continuously on high.
• Turn the fi replace off and allow it to completely cool.
• Clean glass doors. See Section 3.
• Run continuously on high an additional 12 hours.

NOTICE! Open windows for air circulation during fi replace
break-in.
• Some people may be sensitive to smoke and odors.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
K. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUESOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
Blue fl ames
Odor from fi replace
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fi replace warms, this
condensation will disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the fi replace is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When fi rst operated, this fi replace may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from
fi nishing materials and adhesives used near the fi replace. These circumstances may require
additional curing related to the installation environment.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass
cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the fi replace.

B. Design and Installation Considerations
Heatilator B-type vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of
the building, and combustion air pulled from the room.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, fi re offi cials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system confi guration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and fi nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For
assistance or additional information, consult a qualifi ed
service technician, service agency or your dealer.
D. Inspect Appliance and Components
The following B-vent components are needed for installation.
• Fireplace Box
• Pipe Components
• Firestops
• Attic Insulation Shield
• Elbows
• Strapping
• Roof Flashing or Chase Top
• Termination Cap
• Storm Collar
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
• The vent system components and decorative doors and
fronts may be shipped in separate packages.
• If packaged separately, the log set and appliance grate
must be installed.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
• Read all of the instructions before starting the installation.
Follow these instructions carefully during the installation
to ensure maximum safety and benefi t.
C. Tools and Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure that the following tools and building supplies are available.
Tape measure Framing material
Pliers High temperature caulking
material
Hammer Phillips screwdriver
Gloves Framing square
Voltmeter Electric drill and bits (1/4 in.)
Plumb line Safety glasses
Level Reciprocating saw
Manometer Flat blade screwdriver
Noncorrosive leak check solution
1/2 - 3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 Self-drilling screws
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! Damaged parts
could impair safe operation. DO NOT install damaged,
incomplete or substitute components. Keep appliance dry.
Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility for,
and the warranty will be voided by, the following actions:
• Installation and use of any damaged appliance or vent system
component.
• Modifi cation of the appliance or vent system.
• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies.
• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not approved
by Hearth & Home Technologies.
Any such action may cause a fi re hazard.
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Electric Shock!
DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under wa-
ter. Call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the appli-
ance and to replace any part of the control system and/or
gas control which has been under water.

Page 16
E. Negative Pressure
WARNING! Asphyxiation Risk! Negative pressure can
cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fireplace
needs to draft properly for safety.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fi replaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of fi replace and chimneyNegative pressure results from the imbalance of air
available for the fi replace to operate properly. Causes for
this imbalance include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air to furnace or air conditioning
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the following must be considered:
• Install the fresh air kit. Install the intake on the side of
the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.
• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment.
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the fi replace.
• Avoid installing the fi replace near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces.
• Recessed lighting should be of “sealed can” design; attic
hatches weather stripped or sealed; and attic mounted
ductwork and air handler joints and seams taped or
sealed.
• Basement installations should be avoided due to stack
effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent fi replaces in basements.
Location of the fi replace and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in Figure 4.2, the chimney should:
• Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the
building envelope. This helps to produce more draft,
especially during lighting and die-down of the fi re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the effects of wind turbulence.
• Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven
roof lines and other obstructions.
Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized. Consider the fi replace location relative to fl oor
and ceiling and attic joists.

B. Construct the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling fi restops and wall shield
fi restops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the
requirements of local building codes. Therefore, you MUST
check local building codes to determine the requirements
to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
39-3/4 in.
(1010 mm)
19-1/4 in.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infi ltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infi ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may
be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness. To
further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fi re-
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should
be caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced
insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement
slab, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to
prevent conducting cold up into the room.

Troubleshooting
With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you
do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualifi ed service technician in the diagnosis of a problem
and the corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualifi ed service technician. Con-
tact your dealer to arrange a service call by a qualifi ed service technician.
A. Standing Pilot Ignition System
SymptomPossible CausesCorrective Action
1. After repeated triggering
of the red or black piezo
ignitor button, the spark
ignitor will not light the
pilot. Check for spark.
A. No gas or low gas pressure.Check the remote shut-off valves from the appliance. Usually, there
is a valve near the gas main. There can be more than one valve
between the appliance and the main.
B. No LP in tank.Check the LP (propane) tank. You may be out of fuel.
C. Ignitor.Check the spark at the electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace the ignitor. Verify that there is no
short in electrode wire.
D. Pilot or misaligned electrode
(spark at electrode).
Using match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and
trigger the piezo ignitor 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 the gap at the
electrode and pilot is one-eighth inch to have a strong spark. If the
gap is OK, replace the pilot.
2. The pilot will not stay lit
after carefully following the
lighting instructions.
3. The pilot is burning, there
is no burner fl ame, the
valve knob is in the ON
position, and the ON/OFF
switch is in the ON
position.
A. Thermocouple.Check that the pilot fl ame impinges on the thermocouple. Adjust the
pilot for proper fl ame impingement.
Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully
inserted and tight (hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).
Verify proper voltage output from the thermocouple to the valve.
Place one millivolt meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper lead.
Place the second lead wire on the solder button on the back of the
valve (blue wire). Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. The
millivolt reading should read 8-16 millivolts. If millivolt reading is less
than 8 millivolts, replace thermocouple.
B. Improper gas inlet pressure.Natural gas should be 5-7 in. w.c. LP should be 11-14 in. w.c. Verify
pressure with manometer.
C. Valve.If the thermocouple is producing 8-16 millivolts, replace control valve.
A. On/off switch or wires
defective.
B. Thermopile may not be
generating suffi cient
millivoltage.
Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place
the jumper wires across the terminals at the ON/OFF switch. If the
burner comes on, replace the ON/OFF switch. If the switch is OK,
place the jumper wires across the ON/OFF switch wires at the gas
valve. If the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are
bad.
Check that the pilot fl ame impinges thermopile properly.
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.
Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the reading at
TH-TP&TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 350
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 thermopile if the reading is below the specifi ed
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 350 millivolts minimum. Replace the thermopile if the
reading is below the minimum.

3. (continued)C. Valve.Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in
the ON position. Check the millivolt meter a 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.
D. Plugged burner orifi ce.Check the burner orifi ce for stoppage. Remove stoppage.
E. Wall switch or wires.Check the wall switch and wires for proper connections. Place the
jumper wires across the terminals at the wall switch. If the burner
comes on, replace the wall switch. If the wall switch is OK, place
the jumper wires across the wall switch wires at the gas valve. If the
burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are bad.
