PRODUCT FEATURES

These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your direct-vent replace:

• The CD36R dedicated rear vent is best suited for ush or corner installations when vented horizontally through an exterior wall.

• The CD36T dedicated top vent is suited

for any application where height is necessary to terminate the venting system

either through the roof (vertical) or to gain sufcient height and offset to vent to an outside/exterior wall (horizontal).

• The vent pipe installation is very important to allow for proper operation. You must select the appropriate unit for your application and follow the venting instructions to plan your installation.

• This replace may be installed in any room of your house provided all local codes and these installation instructions are followed.

• Models (V)(CD)(CDC)36R/T are equipped

with a millivolt gas control system that does

not require electricity to operate. A piezo ignitor is provided to light the pilot without using matches or lighters.

• Models (V)(CD)(CDC)36RE/TE are equipped with an electronic ignition system that requires 120VAC to operate. An electrode ignitor automatically lights the pilot ame when the replace is turned on.

• All models can accept an optional circulat-

ing air blower when 120 VAC connection

is supplied. If you plan to install an optional blower, do not forget to wire the replace outlet when framing.

• Each time you turn on your replace, you may notice some amount of condensation on the inside of the replace glass. This

is normal and will disappear after 10-20

minutes of operation.

• Your direct-vent gas fireplace system (replace and venting) is a balanced and sealed gas operating unit. It is highly efcient because it uses outside air for combustion

while independently heating the indoor air.

PRE-INSTALLATION

PREPARATION

LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efcient location for your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC direct-vent replace. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. Figure 2 shows some com-

mon locations. Be aware of all restrictions and

precautions before deciding the exact location for your replace and termination cap.

When deciding the location of your replace, follow these rules:

• Do not connect this replace venting to a chimney ue serving a separate solid-fuel burning replace or appliance.

• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty areas or near furniture or draperies.

• Proper clearances must be maintained.

• If your replace is to be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the replace. See Figure

3, page 6.

• Your replace is designed to be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing

material can be placed directly against any

exterior surface on the back, sides or top of your replace, except where standoff spac-

ers are integrally attached. If standoff spac-

ers are attached to your replace, these

spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing material. See framing details on page 7.

• If you plan on installing a television or entertainment center recessed above your replace, it is recommended that you maintain a minimum 18" above top of louver opening.

• When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 7, page 7.

• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra framing by positioning your replace against

an already existing framing member.

• Do not recess termination cap into a wall

or siding.

• You may paint the termination cap with 450º F (232º C) heat-resistant paint to coordinate with the exterior nish.

• There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24" from the front

of the termination cap.

• Do not locate termination cap where excessive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure

to clear vent termination area after snow falls to prevent accidental blockage of venting

system. When using snow blowers, do not

direct snow towards vent termination area.

VENTING INSTALLATION

NOTICE: Read these instruc-

tions completely before attempting installation.

These models are tested and approved for

use with FMI PRODUCTS, LLC (direct-vent)

pipe components and terminations.

The venting system must terminate on the outside of the structure and can not be attached to a chimney or ue system serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. A direct-vent appliance must have its own

venting system. DO NOT common vent this appliance.

These models are approved to be vented

either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through a roof or chase enclosure using the following:

• When venting system terminates horizontally on an outside wall, you may install

a standoff if the termination cap is to be

installed directly on a combustible nish such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.

• Never run the vent downward as this may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a re.

• Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal sections, which requires 2" clear-

ance from the top of the pipe. Where the

termination cap penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.

• Have replace and selected vent compo-

nents on hand to help determine the exact

measurements when elbowing or offsetting. Always use wall restops when penetrating walls and restops when penetrating ceil-

ings or attic spaces.

• If using a venting conguration of only horizontal venting with no vertical run, a 1/4" rise for every 12" of run toward the termination is required.

WARNING: Read all instruc-

tions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation.

Failure to do so could result in

serious injury, property damage or loss of life.

IMPORTANT: Do not seal vent cap to pipe.

Cap must be removable for servicing.

NOTICE: Failure to follow these in-

structions will void the warranty.

NOTICE: Do not seal termination

cap to vent pipe. Cap must be removable for vent inspection and maintenance.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection

• Use extreme caution when using ladders or

when on roof tops

• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls

and ceilings

The following actions will void the warranty on your venting system:

• Installation of any damaged venting compo-

nent

• Unauthorized modication of the venting system (Do not cut or alter vent components)

• Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by FMI PRODUCTS, LLC

• Installation other than as instructed by these instructions

WARNING: This gas replace and vent assembly must be vented directly to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each direct-vent gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not use common vent systems.

WARNING: Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides except

on the horizontal sections,

which require 2" clearances from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.

There are two basic types of direct-vent

installation:

• Horizontal Termination

• Vertical Termination

Horizontal Termination Installation

IMPORTANT: Horizontal square terminations require only inner portion of wall restop. Horizontal installations using round termination require exterior portion of wall restop (see Figure 20, page 15).

1. Set replace in its desired location and determine route your horizontal venting will take. Do not secure replace until all

venting has been installed. Some instal-

lations require sliding replace in and out of position to make nal venting connections. Figures 18 through 25 on pages 14 through 17 show different congurations for venting with horizontal termination that will help you decide which application best suits your installation. Check to see if wall studs or roof rafters are in the path of your desired venting route. If they are, you may want to adjust location of replace.

2. Direct vent pipe sections and components are designed with special twist-lock connections.

Twist-Lock Procedure: Female ends of

pipes have locking lugs (indentations). These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on male ends of adjacent pipes. Push pipe sections together and twist

one section clockwise approximately one-

quarter turn until sections are fully locked (see Figure 11).

Note: Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-

ported every three feet. Use wall straps for this purpose.

3. Any straight pipe section, a 45° or 90°

elbow can be used when rst connecting the venting system to replace. Elbows are designed to twist-lock into any of four

90° positions to direct the venting system to the desired location. IMPORTANT: Do

not attempt to alter the conguration of elbow by cutting, twisting, bending, etc.

4. Assemble desired combination of pipe

and elbows to replace ue collar. If there are long portions of venting run, preas-

sembled pipe sections may be installed

as subassemblies for convenience.

VENTING INSTALLATION

Continued

5. Carefully determine location where vent pipe assembly will penetrate outside wall. Center of hole should line up with center line of horizontal vent pipe. Mark wall for a

11 1/2" x 11 1/2" square hole. Cut and frame

square hole in exterior wall where vent will

be terminated. If wall being penetrated is

constructed of noncombustible material, such as masonry block or concrete, a

8 1/2" hole with zero clearance is accept-

able (see Figure 12).

WARNING: Do not recess

vent termination into any wall. This will cause a re hazard.

6. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position

horizontal vent cap in center of 8 1/2" round hole and attach to exterior wall with four

wood screws provided. Before attaching

vent cap to exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic (pliable sealant) around outside edges to make a seal between it and outside wall.

Note: Four wood screws provided should

be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete or other types of

sidings (see Figure 13).

Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl

siding, stucco or wood exteriors, a siding

standoff may be installed between vent cap and exterior wall. Siding standoff prevents excessive heat from damaging

siding materials. Siding material must be cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt vent

cap to standoff. Apply non-hardening

mastic around outside edge of standoff.

Position standoff/cap assembly in center of the 11 1/2" square hole and attach to exterior wall with wood screws provided

(see Figure 14). Siding standoff must sit ush against exterior fascia material.

7. Connecting Vent Cap with Horizontal Vent Pipe: Fit outer and inner wall restop

into wall before connecting horizontal run to vent cap (see Figure 15).

Carefully move replace, with vent assem-

bly attached, toward wall and insert vent

pipe into horizontal termination. The pipe overlap should be a minimum of 1 1/4".

Slide wall restop against interior wall sur-

face and attach with screws provided (see

Figure 16, page 14). See Figure 17, page 14, for horizontal termination details.

Place replace into position and shim with

noncombustible material, if needed. Nail or screw side anges to framing to secure unit in place. IMPORTANT: Make sure re- place is level before securing. If replace

is not level it will not work properly.

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL

TERMINATION

Note: Vertical restrictor must be installed in

all vertical installations.

1. Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset (see Figure 26) to avoid cutting load bearing members.

Note: Pay special attention to these installation instructions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any maximum horizontal offset limitations.

(V)(CD)(CDC)36T Series Only: When

installing the OSR58-30 offset, it must be turned 20° off center line (see Figure 27, page 18). This will give you the 1" clearance to horizontal framing members that are a minimum of 12" above replace.

of replace exit ue. Mark center point

where vent will penetrate ceiling. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Drop a plumb line from inside of roof to

locating hole in ceiling. Mark center point where vent will penetrate roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Flat Ceiling Installation

1. Cut a 11 1/2" square hole in ceiling using

locating hole as a center point. The open-

ing should be framed to 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" (292 mm x 292 mm) inside dimensions, as shown in Figure 12 on page 11 using framing lumber the same size as ceiling joists. If area above ceiling is an insulated ceiling or an attic, nail restop from top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into required clearance space. If

area above ceiling is a living space, in-

stall restop below framed hole. Firestop should be installed with no less than three nails per side (see Figure 28).

2. Assemble desired lengths of pipe and

elbows necessary to reach from replace ue up through restop. Be sure all pipe and elbow connections are fully twistlocked (see Figure 11, page 12).

3. Cut a hole in the roof using locating hole as

a center point. (Cover any exposed open

vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.) The

11 1/2" x 11 1/2" hole must be measured on

the horizontal; actual length may be larger depending on pitch of roof. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. Frame opening as shown in Figure 12, page 12.

4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through hole.

1" Clearance

20°

3.5"

Note: If an offset is needed to avoid obstruc-

tions, you must support vent pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure 26, page 17). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the ow of ue gases and intake air.

5. Place ashing over pipe section(s) extending through roof. Secure base of ashing to roof and framing with roong nails. Be sure roong material overlaps top edge of ashing as shown in Figure 26, page 17. There must be a 1" clearance from vent pipe to combustible materials.

6. Continue to add pipe sections until height of vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements described in Figure 10

on page 9.

Note: You must increase vent height for

steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining rooines, steep pitched roofs and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing vent height may solve this problem.

7. Twist-lock vent cap onto last section of vent pipe.

Note: If vent pipe passes through any occupied areas abovethe rst oor, including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure and meet minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not ll any required air spaces with insulation.

If area above is an attic or insulated area, install restop above framed hole.

If area above is a living space, install

restop below framed hole.

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION

Your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC direct-vent replace

has been tested and approved in the USA for

elevations from 0-2000 feet (610 m) . High altitude models as indicated by the letter

sufx (-HA) are equipped with specic gas

controls for installation above 4000 feet. IMPORTANT: Fireplaces when factory

equipped for use at high altitude can not be converted for use with propane/LP gas. When installing a non-high altitude replace at an elevation above 2000 feet (610 m) (in the USA), you may need to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orice to a smaller size. Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet (305 m) above sea level. Check with your local gas company for proper derate procedure and orice size.

Consult your local gas company to help determine the proper orice for your location.

For assistance with any high altitude

installation call FMI PRODUCTS, LLC at 1-866-328-4537.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the replace unit you are installing. If your gas supply is not correct, do not install replace. See retailer where you purchased the replace for proper replace according to your gas type or to purchase gas conversion kit (see Accessories, page 45).

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

WARNING: A qualified service person must connect replace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This replace requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the replace and propane/LP supply.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing replace, make sure you

have the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes)

* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff valve from your retailer.

For propane/LP connection only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, replace regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 48. Pointing vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new,

black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to replace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from replace (see Figure 51).

IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting

off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to replaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT

threads. This will prevent excess sealant from

going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged replace valves.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure

49. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping sys-

tem between fuel supply and replace. Locate

sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter

is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into replace gas controls. If sedi-

ment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed

wrong, replace may not run properly.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame

patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the

proper ame height. Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. Call a qualied service person to readjust the pilot

if necessary.

The position and pattern of the pilot ames in relation to the sensing devices should be as shown in Figures 66 and 67 depending

on model.

If you pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:

• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to

Appliance, page 33 or 35 depending on

model)

• see Troubleshooting, page 38

Thermopile

3/8" to 1/2"

Pilot Burner

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner ames will be steady; not lifting or oating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation

type and weather conditions.

If the vent conguration is installed incorrectly, the ames will lift or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the ames after installation to ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 68 shows a typical ame pattern. If burner ame pattern differs from that de-

scribed:

• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to

Appliance, page 33 or 35 depending on

model)

• see Cleaning and Maintenance, page 37

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off replace

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of replace clean. Inspect these areas of replace before each use. Have replace inspected yearly by a qualied service person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass door panel with care. Do not strike, slam or otherwise abuse glass. Do not operate replace with the glass door unlatched, removed, cracked or broken.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household glass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and

other airborne particles to cling to the glass

surface. During initial start-up a slight lm may form on the glass due to paint curing. The glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the rst two weeks

of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two

or three times during each heating season, depending on the usage and circumstances

present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 29 of this manual when removing

glass door for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer should be used when replacing broken or damaged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts, page

44). This glass door panel is a complete unit. No substitute materials may be used.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses while handling or removing broken glass. Do not remove if glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.

If glass has been broken, carefully remove

glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 29). Vacuum all glass pieces with

a shop vac.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if

pieces are hot.

Use only the tempered glass door replace-

ment intended for this replace (see Replace- ment Parts, page 44 for detail on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Removing/

Replacing Glass Door, page 29 for instruc- tions for replacing glass door.

WARNING: Do not operate

replace with the glass door

unlatched, removed, cracked

or broken.

PILOT AND BURNERS

• Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace when cleaning is

complete.

• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to remove dust, dirt

or lint.

• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove excess dust, dirt or lint.

LOGS

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to

Installing Logs, Lava Rock and Glowing Embers, page 31, to properly replace logs.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon buildup on logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement

Parts on page 44.

•

Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement Parts on page 44.

VENTING SYSTEM

Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these guidelines:

1. Check areas of venting system that are

exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust

spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,

holes). Have these items replaced immediately by a qualied service person.

2. Remove vent cap and shine a ashlight

into vent. Remove any foreign material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive con-

densation. Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes and ttings and can be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior

portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or tting has been disturbed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such

as wall straps for rigidity.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING: Turn off replace and let cool before servicing. Only

a qualied service person should service and repair replace.

CAUTION: Never use a wire, needle or similar object to clean

pilot. This can damage pilot unit.

Note: All troubleshooting items are listed in order of operation.

The two most common causes of a malfunctioning gas appliance are:

1. Loose wiring connections

2. Construction debris clogging the pilot and/or gas control valve lter
