• The fireplace should be run three to four hours
continuously on high.
• Turn the fi replace off and allow it to completely cool.
• Remove fi xed glass assembly. See Section 14.K.
• Clean fi xed glass assembly. See Section 3.
• Replace the fi xed glass assembly and run continuously
on high an additional 12 hours.

place.
NOTICE! Open windows for air circulation during fi replace
break-in.
• Some people may be sensitive to smoke and
odors.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
L. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
Blue fl ames
Odor from appliance
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When fi rst operated, this appliance 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 appliance. These circumstances may require additional curing
related to the installation environment.
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
Is it normal to see the pilot
fl ame burn continually?
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 appliance.
In an Intellifi re ignition system it is normal to see the pilot fl ame, but it should turn off when ON/
OFF is turned to OFF. In a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.

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:
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.
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.
Treatment of ceiling fi restops and wall shield
1/2 in. (13 mm)
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.
C. Clearances
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on
carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than
wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specifi ed air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to
prevent accidental contact.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a fi re.
Combustible flooring may be installed next
to the front of the appliance.

Vent Information and Diagrams
A. Approved Pipe
This appliance is approved for use with Hearth & Home
Technologies DVP and/or SLP venting systems. Refer to
Section 16B for vent component information.
DO NOT mix pipe, fi ttings or joining methods from differ-
ent manufacturers.
The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall.
There is no requirement for inspection openings at each
joint within the wall.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation. This appliance
requires a separate vent. DO NOT vent to a pipe serving a
separate solid fuel burning appliance.

C. Use of Elbows
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects
when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical
aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see Figure
7.1).
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow.
On 45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216
mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) vertical run. A
length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º elbows
(see Figure 7.1).
D. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent
diagrams were made using the following standards.
• Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length
of pipe (see Figure 7.2).
• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap).
• Vertical terminations are measured to bottom of
termination cap.
• Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.

E. Vent Diagrams
To replace the fi rst starter elbow with two 45° elbows,
refer to Figure 7.4. All other 90° elbows can be replaced
with two 45° elbows.
General Rules:
• SUBTRACT 3 ft. from the total H measurement for each
90° elbow installed horizontally.
• SUBTRACT 1-1/2 ft. from the total H measurement for
each 45° elbow installed horizontally.
• A maximum of three 90° elbows (or six 45° elbows)
may be used in any vent confi guration. Some elbows
may be installed horizontally. See Figure 7.9.
• Elbows may be placed back to back anywhere in the
system as long as the fi rst 90° elbow is a starter elbow
except as shown in Figure 7.4.
• When penetrating a combustible wall, a wall shield
fi restop must be installed.
• When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling
fi restop must be installed.
• Horizontal runs of vent do not require vertical rise;
horizontal runs may be level.
Note: The CD series appliances can adapt to SLP series
vent pipe when venting off the top of the appliance.
You must use a DVP-SLP24 adapter which can only
be attached to the appliance starting collar.
When looking at horizontal termination diagrams, the
adapter is not counted as part of the minimum vertical
(V
min.) requirements.
1
Whether horizontal or vertical termination, the adapter is
counted as part of the maximum vertical limitations.
All venting rules for the vent run must still be followed.
