5.Vent terminations located below 7 ft (2130 mm) from grade level or anywhere that it is a burn
hazard to the public, such as patios and balconies, must be protected with an approved
termination cage.
POWER CONNECTION
You will need to have an electrician supply 120 volts to the area of the fireplace and
terminate in the junction box inside the unit.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line to the gas fireplace. For
your convenience the appliance has a shut-off valve and flex line installed, check with your local
installation codes if this is to code.
There is an access hole situated under the burner for easier access to the gas valve connection.
(Left side under burner, triangular shaped)
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 1/2 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 1/2 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 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 5 in. w.c. (1.24 kPa) for natural gas and 12.0
in. w.c. (3.00 kPa) for propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in.
w.c. (3.48 kPa) or 1/2 psi. for both natural gas and propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE
PRESSURE.
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

VENT RESTRICTORS FOR TOP VENT INSTALLATIONS
All top vent installations above 20' (6.1 m) require the use of
60% restrictor.
The restrictor is installed in the exhaust of the appliance.
Vent Restrictors
Due to the extra flow produced by certain venting configurations vent restrictors must
be placed in the vent to maintain performance. When your installation requires a vent
restrictor you must remove the flue baffle and install the restrictor in the exhaust box as
shown below. The restrictor is fastened in with 2 screws represented by the dotted
line in the figure below. Once the vent restrictor has been installed the flue baffle must
then be re-installed.
Note: The unit must be cooled to room temperature before installing the restrictor.
Figure 4
Page 20
THE CALDERA
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Cont...
WARNING: A minimum clearance of 1” to combustibles must be maintained
on vertical pipe runs and 2” for horizontal pipe runs (sides and bottom 1”)
The rigid vent systems use twist lock connections. The adaptor attached to the unit
connects to the approved venting system. While you are assembling the pipe bear in mind the
best visual appearance. Seams should be aligned and hidden as much as possible. Make sure
you twist the mating section all the way to make a solid connection.
Note: As this system is a sealed system, a high temperature sealing compound must be
used to seal the metal to metal joint.
Apply a bead of high temperature sealant to both the 4”
exhaust and 6-5/8” intake section of the male pipe. The
female section of the pipe/fitting has four indentations
evenly spaced around the pipe. These indentations are
designed to slide over the male section of the pipe and
locate into the four entry slots of the male section of pipe.
Twist the female section clockwise a quarter turn to fully
lock the sections together.
High
Temperature
Sealant
(Mil-Pac / RTV)
Horizontal Wall Vent Terminations
The position of the horizontal vent termination must be positioned to meet all local building
codes (see termination chart on page 45).
Attach the correct length of vertical section pipe and an elbow fitting to the stove.
Mark the center line of the pipe facing the wall (allowing for a 1/4” rise per foot of horizontal
run). Example 10 ft of horizontal would require a rise of 2.5”.
NOTE: ALLOWING THE VENT PIPE TO SLOPE DOWN TOWARDS THE VENT
TERMINATION COULD CAUSE POOR COMBUSTION AND/OR HIGH TEMPERTURES
THAT MAY PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD. Mark a 10” x 10” square around the center mark
(inside dimensions).
Cut and frame the exterior wall to accept the wall penetration heat shield. Install the
penetration shield using wood screws. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material a 7” hole sufficient for the vent pipe, is acceptable.
Caution: When installing the termination on to vinyl siding, a vinyl siding kit must be
used. This prevents the termination from being recessed into the siding.
When the termination is to be attached to vinyl siding apply a bead of non-hardening mastic
around the outside edge to form a seal between the standoff and the termination cap. Attach
the termination cap to the exterior wall inserting four wood screws through the holes in the
corner of the vent termination. Complete the installation by applying a bead of mastic around
the outer edge of the vinyl standoff.
With the termination cap installed you can now connect the completed vent assembly by
sliding the unit back towards the wall and carefully inserting the pipe into the terminal. Before
the final connection is made slide on the decorative wall thimble. Secure the termination cap by
securing the termination straps to the pipe as close to the exterior wall as possible using sheet
metal screws. Ensure that the straps are hidden by the wall thimble cover. Apply decorative
trim if required.

THE CALDERA
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Cont...
Vertical Installations
Always maintain the 1” clearance around the vent pipe (vertical), when passing through
ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters or any combustible surfaces.
DO NOT PACK AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION.
Refer to the vent chart for maximum allowable vertical and horizontal installations.
When planning your installation determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will
obstruct the vent system. You may have to use 45° elbows to navigate around any obstacles.
When passing through a flat ceiling install a Box/Wall thimble. Cut a 10” square hole and frame
as shown in the diagram opposite.
Ensure all pipe sections are fully twist locked.
NOTE: ALWAYS CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODES BEFORE INSTALLING VENTING.

MAINTENANCE
PLATING:
1. The plating requires little maintenance and needs only to be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Do not
use any abrasive cleaning materials.
2. Avoid fingerprints on gold. Wipe off fingerprints before firing.
DOOR :
Check the gasket to see that it is still forming a seal. Replace gasket if there is any sign of wear.
VIEWING GLASS REPLACEMENT:
This appliance is supplied with high temperature 5mm high temperature ceramic glass that will easily
withstand the heat your unit was designed to produce. In the event the glass breaks, contact your dealer
or BLAZE KING to arrange for your glass to be replaced / repaired (see page 12).
IMPORTANT - GLASS CLEANING - WHITE MINERAL DEPOSITS
One of the byproducts of the combustion process in a gas appliance, is a mineral which can show up as
a white film on the ceramic glass of the viewing door. The composition of the deposit varies widely from
various locations and also from time to time in the same location. You may have the problem for a time
and then not see it for many months when it will reappear in your area. It seems this is associated with
the varying sulfur content of the gas. We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass manufacturers
and they cannot give us a definitive answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products
with varying results. The following recommendations will not guarantee results in your particular case.
Ensure the stove is completely cooled before you change the bulb. Make sure switch on the
Battery pack / Receiver is in OFF position.
Turning the electric supply off will not prevent unexpected ignition !!
1. Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the buildup (white film). If the film is left for a long
period of time build up will bake on. It is then much harder, if not impossible, to remove.
2. NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the
immediate effect of lessening the strength of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
3. Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth.
Most paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
4. Our dealers have had good results from the products listed below. We can not however guarantee
the results of these products.
a) BRASSO b) POLISH PLUS by KEL KEM
c) COOK TOP CLEAN CREME by ELCO d) WHITE OFF by RUTLAND
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Blaze King’s control and is
not covered under warranty.
NOTICE: COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When using any gas appliance (LPG or NAT Gas) water is a byproduct of the combustion process.
Under normal conditions this moisture is expelled through the vent into the atmosphere and does not
cause any harm. In extreme cold weather the vapor may condense and freeze on any exposed surface
it comes into contact with. This can cause a problem by restricting or blocking the vent, particularly with
direct vent wall terminations as the exhaust is only a few inches away from the outside wall surface.
What happens to the moisture after it leaves the vent cannot be controlled by the manufacturer. To
extend the vent further out from the wall can sometimes but not always be an advantage. Extending the
vent out from the wall may present other design problems such as ice falling from the eaves above. It is
the homeowners responsibility to ensure that there is not an excessive build-up of ice on the termination.
CAUTION: WHEN OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE DURING COLD WEATHER YOU MUST
FREQUENTLY CHECK THE EXHAUST CAP FOR EXCESSIVE ICE BUILD UP.
If the appliance begins to operate abnormally—Poor flame pattern, shutting down, etc…, this could be
an indication of ice build up.
