PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING
The next eight pages provide information for the Planning portion of your project.
P1. LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable location for the Halcyon Gas Fireplace. Considerations include
observing the required clearances to combustible materials, the accessibility of the gas and electric supply and the routing of the
gas vent.
A number of installation styles are possible; a corner, an island, a peninsula, built into a wall or enclosed by walls.
For maximum performance, you should choose a Fireplace location which minimizes the number of bends and horizontal lengths
in the venting run. Figure 6 shows some example installations.
Since the Halcyon Gas Fireplace weighs several hundred pounds, it must be placed on a sturdy and level surface. It can be placed
on the oor or a raised platform made of wood or non-combustible materials - do not place the Fireplace on carpet or vinyl tile.

P2. ABOVE THE FIREPLACE
Almost all of the heat produced by the Halcyon Gas Fireplace rises directly up the wall into which it is set. This subjects the wall
above the Fireplace (and anything attached to the wall) to elevated temperatures. The European Home Remote Heat Kit (included)
is designed to keep the wall cooler by moving heat away from the Fireplace. Your Fireplace is supplied with enough insulated,
exible duct to allow the Remote Heat Kit to be installed in a simple, ‘bump-in’ enclosure. If your installation requires more duct it
is available through your retailer or from European Home. NOTE: A grille for each duct box is NOT included and must be provided
by the customer. The grille MUST have a minimum open area of 41%.
Figure 9 and Table 4 show some typical wall surface temperatures at various distances from the Facing Bead on the Halcyon Gas
Fireplace. These temperatures are shown with no mantel attached. The inclusion of a mantel will have no material aect on the
wall temperatures above the Fireplace.
This information is intended to better inform your decision to attach objects above the Fireplace. European Home cannot predict
the eects of heat on anything attached above the Fireplace and the nal choice of objects, attachments and materials rests
entirely with the customer. European Home takes no responsibility for any eects, good or bad, of heat upon any objects attached
above the Fireplace.

Figure 9 - Surface Temperature Prole (not to scale)
The rst vent section must be a 12”, or longer, vertical section. Try to minimize the length of horizontal sections and the number of
elbows. Your proposed vent conguration should oer as little resistance as possible to the rising of hot air.
Any venting conguration used by the Halcyon must fall within the limits of Chart 1. All measurements are taken from the center
of the vent connector on the top of the Halcyon cabinet. See Figure 10.
To use the Chart 1, measure the total rise and total run of your proposed venting conguration. On the chart, draw a line between
the two numbers (top and bottom rows of the chart) representing your run and the two numbers (left and right columns of the
chart) representing your rise. Mark the point at which the lines intersect. If that point falls in a black area the conguration is not
permitted. Installations whose rise or run falls outside the chart are not permitted.
For example, if your vent rise is 18 feet and your vent run is 12 feet the venting is not permitted. Conversely, if your vent rises 7 feet
and your vent run is 11 feet the venting is permitted.

What is Combustible?
Materials that can catch re and burn are considered combustible.
Any material that is made of, or faced with, wood, wood pulp,
paper, plastic or any other material that can catch re and burn is
considered combustible. Even though these materials may have
been 'ame-proofed', made 're-resistant' or are 're-rated' they
are considered combustible.
The combustibility of a material can be tested per "ASTM E136
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube
Furnace at 750 Degrees C". Note that 're-resistant' does NOT
mean non-combustible.
Note: If a certain material has a core considered to be noncombustible (in accordance with ASTM E136) but is faced with
a combustible material then the material is considered to be
combustible.
When in doubt, ask for an ASTM E136 compliance statement.

Table 6 - Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials
What is Non-combustible?
A given material is said to be non-combustible when it cannot
catch re and burn. For example, materials made entirely, or in
combinations, of, stone, brick, concrete, tile, steel, plaster or glass
are considered non-combustible.
For the purposes of the installations described in this Manual,
those materials that have passed the ASTM E136 tests are
considered to be non-combustible.
As of this writing, the materials listed below are reported by
their manufacturers to be non-combustible (in accordance with
ASTM E136):
• James Hardie Building Products, Inc.:

INSTALLATION - GAS SUPPLY
5. INSTALL THE GAS SUPPLY
Section 5 details the Gas Installation portion of your project.
Note
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gastter when installed
within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The installation of the Halcyon Gas Fireplace must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 in the U.S. or
the Canadian Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.1 in Canada.
The Halcyon Gas Fireplace is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. If LP
gas is to be used the Halcyon Gas Fireplace must be converted using the H50-SALPCK-01 LP Conversion Kit only. Refer to the instructions included in the Conversion
Kit.
Route the gas supply into the right side of the Fireplace cabinet (see Figure 19). The
gas supply piping should have a separate gas shuto valve and a capped, ⁄” pipe
tapping upstream of the valve for the purpose of reading pressure. A service shuto
valve must be placed within six feet of the Halcyon gas control valve.
Opening for Burner Connection
Figure 19 - Right Side of Cabinet Showing Gas
Supply Opening
The gas supply line must terminate with a ⁄” male are tting.
The Halcyon Gas Fireplace and its main control valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The Halcyon Gas Fireplace must be isolated from the gas
supply system by closing the service valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Verify the gas pressure using the upstream ⁄” pipe tap.

6. INSTALL THE INTERIOR PANELS
a) While wearing gloves, remove any protective lm from each of the ten interior panels. Handle the panels with care so as to
leave as few marks as possible. This will make cleaning them easier.
b) Set the left and right side panels (1, 2) into place in the order shown in Figure 20. Fasten panels 1 and 2 with their top clips.
c) Set the four rear panels (3, 4, 5, 6) into place as shown in Figure 20. Fasten panels 3 and 4 and panels 5 and 6 with the top clips.
Ensure that there are no gaps between the panels and that they are centered.
d) Set the four bottom panels (7, 8, 9, 10) into place in the order shown in Figure 20.
e) Clean all of the panels completely before the First Fire. If the panels are not completely clean the heat can cause permanent
stains. See the MAINTENANCE section.
Figure 20 shows Stainless Steel panels; other panel types are also available.
Figure 20 - Halcyon Panel Numbers
7. INSTALL THE MEDIA
The contents of the bag of Burner Media should be spread to an even depth over the entire burner top.
a) Cut one corner of the bag to form a pouring spout through which the ow of Media can be controlled.
b) Begin at the left end pour the Media onto the center of the burner tray while moving to your right. Care should be taken to
avoid spilling the Media into the bottom of the cabinet. Note that if some spillage does occur there will be no harm but less
Media.
c) After the bag has been emptied on the burner carefully smooth the Media to a uniform depth on the tray. Be certain that glass
does not come within ¼” of the pilot burner hood. Both parts of the pilot ame must be present as in Figure 21.
d) If you have ordered other Media, such as Stones, lay it on and around the burner taking care to avoid covering more than 10
percent of the opening between the burner top and the hearth panels.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Do not operate this appliance with the glass panel removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass panel should be done
by a licensed or qualied service person.
8. INSTALL THE GLASS PANEL ASSEMBLY
Proper care of the glass panel assembly is important for the safe operation of the Halcyon Gas Fireplace. Do not abuse the glass
panel assembly by slamming , striking or scratching it.
When replacing the glass panel assembly use only European Home part number H50-SA-GP-01, substitute parts are not permitted.
Replacement part numbers are listed in the MAINTENANCE section. Replacement of the glass panel assembly should be done by
a qualied service person. Due to the size and weight of the glass panel assembly, caution should be exercised when removing or
installing it.
Removing and installing the glass panel assembly requires it to be held as vertically as possible. Take care to not scratch the nish
on the glass panel frame as it is moved in and out. See Figure 22.

Page 26
INSTALLATION
In order to ease the latching/unlatching of the glass panel assembly, the Halcyon Gas Fireplace comes equipped with a standard
⁄” combination wrench. The wrench is used to make it easier to move the latches – your ngers can do the job just as well.
The tab on the handle of the latches is sized to accept the “box”, or closed, end of the wrench. Holding the wrench at about a 45°
angle to the latch, slip the box end of the wrench over the tab of the latch thus creating an extension of the latch. See Figure 23.
To remove the glass panel assembly, refer to Figure 23 and:
a) Unfasten Latch 2 and Latch 3 by swinging Latch 2 clockwise and Latch 3 counter-clockwise until they swing free of their
catches.
b) Unfasten Latch 1 and Latch 4 by swinging Latch 1 clockwise and Latch 4 counter-clockwise until they swing free of their
catches.
c) Using two hands, swing the bottom edge of the panel out and lift the top of the panel o its mounting rail while moving the
glass panel toward yourself.
To install the glass panel assembly, refer to Figure 23 and:
a) Tilt the top of the glass panel in towards the Fireplace and hang the top lip on its mounting rail on the Fireplace ensuring that
the glass is centered on the face and the gasket does not get pinched at the top of the frame.
b) Fasten Latch 2 and Latch 3 by swinging Latch 2 counter-clockwise and Latch 3 clockwise until they engage their catches.
Fasten the two latches at the same time to ensure that the panel remains centered.
c) Fasten Latch 1 and Latch 4 by swinging Latch 1 counter-clockwise and Latch 4 clockwise until they engage their catches.

INSTALLATION - VENTING
9. CONFIGURING THE VENTING
This section provides venting information which is specic to the Halcyon Gas Fireplace.
The Halcyon Gas Fireplace is a direct vent replace that uses a co-axial or “pipe within a pipe” venting system. The outer “pipe”
or vent (8” diameter) conducts outside air into the Fireplace and the inner vent (5” diameter) carries the exhaust outside. This
technology, which can run either horizontally through a side wall or vertically through the roof, produces an ecient system
because conditioned building air is not used for combustion.
All of the following bulleted points apply to every installation:
• The Halcyon Gas Fireplace requires 5”/8” direct vent components from any of the manufacturers listed in Table 8. Approved
terminations are also listed in Table 8.
• All measurements are taken from the center of the vent connector on the top of the Halcyon cabinet (see Figure 24) and all
congurations must fall within the acceptable range of Chart 1.
• The maximum allowable rise is forty feet and the maximum allowable run is fteen feet but not in combination; see Chart 1.
• The minimum vent conguration is a 12” vertical rise to a 90° elbow plus a 6” horizontal run to a sidewall termination. This
means that the rst vent section must be a 12”, or longer, vertical section.

INSTALLATION - VENTING
• When installed with one foot of rise, the Halcyon can be installed with no more than two 90° elbows OR four 45° elbows OR a
combination totaling no more than 180° ‘elbow degrees’. For example, a combination of one 90° elbow and two 45° elbows is
allowed (90° + 45° + 45° equals 180°) but a combination of two 90° elbows and two 45° elbows is not allowed (the total equals
270°.)
• When installed with more than one foot of rise, the Halcyon can be installed with no more than three 90° elbows OR six 45°
elbows OR a combination totaling no more than 270° ‘elbow degrees’. For example, a combination of two 90° elbows and two
45° elbows is allowed (90° + 90° + 45° equals 270°) but a combination of two 90° elbows and three 45° elbows is not allowed
(the total equals 315°.) These elbows can be installed either horizontally or vertically.
•The rst 90° elbow must have the Horizontal Heat Shield either mounted to the top of the elbow with the enclosed Heat
Shield Mounting Bracket or mounted on the wall as shown in Figure 25.
• A minimum clearance of 1½” must be maintained between combustible materials and any horizontal or vertical vent pipe
surface.
• The horizontal parts of the venting must be pitched up, away from the Fireplace. For every 12 inches of horizontal run, the
venting must rise ¼” toward the termination. The venting must never run downward.
• Whenever venting passes through a wall, a heat shield, or ‘wall thimble’, from any of the manufacturers listed in Table 8 must
be installed.

INSTALLATION - VENTING
10. ADJUSTING THE DRAFT
As the Halcyon Gas Fireplace warms the attached venting, a draft is created. This draft acts on both the intake and exhaust sides
of the venting and produces an eect on the Fireplace ames. In order to obtain the performance for which the Halcyon was
designed, the air intake and exhaust outlet must be adjusted before the installation is complete.
These adjustments are made by setting an Adjustment Quadrant according to Chart 2 (when burning natural gas) or Chart 3 (when
burning LP gas.) On each Chart the air intake setting is designated by a letter from A through E and the exhaust outlet setting is
designated by a number from 0 through 4.
Because the Quadrants are accessible only through the right hand opening in the cabinet face (shown in Figure 26), the wall must
remain open until the Fireplace has been tested and is operating properly.

The Restrictor Settings Charts (pages 32-33) accommodate
venting congurations with up to forty feet of rise and fteen
feet of run but not both.
a) Measure the total amount of vertical rise and the total
amount of horizontal run in your conguration. (The
example in Figure 26 has 8 feet of rise and 9 feet (3’ + 6’ =
9’) of run.)

b) Using the appropriate Chart (Natural or LP gas), nd the
number equal to your rise in the lefthand column and the
number equal to your run in the bottom row.
c) The intersection of your rise and run will be in a distinct
section of the Chart labeled with a double box like this:
If the intersection square is black the vent conguration is
NOT allowed. The lefthand half of the box shows the
setting for the Air Intake Adjustment Quadrant and the
righthand half shows the setting for the Exhaust Outlet
Adjustment Quadrant.

d) Loosen the wingnut holding the Air Intake Adjustment Quadrant and turn the Quadrant to align the index mark with the
appropriate setting on the Quadrant. Tighten the wingnut so that Quadrant can’t move.
e) Loosen the wingnut holding the Exhaust Outlet Adjustment Quadrant and turn the Quadrant to align the index mark with the
appropriate setting on the Quadrant. Tighten the wingnut so that Quadrant can’t move.
Example A
Using the vent conguration shown in Figure 27, and assuming LP gas fuel, we see that the intersection of 8 feet (total rise) and 9
feet (total run) falls within the section labeled:
This means that the Air Intake Adjustment Quadrant is set to a position one half of the way between B and C and the Exhaust Outlet Adjustment Quadrant is set to a position one half of the way between 2 and 3.
Example B
With the same Figure 27 example but assuming natural gas fuel, the intersection of an 8 foot rise and a 9 foot run falls within the
section labeled:
In this case, the Air Intake Adjustment Quadrant is set to a position one half of the way between C and D and the Exhaust Outlet
Adjustment Quadrant is set to a position one quarter of the way between 3 and 4.

The Halcyon Remote Heat Kit provides a method by which heat is moved away from the Halcyon Gas Fireplace. This serves
two purposes; to lower the temperature of the wall face above the Halcyon and to provide heat to another part of the room or
building.
The Remote Heat Kit consists of the following pieces:
• Flexible Insulated Duct
• (2) 10” x 12” Duct Boxes
• (2) Duct Collars
NOTE: A grille for each duct box is NOT included and must be provided by the customer. The grille MUST have a minimum open
area of 41%.
PLANNING
The Remote Heat Kit operates passively; it has no fan. This means that your installation must allow for the unobstructed, free ow
of warm air from the Halcyon Gas Fireplace, through the duct and out of the duct boxes. This can be accomplished by ensuring
that:
a. the duct always rises and
b. the duct is never blocked and
c. the duct boxes are at the high point (and the Halcyon is at the low point) of the Heat Kit installation.
For best performance, i.e. the lowest wall temperature and most warm air, both Remote Heat ports on the Halcyon Gas Fireplace
must be opened and have ducts properly attached. If only one port is ducted the resulting wall temperature will be higher than if
two ports are ducted.
The Remote Heat Kit components can accommodate several dierent installation congurations but the following applies to
every installation:
• When installed, the center of the Remote Heat Kit duct box must be at least 12 inches above the top of the cabinet and
should be in line with the center of the cabinet.
• The insulated duct can be no longer than 10 feet.
• At least 30% of the total length of the insulated duct must run vertically.
• When choosing the duct box nish, do not use a register instead of a grille. If the ow of warm air from the Halcyon Gas
Fireplace is blocked the wall above the Glass Panel Assembly will be subjected to elevated temperatures. The grille MUST
have a minimum open area of 41%.
• The insulated duct must not terminate in a oor-mounted grille; only wall-mounted grilles are permitted.
• The top of the duct box must be at least one inch below any ceiling or mantel. See Figure 30.
• All ducts must be xed so as to remain at least 1½” away from any vertical venting component and 6” away from any
horizontal venting component.
• The ducts must always terminate within the building envelope AND the ducts MUST terminate in an area which allows the
free ow of cool air back to the replace front. Do not terminate the ducts in an enclosed room or space.

OPERATION
As the Halcyon Gas Fireplace heats the air within the cabinet it rises up through the insulated ducts and out through the grilles.
This heated air is replaced with cooler room air that enters the cabinet from around the Glass Panel Assembly. When the Halcyon
cools, the movement of air stops.
NOTE: Make sure that the Heat Kit can move air away from the replace; otherwise the wall face above the replace will be
subjected to elevated temperatures. Refer to Section P2 (PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING) for more information.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If replacement parts are required, only parts made specically for your Halcyon Gas Fireplace can be used. Failure to use only parts
specically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury. Table 9 lists parts approved for use in

OPERATING the FIREPLACE
12. BEFORE THE FIRST FIRE
1. Make sure all construction materials have been removed from inside and around the Fireplace.
2. Conrm the proper placement of the interior panels.
3. Conrm the proper placement of the burner media.
4. Conrm that the electrical wiring is properly connected.
5. Check the gas supply for leaks.
6. Close and properly latch the glass panel.
7. Check that the venting is unobstructed and in proper working condition.
13. THE FIRST FIRE
How to light your Halcyon Gas Fireplace for the rst time is detailed in this section.
The rst time you light your Halcyon Gas Fireplace an odor may be given o by the unit. This is normal and is a result of the ‘burn
o’ of the lubricants and sealants used when manufacturing the Fireplace. We recommend that you open the nearby windows for
extra ventilation and operate the Fireplace for at least four hours.
Upon lighting the Fireplace when the glass is cold, some condensation may appear on the glass. This is normal and the
condensation will disappear as the glass warms.
During this rst re, examine the ame for appearance and quality. Examine the burner media for sooting. The ames should look
like those shown in Figure 33.
After this burn-o period, turn o the Fireplace and let it cool completely to room temperature and clean both sides of the glass
and the interior panels as described in the MAINTENANCE section.
Since it is a metal replace, the heat-up and cool-down cycles may produce some noises caused by the expansion and contraction
of these metals. The premium materials and build quality of your Halcyon Gas Fireplace will keep these sounds to a minimum.

14. FINE-TUNING the FIREPLACE
This section will help you get the best performance from your Halcyon Gas Fireplace.
Note
DO NOT enclose the Halcyon Gas Fireplace until:
• all venting is properly and permanently connected
• the gas supply and electric supply have been tested and are operating properly
• the installation has been inspected and approved by the local code inspection authority
• the Fireplace has been red and ne-tuned
The settings shown on Charts 2 and 3, along with the primary air settings, are the result of extensive testing and are sucient
in nearly every case. However, additional adjustments may be required by certain, specic installation conditions. For example,
an installation on a north wall may require settings which are slightly dierent from those used in a south wall installation. You’ll
know if further ne-tuning is required by looking at the ames in a Fireplace which has been operating for at least an hour.
The ames on your Halcyon Gas Fireplace should be mostly yellow, about four inches long and have some motion to them. They
should be neither short and blue nor long and sooty. If, after operating your Fireplace for at least one hour, the ames look good
then no further adjustment is necessary. See Figure 33.
If an adjustment is necessary it is dependent on the type of fuel that is being used. When burning natural gas, ames that are too
short or too blue will be the most common observation. When burning LP gas, ames that are too long and too sooty will be most
common. Each situation requires dierent actions.
This ne-tuning must be done with the Fireplace installed and operating. As the Fireplace surfaces will be very hot, care must be
taken to avoid serious burns. Always wear gloves and other protective equipment.
SHORT, BLUE and NG
When burning natural gas and the ames are short and blue:
1. If they are open, completely close both primary burner air adjusters.
2. If the appearance of the ame did not change, adjust the air inlet restrictor by:
a) Loosening the intake quadrant locking wingnut
b) Adjust the intake quadrant up the scale by a ¼increment
c) Tighten the wingnut and observe the ames
d) Repeat Step 2 until the ames are taller and more luminescent. If more than one full increment is required and the ames
are still too blue and short then go to Step 3, below.
3. Adjust the exhaust restrictor by:
a) Loosening the exhaust quadrant locking wingnut
b) Adjust the exhaust quadrant up the scale by a ¼increment
c) Tighten the wingnut and observe the ames
d) Repeat Step 3 until the ames are taller and more luminescent. If more than one full increment is required and the ames
are still too short and blue there may be an installation problem. Consult with a European Home representative.

COMPLETING the INSTALLATION
LONG, SOOTY and LP
When burning LP gas and the ames are long and sooty:
1. If the primary burner air adjusters are installed, remove them
2. If the appearance of the ame did not change, adjust the air inlet restrictor by:
a) Loosening the intake quadrant locking wingnut
b) Adjusting the intake quadrant down the scale by a ¼increment
c) Tighten the wingnut and observe the ames
d) Repeat Step 2 until the ame tips become shorter and lighter in color. If more than one full increment is required and the
ames are still too long and sooty then go to Step 3, below.
3. Adjust the exhaust restrictor by:
a) Loosening the exhaust quadrant locking wingnut
b) Adjust the exhaust quadrant down the scale by a ¼increment
c) Tighten the wingnut and observe the ames
d) Repeat Step 3 until the ames are shorter and more luminescent. If more than one full increment is required and the ames
are still too long and sooty there may be an installation problem. Consult with a European Home representative.
Once all adjustments are made, tighten both the Air Intake and Exhaust Outlet Quadrant locking wing nuts. Turn the Fireplace o
and let it cool to room temperature. Close the access doors the before proceeding with the installation.

15. FACING and FINISHING
You’re almost nished!
The Halcyon Gas Fireplace is designed to be enclosed with common building materials; wood, drywall, plaster, etc.
• Any combustible mantels must be installed within the limits described in Section P4 (MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.)
• Provided the required clearances are maintained, the walls that enclose the side and rear of the Halcyon Gas Fireplace may be
constructed of combustible material. The facing within the limits shown in Figure 13, however, must be made of non-combustible material.
• The Halcyon was designed to be faced with approved ½” thick, non-combustible facing. This non-combustible facing can be
installed up to the Facing Bead which surrounds the opening into which the glass panel is set. Figure 34 shows a close-up view
of the Facing Bead over which no material of any kind may be applied.
• The wall above the Fireplace opening is constantly exposed to elevated temperatures. This must be considered when
choosing any fasteners, paint, mastic, sealant, caulk, etc. for use in this area as materials may change color or emit an odor
when heated. Petroleum-based tile adhesives should be avoided and thin-set mortar used instead.

WARNING
Before doing any maintenance work turn o both the gas supply and electric supply then allow the entire Fireplace to cool
completely.
Do NOT clean the glass when it is hot!
To keep your Halcyon Gas Fireplace in peak condition, routine inspection and maintenance should be performed by a qualied
service person. We recommend that this be done prior to the beginning of your heating season.
ANNUAL INSPECTION and CLEANING
1. Remove the glass panel and clean the pilot burner and main burner of any soot, dust or any other build-up. Clean the Flame
Sensor of any corrosion or build-up. Figure 36 shows proper pilot burner operation and Figure 35 shows proper main burner
operation.
2. Inspect the Crushed Glass Burner Media for soot build-up. If excessive soot is present, have a qualied service person inspect
the unit for proper combustion. Carefully clean the Crushed Glass Burner Media with a brush.
3. Check that the vent pipe and termination cap are free from obstructions such as nests, leaves or debris. Ensure that the

MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC CLEANING
NOTE: Both sides of the Halcyon glass panel must be cleaned after the rst re. As part of the ‘burn-o’ process, a white lm may
form on the inside of the glass during the rst few res. Do not allow the lm to accumulate as it can become very dicult to
remove. Allow the glass to cool then clean both sides of the glass panel.
1. The glass may be cleaned as necessary with a replace glass cleaner. We recommend Stove Bright® Gas Appliance Glass
Cleaner by Forrest Paint Co. Follow the instructions for use and do not clean the glass when it is hot! If the glass becomes
coated with deposits which cannot be removed it must be replaced. When replacing the glass panel assembly use only
European Home part number H50-SA-GP-01; substitute parts are not permitted.
2. Exterior metal trim may be cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass or any other part of
the Fireplace.
3. Interior media components may be cleaned with a clean, soft-bristled brush. Do not use any cleaning products, including water,
on the media.
4. When necessary the panels can be removed and cleaned as follows:
a. The stone-like panels should be brushed with a clean, soft-bristled brush. Do not use any cleaning products, including
water, on these panels.
b. The black enamel panels should be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive, household cleaner. We recommend Windex® by SC
Johnson & Son, Inc.
c. The stainless steel panels should be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner. We recommend Stove Bright® Brass and Metal
Polish by Forrest Paint Co.
5. For best results, install the panels while wearing the gloves provided with your Halcyon Gas Fireplace. Do not allow any
liquids to spill inside the Fireplace.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Any repair and troubleshooting of the Halcyon Gas Fireplace must be done by a qualied technician only.
Since the LED on the control module cannot been seen after the Fireplace has been installed, the following assumes that the Halcyon
Burner Assembly has been safely connected to a test bench and that all appropriate safety precautions are being observed.
For proper operation, the control module must be electrically connected to the gas valve and all the ignition wiring connectors
plugged in.
The LED light on the control module provides a self-diagnosis indication. If the red LED is o continuously, the fault is likely to be
internal to the module. To make sure, interrupt the line or 24 volt power for 10 seconds, check program key installation and then
restore. If the internal fault is indicated again, and ame sensor is not shorted to ground, replace the control module. A ashing
light indicates the problem is most likely in the external components or wiring (see Table 11, below). Proceed as follows:
Visual checks
1. After the purge delay (if applicable) the pilot valve opens and the ignition spark starts
2. The pilot burner ame will light
3. The ignition spark stops and the main valve opens
4. The main burner ame will ignite
