GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
propane. When the fi replace is installed at elevations above
2,000ft, and in the absence of specifi c recommendations
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certifi ed high
altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for
each additional 1,000ft.
W415-0298 / K / 12.06.07
Suitable for mobile home installation where the mobile
home has been permanently placed on its site. This heater must not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.
This fireplace may be installed in an aftermarket permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where
not prohibited by local codes.
This fireplace is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This fireplace is not convertible
for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5“ water column for
natural gas and 11“ water column for propane. Maximum
inlet gas pressure is 7“ water column for natural gas and
13“ water column for propane. Manifold pressure under fl ow
conditions is 3.5“ water column for natural gas and 10“ water
column for propane.
CARE OF PLATED PARTS
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required
for the gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and are to be expected.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth.
This heater is equipped with a pilot light safety
system referred to as an OXYGEN DEPLETION
SENSOR and is designed to turn off the heater
if not enough fresh air is available.
Use only accessories designed for and
listed with your specifi c fi replace.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY
LEAD TO DEATH
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resem-
ble the fl u, with headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not
be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have
heater serviced.
Some people---pregnant women, persons with heart
or lung disease, anaemia, those under the infl uence
of alcohol, those at high altitudes--- are more af-
fected by carbon monoxide than others.
Ceiling fans or oscillating type fl oor fans can cause fl ame
impingement if directing air at the fi replace. Impinging
fl ames will cause soot or carbon that may enter into living
area. Try reversing ceiling fan or re-directing fl oor fans to
prevent sooting.

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 1EXAMPLE 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.

4. When fl exing any gas line, support the gas valve so
that the lines are not bent or kinked.
5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.
OPTIONAL WALL SWITCH
INSTALLATION
For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch may
be installed in a convenient location. A 20’ length of millivolt
wire is connected to the gas valve for the wall switch. However if a greater length is required route 2-strand (solid core)
millivolt wire through the electrical hole located at the bottom
left side of the unit. The recommended maximum lead length
depends on wire size:

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

GLOWING EMBERS
Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row
of ports covering all of the burner area in front of the small
logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the embers
into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges of
the fi bre hairs will glow. The ember material will only glow
when exposed to direct flame; however, care should be
taken to not block the burner ports.
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect fl ame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct fl ame. Use only certifi ed “glowing
embers” and PHAZERTM logs available from your Continental® dealer.

A. This fi replace is equipped with a pilot which must be
lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the fi replace area for
gas and next to the fl oor because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the fl oor.
C. Use only your hand to push in and turn the gas control
knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in and
turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualifi ed service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fi re
or explosion.
D. Do not use this fi replace if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the
fi replace and replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process and will not occur again.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace
may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by
dust particles burning off. In both cases, open a window
to sufficiently ventilate the room.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fi re department.

from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed.
1. STOP! Read the above safety information on this label.
2. Set the thermostat to lowest setting.
3. Turn off all electric power to the fi replace.
4. Open the control door. Turn the gas knob clockwise
to off.
5. Wait fi ve (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas including near the fl oor, STOP! Follow “B” in the
above safety information on this label. If you don’t smell
gas go to the next step.
6. Find pilot located in front of the back log.
7. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
TO TURN OFF GAS
1. Turn off all electric power to the fi replace if service is to
be performed.
OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR
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.

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.

SYMPTOMPROBLEMTEST 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.
Leak test with a soap and water solution.
