Installation Codes

The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the
fireplace, consult the local building code agency to ensure that you are in
compliance with all applicable codes, including permits and inspections.

In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must conform to the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or the CAN/CGA­B149 Installation Codes (in Canada). The appliance must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes
with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (in the United States), or to
the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).

These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting room in the U.S.A.
and Canada.

High Altitude Installations

U.L. Listed gas fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to
2,000 feet in the U.S.A. and from 0 to 4,500 feet in Canada.

When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United
States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the
existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent
(4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas
has been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify the
proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.

When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000 and 4,500 feet (in
Canada), the input rating must be reduced by ten percent (10%).

When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada),
check with local authorities.

Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for
your location.

Step 11
Before Lighting
the Fireplace

Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the
following:

Remove all paperwork and documents from the
fireplace.

Review safety warnings and cautions

 Read the Safety and Warning Information

section at the beginning of this Installers Guide.

Double-check for gas leaks

 Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit

for possible gas leaks.

Double-check vent terminations and front
grilles for obstructions.

 Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit

for possible obstructions that could be blocking
the vent terminations or the front grilles.

Double-check for faulty components
 Any component that is found to be faulty MUST

BE replaced with an approved component.

Tampering with the fireplace components is
DANGEROUS and voids all warranties.

40

Step 12
Lighting the
Fireplace

A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines.
When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few
minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air.
Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light
and will operate normally.

Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require
this purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless

the gas valve has been turned to the OFF
position, in which case the air would have to be

purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run for 8 hours on

the inital start-up.This will help to cure the chemicals
used in the paint and logs.

Youve reviewed all safety warnings, youve checked
the fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent
system is unobstructed, and youve checked for
faulty components. Now youre ready to light the
fireplace.

Relief Ports
Model 6000ARCH

Model 6000 ARCH has a relief port built into the underside
of the firebox (behind the lower grille). See Figure 40. The
port cover plate is spring-loaded to remain closed. The
cover plate activates a safety microswitch which is wired
to the DSI control valve. See Figure 33 DSI Wiring Diagram.

In the unlikely event of a delayed lighting of the burner, the
relief cover plate is designed to open and release the
microswitch lever. This will prevent the DSI valve from op­erating until the cover plate is re-set and the microswitch
lever closed. To Re-set: 1. Pull and hold the microswitch
lever arm DOWN. 2. Push the cover plate UP and release
the switch lever arm. See Figure 40.
