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 an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot fl ame should turn off when appliance is
turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot fl ame to
remain lit.

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 re-
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with un­faced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a
cement surface, 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.

Vent Information and Diagrams

A. Approved Pipe

This appliance is approved for use with Hearth & Home
T echnologies DVP 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) (see Figure

6.3).

• Vertical terminations are measured to bottom of
termination cap.

• Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.

E. Vent Diagrams
Top Vent - Horizontal Termination

Note: The 6000/8000 series fi replaces can adapt to SLP series

vent pipe, if desired.

When venting off the top of the unit, use a DVP-2SL adapter and a
minimum 48 inch vertical section of SLP series vent pipe.

A DVP-SLP24 adapter may also be used with a 24 inch vertical
section of SLP series vent pipe.

After the 48 inch vertical section, the venting table rules must be
followed. The fi rst 48 inch vertical section is NOT counted as part
of the vertical components in the table. It is still counted as part of
the overall maximum run. All venting table rules for the vent run
must still be followed.

Example: DVP pipe 3 ft. min. vertical = 11 ft. max. horizontal
SLP pipe 7 ft. min. vertical = 11 ft. max. horizontal
