USE OF COUPLERS – WITH FLEX PIPE

In the event of a puncture of the vent pipe or if an extension is needed couplers may be used on both the 4” and 7” flex vent. High temperature sealant shall be applied to the ends of the coupler and then the coupler shall then be inserted into the flex vent. For the 4” vent 3 #8 x ½” hex head sheet metal screws shall be used on each end of the joint to fasten the coupler to the venting. On the 7” vent a minimum of 4 #8 x ½” hex head sheet metal screws shall be used. See Figure 7.

Figure 7

USE OF SEALANT

Sealant is required on vent system joints. On longer vent runs, especially vertical runs, sealant will ensure that the combustion air enters from outdoors, and not through the vent joints. Use high temperature sealant, available from local suppliers, on the inner pipe joint, applying the sealant around the outside of the male part of the vent. A bead of silicone should be used on the outside of the joint after assembly to seal the supply air. If the venting is disconnected for servicing, be sure to follow above instructions for resealing venting when reconnecting to system.

“WARNING: A minimum clearance to combustibles must be maintained around the vent pipe of 1” on horizontal pipe runs and 1” on vertical pipe runs.

VENT RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION (continued)

The restrictors are installed by removing the 2 screws on the ceiling of the firebox, place the desired restrictor in place and using the screws to fasten the restrictor to the firebox. If you are installing a heater unit, you must first remove the firebox baffle (4 screws) before installing the desired restrictor. Return the firebox baffle after installing the restrictor. See Figure 9.

Figure 9

Page 33 of 80

Horizontal Wall Vent Terminations

The position of the horizontal vent termination must be positioned in such a way as to meet all local building codes. Attach the correct length of pipe. Mark the center line of the pipe facing the wall (allowing for a 1/4” rise per foot of horizontal, example 10 ft of horizontal would require a rise of 2.5”).

NOTE: ALLOWING THE VENT PIPE TO SLOPE DOWN TOWARDS THE VENT TERMINATION COULD CAUSE POOR COMBUSTION AND/OR HIGH TEMPERTURES THAT MAY PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD.

Mark a 9” x 9” square around the center mark (inside dimensions). Cut and frame the exterior wall to accept the wall thimble. Install the wall thimble, on the inside of the exterior wall, shield using wood screws.

Attach the venting to the termination using sheet metal screws, for Z-Flex installations a Inca Metal Cutting’s termination part # IMC1070A or IMC1070B shall be used and when using Simpson Dura-Vent or Security Venting a Simpson Dura-Vent termination part # P574 shall be used. If termination is to be installed on vinyl siding using vinyl siding standoff part # IMC1151.

To install the termination attach the 4” exhaust to the termination and fasten with 3 #8 x ½” hex head sheet metal screws then attach the 7” vent to the termination and fasten with 4 #8 x ½” hex head sheet metal screws, be sure that the flex vent overlaps the termination collars a minimum of 2”. Then attach the termination to the exterior wall using four wood screws through the holes in the corner of the vent terminal. The next step is to apply a bead of mil-pac or RTV 106 to top of the 4” exhaust collar on the unit and attach the 4” vent using screws (as described above), finally apply a bead of mil-pac or RTV 106 to top of the 7” vent and attach (as described above).

Vertical Installations

Always maintain a 1” clearance around the vent pipe (vertical) and 1” clearance horizontal, when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter or any combustible surfaces.

DO NOT PACK AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION.

When passing through a flat ceiling install a Box/Wall thimble. Cut a 9” square hole and frame as shown in the diagram opposite.

NOTE: ALWAYS CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODES BEFORE INSTALLING VENTING. CLE AR ANCES ETC, MAY VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (PROVINCE TO PROVINCE).

NOTE: CONSULT DURAVENT PARTS LIST OR INCA METAL CUTTING’S FIREPLACE MANUFACTURING PARTS LIST FOR PART NUMBERS.

See section 3.3.10 Venting for instructions on how to connect Security Venting or Simpson Dura-vent.

3.3.6 Door Installation Fit the top door slots over the brackets on each side of the top of the firebox, locate the two bottom

clasps and close. See Figure 12. Pull the top of the window forward and release. Make sure the door returns to it’s original position. This ensures that the door safety device is working properly.

Removal is reverse order. If the glass has been damaged or broken it is highly recommended that you contact a qualified

service person. Remove the broken pieces (be sure to wear gloves) and remove door. See the replacement parts list, at the end of the manual, you will require one 6 mm tempered glass panel (part # IMC1010). Next you will install the glass gasket (part # 6AL) around the perimeter of the glass panel, this gasket has an adhesive edge which is adhered to the glass while the rounded edge of the gasket is folded over the edge of the glass. Lay a thin bead of high temperature silicone (part # RTV106) around the inside perimeter of the door frame and with the rounded edge facing into the door place the glass panel back into the door frame. Then follow the instructions above to re-install the door.

Figure 12

Page 48 of 80

WARNING: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.”

 Only doors certified with the appliance shall be used.  Do not use substitute materials.  Do not abuse glass doors by striking or slamming shut.  Do not operate with broken glass.

3.3.7 INITIAL FIRING When lit for the first few times, the appliance may emit an odour resulting from evaporation of paint

and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Open a door or window for ventilation. Anyone with a respiratory condition may need to leave the room during the initial firings.

NOTE: It is normal for the appliance to expand and contract while it heats up or cools down

whether this is from a cold start or a steady-state condition where the fan has come on or off. Under these circumstances it is possible that the expansion/contraction of the metal parts may produce sounds.

Occasionally, after a cold start, vapor may condense and fog the glass, and the flames may be partially blue. After a few minutes the moisture will disappear and the flames will become yellow. Visually check the flame after warm-up (see flame pictures on page 31).

Figure 13

3.3.8 MANIFOLD PRESSURE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT

The manifold pressure regulator controls gas input and flame height, and is pre-adjusted at the factory. No further adjustment is required. Manifold pressure can be verified only (see Lighting Instructions).

PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT For proper operation, the pilot and main burner flames must be steady and not lifting off or floating.

The top 3/8” – 1/2” (10-13mm) of the thermopile should be engulfed by the pilot flame, see Figure 13.

Page 50 of 80

PRIMARY AIR ADJUSTMENT Aeration is factory set but may need adjustment for altitude or movement during shipping. To adjust

the air shutter loosen the screw on the bottom of the valve tray and slide the shutter bolt right or left to suit (see Figure 14). Sliding the lever to the right closes the air shutter making the flame taller and more colorful, sliding the lever to the left opens the air shutter this brings down the flame height and reduces flame color.

Caution: Parts requiring adjustment during operation may be hot. Note: Burner and bottom of firebox only shown for illustration purposes.

Factory Setting

Natural Gas – closed on E & H units

Propane Gas – closed on E unit, 50% on H unit

VENTING When Security Venting or Simpson Dura-Vent is to be used with the unit it will be necessary to install an adapter to allow the 6-5/8” venting to connect to the unit which is factory assembled for connection to 7” flex vent. The adapter (part# 0924N3) fits over the exhaust & air inlet collars on the top of the appliance and is fastened in place with sheet metal screws. See Figure 20.

Twist lock procedure: Four indentations, located on the female ends of pipes and fittings, are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipe and fittings. Orient the four pipe indentations so they match and slide into the four entry slots on the male ends (see Figure 22). Push the pipe sections completely together then twist lock one section clockwise approximately one quarter turn until the two sections are fully locked.

In vertical installations which use flex vent it is necessary to install an adapter (part # P574) at the end of the venting to allow connection to the Simpson Dura-Vent termination part # 0991 or Security Venting part# SV4CGV. The adapter fits into the flex vent and is secured in place using sheet metal screws. See Figure 21.

Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose. High temperature sealant is required on each joint, run a 1/8” bead of sealant around the male end of

the outer sleeve, as shown in Figure 22, and twist lock the pipes or fittings together.

APPENDIX B (CONVERSION KITS)

This kit will convert the fireplace to Natural Gas / Propane (as applicable). In order to convert this unit to an alternate gas the valve tray assembly must be replaced as 1 piece.

The IMC100 models are designed to burn either natural gas or propane. Each unit leaves the factory equipped for one specific fuel but it is simple to field convert the unit to an alternate fuel. The original type of fuel is marked on the ratings label (see pages 50 & 56) of the manual.

“WARNING” This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the kit.

This kit is for use with models Tasman ET & Tasman HT.

Conversion Kit Contents

This conversion kit contains the following parts:

1) Valve tray part numbers: IMC1040EN (for natural gas E-rated units)

IMC1040ELP (for propane E-rated units) IMC1040HN (for natural gas H-rated units) IMC1040HLP (for propane H-rated units)

2) Conversion Kit labels

Page 74 of 80

The proper steps for converting the appliance are as follows:

1) Caution the gas supply shall be shut off prior to disconnecting the electrical power, before proceeding with the conversion.

2) Remove the door, ceramic logs, log tray and burner (see page 43 in the manual).

3) Remove the valve tray (see pages 43 in the manual).

4) Replace with desired valve tray (installation is the reverse of removal).

5) Verify the input of the converted appliance by checking the orifice size with the size specified on the ratings labels found on pages 50 & 56 of the manual.

6) Replace burner, log tray, ceramic logs and door.

7) Leak test the appliance, with a soapy water solution, prior to placing the unit into operation.

8) Light appliance. See the Lighting Instructions, page 7, of the manual to verify normal operating sequence of the ignition system.

9) Check that the manifold pressure is correct, see pages 3 or 52 of the manual.

10) Check that the minimum and maximum inlet gas pressures are correct, see pages 3 or 52 of the manual.

See pages 30, 33 & 55 of the manual for proper pilot and burner flame pictorials. Fill out and attach the fuel conversion label provided in the kit then apply label over top of existing

ratings label. All valves have been pre-set and certified for installation at elevations from 0 – 2000 feet (1 – 608 m)

above sea level. When installing this unit at higher elevations, it is necessary to decrease the input rating by replacing

the existing burner orifice with a smaller size for installations over 2000 feet (608 m). The appliances input should be reduced 4% for each additional 1000 feet (305 m) above sea level. For the USA, derate the unit from sea level according to the gas installation code.

APPENDIX C (Continued)

Special Features on the AF-4000 Module

The AF-4000 Module can be powered two different ways. The first is a standard 110 volt AC to 6.0 volt DC adaptor. This adapter is connected to the AF-4000 Module by connecting the two 1/4” female terminals from the adapter to the two 1/4” male terminals, located on the AF-4000 Module , marked POWER. The second method of powering the appliance is by using the AF-4000 BP battery pack.

The appliance will not have back up power, during power outages, if only the 6.0 volt adapter is used however a battery back up package, AF-4000BBU, is available to be used in this situation.

The AF-4000 module has 2 special features built into the system.

1. Continuous Pilot Feature - This feature allows the user to change from a spark to pilot system to a standing pilot system, for direct vent appliances during cold climate, to keep the firebox warm. a) There is a switch located on the side of the AF-4000 module that reads “Continuous Pilot ON/OFF”, this switch will allow the user to select the pilot mode of operation. b) When the Continuous Pilot switch is in the OFF position and the appliance ON/OFF switch is turned to ON the pilot will spark and light. When the appliance ON/OFF switch is turned OFF the pilot will shut off when the main burner shuts off. c) When the Continuous Pilot switch is in the ON position and the appliance ON/OFF switch is turned on the pilot will spark and light. When the appliance ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF the pilot will stay ON when the main burner shuts off. This setting is generally used in cold climates to keep the firebox warm. d) The Continuous Pilot mode can also be activated by an optional hand held remote control.

2. Remote Control Feature - The AF-4000 module has a built in remote control receiver. This allows the user to program a hand held remote transmitter, wireless wall mount thermostat or wireless wall mount switch to the appliance at any time during or after the installation of the appliance. a) There is a switch located on the side of the AF-4000 module that reads REMOTE/OFF. b) When the Remote/Off switch is in the OFF position the appliance will operate from an appliance mounted rocker switch or wall switch connected to the (2) brown wires on the AF-4000 module. c) When the Remote/Off switch is in the REMOTE position the appliance will operate from the (optional) Remote Control transmitter, wireless wall mounted thermostat or wireless wall mounted switch.

NOTE: The AF-4000 module must be programmed to the (optional) Remote Control transmitter, wireless wall mounted thermostat or wireless wall mounted switch.

a) To program the AF-4000 locate the LEARN button on the AF-4000 module. Press and release the LEARN button, the AF-4000 module will beep then press any key on the Remote Control. Once the AF-4000 internal receiver accepts the transmitter code there will be a series of confirming beeps. b) The Remote system is now ready for use.
