Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc., on behalf of its hearth brands (”HHT”), extends the following warranty for
HHT gas, wood, pellet, coal and electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership
of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered compo­nents manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period,
HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its
obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product
itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty
is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.

WARRANTY PERIOD:

Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage
begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent,
authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months
following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for
parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.

The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for
gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These
time periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.

K. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUE SOLUTIONS

Condensation on the glass

Blue fl ames

Odor from appliance

Film on the glass

Metallic noise

Is it normal to see the pilot fl ame burn
continually?

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 al-
lowed 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 the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Odor may
also be released from fi nishing materials and adhesives used around the appliance.

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 to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing
process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas fi replace 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 a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.

B. Design and Installation Considerations

Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of
the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
No additional outside air source is required.

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 requirements.

• 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.

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 Non-corrosive leak check solution
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
1/2 - 3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 Self-drilling screws
Caulking material (300ºF minimum continuous exposure

rating)
One 1/4 in. female connection (for optional fan).

D. Inspect Appliance and Components

• 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 instal-

lation. Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benefi t.

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! Damaged parts
could impair safe operation. DO NOT install damaged, in-
complete or substitute components. Keep appliance dry.

Hearth & Home T echnologies 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

water. Call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system
and/or gas control which has been under water.

Framing and Clearances

A. Selecting Appliance Location

When selecting a location for the appliance it is important to
consider the required clearances to walls (see Figure 5.1).

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate
clearance around air openings and for service access.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be locat­ed out of traffi c and away from furniture and draperies.

B. Constructing 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 be 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.

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 restops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of
300ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas line
holes and other openings should be caulked with caulk
with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating 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.

• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with fi replace or chimney.

• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a fi re.

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).

E. Use of Flex Vent

The fl ex vent must be supported with
the spacing between support intervals
not exceeding 4 feet, with no more
than 1/2 inch sag between supports.

A support is required at each change
in venting direction, and in any location
where it is necessary to maintain the
necessary clearance to combustibles.
A simple “up and out” installation (Fig­ure 7.3) requires only enough support
to maintain the necessary clearance
to combustibles. However, the vent at­tachment point and the fi restop loca-
tion are considered to be supports.

Exhaust restrictors are recommended for these verti­cally terminated products which have excessive draft.
Exhaust restrictors will compensate for high draft, and
restore visual fl ame height. If the vent confi guration has
a total vertical of 15-60 feet, an exhaust restrictor may
be needed. The exhaust restrictor can be located in the
appliance manual bag.

Vent Clearances and Framing

A. Pipe Clearances to Combustibles

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain air space clearance to
vent. DO NOT pack insulation or other combustibles:

• Between ceiling fi restops

• Between wall shield fi restops

• Around vent system
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from

vent pipe may cause over heating and fi re.

Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).

• DVP heat shield - designed to be used on a wall 4 in. to 7-1/4 in. (102 mm to 184
mm) thick.

• If wall thickness is less than 4 in. the existing heat shields must be field trimmed. If
wall thickness is greater than 7-1/4 in. a DVP-HSM-B will be required.

• SLP heat shield - designed to be used on a wall 4-3/8 in. to 7-5/8 in. (111 mm to
194 mm thick).

• If wall thickness is less than 4-3/8 the existing heat shields must be field trimmed.
If wall thickness is greater than 7-5/8 in. a DVP-HSM-B will be required.

B. Wall Penetration Framing

Combustible Wall Penetration

Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must
frame a hole for the wall shield fi restop(s). The wall shield
fi restop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold
air infi ltration.

• The opening must be framed on all four sides using the
same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction.

• SLP pipe - A wall shield fi restop must be placed on each
side of an interior wall. A minimum 1-1/2 in. (38 mm)
overlap of attached heat shields must be maintained.

• DVP pipe - A wall shield fi restop is required on one side
only on interior walls. If your local inspector requires a
wall shield fi restop on both sides, then both wall shield
fi restops must have a heat shield (refer to Section 16.B.)
attached to them.

• See Section 10.M. for information for regarding the in­stallation of a horizontal termination cap.

Non-Combustible Wall Penetration

If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncom­bustible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter
one inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.

Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall
shield fi restop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.

Inc. requires the use of an attic shield.

The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54
requires an attic shield constructed of 26 gauge minimum
metal that extends at least 2 in. (51 mm) above insulation.

Attic shields must meet specifi ed clearance and be se-
cured in place.

Flat Ceiling Installation

• Remove one shield from box.

NOTICE: Cut previously installed batt insulation to make
room for the attic insulation shield.

• Wrap shield around pipe if pipe is already installed in
area to be insulated.

• Match the three holes in each side and fasten with three
screws to form a tube.

• Bend three tabs on the bottom of the shield outward to
allow attachment to the ceiling fi restop.

• Bend the remaining bottom tabs inward 90º to maintain
the air space between the pipe and the shield. Set the
shield on the ceiling fi restop and attach to the fi restop.

• Bend all tabs inward 90º around the top of the shield.
These tabs must be used to prevent blown insulation
from getting between the shield and vent pipe, and to
maintain air space clearance.

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. Contact
your dealer to arrange a service call by a qualifi ed service technician.

A. Standing Pilot Ignition System

Symptom Possible Causes Corrective Action

1. After repeated triggering
of the red or black piezo
ignitor 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 burner
fl ame, the valve knob is
in the ON position, and
the ON/OFF switch is in
the ON position.

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 be-

tween 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).

A. Thermocouple. Check that the pilot fl ame impinges on the thermocouple. Adjust the

B. Improper gas inlet pressure. Natural gas should be 5-14 in. w.c. LP should be 10-14 in. w.c. Verify

C. Valve. If the thermocouple is producing 8-16 millivolts, replace control valve.
A. ON/OFF switch or wires. Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place

B. Thermopile may not be gen-

erating suffi cient millivoltage.

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 elec-

trode and pilot is one-eighth in. to have a strong spark. If the gap is

OK, replace the pilot.

Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully in-

serted 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 mil-

livolt reading should read 8-16 millivolts. If millivolt reading is less

than 8 millivolts, replace thermocouple.

the jumper wires across the terminals at the ON/OFF switch. If the

burner comes on, replace the ON/OFF switch. If the ON/OFF 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 mil-

livolts 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 mini-

mum.

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 read-

ing 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. Take a reading with a
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.

D. Plugged burner orifi ce. Check the burner orifi ce for stoppage. Remove stop-

page.

E. Wall switch or wires. Check the wall switch and wires for proper connec-

tions. 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
