The heater can be mounted on any of the following surface:
1. A flat surface (minimum 6mm base).
B
2. Four (4) corner supports.
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks). These
supports must be positioned so they contact all four (4)
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
Heater framing can be built before or after the heater is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and heater facing material. The
E
D
heater framing should be constructed of 2 inch X 4 inch
(51 x 102mm) lumber or heavier. The framing headers
may rest on the heater standoffs. Refer to Figure 2 and

1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Not intended for fireplace insert.
In planning the installation for the heater it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed, the
type of flue system to be used (straight out, corner, or
elevated), and whether optional accessories (wall
switch or remote control) are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned. Refer to the appliance data
plate on the base pan of the heater for all gas pressures and input rate information.
*NOTE: The center of the framing hole is one inch
(254mm) above the center of the horizontal flue pipe.

CAUTION: Measure heater dimensions, and
verify framing methods and wall covering details before framing construction begins.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This model is designed to operate with all combustion air being siphoned from the outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the
outside of the building.
WARNING: THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH
SOLID FUEL.
These units MUST use the flue termination described
in the flueing section of the manual.
WALL STUD
38mm
NON-COMBUSTIBLE ZONE
IS DEFINED BY 76MM ABOVE THE
ELBOW FOR THE ENTIRE
WIDTH AND DEPTH (BEH IND THE
FRONT HEADER) OF T HE F I R EB OX.
The control system for this model is an electronic ignition type. It consists of a gas control valve/variable regulator, a pilot/sensor/electrode and an ON/OFF switch.
The controls are located behind the access door. Rotate the door down to open. See Figure 1.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purpose of input
adjustment is 4.5 inches w.c. (1.13kPa) for natural gas
and 1 1 inches w.c. (2.75kPa) for propane. Manifold (outlet) pressures should be set at 3.5 inches w.c. (.8kPa)
for natural gas models and 9.5 inches w.c. (2.36kPa) for
propane models.
NOTES: 1. All distances are measured vertically or horizontally along the wall to a point
in line with the nearest part of the terminal.
2. Prohibited area below electricity meter or fuse box extends to ground level.
3. See clause 5.13.6.6 for restrictions on a flue terminal under a roofed area.
4. See Appendix J, Figure J1(a) and J2(a) for clearances required from a flue
terminal to a LP Gas cylinder. A flue terminal is considered to be a source of ignition.

1.2 FLUE SYSTEM APPROVALS
These models have flue starting collars on both the top
and the back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide which ONE set of starting collars will be
used to attach the flue system. The starting collar sealing
cap must remain on the starting collar NOT used.
These models use SL-D-series direct flue components
when using the TOP flue collars and DVP-series direct
flue components when using the REAR flue collars.
WARNING: YOU MUST NOT MIX DVP-SERIES
AND SL D-SERIES COMPONENTS IN ANY FLUE
SYSTEM CONFIGURA TION.
Approved flue system components are labeled for
identification. NO OTHER FLUEING SYSTEMS ORCOMPONENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation
instructions are included with each flue termination kit
and should be used in conjunction with this manual. Figure
5 below shows flue system components and terminations.
Identifying Flue Components
The flue systems installed on this gas fireplace may
include one, two, or three 90°
relationships of vertical rise to horizontal run in flue
elbow assemblies. The
FLUE TERMINA TION APPROV ALS
configurations using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly
adhered to. The rise to run relationships are shown in
the flueing drawings and tables on the next few pages.
WARNING: THIS GAS APPLIANCE AND FLUE AS-
SEMBL Y MUST FLUE DIRECTL Y TO THE OUTSIDE
AND MUST NEVER BE A T T ACHED T O A CHIMNEY
SERVING A SEP ARA TE SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE. EACH GAS APPLIANCE MUST USE A
SEPARATE FLUE SYSTEM-COMMON FLUE SYSTEMS ARE PROHIBITED.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD
COMBUSTIBLE MA TERIAL BE CLOSER THAN 3
INCHES (2 1/2 INCHES (64MM) AT WALL FIRESTOPS) FROM THE TOP OF THE PIPE OR 1-INCH
TO THE SIDES AND THE BOTT OM FOR HORIZONTAL
SECTIONS OF THIS FLUE SYSTEM. VERTICAL
SECTIONS OF THIS SYSTEM REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 1-INCH (25MM) CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MA TERIALS ALL AROUND THE PIPE.
For alternative installations, other than depicted, contact your dealer for further information.
Refer to Figure 4 for required clearances to flue terminals.
If the heater installation requires a vertical flue exceeding 4.5m above the unit with no horizontal
flue or elbows, a vertical flue restrictor must be
installed (see Figure 8).
