IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or
cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace
heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor
the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least six
(6) the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been installed,
place fan in the "OFF" position during this time.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or oil fired appliances, and the products of
combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
and other reproductive harm.
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6
Insert Applications
Before installing the gas fireplace insert consideration
must be given to the functioning needs of the fireplace.
The size of the fireplace cavity, the design of the chimney

NOTE: (Fig. 1)
* When you install your fireplace in (D) Room divider or (E)
Flat on wall corner positions, a minimum of 6” (X) (153mm)
clearance must be maintained from the perpendicular wall
and the outer edge of the trim.
Mantels
When the unit is installed into a woodburning fireplace,
the minimum distance the mantel can be placed above
the fireplace is governed by local building codes applicable to woodburning fireplaces. Consult local authorities having jurisdiction for these clearances.
For applications requiring the use of a Zero Clearance
Kit, the minimum height a mantel can be installed above
the fireplace is 24" (610 mm) from the top of the upper
louvres. The maximum mantel depth is 8" (203 mm).
(Fig. 2)
The underside of the mantel will become
warm. Use only finishes which are heat
resistant and do not discolor.
Framing & Finishing
For Zero Clearance Kit applications, it is important to
determine the finished facing material before beginning
to frame. This will allow for the thickness of the finishing
material between the frame and the fireplace trim.
Similarly, consideration must be given to the 1" inch
depth of the air inlet channel sitting on the fireplace
base. Finishing material for the hearth should be flush
with the top of the air inlet channel.
If the fireplace is installed at floor level a noncombustible hearth must extend a minimum 12" (305 mm) in
front of the fireplace.
If the fireplace is recessed into the wall and at least 12"
(305 mm) above floor level, no hearth is required.
A 3” diameter (for A125) or 4” diameter (for A132)
Class ‘B’ vent must be used when installing the fire
place insert along with the Zero Clearance Kit. The vent
system must be a minimum height of 12’ (3.7 m)
The use of wallpaper adjacent to this fireplace is not recommended as high temperatures given off by this fireplace may
adversely effect the binders in the adhesive used to apply the wallpaper.

Combustion Air
It is very important that an adequate air supply is
available when the unit is being operated. Since most
homes of today are tightly sealed and insulated, additional make-up air is usually necessary.
This fireplace has been designed to operate by drawing
air in from the front and outer perimeters of the fire
place. The air provides combustion air ensuring a clean
burning flame, dilution air for proper venting, as well
as the air which the fan circulates over the firebox/heat
exchanger system.
NOTE: Insulating around the fireplace will result in
overheating and possible malfunctioning of the circulating fan.
-
Zero Clearance Applications
An alternate air supply is recommended
with this component.
For installation other than in existing woodburning fireplaces such as new construction or renovation projects,
a Zero Clearance Kit must be used. The kit enables
these inserts to be installed in combustible environments. Whenever using a Zero Clearance Kit, consideration must be given to the dimensions of the Zero
Clearance Kit and the requirements of the Air Kit when
planning out the installation.

Preparation
Before beginning, remove glass door and logs from
unit. Also check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the unit. Take a minute and plan out the gas,
venting and electrical route. It is best to start with the
gas line first followed by the chimney liner. (Refer to
Page 8)
Gas Line Installation
When purging the gas line, the front glass
must be removed.
If gas piping from the source to the heater location
has not been accomplished, install the required pipe.
Consult local plumbing code to assure proper pipe size.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear or
the base of the heater.
NOTE: The gas line connection can be made of either
properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 3/8" rigid pipe or
an approved flex connector then reduced to 3/8" to
the heater. Some municipalities have additional local
codes, it is always best to consult your local authority
and the CSA- B149.1 installation code.
U.S. Installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
The gas control inlet is 3/8” N.P.T. therefore the 1/2”
rigid gas line must be reduced to 3/8” N.P.T. A typical
installation layout for rigid pipe is shown in Figure 4.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an
open flame for leak testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw
type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to
provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

WARNING
This fireplace has been converted for use with
gas only and cannot be used for burning wood
or solid fuels unless all original parts have been
replaced and the fireplace has been re-approved
by the authority having jurisdiction.
Cutting any sheet metal parts of the fire-
place, in which the gas fireplace insert is
to be installed, is prohibited.
Ensure there are no obstructions to side
air passages of decorative trim once in-
stalled on insert.
WARNING
Some factory built fireplaces have air passages
on face of fireplace for zero clearance capabilities. All trim kits are designed so as to allow airflow to these passages. Under no circumstances
should these passages be blocked.
1. Gas inserts are designed for recessed
installations into solid fuel masonry or factory built
noncombustible fireplaces that have been installed
in accordance with the National, Provincial, State
and local building codes.
2. Measure for minimum fireplace opening requirement
on Page 4 of this installation manual. (If firebrick
[refractory] is removed from a factory built
fireplace in order to gain minimum gas fireplace
insert opening requirements, a minimum of 1/4"
(6 mm) air space is required between the gas
insert fireplace's outer casing and the inner wall
of the factory built fireplace).
3. To assure top performance, safety and efficiency,
all inserts must be installed with an approved 4"
diameter flue liner, with exception of A125, which
should be installed with an approved 3" liner,as per
CSA-B.149 or National Fuel Code ANSI Z223/NFPA
54.
4. Flue damper must be fully blocked in the open
position or removed for installation.
5. The chimney must be clean and in good working
order and constructed of noncombustible materials.
6. Make sure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly so
air cannot leak into the chimney.
7. Glass door, screen kits and log grate may be
removed for installation of insert into factory built
fireplace.
8. Install the insert without the trim frame and make all
gas, venting and electrical connections.
9. Install decorative trim frame. Please refer to Frame
Assembly and Mounting instructions In this manual.

Gas Fireplace Insert
Common Flue Installations
In some areas it is possible to vent more than one gas
fireplace into the same flue. You must ensure the flue
being shared has the proper capacity to handle both
fireplaces. Check installation codes for venting capacity
information.
As always it is best to check with the authority having
jurisdiction prior to commencement of the installation.
Liner Installation
Insert liner from top of chimney through the damper
opening and attach to 3" flue collar (for A125); 4" flue
collar (for A132). For best results use three (3) sheet
metal screws and a hose clamp.
For natural draft inserts, packing fibreglass insulation
around the liner in the damper area will isolate the fireplace cavity from the chimney and prevent drafts and
noises during operation.
In case the fireplace opening is only minimum height
(17¹⁄₂" for A125) (20" for A132) and access from the
front is not possible, remove the flue collar plate - unscrew and slide out from the back of the unit. Now
attach the liner to the flue collar, lift up and simply slide
flue collar plate back onto the unit top. It is important
the plate is completely inserted and the front screw is
fastened again in order to line up the flue outlet and the
liner properly. (Fig. 10)
If fireplace lintel is wider than 8" (203 mm),
the height of the fireplace opening must
be 25" (635 mm) to allow for a 90° offset
elbow to be installed.
