance is designed to sit either directly on the oor
or to sit on a base designed to support the

weight of the appliance for proper elevation.

If shimming is required to level the appliance due to
uneven surfaces, shimming the perimeter of the base
is the preferred method. Anchor the appliance
adequately to prevent future movement.

Clearance to combustibles:

Top of appliance = 4”

Sides of appliance = 2”

Back of appliance = 2”

Bottom of appliance = 0”

Vent clearance to combustibles:

Class A exhaust ue = 2”

B-vent heat relief venting = 1”

IMPORTANT: Clearances must be in accordance with
local installation codes and the requirements of

the gas supplier.
Les dégagements sont conformes aux codes d’instal­lation locaux et aux exigences du fournisseur de gaz.

Note: The appliance should be positioned in a
manner that planned electrical and gas line access is
available with adequate clearance for servicing.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

SAMPLE

Vent terminal locations to intersecting walls, overhangs or eaves, window openings,

air intakes, above-ground grade or deck shall maintain the clearances specied as shown below.

Vent terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.

Installing the Ventilation

The entire ventilation system, including Class A
exhaust ue, fresh air intakes, and B-Vent heat relief
venting are predetermined on this appliance.
The venting conguration may or may not include any
or all of the following components, depending on de­sign: auto draft control model ADC-100, proven draft
switch model PDS-1, or ventilation fans.

Exhaust Flue: When installing the UL103HT (Class A)

chimney pipe from the replace, it must be attached

securely to the provided anchor plate. Please consult

and follow the manufacturer’s instructions included
with the chimney pipe and supplied with this manual.
If a damper is to be installed in the ue, it must be at a
location that meets the manufacturer’s specications,

and that is serving only the appliance exhaust.

CAUTION: Extreme temperatures if damper is not used!
Combustion air supply: It is always recommended

to minimize any turns or elbows in these supply lines

that would cause restriction.
Heat relief venting: Requires connecting a single

B-Vent ue to a starter collar located and marked on
top of the appliance, running from the top of

the appliance.

Vent Terminal Locations
Vents terminating above roofs, whether at or
pitched, must be a minimum of 12” higher than the
termination, as shown below.

Below drawing: dimensions are located on subsequent

page (p.12).
