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 ﬂ ue gas stove. All combus- tion air must come directly from the outside of the building. The ﬂ 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 heat shield is required when the ﬂ ue pipe passes through a combustible wall.

• A support box or ceiling ﬁ restop is required when the venting passes through a ceiling.

• Roof ﬂ ashing and a storm collar are required when ﬂ ue pipe passes through the roof.

• Follow instructions provided with the ﬂ ue pipe for instal- lation of these items.

B. Use of Elbows

CAUTION

ALL ﬂ ue conﬁ guration speciﬁ cations MUST be followed.

• This product is tested and listed to these speciﬁ cations.

• Appliance performance will suffer if speciﬁ cations are not followed.

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 4.1).

Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow . On 45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 216 mm horizontal run and 216 mm vertical run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º elbows (see Figure 4.1).

Step 1.

Determine the desired location of the gas stove. Check to ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way when the flue system is being planned. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the gas stove.

FEMALE LOCKING LUGS

MALE LOCKING LUGS

Figure 4.13

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk. Combustion Fume Risk. Use ﬂ ue run supports per installation in-

structions. Connect ﬂ ue sections per installation in-

structions.

• Maintain all clearances to combustibles.

• Do NOT allow ﬂ ue to sag below connection point to appliance.

• Maintain speciﬁ ed slope (if required).

Improper support may allow ﬂ ue to sag or separate.

WARNING

Fire Risk Exhaust Fumes Risk Impaired Performance of Appliance

• Ensure flue components are locked together correctly.

• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Step 2.

Balanced flue pipe is designed with a locking connection. To connect the flue system to the gas stove flue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into the gas stove at the factory. Wall thickness may vary. Remember to include wall thickness in minimum clearances when figuring flueing lengths for your installation needs.

Note: Female ends of balanced flue pipe/elbows are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes by orienting the pipe indentations so they match and slide into the entry slots on the male ends, see Figure

4.13. Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs may not be visible from the outside. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends.

Step 3.

For installations using a slim line heat shield (check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the outside wall for a 254 mm x 254 mm square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure 4.12. 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 178 mm diameter hole is acceptable.

Step 4.

Install slim line heat shield as shown in Section 4F.

Step 5.

Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of the 254 mm x 254 mm square hole and run a bead of non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, to make a seal between it and the wall.

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 ﬂ oor to the center of the ﬂ ue pipe. Cut out a 241 mm diameter round 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. See Figure 4.12 on previous page.

Use that mark as a guide to trim off excess heat shield with a pair of sheet metal shears.

Figure 4.17

Figure 4.15

The heat shield is shipped ﬂ at and must be hand bent into a half circle before attaching it to the trim ring. Bend the heat shield as shown.

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 19 mm clearance maintained to combustibles from the top of the heat shield.

Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a minimum

Step 1.

Check the installation instructions for required 25 mm clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or other nearby combustible surfaces. (See Figure 4.14). 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 flue charts (Figure 4.2) located on pages 11-15.

11.8M MAXIMUM

Figure 4.20

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. Y ou may wish to relocate the gas stove, or to offset, as shown in

Figure 4.21 to avoid cutting load bearing members.

Note: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 1 1.8 m, Figure 4.2.

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk. Maintain ﬂ ue clearance to combustibles as

speciﬁ ed.

• Do not pack air space with insulation or other materials.

Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from ﬂ ue pipe may cause ﬁ re.

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).

CAP AND STORM COLLAR NOT SHOWN FOR CLARITY

Figure 4.23

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 3.3). 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 4.24). 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

obstructions, it is important to support the flue pipe every 914 mm to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose, Figure 4.10, 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 4.23. Verify that the chimney is the required height above the roof. See roof pitch table, Figure 3.3.

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 4.25). The opening should be framed to 254 mm x 254 mm inside dimensions, in the same manner as shown in Figure 4.22.

C. After Appliance is Lit

Initial Break-in Procedure

When you light the appliance, you may notice that it produces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation of the glass is normal.

CAUTION

• Prevent accidental appliance operation when not attended.

• Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if absent or if appliance will not be used for an extended period of time.

• Property damage possible from elevated temperatures.

NOTE: The appliance should be run three to four hours on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to cure the products used in the paint and logs.

During this break-in period it is recommended that some windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.

WARNING

Fire Risk. High Temperatures. Keep combustible household items away from

appliance. Do NOT obstruct combustion and ventilation air.

• Do NOT place combustible items on top of or in front of appliance.

• Keep furniture, draperies away from appliance.

CAUTION

Smoke and odors released during initial operation.

• Open windows for air circulation.

• Leave room during initial operation.

• Smoke may set off smoke detectors.

Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

WARNING

Fire Hazard. Keep combustible materials, gasoline and

other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance.

• Do NOT store ﬂ ammable materials in the appliance’s vicinity.

• Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter ﬂ uid or similar liquids in this appliance.

• Combustible materials may ignite.

D. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUE SOLUTIONS

Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the gas stove warms,

this condensation will disappear.

Blue ﬂ ames This is a result of normal operation and the ﬂ ames will begin to yellow as the gas stove

is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

Odor from gas stove When ﬁ rst operated, this gas stove 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.

Film on the glass 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 stove cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer. Ensure glass has cooled before cleaning.

Metallic noise 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 gas stove.

E. Warranty Policy

HEAT & GLO

LIMITED 10 YEAR WARRANTY

In order to presumptively establish the dates to which your HEAT & GLO Limited Warranty runs, you must mail the completed warranty card to HEAT & GLO, 20802 Kensington Boulevard, Lakeville, MN 55044, USA, within 60 days of the date of the stove installation. If you fail to do so, you may be required to prove the date of installation before warranty work can be performed.

The warranty exclusions and limitations of liability are effective upon installation of the stove. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, HEAT & GLO, a brand of Hearth & Home Technologies, Inc. (“HEAT &

GLO”) extends the following warranty with respect to HEAT & GLO. If HEA T & GLO is reasonably satisﬁ ed that any part or portion of the stove covered by this Limited Warranty is defec-

tive in material or workmanship under normal use and service as described in the User’s Manual, HEAT & GLO will take the following actions:

1. If the defect is reported during the ﬁ rst year from the date of installation (stainless steel burners and ﬁ ber logs are covered for 3 years), HEAT & GLO will replace or repair the defective components at its sole expense. The decision whether to replace a component shall be made at HEA T & GLO’s sole discretion. This Limited W arranty does not cover components broken during shipping, misuse or careless handling. HEAT & GLO shall not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages or for any costs other than those incurred by HEAT & GLO to repair or replace the defective component. If components (including venting) other than factory approved components are used, all warranty and liability on the stove is voided. Defects reported after the ﬁ rst year will not be covered by warranty unless they fall within the purview of paragraph 2 or 3 below.

2. If the following defects are reported during the second year after the date of installation, HEAT & GLO will supply replacement parts at the current wholesale price: defective electrical or manual components, optional components or accessories, and glass panels (not including glass panels broken during misuse or careless handling). HEAT & GLO shall not be responsible for any labor, transportation or other costs. Furthermore, it shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages.

3. HEA T & GLO will replace or repair a defective ﬁ rebox or heat exchanger , at any time during the 10 years from the date of installation. The decision whether to replace the defective component shall be made at HEAT & GLO’s sole discretion. HEA T & GLO shall not be responsible for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages or for any costs other than those incurred by HEAT & GLO to repair or replace the defective component.

This Limited Warranty is the exclusive remedy available to you. If HEA T & GLO cannot effectively resolve a warranty problem in an expedient and cost-effective manner , it can discharge its entire warranty liability by refunding the price of the product to you.

Products made by other manufacturers, whether sold with the stove or added thereafter, are NOT covered by this Limited Warranty. The use of other unauthorized components will make this warranty null and void. This Limited Warranty will also be void if the appliance is not installed by a qualiﬁ ed installer in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Furthermore, the Limited Warranty will be void if the stove is not operated, at all times, according to the User’s Manual furnished with the stove. Any service work must be performed by authorized service representatives.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LA W , NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED W ARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL APPLY TO THE FIREPLACE PRODUCT . In States that do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow exclusion of indirect damages, those limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have additional rights not covered in this Limited Warranty.

HEAT & GLO reserves the right to make changes at any time, without notice, in design, material, speciﬁ cations and prices. It also reserves the right to discontinue styles and products.
