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 specied 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 specications 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 specied 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 qualied 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 orice 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 orice in your location. In some cases the heating value may already be reduced and downsizing
the orice may not be necessary.

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.

(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.

FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE
1. The replace should be inspected and cleaned before rst use at the beginning of each season by a qualied 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.
