I. Control Module Operation
1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 2.1.
OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code.
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI ame setting, with no adjustment in ame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands
from an optional wired wall switch and/or the wireless
remote (RC300AU).
2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the ame output can be adjusted with the HI/
LO selector switch on the module. See Figure 2.3.
Note that the ame HI/LO selector switch will become
inactive once an optional remote control (RC300AU) is
programmed to the control module. Note that the control
module will always ignite the replace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the ame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the ame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the ame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.
3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the replace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the
RC300AU remote.
4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300AU remote control to operate your
replace, the wall switch will override any commands
given by the remote.
5. The module has the capability to recognize potential
malfunctions. If these occur, it will fail to ignite and/
or respond to a command to ignite via the wall switch
and/or remote. In this case, the module may have
gone into LOCK-OUT mode. In this state, it will emit
a LED error code. To reset the error code, switch the
selector to OFF, and then back to REMOTE or ON. If
the ignition command again fails, the module will emit
an LED error code, prior to going back into LOCK-OUT
mode. Contact your dealer for service if this occurs.

K. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUESOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
Blue ames
Odor from replace
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
Power Outages (battery backup)
Wall above appliance feels hot to
the touch.
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the replace warms, this condensation will disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the replace is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When rst operated, this replace may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from nishing materials
and adhesives used near the replace. These circumstances may require additional curing related
to the installation environment.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint. 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 replace.
This appliance can operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access the battery pack, the decorative front, mesh and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to Section 12
for more details.
No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Specications of the attached non-combustible material are listed in Section 1.E.

Flue Information
A. Flue Components
These models are approved to use Hearth & Home
Technologies series pipes, components and termination.
Approved components are labeled for identication. This
pipe is tested and listed as an approved component of
the stove.
DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED FLUE COMPONENTS. Refer to the flue manufacturer’s instructions.
This product is approved to be flued either horizontally,
through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You may
flue through a Class A or masonry chimney if an approved
adapter is used.
This gas stove is a balanced ue gas stove. All combustion air must come directly from the outside of the building.
The ue pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an outer
pipe. The inner pipe carries the gas stove exhaust out of
the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh combustion air
into the gas stove.
• A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is
required when the ueing passes through a combustible
wall.
• A support box or ceiling restop is required when the
ueing passes through a combustible ceiling.
• Roof ashing and a storm collar are required when ueing
passes through the roof.
• Follow instructions provided with the ueing for installation
of these items.
B. Use of Elbows
CAUTION
ALL ue conguration specications MUST be followed.
• This product is tested and listed to these specications.
• Appliance performance will suffer if specications are not
followed.
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal ue 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, 12 in. (305 mm) 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).
WARNING
Fire Hazard.
Explosion Risk.
Asphyxiation Risk.
Do NOT connect this gas stove to a chimney
ue serving a separate solid-fuel or gas burning
gas stove.
• Flue this gas stove directly outside.
• Use separate ue system for this gas stove.
May impair safe operation of this gas stove or
other gas stoves connected to the ue.

For installations using a round support box/wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for
a 9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm) square hole. The center
of the square hole should line up with the center line of
the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the hole in the exterior
wall where the flue will be terminated. If the wall being
penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, i.e.
masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178 mm) diameter
hole is acceptable.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Review the ueing congurations in Figures A, B and C
on the next page.
CAUTION! Risk of Cuts, Abrasions or Flying Debris.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during instal-
lation. Sheet metal edges are sharp.
1. Assembling Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Figure 7.15
Lay the trim ring on at surface and bend up the six
welded brackets into a 90 degree position. The brackets
along the outer edge of the ring are for locating the ring in
the center of the hole.
Figure 7.17
Attach the heat shield to the trim ring with the four screws
provided. Screws go through the heat shield and into the
brackets on the trim ring.
2. Installing Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Measure from the oor to the center of the ue pipe. Cut
out a 9-1/2 in. (240 mm) hole in the wall. Hold the trim
ring/heat shield assembly in place and put a mark on the
shield with a black marker where it protrudes through the
exterior wall. Figure A on the previous page.
Use that mark as a guide to trim off excess heat shield
with a pair of sheet metal shears.
Figure 7.16
The heat shield is shipped at and must be hand bent into
a half circle before attaching it to the trim ring. Bend the
heat shield as shown.
Heat & Glo • VRT-AUB • 2123-980 Rev. J • 2/13
Figure 7.18
When installing the trim ring/heat shield assembly make
sure the trim ring is centered in the hole and that the
shield is above the pipe. There must be a minimum of 20
mm minimum clearance maintained to combustibles from
the top of the heat shield.
Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a minimum
inner framing diameter of 9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm).
The four trim ring mounting screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.

or other nearby combustible surfaces. (See Figure 7.19).
Check the instructions for maximum vertical rise of the
flueing system, and any maximum horizontal offset limitations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of the
flueing diagrams located in Section 7.
NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 38 ft. (11.58 m)
Figure 7.20.

Step 2.
Set the gas stove in its desired location. Drop a plumb
bob down from the ceiling to the position of the gas stove
flue exit, and mark the location where the flue will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop
a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled
in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the flue will penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or
other framing will obstruct the flueing system. You may
wish to relocate the gas stove, or to offset, as shown in
Figure 7.21 to avoid cutting load bearing members.

To install the round support box/wall thimble cover in a flat
ceiling, cut a 229 mm square hole in the ceiling, centered
on the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as shown in
Figure 7.22.
Figure 7.22
Step 4.
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the gas stove up through the round support box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are
in their fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.
Step 5.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed
in the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size
to meet the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles, as specified. Continue to assemble lengths
of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling
support box/wall thimble up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well
as above the roofline. The galvanized finish is desirable
above the roofline, due to its higher corrosion resistance
(compared to black pipe).
Figure 7.23
Step 7.
Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the
flue (before adding the termination cap) meets the minimum local code requirements. Note that for steep roof
pitches, the flue height must be increased. See Roof
Pitch Table (Figure 4.3). In high wind conditions, nearby
trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other
similar factors can result in poor draft, or down drafting. In
these cases increasing the flue height or switching to the
high wind termination cap may solve this problem.
Step 8.
Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to
the top of the flashing (Figure 7.24). Use non-hardening
sealant above and below the joint between the storm
collar and the pipe.
SECURE FLASHING WITH
NON-HARDENING SEALANT
AND ROOFING NAILS
NOTE:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstruc-
tions, it is important to support the flue pipe every
91.4cm to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and
possible separation. Wall straps are available for this
purpose, Figure 7.10, page 15.
(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the
flow of flue gases and intake air.
Step 6.
Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding
through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the
roof with roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 7.23.
Verify that the chimney is the required height above the
roof. See roof pitch table, Figure 4.3.

Step 9.
Twist-lock the flue cap and seal.
Note: For multi-story vertical installations, a ceiling firestop
is required at the second floor, and any subsequent floors
(Figure 7.25). The opening should be framed to 9 in. x 9
in. (229 mm x 229 mm) inside dimensions, in the same
manner as shown in Figure 7.22.

B. Wall Penetration Framing
Combustible Wall Penetration
Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must
frame a hole for the wall shield restop(s). The wall shield
restop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold
air inltration.
• 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 restop must be placed on each
side of an interior wall. A minimum 1-1/2 inch (38 mm)
overlap of attached heat shields must be maintained.
• See Section 10.H 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 restop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.

E. Control Module Operation
1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 12.4.
OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code.
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI ame setting, with no adjustment in ame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands
from an optional wired wall switch and/or the wireless
remote (RC300AU).
2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the ame output can be adjusted with the HI/
LO selector switch on the module. See Figure 12.4.
Note that the ame HI/LO selector switch will become
inactive once an optional remote control (RC300AU) is
programmed to the control module. Note that the control
module will always ignite the replace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the ame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the ame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the ame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.
3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the replace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the
RC300AU remote.
4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300AU remote control to operate your
replace, the wall switch will override any commands
given by the remote.
5. The module has the capability to recognize potential
malfunctions. If these occur, it will fail to ignite and/
or respond to a command to ignite via the wall switch
and/or remote. In this case, the module may have
gone into LOCK-OUT mode. In this state, it will emit
a LED error code. To reset the error code, switch the
selector to OFF, and then back to REMOTE or ON. If
the ignition command again fails, the module will emit
an LED error code, prior to going back into LOCK-OUT
mode. Contact your dealer for service if this occurs.
