All media (i.e. lava rock, lava stones, lava boulders and re glass) has the potential of thermal spalling. This is a process that may occur when media is wet and moisture gets trapped inside of the material due to rapid temperature differences. When this happens the media has the potential to crack or “pop” outside the replace. Heavy rains, high humidity and the presence of moisture can contribute to this process.
ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN USING THE FIREPLACE
Extra caution should be taken when lighting a replace when heavy rains, high humidity and moisture are present. Light the replace; leave the area allowing any moisture in the media to dissipate. We strongly recommend that during this drying out time that you monitor the replace from a distance. This drying out period should be no less than 30 minutes. Continue monitoring the ame from distance to ensure that all popping has ceased before fully enjoying the re.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
1. These replaces are designed for outdoor use only. Not approved for any indoor use.
2. We recommend using ¾” black iron pipe; however please refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for proper pipe sizing when exceeding 20-feet in length for replaces rated above 100,000 BTU.
3. Determine which replace you are preparing to install, single-sided or see-through. (Refer to page 8 or 11).
4. The Kalea Bay replace is not a “load bearing” replace. All nishing materials must be supported by the
surrounding structure and not rely on the replace itself.
5. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being used. This replace should be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the latest National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 NFPA54 or CSA B149.1, Natural and Propane Installation Code in Canada.
6. Fireplaces create high temperatures, it is very important to have any combustibles at a safe distance.
7. Normal operation of the replace is with a battery pack that is supplied with your system (Figs. 16-18 on page 15). The battery pack has 12-feet of black sleeved wire that is to be passed through the junction box provided. This wire should not be cut or spliced and the junction box can be placed in the facing of the vertical nish of the replace, if you place the wire under ground you should install those wires into an approved protective conduit/sleeve material.
8. Fireplace should never be left unattended while in operation. It should always be a safe distance from all trees and combustible landscape materials.
9. The replace must be installed on a at, level, stable, non-combustible surface. Exception: It is permissible to place one layer of ½” cement board underneath the entire replace, then it may sit on a at, level, stable, combustible surface. Drainage is critical to ensure that water does not damage gas valve and components. Never install the
replace system below grade.
10. CAUTION: A minimum of 18 square inches of cross ventilation (per side) is required to keep the inside of the enclosure dry. Install the supplied VENT-KIT-6x12 approximately 3 to 4 inches from the oor centered on each end of the replace (See Fig. 16, page 15).
11. Never ll the cavity under and around the valve box with any material, this is air space necessary for ventilation.
12. Only non-combustible materials (i.e. metal studs and cement board) should come in direct contact with any part of the replace. Underneath area should be non-combustible or a at level combustible surface according to the clearances specied in this manual. Bend out nailing anges on ends of replace and secure to metal studs.
13. This replace is designed to have glass media covering the burner trough, so the burnertubeis not visible. Media is not provided. When purchasing media use minimum of ⅜” to ¾” diameter glass ll the burner trough. After the burner is covered you are permitted to use a larger media on top to cover the remaining burnerpan. DO NOT COVER THE IGNITION HOOD WITH ANY ROCK OR MEDIA. See Fig. 23 on page 17 for details.
14. Gas lines and ttings must be installed in to the non-combustible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested before installation of the replace. Leak detection is required before regular use of the replace.
15. Do not use media that will absorb moisture over time and will not release this moisture quickly. Moisture can boil in this media and can rapidly break apart and cause property damage or personal injury.
16. Never leave any other combustible material on top of the replace. This could cause unsafe operation of this system and damage to the component that will not be covered under our warranty.
17. It is recommended to wear gloves when moving the replace into position and watch for sharp edges when handling the replace.

CAUTION: BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION CAREFULLY REMOVE THE GLASS WINDSHIELDS, PARTS BOX AND ANY PACKING MATERIALS FROM FIREPLACE AND SET ASIDE FOR LATER USE.
FRAMING: After framing is complete, slide the replace into position and secure it with the side nailing anges. Next install cement board, securing it to the metal studs and replace. The framing provides for a ush t up to the opening of the replace. DO NOT PROTRUDE INTO THE FIREPLACE OPENING WITH CEMENT BOARD. GAS LINE: The gas line must have a predetermined location to enable it to be installed. Fig. 1 shows one example of an inlet gas line with a gas shut off at the replace. This allows a technician to shut the inlet gas supply OFF and remove the burner for servicing. It is imperative that the ex line from the gas shut-off be long enough to lift out burner pan for service. Ensure you follow the local and state gas codes per your installation.
RECOMMENDATION: Once the gas line is established it is recommended to remove the burner pan from the rebox until the replace is in the nal stages and ready for the burner installation. See Burnerpan Removal below.
IMPORTANT: It is permissible to reverse the burner pan in the eld to enable a closer gas line connection if necessary.
BURNERPAN REMOVAL
The burnerpan is secured in the replace with two screws. They are located at the outer edge of the burnerpan on each corner (See Fig. 2). Remove both screws and lift the burnerpan out of the rebox for gas connection.
Fig.1 Close up view of inlet gas connection with shut-off valve.
VENTILATION FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENCLOSURE
Fireplaces are subjected to many outdoor elements such as rain, snow, wind, heat or cold. A minimum of 18 square
inches of cross ventilation (2 sides) is required to keep the components in good working order. Use Fig. 3 as a
guide.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Proper clearances from combustible, construction materials must be maintained from all sides, top and
bottom of this appliance. See specications listed on pages 8-10 for a single-sided replace and pages 11-14 for a see-through replace.
The replace must be installed on a at, level, stable, non-combustible surface. If one layer of ½” cement board is installed underneath the entire replace, it may sit on a at, level, stable, combustible surface. Install replace according to the clearances specied in this manual. NOTE: Do not place replace directly on grass, dirt, or rocks this may prevent proper ventilation. Ensure proper water drainage is also incorporated under the replace enclosure.
IMPORTANT
Installation of Natural or LP gas should be done by a qualied installer, service agency or gas supplier. This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ “psig (3.5kPa)
HARD PIPING TO Fireplace WITHOUT GAS PROXIMITY NOTE: We recommend using ¾” black iron pipe; however please refer to the NFPA54 (National Fuel Gas Code) for
proper pipe sizing when exceeding 20-feet in length for replaces rated above 100,000 BTU.
1. Turn OFF gas supply system. NOTE: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require the following. Clean pipe threads using either a wire brush or steel wool. Apply pipe sealant to the ttings before making any connection. BE CAREFUL! Ensure all gas connections are snug, but do not over tighten!
2. Extend the gas supply using minimum of ¾” black iron pipe or an approved exible gas line from existing house supply. This can be accomplished by teeing off or tapping into a gas line connection. Install necessary pipe for the distance required and then install a manual shut-off valve at the exterior house wall. If pipe is to pass through a foundation or house wall, make sure to re-seal the area around the pipe with weather sealant.
3. The primary gas shut-off (supplied) will require a ½” male ared tting to enable connection of the stainless steel ex gas line supplied with the replace (See Fig. 1 page 5).
HIGH ELEVATION INSTALLATION
This appliance is listed for elevations from 0 to 4500 feet in Canada and the U.S. If elevation exceeds 4500 feet it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet beyond the 4500 feet above sea level. Check with your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orice in your location. In some cases the heating value may already be reduced and downsizing the orice may not be necessary.
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING PAGES. THIS FIREPLACE IS SHIPPED AS A SINGLE-SIDED FIREPLACE, HOWEVER YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO CONVERT IT INTO A SEE-THROUGH FIREPLACE. READ THE HEADERS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE YOU ARE FOLLOWING THE CORRECT INSTALLATION.
UNLESS SPECIFIED, ALL OTHER PAGES ARE COMMON FOR BOTH FIREPLACES. REVIEW THE INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING ANY OF THESE MODELS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL OUR TECHNICAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT 1-855-498-8324.

FINAL PREPARATION
INSTALLATION OF BATTERY PACK
1. The battery pack should be installed into the either end of the replace no higher than 11 ½” from the bottom. A plastic junction box is provided for the installation of the battery pack (See Figs. 16-18). We recommend a weather resistance cover to protect battery pack.
2. The wiring extending from the valve box is a 12-foot special 4-pin connector that connects to the battery pack and (2) two additional wires with ¼” female
connectors. A complete wiring diagram (Fig. 32) is located on page 28.
3. Feed all wires into the plastic junction box and
connect special 4-pin plug into back of the battery pack. Connect ¼” female spade connectors to solenoid wires matching color, red-to-red and black-to­ black.
4. Install the (4) AA batteries in to the battery compartment shown in Fig 17. Double check to ensure the slide switch is in the Latching Solenoid position on the battery pack. Then snap cover plate in place as shown in Fig.18.
Fig.16 Battery pack location in end of replace.
Fig. 17 Slide switch on latching solenoid
5. Reinstall the battery pack into the plastic junction box, line up the two holes in the cover and install white screws provided. Batteries can be changed or installed by removing the two screws that hold the cover plate battery pack in place. Remove assembly, slide cover away from the cover plate and install the (4) four AA batteries.
6. Be sure the batteries are installed positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative. If one battery is installed wrong the system will not operate.
7. Once the replace is installed into the enclosure, the burner and control system should be tested before the media (rocks/glass) are installed.
INSTALLATION OF BATTERY INTO TRANSMITTER
You have one handheld transmitter and you will need to install the included (12-volt battery) into the transmitter. On the backside of the transmitter, push the cover away from the case. Place the battery into the compartment matching positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative. To ensure the battery is properly installed push any button on the transmitter and you will see a red LED light at the top of the transmitter glow. The red LED
light above the ON button will only be lit when button is pushed. See Fig. 19.
CAUTION: Handheld transmitter should not be left outside exposed to the elements when replace is not in use.

When the replace is framed into position and the gas line is run in place it is recommended to burn test the replace before the nish work is complete. This will ensure proper operation and enables the installer to check for any gas leaks at the replace.
NOTE: The pilot covers have a plastic lm that must be removed before installing.
Once the burner pan assembly secured into position, the pilot covers must be installed (one on each side). After you have removed the plastic lm install the pilot covers into the open slot of the each burner end (spacers that center the burner) with the with the open side of pilot cover facing toward the replace side wall (See Figures 20- 21). NOTE: Even though there is no pilot on the opposite end the other pilot cover provides combustion air evenly to the burner for operation.

FINAL PREPARATION
Media (Firegear GR glass) is not supplied with the Kalea Bay Fireplace however it is required to be installed in the trough area of the burner and optional to ll the entire burner area. This enables the homeowner to choose their own color glass. Use the table below to determine the amount of glass required for your model.

OFP-L48TFS
OFP-L60TFS
OFP-L72TFS
Table 9 Required media specications (Entire burnerpan column includes ling the trough)
INSTALLING MEDIA
Install media (Firegear GR glass) into the burner pan. Ensure the media used is minimum ⅜” to ¾” crushed glass as a base. Install the crushed glass into the burner trough (box surrounding the burner tube). Fill the trough to the top edge with your crushed glass. Media must stop at the top edge of the trough. After lling the trough reinstall the mesh hood overtop of the pilot area. NOTE: In some cases you may have more media than needed for the “trough only” applications, depending on the model.
Once the burner trough if lled the remaining inside oor area of the replace can be covered with rock, matching glass or Firegear GL glass to blend the entire rebox per the shaded area in Fig. 23.
IMPORTANT: When lling the remaing re box with media ensure no media falls down inside the pilot cover area (Fig. 21, page 16). This is crucial to provide fresh air to the pilot assembly and pilot covers (Figs. 20-21). This provides even ow of combustion air on both sides of the replace.

INSTALLING HOOD(S)
The Kalea Bay replace requires hoods to be installed into the upper opening of the rebox. If you are installing a single­sided replace you only install one (1) hood. NOTE: If you are installing a see-through replace a hood is required on both sides of the replace opening. All models require ve (5) screws to secure the hood to the replace except the OFP-L72TFS, it uses seven (7) screws to secure the hood.
Fig. 24 shows hole location and installation process for hood installation. The protruding area of the hood is to be angled downward for proper installation, see Hood Detail below.

WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION
The glass windshield(s) slide into the two clips on each end of the replace and rest in position if installing for a single-sided replace (See Fig. 25) for the location. If you are installing a see-through replace, you will need to install two additional glass clips (provided) into the opposite side of the replace in the same location as the existing clips. Use the two screws installed in the replace side wall to secure the clips (glass holders). There are two glass windshields provided to install on each side of the replace. The glass will rest on the bottom tab of each windshield clip. CAUTION: THIS IS TEMPERED GLASS. DO NOT CHIP GLASS. CHIPPED TEMPERED GLASS CAN BREAK WITHOUT WARNING.
NOTE: If you are not using the extra windshield provided it can be used as a replacement part.
INSTALLING WINDSHIELD INTO CLIPS
1. Carefully unpackage the windshield(s).
2. Using gloves carefully lift the windshield into the top opening (above the clips) of the replace, supporting the glass at the top and bottom as you handle it.
3. Carefully bring the bottom edge of the glass into the top area of the windshield clip (See Fig. 26).
4. As the glass enters the clip the bottom edge of the glass will rest in place on the bottom of the clip.
5. Center glass between clips after installation.

FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE
1. The replace should be inspected and cleaned before rst use at the beginning of each season by a qualied eld service person.
2. Any component that is found faulty must be replaced with an approved component.
3. Any tampering or modifying with the replace is dangerous and voids all warranties.
4. During winter months in cold climates and various seasons operation the replace may be affected by weather conditions. It is recommended to use a weather proof cover overtop for your replace to protect it from humid/rainy weather conditions when not in use. Heavy rains/downpours could affect the replace operation if not covered; if this occurs ensure you allow the replace time to dry out before attempting to operate. NOTE: If a combustible type cover is used over the replace when not in use be sure to remove it before operation to prevent a severe safety hazard.
5. Carbon (soot) may build up on the metal interior during heavy use. Sooting may also occur periodically under the pilot cover. CAUTION: Unsure replace is cool to touch and gas is turned OFF. To clean, mix several drops of dishwashing liquid into a bucket of hot water. The dish soap assists in breaking up the soot and removing it from the metal. 1. Dip a scrubbing sponge into the soapy water and wipe it back and forth over the soot deposits. This breaks off the majority of the soot from the metallic surface. 2. Spray any remaining soot deposits with a combination of warm water and white vinegar mixed in a spray bottle in a half-and-half solution. White vinegar is slightly acidic and this helps break up the soot and cleans the metal effectively. 3. Run a nylon scrub brush against any stubborn soot to remove it from the metal. Avoid using a metal scrub brush since this can result in scratching. 4. Buff the metal with a damp rag to remove any remaining soap or vinegar and then dry it with a dry rag.
6. Over time stainless steel parts can discolor when heated, usually a golden or brown hue. This discoloration is normal and does not affect the performance of the appliance.

TROUBLESHOOTING - MODULE ERROR CODES
ERROR CODES
The VCS-4000MODTC control module has built-in error detection for several common operating fault conditions. When the control module detects an error, it will emit a series of beeps. The beeping pattern will help to determine the cause of
the operating fault.
Ignition Safety (Protection for Ignition system):
Error Code: One beep every one second.
Description of Fault: Warn users if the pilot is not successfully ignited in 20 seconds.
How to Clear: Press OFF then ON buttons to re-attempt ignition.
What to Check:
1. Ensure gas supply is turned ON.
2. Ensure that the gas line is purged of air. Air is common in the gas line if the appliance has just been installed, has
been disconnected then re-connected to the gas line, or if the appliance has been unused for an extended period of time.
3. Ensure there is no blockage in the gas line.
4. Ensure batteries in the battery pack are a minimum of 5.3 volts. If not, replace them.
5. Make sure that the ame is properly contacting the thermocouple on the pilot assembly and check for soot
build-up. Clean soot if present.
6. Ensure orange/white leads from module are plugged into the “PILOT” connection on the valve body.
7. Ensure green/white leads from module are plugged into the “MAIN” connection on the valve body.
8. Verify lead from pilot assembly is connected to the “I” terminal on the module.
9. Verify lead from thermocouple is connected to the “S” terminal on the module and thermocouple ground terminal
is connected to ground at the gas valve (See Fig. 32 on page 28).
10. Verify that the black ground lead from the module is connected to a proper ground on the appliance and check for
frayed or pinched wires on the sensor wire lead.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Sensor Safety (Protection for Flame sensor):
Error Code: 4 Beeps every one second (Constant beeping)
Description of Fault: Warn users the ame sensor detects a ame already present when ignition sequence is initiated. Also if thermocouple is not given enough time to cool off (30 seconds or more) before re-lighting appliance. How to Clear: Press OFF then ON buttons to re-attempt normal ignition.
What to Check:
1. Allow thermocouple to cool off minimum of 30 seconds.
2. Check if ame is actually present when valve is turned OFF (if so, replace valve).
3. Check to ensure ground wire from thermocouple and module are connected to gas valve.

Error Code: 4 Beeps every 2 seconds.
Description of Fault: Warn users that the modules internal temperature exceeds 170°F.
How to Clear: Module’s internal temperature must cool to below 160°F and then press ON button.
What to Check:
1. Ensure that there is proper ventilation to the control module.
2. Is module (inside valve box) located in unapproved location, too close to burner?
3. Move to cooler location.
Wireless Remote Transmitter Will Not Operate Appliance
1. Make sure that the transmitter is within the 25-foot operational range of the control module.
2. Ensure batteries in transmitter are fully charged and properly installed.
3. If using the battery pack, ensure batteries are fully charged and properly installed. Also, make sure the battery
pack’s 4-pin connector is securely connected to the battery pack and control module.
4. If using optional AC adapter, ensure that the AC adapter leads are securely attached to “POWER” connection on
the control module. Also, ensure that the AC adapter is connected to a live 120VAC power source.
5. Ensure “Remote/Off” switch on control module is set to “Remote”.
6. Ensure the control module has learned the transmitter’s security code (learning section page 21).
7. Make sure that the remote transmitter is not placed/mounted to a metal surface, which will reduce the operating
range.
8. Make sure that there is not a large metal obstruction between the remote transmitter and the control module.
Ignitor Sparks at Pilot Hood Frequently During Operation
1. The control module will generate a spark at the ignitor electrode to the pilot hood if the system is in the ON
position, but does not does not light; thermocouple may not be hot enough or generating enough millivolts.
2. Make sure that the tip of the thermocouple is clean. Soot buildup will insulate the thermocouple and will not allow
for proper ame sensing.
3. Make sure that wind does not blow the pilot ame out. The pilot hood and the media (rocks, glass, etc.) provides
shielding from the wind. Ensure that the pilot hood and media are properly positioned per the instructions. If wind is too strong, and the pilot ame can not maintain contact the thermocouple properly, the appliance should not be operated.
Flame Modulation Will Not Work or Works Backwards
1. Ensure that the black and red leads from the battery pack are securely connected to the red and black leads from
the Hi/Lo latching solenoid located on the valve body (red to red and black to black).
2. Verify that the selector switch on the battery pack is set to LATCHING SOLENOID only.
3. Check functionality with all transmitters to determine if there is an issue with the main control system or an
individual transmitter. If the issue is with an individual transmitter, make sure that the batteries in both the transmit ter and battery pack are installed properly and fully charged.
