Installing Flue Components
1. Attaching the First Flue Component to the Starting Collars: A. On the REAR of the heater
• To attach the first flue component to the starting collars on the rear of the heater make sure that the heater gasket supplied with the heater seals between the first flue component and the outer heater wrap.
• The first 90° elbow installed in the flue system of a rear flueing heater MUST BE in a vertical position.
B. On the TOP of the heater
To attach the first flue component to the starting collars on the top of the heater:
• Slide the male end of the inner flue of the pipe section into the inner collar on the heater. At the same time, insert the outer flue into the outer collar on the heater. Push the flue section into the appliance collar until all the lances (see Figure 16) have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the flue to con­firm that it has completely locked into place.
• Slide the ceramic fiber pad over the first flue section and place it flush to the fire­place. Continue to add vent components.
FIGURE 16.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE HEATER GASKET SUPPLIED WITH THE HEATER SEALS BETWEEN THE FIRST FLUE COMPONENT AND THE OUTER HEA TER WRAP .
C. Continue Adding Flue Components
To continue adding flue components in accordance with the pre-planned flue system configuration:
• Ensure that each succeeding flue component is securely fitted and locked into the preceding component in the flue system. NOTE: Make sure that seams are NOT aligned to prevent unintentional disconnection.
• For elbows that are changing the flue direction, two screws minimum should be put in the outer flue at the joint to prevent the elbow from rotating.
2. Install Support Brackets
For Horizontal Runs - The flue system must be supported every five (5) feet (152.4 cm)
of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe support. T o inst all support brackets for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the flue pipe.
21
For Vertical Runs - The flue system must be supported every 240 cm above the heater flue outlet by wall brackets.
To install support brackets for vertical runs:
• Attach wall brackets to the flue pipe and secure the wall bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.

3. Install Firestops
For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on
both sides of a combustible wall through which the flue passes.
T o install firestop s (heat shield) for horizontal runs that pass through either interior or exterior walls:
• Cut a 25.4 cm X 30.5 cm hole through the wall.
• Position the firestops on both sides of the hole pre-
viously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.

FIGURE 18. Flue Pipe & Firestop
For Vertical Runs - One firestop is REQUIRED at the
hole in each ceiling through which the flue passes. To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through
ceilings:
• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the ver­tical flue component.
• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the flue.

• Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit (see Replacement Parts Section of the manual.)
• Replace the latches and tension springs.
Step 11 Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the
following:
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible gas leaks.
Double-check flue terminations and front grilles for obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible obstructions that could be blocking the flue terminations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE replaced with an approved component. Tampering with the fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally .
Step 12 Lighting the Fireplace
After the Installation
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run for 3 to 4 hours on the initial start-up. T urn it of f and let it cool completely. Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products used in the paint and logs.
Y ou’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the fireplace for gas leaks, you know the flue system is unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components. Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.

Trouble­shooting
With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas fireplace will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis of a problem and the corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualified service technician.
40
Symptom
1. After repeated triggering of the red or black piezo button, the spark ignitor will not light the pilot.
2. The pilot will not stay lit after carefully following the lighting instructions.
3. The pilot is burning, there is no gas burner, the valve knob is in the ON position, and the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.
Possible Cause
a. Defective ignitor
b. Defective pilot or
misaligned electrode (spark at electrode)
c. No gas or low gas
pressure
d. No LP in the tank a. Defective
thermocouple
b. Defective valve
a. ON/OFF switch or
wires defective
b. Thermopile may
not be generating sufficient millivoltage
Corrective Action
Check the spark at the electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode wire properly connected, replace the ignitor.
Using a match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and trigger the red or black piezo button again. If the pilot lights, an improper gas/air mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period is recommended. If the pilot will not light, ensure that the gap at the electrode and pilot is 0.3 cm to have a strong spark. If the gap is OK, replace the pilot.
Check the remote shut-off valves from the fireplace. Usually, there is a valve near the gas main. There can be more than one (1) valve between the fireplace and the main.
Check the LP (propane) tank. You may be out of fuel.
Check that the pilot flame impinges on the thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust the pilot for maximum flame impingement.
Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight (hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).
Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt meter lead wire on the tip of the thermocouple and the other meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less than 15mV, replace the thermocouple.
If thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, replace faulty valve.
Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place the jumper wires across the terminals at the switch. If the burner comes on, replace the defective switch. If the switch is OK, place the jumper wires across the switch wires at the gas valve. If the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are bad.
If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust the pilot flame.
Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve terminals are tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot bracket.
is
Symptom
3. (Continued)
Possible Cause
c. Defective valve
d. Plugged burner
orifice
e. Wall switch or wires
are defective
Corrective Action
Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the reading at TH-TP&TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 325 millivolts minimum, while holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the specified minimum.
With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading should be 325 millivolts minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.
Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON position. Check the millivolt meter at the thermopile terminals. The millivolt meter should read greater than 125mV If the reading is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, replace the gas valve.
Check the burner orifice for stoppage. Remove stoppage.
Follow the corrective action in Symptom and Possible Cause 1. a. above. Check the switch and wiring. Replace where defective.
4. Frequent pilot outage problem.
a. Pilot flame may be
too high or too low, or blowing (high), causing pilot safety to drop out
Clean and adjust the pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on thermocouple. Follow lighting instructions carefully.
41
Symptom
5. The pilot and main burner extinguish while in operation.
Possible Cause
a. No LP in the tank
b. Inner flue pipe
leaking exhaust gases back into the system
c. Horizontal flue
improperly pitched
d. Glass too loose and
air tight packet leaks in corners after usage
Corrective Action
Check the LP (propane) tank. Refill the fuel tank.
Check for gas leaks.
The horizontal flue cap should slope down only enough to prevent any water from entering the unit. The maximum downward slope is 0.6 cm.
Tighten the corner.
6. Glass soots.
7. Flame burns blue and lifts off burner.
e. Bad thermopile or
thermocouple
f. Improper flue cap
installation
a. Flame impingement
b. Improper venturi
setting
c. Debris around
venturi
a. Insufficient oxygen
being supplied
Replace if necessary.
Check for proper installation and freedom from debris or blockage.
Adjust the log set so that the flame does not excessively impinge on it.
Adjust the air shutter at the base of the burner.
Inspect the opening at the base of the burner. NO MATERIAL SHOULD BE PLACED IN THIS OPENING.
Ensure that the flue cap is installed properly and free of debris. Ensure that the flue system joints are tight and have no leaks.
Ensure that no debris has been placed in the area at the base of, or in the area of, the air holes in the center of the base pan beneath the burner.
Ensure that the glass is tightened properly on the unit, particularly on top corners.
