COMBUSTION & VENTILATION
AIR PROVISIONS
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be ‘finished’, (i.e. drywall/sheetrock) as would any other outside wall of the home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defi nes a confi ned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfi ned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors are considered a part of the unconfi ned space.
3
per kW) of the aggregate
The CVF36 is rated at 30,000BTUs per hour and therefore requires a minimum unconfined space of 1,500 cubic feet.
DETERMINING CONFINED OR UNCON-
FINED SPACE
To determine the volume of the room where the heater is to be installed, multiply the width x the length x the ceiling height of that room measured in feet. If any adjoining rooms are con­nected by grills or openings such as kitchen pass-throughs, etc., the volume of those rooms may be added to the total.
Multiply the room volume by 1000 and divide this amount by 50 to determine the maximum Btu/hr that the space can support with adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Add the Btu/hr of all fuel burning appliances located within the space such as gas furnace, gas water heater, etc. Do not include direct vent gas appliances which draw their input and output air from and to the outdoors.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defi ned as an unconfi ned space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods de­scribed in the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, Section
5.3 or the applicable local code.
ROOM 2
ROOM 1
HEIGHT
LENGTH
Room Volume = Length x Width x Height Max BTU/hr = Room Volume x 1000 ÷ 50
EXAMPLE 1 EXAMPLE 2
In this example, because there is no door to the adjoining room, the volume of the adjoining room may be added to the volume of the room with the heater to get a total unconfi ned
space.
The total unconfi ned space: 800 + 1200 = 2000 cubic feet.
Maximum BTU/h:
If there are no more fuel burning appliances within this space then the 30,000 BTU/h input of the fi replace is suitable to be installed. This also assumes that the construction of this space is not unusually tight.
2000 x 1000
= 40,000 BTU/h

WIDTH
FIGURE 1
If for example, the length of the rooms is 10 feet, the width of Room 1 is 10 feet, the width of Room 2 is 15 feet the height of the rooms is 8 feet.
The volume of Room 1: 10 x 10 x 8 = 800 cubic feet.
The volume of Room 2: 10 x 15 x 8 = 1200 cubic feet.
If in this example a solid door separates Room 1 from Room 2, the volume of Room 2 could not be used. In this case the maximum BTU/h would be:
Maximum BTU/h:
This would be considered a confi ned space since it can not support the 30,000BTU/h input of the heater and it would be necessary to provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to Room 1.

= 16,000 BTU/h

Unusually tight construction is defined as con­struction where:
a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapour retarder with a rating of 1 perm (6 x 10 gasketed or sealed, and
b) Weather stripping has been added on openable win­dows and doors, and
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and fl oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.
An unvented room heater is recommended for use as a secondary heat source rather than as a primary source. Gas combustion produces water vapour which could occur at the rate of approximately one ounce of water for every 1,000 BTU/hr of gas input. During the cold weather season, indoor humidity levels tend to be low. Consequently, this water vapour can enhance the living space. However if a problem should occur:
a) ensure suffi cient combustion and circulation air
b) use a dehumidifi er
c) do not use the unvented room heater as a primary
heat source
Without suffi cient fresh air for proper operation, poor fuel combustion can result. Carbon Monoxide is a result of poor combustion.
If additional fresh air is required, use one of the meth- ods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or the applicable local code.

Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the fi replace but must not cover any of the black face-areas of the fi replace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fi replace system.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to accom­modate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative fl ashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fi replace should be kept a minimum of 4 feet away from the front face.
NAILING TAB INSTALLATION
To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall, position the framework to ac­commodate the thickness of the fi nished wall. Bend out the four nailing tabs, attached on either side of the fi replace and secure to the 2x4 framing. The tabs will facilitate the installation of either a wall thickness. The nailing
tabs must not be removed.

8. Depress and hold gas knob while lighting the pilot with the push button igniter. Keep knob fully depressed for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue to burn repeat steps 3 through 7.
9. With pilot lit, turn gas knob counter-clockwise to on. When the pilot has been turned off, ignition of the main burner may be delayed from 1-2 minutes.
When the pilot has been left burning, ignition of the main
burner should occur almost immediatley.
10. If equipped with remote on-off switch, main burner may not come on when you turn the valve to on. Remote switch must be in the on position to ignite burner.
11. Turn on all electric power to the fi replace.

MAINTENANCE
TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER
BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic­ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This heater should be inspected and serviced before use and at least an­nually by a qualifi ed service person. The fi replace area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other fl ammable vapours and liquids. The fl ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and oxygen deple­tion sensor system, remove the logs to expose both as­semblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuum­ing or brushing, at least once a year.
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burn­ing properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot fl ame is large enough to engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and promptly ignites the main burner.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on
all openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5 to 10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Continental® dealer / distributor.
OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR PILOT
CLEANING
This procedure must be performed by a qualified
service person!
Inspect the pilot for any visible contamination or debris (usually lint, pet hair, spider webs, carpet fi bre, etc.) and remove.
7
Disconnect the pilot from the pilot tubing line. Using a wrench, remove the injector from the pilot housing. Blow out the housing in the same direction as the gas fl ow.
Re-install the injector and the pilot tube, turn on the gas and check for leaks.
If this does not improve the performance, replace the pilot with an exact replacement. The device is tamper resistant with no fi eld serviceable parts.

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT
Air shutter adjustment must only be done by a quali-
fi ed gas installer!
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow fl ame, but can lead to carboning.
WARNING: Carbon can be distributed in surrounding living area if the air shutter is improperly adjusted.
Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue fl ame, but can cause fl ame lifting from the burner ports. The fl ame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the fi nal fl ame colour to be established.
Opening the air shutter will also reduce exhaust odours smelled within the room. See Trouble Shooting Guide.

SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION
Pilot goes out while standing; Main burner is in ‘OFF’ position.
Main burner will not light, or is slow to light; noisy pilot.
Flames are consist­ently too large or too small. Carbon­ing occurs.
Carbon is being de­posited on logs or combustion cham­ber surfaces.
Exhaust fumes smelled in room, headaches.
Gas piping is undersized. - turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot fl ame fl utters, diminishes or
extinguishes, especially when main burner ignites. Monitor appliance supply working pressure.
- check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized piping.
Inlet pressure too high.
Pilot fl ame blowing off, miss­ing thermopile.
Unit is over-fi red or under­fi red.
Air shutter has become blocked
Flame is impinging on the logs or combustion cham­ber.
Not enough combustion air.
Not enough ventilation air.
Adjust inlet pressure to ensure maximum 7.0” W.C. at gas valve for Natural gas and 13.0” W.C. for Propane.
- check pressure readings: Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clockwise
2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the test point. Check with burner operating on “HI”. Gauge should read 7” (minimum
4.5”) water column for natural gas or 13” (11” minimum) water column for propane.
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B). Check with burner operating on “HI”. Gauge should read 3.5” water column for natural gas or 10” water column for propane.
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO NOT OVERTORQUE.
