aiR shutteR:
The air shutter adjustment lever is on the right hand side of the venturi box (see Figure 3).
The air shutter allows the amount of air coming into the replace to be adjusted in order to accommodate
different climates and venting arrangements. Start the pilot and then the burner. Make sure the pilot
ame is burning normally and none of the burner ports are plugged. Let the replace burn for roughly
fteen minutes and then examine the ames.
The ideal ame will be blue at the base and light orange above. The ames should be of medium
height. If the ames look like this, no venturi adjustment is needed. If the ames are fairly short and
mostly blue, the replace is getting too
much air. Therefore, the air shutter
should be closed (pulled out) slightly
until the correct ames are achieved.
Flames that are very orange, with tall,
dark, stringy tips, are not getting enough
air. Open (push in) the venturi until the
ames clean up. If the venturi is opened,
or closed all the way, and the correct
ames cannot be attained, turn off the
gas and contact the dealer.

Low Battery Power Detection
Transmitter: The life span of the remote control
batteries depends on various factors: quality of
the batteries used, the number of ignitions of
the appliance, the number of changes to the
room thermostat set point, etc. When the
Transmitter batteries are low, a Battery Icon will
appear on the LCD display of the Transmitter
(see Figure 15) before all battery power is lost.
When the batteries are replaced this Icon will
disappear.
IFC: The life span of the IFC batteries depends on
various factors during a prolonged power outage:
quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions
of the appliance, the number of changes to the room
thermostat set point etc. When the IFC batteries are
low, No “beep” will be emitted when it receives an
On/Off command from the Transmitter. This is an
alert for a low battery condition for the IFC. When the
batteries are replaced the “beep” will be emitted from
the Receiver when the ON/OFF Key is pressed (See

Maintenance And Service
Routine maintenance:
At least once a year, run through the following procedures to ensure the system is clean and working
properly. Check the burner to see if all the ports are clear and clean. Check the pilot to make sure it is not
blocked by anything. The pilot ame should be blue with little or no yellow on the tips.
Warning: Clearances must be sufcient to allow access for maintenance and service
Warning: Failure to position the parts in accordance with this manual, or failure to use only parts
specically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
The venting system must be periodically examined; it is recommended the examination is done by a
qualied agency.
cLeaning the gLass:
When the replace has cooled, remove the face of the replace along with the glass. See maIntenance
and serVIce - glass door remoVal. Check the gasket material on the back of the glass, making sure that
it is attached and intact.
During a cold start up, condensation will sometimes form on the glass. This is a normal condition with all
replaces. However, this condensation can allow dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Initial paint
curing of the appliance can leave a slight lm behind the glass, a temporary problem. The glass will need
cleaning about two weeks after installation. Use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners will damage the glass and painted surfaces. Depending on the amount of use, the glass
should require cleaning no more than two or three times a season. Do not clean the glass when it is
hot.
cLeaning the fiRebox:
Remove all of the glass media from the tray, a vacuum cleaner with an empty canister or new bag works
best. At this time, inspect the burner tray for cracking or severe warping. If a problem is suspected,
contact the dealer. Check the glass media for large amounts of soot; a small amount on the bottom side
of the glass is normal. Re-install the glass as in the secondary InstallatIon - glass medIa InstallatIon
section. If new or glass is required, contact your nearest ENVIRO dealer.
RepLacingthe gLass:
The door glass in the replace is a high temperature ceramic. If the glass is damaged in any way,
a factory replacement is required (see Parts lIst). Wear gloves when handling damaged glass door
assembly to prevent personal injury. Do not operate with the glass front removed, cracked or broken.
Removal and replacement of the glass from the door must be done by a licensed or qualied service
person. The glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute materials are allowed. Remove the door (see page 11). The replacement glass will come with a new gasket installed.
Remove any silicone remnants from the door. Apply high temperature silicone to the two vertical faces
of the door and install the new piece of glass with gasket (be sure to maintain edge clearances). Apply
even pressure to the glass to allow the silicone to adhere to the gasket material.
14
Maintenance And Service
cLeaning DecoRative suRfaces:
Painted and porcelain faces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically. If a plated face has been
purchased, it should be unpacked/unwrapped carefully to avoid getting anything on the surface of the
nish, including cleaners, polish and nger prints. It is important to note that ngerprints and other
marks can leave a permanent stain on plated nishes. To avoid this, give the face a quick wipe with denatured alcohol on a soft cloth BEFORE lighting the replace. Never clean the face when it is
hot. Do not use other cleaners as they may leave a residue, which can become permanently etched into
the surface.

WARNING: This appliance has been designed to draw room air for proper heat circulation
from the bottom of the unit, and out the top front. Blocking or modifying these openings in
any way can create hazardous situations.
The vent length for the Q1GI must be between 7” (18 cm) and 44ft (13.4 m). This model is vented
with co-axial 4” intake, 6 5/8” exhaust aluminum or stainless steel approved rigid vent leading into a
vertical or horizontal termination cap. The ue collar of this model will t inside of a standard 4” x 6
5/8” vent and must be either correctly interlocked or fastened, with three screws directly to the vent.
The Q1GI may also be converted to a replace insert with the use of a co-linear vent adapter kit (50-
2982) see InItIal InstallatIon - co-lInear VentIng adaPter KIt. When converted to co-linear venting
the lenth of vent must be between 8’ (2.44m) and 40’ (12.19m). The insert model is vented with
a 3” intake and a 3” exhaust aluminum or stainless steel approved ex vent leading into a vertical
termination cap only. The ue collars of this model will t inside of a standard 3” vent
and must be fastened directly to the vent with three screws. The exhaust vent and air intake are both
located on the top of the unit.
Check periodically that the vents are unrestricted. Also ensure that all direct vent pipes have been
properly sealed and installed after routine inspection or cleaning. The air intake and exhaust pipes must
be installed in the correct locations on the top of the Q1GI.
venting fiRepLace inseRts:
When using the co-linear venting adapter kit (50-2982) the Q1GI may be installed and vented into any
solid fuel replace that has been installed in accordance with the National, Provincial/State and local
building codes and has been constructed of noncombustible materials. Please reference the information
in Table 8 and Figures 38. An approved chimney liner and rain cap must be used. A throat connector or
ashing must be installed to ensure a tight seal, top performance, safety and efciency. Carefully follow
the manufacturer’s instructions that accompany the chimney liner kit. Use double walled aluminum
ex vent (3” ex conversion piece and 4”x 6 5/8” cap) from the following approved products; Simpson
Dura-Vent (Direct Vent GS). If necessary, remove the vent collar plate from the top of the insert and
connect it securely to the liner with sheet metal screws. Check for any tears in the liner at this point.
IMPORTANT: The screws that hold the vent collar plate in its approved position must be installed.
NOTE: If the Q1GI unit is pulled out of its installation, and the vent-air intake system is disconnected
for any reason, ensure that the vent-air intake pipes are re-sealed with high-temperature sealant and

A 10” (254 mm) x 10” (254 mm) frame (see Figure 28) will assure the proper support and spacing for
the vent pipe as it passes through the wall. Installations in Canada require that a wall thimble be used for
passing through walls and ceilings. All sealing and vapour barriers must comply with local building codes.
The conguration of the venting pipes depends on the locations
of walls, ceilings, and studs. However, the pipes cannot be of
arbitrary length and arrangement. Because the length of the
vertical and horizontal sections dramatically affects the burning
efciency of the replace, certain guidelines have been set in
The Q1GI replace has been tested and certied for use with AMERICAN METAL PRODUCTS “AMERIVENT
DIRECT”, SIMPSON DURAVENT TYPE GS PIPE FOR GAS STOVES. SECURITY CHIMNEY’S “SECURE VENT
DIRECT VENT SYSTEM” and SELKIRK “DIRECT-TEMP VENT SYSTEM” kits are available for horizontal and
vertical venting. When using Simpson Duravent, it is recommended that, before installation, a bead of
RTV High Temperature Silicone should be applied to each outer vent joint, and Mil-Pac to each inner

Figures 29 shows the range of venting options, it shows possible vent con gurations if the unit is top vented,
for vertical and horizontal terminations, any layout that remains within the shaded area is acceptable.
Having the fewest number of elbows is ideal, as they tend to disrupt air movement. Using 45˚ elbows is
preferable to using 90˚ elbows. Also, a shorter vent system will perform better than a longer one. The
total length of horizontal vent pipe can not exceed 14 feet (4.27m) and the total vent length can not
exceed 44ft (13.4m). Any combination of
rise and run can be used as long as it lays
within the shaded area (a total of two (2)
90˚ elbows or four (4) 45˚ elbows can be
used. In addition to what is shown, if a
90˚ elbow is used in the horizontal plane,
3 feet (91.4cm) must be subtracted from
the allowable horizontal run (for each 45˚
elbow, 1½ feet must be subtracted).

6. When running horizontal pipe, clearances to combustibles must be maintained 1½ inches (38 mm)
sides, 1½ inches (38 mm) bottom, and 2 inches (51 mm) top.
Step 1. Set the replace in the desired location. Check to determine if wall studs will be in the way when
the venting system is attached. If this is the case, the location of the replace may have to be
adjusted or the venting may have to be offset.
Step 2. Direct vent pipe sections are designed with special twist-lock connections. Dry t the desired
combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor.
Step 3. With the pipe in the correct position and attached to the replace, mark the wall for a 10 inches
(25.4 cm) x 10 inches (25.4 cm) square hole (see Figure 28). The center of the hole should
match the center line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the hole in the exterior wall where
the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is made of a non-combustible material
(i.e. masonry or concrete) a 7 inches (17.8 cm) hole is acceptable.

NOTE: For Simpson Duravent only, place a bead of Mil-Pac or Rutland No 78 Stove and Gasket Cement
on the outer edge of the inner exhaust pipe (non-ared end). Push the pipe sections together, then twist
about ¼ turn, making sure the two sections are fully locked. Wrap all seams with foil ducting tape.
Step 4. With the hole now framed, the wall thimble installed, and the pipe extending into the wall,
proceed to the outside. Attach the termination to the pipe using RTV and Mil-Pac or Rutland No
78 Stove and Gasket Cement to seal joints. The vent pipe must extend into the vent cap at least
1¼ inches (3.2 cm). Secure the connection between the vent cap and the pipe by attaching the
two (2) sheet metal straps, which extend from the vent cap assembly to the outer wall of the
vent pipe. Bend any remaining portion of the strap back towards the vent cap. Security Secure
Vent uses a twist lock cap.
Step 5. Position the horizontal vent termination in the center of the 10 inches (25.4 cm) square hole
and attach to the exterior wall with the four screws provided. The arrow on the vent termination
should be pointing up. Run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the edges of the vent
cap, to make a seal with the wall. Ensure the proper clearances to combustibles have been
maintained.
veRticaL teRmination:
Step 1. Check the instructions for required clearances (air spaces) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or other nearby combustible surfaces.
Do not pack air spaces with insulation.
Step 2. Set the gas appliance in the desired location. Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to
the position of the appliance ue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole
previously drilled in the ceiling, mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof. Determine
if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will obstruct the venting system. You may wish to
relocate the appliance, or to offset, to avoid cutting load bearing members.

STEP 5. Cut hole in the roof centered on the small hole placed in the roof from Step 2. The hole should
be of sufcient size to meet minimum requirements for Clearance to Combustibles, as specied.
Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling support
box up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well
as above the roof line. The galvanized nish is desirable above the roof line, due to the higher
corrosion resistance.
STEP 6. Once the pipe sections have been joined, and run up through the hole in the roof, slip an elbow
strap over the exposed sections, bend the support straps outwards, and push the elbow strap
down to the roof level, as shown in Figure 34. Tighten the clamp around the pipe section. Use
a level to make sure the pipe is truly vertical. With roong nails, secure the support straps to
the roof. Seal the nails holes heads with non-hardening mastic. Trim the excess length of the
support straps that extend out beyond the edge of the ashing.
STEP 7. Slip the ashing over the pipe section protruding through the roof. Secure the base of the
ashing to the roof with roong nails. Use a non-hardening sealant between the uphill edge
of the ashing and the roof. Insure the roong material overlaps the top edge of the ashing.
Verify that you have at least the minimum clearance to combustibles at the roof line.
STEP 8. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum code
requirements. Refer to Figure 35 and Table 7. Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height
must be increased. In high wind conditions, nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched
roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or down drafting. In these cases,
increasing the vent height may solve the problem.
STEP 9. Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to the top of the roof ashing as shown
in Figure 34. Use the non-hardening sealant around the joint between the pipe and the storm
collar.
STEP 10. Twist-lock the vent cap.

QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY
NOTES:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid
obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe
every 3 feet (914 mm), to avoid excessive stress
on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose (see Figure 36).
(2) When ever possible, use 45° degree elbows instead
of 90° degree elbows. The 45° degree elbow offers
less restriction to the ow of ue gases and intake
air.
(3) For multi story installations; a ceiling restop is
required at the second oor, and any subsequent
oors (see Figure 37). The opening should be
framed to 10” (254 mm) x 10” (254 mm) inside
dimensions, in the same manner as shown in Figure
28.
closets and storage spaces, which the
vertical vent passes through, must be
enclosed. The enclosure may be framed
and sheet-rocked with standard building
materials. However consult the appliance
manufactures installation instructions
for the minimum allowable clearance
between the outside of the vent pipe, and
the combustible surfaces of the enclosure.
Do not ll any required air spaces with
insulation.
(4) Any occupied areas above the rst oor, including

Initial Installation
The total vent length must be between 8 ft (2.44 m) and 40 ft (12.19 m).
Install a sealed vent cap to prevent leakage of room air up through chimney.
The intake and the exhaust are 3" (76mm).
Measure the height of the chimney beforehand and purchase the appropriate
venting. Never attempt to over-stretch a flexible liner to accommodate the
height of the chimney. Every joint in the venting must be secured with three (3)
#8 x 3/8” HWH sheet metal screws and an appropriate sealant (either silicone
or stove cement).
The flue damper can be fully blocked open or removed for installation of the
unit; the smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by
mechanical fasteners.
The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be clean, in good working order and
constructed of non-combustible materials.
Make sure that all chimney cleanouts are tight fitting and will not permit air to
leak into the chimney.
Refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates can be
removed from the fireplace before installing the unit.
Note: Space must be left for gas line on left side of unit for servicing purposes
The base, sidewalls and top structure of the solid fuel rebox cannot be altered with the exception of:
removal of dampers, removal of smoke shelf or bafe, removal of ember catches, removal of log grate,
removal of viewing screen/curtain, and removal of doors. THE ORIGINAL FIREPLACE MAY NEVER BE
RETURNED TO SOLID FUEL USE IN THIS CONDITION.
IMPORTANT: If the factory-built replace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5 inch
(37.5 mm) or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the rebox in a proper workmanship
like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line
has been installed. Cutting any
