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 16). 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 14
Page 15
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.
safety scReen:
A safety screen is installed from the manufacture to protect its users from the dangers of the hot glass
preceding it. There are four safety screen mounting brackets that hold the screen into position as shown
in Figure 17. In order to remove the safety screen it is easiest to grab the screen from the top and bottom
and lift the screen off the mounting backets and outward as shown in Figure 18.

This section of the owner’s manual is for the use of qualied technicians only. Fireplace placement,
hearths, facing, mantels, and venting terminations will be covered, as well as the gas and electric systems.
There are several installation safety guidelines that must be adhered to. Please carefully read the safety

exhaust height set-up:
The Q3 comes from the manufacturer with the 1A conguration assembled because it is the most common
set-up. It is up to the installer to determine which appliance termination height is desired pending the
specic installation requirements. If there are no construction limitations to the Q3 assembly then it it
recommended to leave the height at the 1A conruration. There are 4 intake plates and 4 exhaust plates;
1 of each will be installed once the termination height is determined. The intake plate must match the
exhaust plate and this is determinded by the hole position. Each plate has and A and B conguration that
can be interchanged by simply rotating the plate as seen in Figure 25.
To replace the termination plates use a 1/4” hex socket to
remove all of the fasteners. You will be re-using the existing
gaskets so be careful not to damage them. If excessive damage
does occur clean the mating
surfaces and use an approved
replace high-temp silicone.
Replace the two plates with
your new desired plates
and assemble in the same
manner you removed them in.

A 10” (254 mm) x 10” (254 mm) frame (see Figure 33) 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 Q3 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.
CAUTION: If any of the venting is disassembled after installation it must be properly cleaned and resealed.
WARNING: Do not mix parts from different vent manufacturers’ systems.

Figures 36 shows the range of venting options 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). Any combination of rise and run can be

Figure 37. Horizontal Vent Termination
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. Horizontal pipes must be supported every 3’ (914 mm). Plumber’s all round strap will sufce.
7. When running horizontal pipe, clearances to combustibles must be maintained 1½ inches (38 mm)
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 37.
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 38. 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 39 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 38. 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 40).
(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 41). The opening should be
framed to 10” (254 mm) x 10” (254 mm) inside
dimensions, in the same manner as shown in Figure
33.
(4) Any occupied areas above the rst oor,
Figure 40: Use of Wall Straps.
including 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.

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 to make alignment easier.
Using the pictures provided, carefully set the logs in place (see Figures 44 through 48).
NOTE: The logs are fragile and should be handled gently.
Figure 44: 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 44. 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. Try to maintain 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 45. 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 front section of the burner tube.
It is best to have less ember wool
- keep it light and uffy. Do not
put the ember wool on the back
section of the burner tube. Lightly
sprinkle strands of Embaglow overtop
of the wool and ember bed.
Figure 46. Left and Right Large Logs with Ember Wool
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 smooth pad
on 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 47.
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.
