DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Before beginning the installation of replace,
read these instructions through completely.
• This FMI PRODUCTS, LLC replace and
its components are safe when installed according to this installation manual. Unless you use FMI PRODUCTS, LLC components, which have been designed
and tested for the replace system, you may cause a re hazard.
• The FMI PRODUCTS, LLC warranty will
be voided by and FMI PRODUCTS, LLC disclaims any responsibility for the follow­ing actions:
a. Modification of the fireplace, com-
ponents, doors, air inlet system and damper control.
b. Use of any component part not manu-
factured or approved by FMI PROD­UCTS, LLC in combination with a FMI
PRODUCTS, LLC replace system.
c) Installation and/or operation in a
manner other than instructed in this manual.
d) Burning of anything other than the type
of gas approved for use in this gas
appliance. This appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with lo­cal codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70. The installation must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
This fireplace complies with the National
Safety Standards and is listed and tested by
PFS Corporation to ANSI Z21.50/CSA 2.22 standard as vented gas replace.
Proper installation is the most important step in ensuring safe and continuous operation
of the replace. Consult the local building
codes as to the particular requirements concerned with the installation of all factory
built replaces.
NOTICE: Decorative product not for use as a heating appliance.
This replace must be installed by a qualied (certied or licensed) service person. It has
a sealed gas combustion chamber that uses a millivolt gas control valve with a millivolt ignition system.
Models (V)DVF36TPNA/TPNPA series are three-sided direct-vent gas replaces and models (V)DVF36TSTA/TSTPA are two-sided direct-vent gas replace replaces with sealed
combustion chambers.
Models (V)DVF36TPNEA/TPNPEA and (V)
DVF36STEA/TSTPEA use a direct spark ignition with a 24 VAC control module. All models have HI/LO valve that controls the
ame height. These units can be equipped
with louvers for circulating or with panels for noncirculating operation.
Fan Kit model DVFFBK are available for these units as an option. If you are uncertain as to what gas your unit is equipped for, please check the rating plate located in the interior of the appliance opening or consult your local FMI PRODUCTS, LLC distributor.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
u, with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these signs, the replace may not
be working properly. Get fresh air at once!
Have replace serviced. Some people are
more affected by carbon monoxide than oth­ers. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those
under the inuence of alcohol and those at
high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas: Natural and
propane/LP gas are odorless. An odor-making agent is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of
this replace.
WARNING: Any change to this replace or it’s controls can be dangerous. Do not modify this replace under any circum­stances. Any parts removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating replace.

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 heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, win­dows or doors. 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:
• A projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing nished wall. Refer to hori­zontal termination congurations on page 15 or vertical congurations on page 18.
• Do not connect fireplace venting to a chimney ue serving a separate solid-fuel burning replace or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty
areas or near furniture or draperies.
• Never obstruct front opening of appliance or ow of combustion and ventilation air.
Keep control compartments accessible.
• Do not locate close to where gasoline or other ammable liquids may be stored.
Appliance must be kept clear and free from combustible materials.

GENERAL VENTING
These models are approved for use with FMI PRODUCTS, LLC 5"-8" Series, rigid type direct vent pipe as supplied by FMI PROD-
UCTS, LLC or with approved types of exible vent pipe (not supplied) when appropriate sized for an 8" outer and 5" inner diameter
application.
Your replace is approved to be vented either
through the side wall, or vertically using the following guidelines:
• Only use FMI PRODUCTS, LLC supplied
or approved types of venting components or kits. Do not mix different types of vent components, modify vent components or custom fabricate vent components for use in any one installation.
• Minimum clearance between vent pipes
and combustible materials is 1", except where stated otherwise.
• Combustible material may be ush with the top front of replace with a maximum
thickness of 3/4".
• Do not recess venting terminals into a wall
or siding.
• Do not install vent terminals below grade
level. Maintain a minimum height of 12" above snow line.
• Do not terminate venting system into an
attic or garage.
• 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.
• 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.
VENT TERMINATION CLEARANCES
The nal position of your appliance depends
on the location of the vent termination in rela­tion to the clearances that must be observed as shown in Figure 14, page 10.
You may avoid extra framing by positioning
your replace against an already existing framing member. The back of the replace
may be positioned directly against a com­bustible wall.
*Check with local codes. In the USA, follow the current National Fuel Gas Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1 also known as NFPA 54.
