D. High Altitude Installations

NOTICE: If the heating value of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. Check with your local gas utility or authorities having jurisdiction.

When installing above 2000 feet elevation:

In the USA: Reduce input rate 4% for each 1000 feet above 2000 feet.

In CANADA: Reduce input rate 10% for elevations between 2000 feet and 4500 feet. Above 4500 feet, consult local gas utility.

Check with your local gas utility to determine proper orifice size.

E. Non-Combustible Materials Specification

Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.

Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC and UL763 shall be considered non-combustible materials.

F. Combustible Materials Specification

Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, or other material that can ignite and burn, whether flame proofed or not, or plastered or unplastered shall be considered combustible materials.

G. Electrical Codes

NOTICE: This appliance must be electrically wired and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or the Canadian Electric

Code CSA C22.1.

A 110-120 VAC circuit for this product must be protected with ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection, in compliance with the applicable electrical codes, when it is installed in locations such as in bathrooms or near sinks.

User Guide

2 Operating Instructions

A. Gas Fireplace Safety

WARNING

HOT SURFACES!

Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation AND cool down.

Hot glass will cause burns.

DO NOT touch glass until it is cooled

NEVER allow children to touch glass

Keep children away

CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as fireplace.

Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures.

High temperatures may ignite clothing or other flammable materials.

Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other flammable materials away.

If you expect that small children or vulnerable adults may come into contact with this fireplace, the following precautions are recommended:

Install a physical barrier such as:

-A decorative firescreen.

-Adjustable safety gate.

Install a switch lock or a wall/remote control with child protection lockout feature.

Keep remote controls out of reach of children.

Mantel

Outside Air Kit

High Limit Switch

Clear Space

Section 2.D. Hearth

(not required)

Never leave children alone near a hot fireplace, whether operating or cooling down.

Teach children to NEVER touch the fireplace.

Consider not using the fireplace when children will be present.

Contact your dealer for more information, or visit: www. hpba.org/staysafe.

To prevent unintended operation when not using your fireplace for an extended period of time (summer months, vacation, trips, etc):

Remove batteries from remote controls.

Turn off wall controls.

Unplug 3 volt adapter plug and remove batteries on IPI models.

Turn off gas controls valve on standing pilot models.

When lighting the pilot light on fireplaces with a standing pilot, check for the presence of residual gas build-up. See Standing Pilot Lighting instructions and Maintenance Tasks.

B. Your Fireplace

WARNING! DO NOT operate fireplace before reading and understanding operating instructions. Failure to operate fireplace according to operating instructions could cause fire or injury.

C. Clear Space

WARNING! DO NOT place combustible objects in front of the fireplace or block louvers. High temperatures may start a fire. See Figure 2.2.

Avoid placing candles and other heat-sensitive objects on mantel or hearth. Heat may damage these objects.

Clear space 3 ft (914 mm) in front of appliance

Figure 2.2 Clear Space

D. Decorative Doors and Fronts

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Install ONLY doors or fronts approved by Hearth & Home Technologies. Unapproved doors or fronts may cause fireplace to overheat.

For more information refer to the instructions supplied with your decorative door or front.

E. Remote Controls, Wall Controls and Wall Switches

Follow the instructions supplied with the control installed to operate your fireplace:

For safety:

Install a switch lock or a wall/remote control with child protection lockout feature.

Keep remote controls out of reach of children.

See your dealer if you have questions.

F. Outside Air (optional)

The outside air kit supplies some fresh combustion air for your fireplace. It may help reduce the effects of negative air pressure. (See Section 9.A.)

Refer to Figure 2.1 for location of control.

Close the inlet to prevent cold drafts when the fireplace is not being used.

CAUTION! Risk of Burns! The outside air control handle is HOT when fireplace is in operation. Adjust BEFORE lighting fire.

G. Before Lighting Fireplace

Before operating this fireplace for the first time, have a qualified service technician:

Verify all shipping materials have been removed from inside and/or underneath the firebox.

Review proper placement of logs, ember material and/or other decorative materials.

Check the wiring.

Check the air shutter adjustment.

Ensure that there are no gas leaks.

Determine if this fireplace has a standing pilot or an Intellifire ignition system. Ask your dealer or open control access panel, look at gas valve assembly.

-A standing pilot ignition will have a red or black ignitor button (refer to Figure 12.1).

-An Intellifire ignition system will not have a button.

J. After Fireplace is Lit

Initial Break-in Procedure

The fireplace should be run three to four hours continuously on high.

Turn the fireplace off and allow it to completely cool.

Clean glass doors. See Section 3.

Run continuously on high an additional 12 hours.

This cures the materials used to manufacture the fireplace.

NOTICE! Open windows for air circulation during fireplace break-in.

Some people may be sensitive to smoke and odors.

Smoke detectors may activate.

K. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUE

SOLUTIONS

 

 

Condensation on the glass

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this

condensation will disappear.

 

 

 

Blue flames

This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is al-

lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

 

 

 

 

When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is

Odor from fireplace

caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from

finishing materials and adhesives used near the fireplace. These circumstances may require

 

 

additional curing related to the installation environment.

 

 

Film on the glass

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

Metallic noise

the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or

 

longevity of the fireplace.
