aiR shutteR (VentuRi):
The air shutter adjustment lever is underneath the rebox (see Figure 5).
The air shutter allows the amount of air mixing with the incoming gas 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 for impingement or soot build up.
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

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 the logs carefully, as they are very fragile. Gently remove all the coals and place on a paper
towel. Vacuum the bottom of the rebox thoroughly. Carefully clean any dust off the logs and remove
any lint from the burner and pilot. At this time, inspect the burner tube for cracking or severe warping.
If a problem is suspected, contact the dealer. Check the logs for deterioration or large amounts of soot;
a small amount on the bottom side of the logs is normal. Replace the logs and coals as in the seconDary
InstallatIon - FIre GrateanD loG set InstallatIon section. If new/more coals are required, contact your
nearest ENVIRO dealer.
RePLacingthe gLass:
The 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.
Page 10
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.
gLass DooR RemoVaL:
The door needs to be removed for
sceduled cleaning and to install the
glass media and other options.
To remove the glass door use your
two index ngers to pull the spring
latches up over the two door tabs.
Once release pivot the door to out
and pull it out of the bottom door
retainers. The door must be angled
in order for it to pull out.

A 10” (254 mm) x 10” (254 mm) frame (see Figure 21) 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 Q2L 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
joint. When planning an installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe for the
particular requirements.

Figures 24 shows the range of venting options for top vented congurations only using either vertical
or 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 20 feet (6.1m) and the total vent length can not exceed 40ft (12.2m).

NOTES:
1. Horizontal pipes must not be level. For every 12” (305 mm) of horizontal travel (away
from the stove), there should be at least ¼” (6.4 mm) of vertical travel. Never allow
the vent to run downward, as this could cause high temperatures or even present the
possibility of a re.
2. The exterior of the horizontal
vent termination must not be
blocked or obstructed.
3. If the vent termination is not
being attached to wood, the
four wood screws provided
should be replaced with
material appropriate fasteners.
4. For buildings with vinyl siding,
a vinyl standoff should be
installed between the vent cap
and the exterior wall. Attach
the vinyl siding standoff to
the horizontal termination.
Note that the termination
bolts onto the at portion of
the standoff, providing an air
space between the wall and
the vent termination. The air
gap prevents excessive heat
from possibly melting the vinyl
siding.

6. When running horizontal pipe, clearances to combustibles must be maintained 1½ inches (38 mm)
sides, 1½ inches (38 mm) bottom, and 2” (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”
(25.4 cm) x 10” (25.4 cm) square hole (see Figure 25). 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” (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” (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 3. To install the Round
Support Box/Wall Thimble
in a at ceiling, cut a 10
“ (25.4 cm) square hole
in the ceiling, centered in
the hole drilled in Step 2.
Frame the hole as shown
in Figure 26.
Step 4.
Assemble the desired
lengths of black pipe
and elbows necessary to
reach from the appliance
adapter up through the
Round Support Box.
Insure that all pipe and
elbow connections are
in their fully twist-locked
position.

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 26. 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 27 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 27. Use the non-hardening sealant around the joint between the pipe and the storm
collar.
Step 10. Twist-lock the vent cap.

NOTES:
(1)
If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid
obstructions, it is important to support the vent
pipe every 3’ (914 mm), to avoid excessive stress
on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose (see Figure 28).
(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.

2. Disconnect the power source coming into the appliance by ipping the circuit breaker
to avoid injury or damage to the components.
3. Install the fan controller into the control panel as shown in Figure 2. Use the retainer
nut to secure the controller. Note: nut bites into controller shaft without threads.
4a. If the appliance has not yet been installed into a construction enclosure remove the
fan cover plate with the (10) screws at the rear of the unit using a 1/4” socket (see
Figure 3); slot the fan into the silicone retainers on the opposite side as shown in
Figure 4.
4b. If the appliance is already installed into a construction enclosure you will need to
consult your Q2 owners manual on how to remove the interior rebox components.
Once they are removed see Figure 5 on how to remove the valve tray using the (23)
T-20 screws. Be careful not to damage the sealing gasket - If gasket gets damaged
replace that section with high-temp silicone. Do not completely remove the valve tray
just lift it up enough to get the fan inside and mounted onto the silicone gromments
as shown in Figure 4.
5. Attach one short and one long black wire to the fan terminals - push the other end of
the short wire through the electrical box bushing and attach it to the black incoming
power source wire by using a supplied male wire terminal. Incoming power should
be routed through the rear of the unit into the electrical box. Ensure the incoming
ground wire is well connected to interior of the electrical box ground screw.
6. Mount the temperature sensor in the retainer already mounted to the bottom of the
rebox. Continue to wire the circuit as shown in Figure 6. Double check to be sure
all wiring is correct then install the electrical box cover that came with the appliance.
Replace all components and ip the circuit break to the on position.
7. The fan will not turn on until 120F or 49C has been reached under the replace. The
fan will continue to run even after the appliance has turned off until the temperature
has dropped below the set point (this could be up to 20 minutes after shut down).

safety scReen instaLLation (50-3051):
The safety screen supplied with the
unit must be assembled rst before
it can be installed. When installed,
the screen should not extrude out
any farther than the surround if
the cabinet extensions are installed
(See Secondary InstallationCabinet Extensions).
Safety Screen Assembly
1. Attach the left, right, and end
brackets onto the safety screen
using a T20 screwdriver and
the supplied sixteen (16) #8
T20 screws (see Figure 34).
Do not over-tighten the screws
or they might strip out of the
screen frame.
2. Lift the face upright in front
of the appliance with the
four (4) hooks pointing down
towards the replace. Slide the
hooks into the corresponding
brackets on each side of the
cabinet (see Figure 36). Ensure
the hooks are secure before
releasing the safety screen.
The Q2L needs to be recessed into the construction enclosure in order for the safety screen to be ush with
the surroundings to provide a more cosmetically appealing look. By assembling the cabinet extensions the
unit can be pushed further into the wall while still maintaining a construction edging for facing materials
such as tile or drywall. Assemble the parts as shown using a T20 screwdriving and the supplied hardware.

These instruction are applicable to both the Q2 brick liner set (50-2977) and the Q2 enamel porcelain
liner set (50-2978).
Step 1: Be sure the replace is cool.
Remove the door, the log set (if installed),
log grate, burner tube, and the upper
and lower air diverters. Removal of these
parts will be found in the MaIntenance
anD serVIcesection of this manual. Once
all required components are removed your
appliance should resemble Figure 38.
Step 2: The panels are
delicate so please handle
with care. Remove the panels
from their packaging and insert
the rear liner rst followed by
the sides. Hold into position as
shown in Figure 39.

fiRe gRateanD Log set instaLLation:
The placement of the logs is not arbitrary. If they are positioned incorrectly, the ames can be “pinched”
and will not burn correctly. All of the logs come with either a notch or ledge, which make alignment easier.
Using the pictures provided, carefully set the logs in place (see Figures 41 through 45).
NOTE: The logs are fragile and should be handled gently.
Figure 41: This is how
the rebox looks with only
the burner, air diverters,
and log grate in place.
The log grate can be
easily removed by simply
lifting up off the stands.
Figure 41. Empty rebox with air diverter, grate, and burner tube
Step 1: Place the back log on the top legde
of the air diverter as far back as it will go.
Install the ember bed assembly into the
center of the burner tube on the burner
stands as shown. Bring the burner tube
as far forward as you can on the burner
stands while maintaining parallelism
between all the components in this
step.
NOTE: The burner tube may need to
be bent by hand slightly in order for
it to seat correctly.
Figure 42. Back Log and Ember Bed Installation
Step 2: Bust up the ember wool as
ne as possible (It is recommended
to use a stiff bristle brush or tabacoo/
coffee grinder). Place the wool lightly
on the burner tube (just enough to
cover about 70% of the front section
of the tube). Place the large left log into
position as shown with the back side
ush against the rebox wall. Place the
large right log into position; the back
log has markings indicating where to
line it up.

Step 3: Install the small nger-shaped
log into position. There is a notch cut
out on the underside the will locate
the log on the grate. Be sure the log
rests in the center of the two grate
arms and points straight up onto the
ember bed.
Place the larger log into position by
locating the lower notch on the grate
arm. The upper end of the log will rest
on the tip of the nger-shaped log
below. Roll the log forward until the it
resembles Figure 44.
Step 4: Install the nal elbow-
shaped log into position. There is
a notch on the bottom of the log
to locate it on the grate crossbar
as well as a notch to locate the log
onto the grate arm. The top tip of
this log should lay at the tip of the
twig on the ember bed.
Finish the set-up by carefully
spreading the coals around
underneath the log grate.
