Requirements

The GZ 550 DV Acadia Gas Fireplace and its vent system must be installed within a totally enclosed structure. The fireplace must be connected to the specified vent and termination cap outside the building. Do not vent into another room or inside any part of a building. Under no circumstances may

the flow of combustion or ventilation air be obstructed.

The approved vent configurations described herein are derived from extensive testing under controlled laboratory conditions. Gas appliance performance can be negatively affected by variables present in the installation environment, i.e: strong prevailing winds, steep roofs, nearby trees, snow accumulation, etc. These conditions should be taken into consideration by the installer and home owner. In such instances, system performance can often be improved by an increase in the vent height or installation of a high wind termination cap.

Placement and Framing

The combustible framing members of the fireplace enclosure may be placed in direct contact with the fireplace cabinet as specified in the illustrations on the following pages. Use the standoffs integrated into the sides and top of the front opening to locate a combustible header and side framing members as shown in the illustrations. See fig. 1.

Electrical Power: If the optional Blower (#155630) will be used, be sure to include provision for a properly grounded, 120 volt house current outlet at the fireplace structure.

Parallel Installation

Although it is possible to place combustible framing members in direct contact with the rear surface of the cabinet, the fireplace must be located forward

of the back wall with adequate clearance to accommodate the vent adaptor and subsequent lengths of vent pipe. Consideration must also be given to

maintaining a minimum 1 inch (25 mm) clearance between a vertical vent pipe and any combustible materials to the rear of the unit. See Figs. 2, 3, and 4.

Corner Installation

A corner installation will require that the Vent Adaptor be installed in a top exit position. Horizontal terminations will then require use of a 90° elbow. Figs. 5 and 5a show rear termination with 5/8 Simpson Dura-Vent Wall Thimble #1247.

Hearth Protection

The GZ550 Acadia is approved for installation without hearth protection. Combustible materials may be used on the floor directly under and in front of the fireplace. NOTE: The floor surface under the

unit must be level with, or higher than, the surface in front of the unit to allow the fireplace Controls Door to fully open.

Facing and Clearance Requirements

The following clearance and hearth specifications are the minimum requirements for the GZ550 Acadia gas fireplace. Measure clearances from the steel fireplace cabinet - not the cast iron surround panels. See Figures 6 - 8.

A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include materials that are behind non-combustibles.

If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material, consult your local fire officials. “Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. “Firerated” sheet rock is also considered combustible.

Maintain the proper clearances to the appliance to allow adequate flow of ventilation air around the fireplace.

Variable Vent Restriction

Vent restriction is accomplished by sliding a restrictor panel over the combustion air intake ports located at the back of the firebox. See Fig 19. The panel is set in a fully open position at the factory. Use the Vent Window diagrams in Figs. 12-13 as a starting point to determine the best restriction setting. Follow these steps to adjust the restriction as necessary:

1. Remove the Controls Panel to access the adjustment lever at the rear of the valve compatment. Simply loosen the two wingnuts that secure the panel to the cabinet floor and pull the panel forward. You do not need to disconnect any wires.

2. Locate the vent restriction wingnut protruding from the firebox floor at the rear of the valve compartment. Loosen the wingnut and push the lever to the left to increase restriction in one inch increments, e.g: 1 inch travel = 1/3 closed position.

The ideal restrictor setting for a particular vent system will vary depending on the specific installation characteristics. Once the fireplace is operating, further restrictor adjustment may be necessary to obtain the best performance. See the Operation chapter of this manual for more information.

Connect the Gas Supply

Gas Supply Requirements

ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR CAN-B149.

Shutoff Valve

All codes require a gas shutoff valve (gas cock) and union to be installed in the supply line and in the same room as the appliance. This allows for the disconnection of the fireplace for servicing and maintenance. See fig. 25.

A T-handle gas shutoff valve is required in Massachusetts in compliance with Code 248CMR.

The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures lower than 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply by closing the manual shutoff valve.

Leak test:

• Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.

• Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page 23 of this manual or on the fireplace’s rating plate.

• Brush or spray all joints and connections with the soapy water solution.

• If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a gas odor is detected, immediately turn gas control knob to the OFF position.

Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest

for any gas leaks.

Control Valve Connection

The gas supply line connection is made to the left side of the valve. The gas supply line should be a minimum 3/8" diameter, or the appropriate size to provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless of the input setting.

The use of flexible gas appliance connectors is acceptable in many areas in the U.S. In Canada, methods vary depending on local code. If local codes permit, use flexible gas line for ease of installation and service. For those locales where flexible gas lines are not permitted, use the 3/8” iron fitting to make the connection at the left side of the Control Valve. See Figures 25 and 26.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (for propane units, be sure to use compounds that are propane resistant). Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water solution. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

Figure 25. Gas supply line fittings.

Gas Pressure

Proper gas pressure provides a consistent flow of gas to the appliance and is instrumental in checking for gas leaks. The gas control valve on the fireplace is equipped with pressure test points for gauge connections. The gauge connections are located on the front of the valve under the On/Off/ Pilot knob. Gauge connections are identified by:

• IN/E for inlet or supply pressure (the amount of

gas coming to the valve.)

•OUT/A for manifold pressure (the amount of gas

that is coming out of the valve to the burner.)

Figure 26. Pressure test point as located on the front of the valve.

Page 15

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply line by closing its individual manual gas shutoff valve (gas cock) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that is equal to or less than pressures of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Inlet Pressure

Natural Gas: 5.0 WC (1.24 kPa) 11.0 WC (2.74 kPa) Propane: 12.0 WC (2.98 kPa) 14.9 WC (3.71kPa)

MIN MAX Natural Gas: 1.2 WC (.29 kPa) 3.8 WC (.94 kPa) Propane: 2.9 WC (.72 kPa) 11.0 WC (2.74 kPa)

ALWAYS TEST PRESSURE WITH VALVE CONTROL KNOB SET ON HIGH. Symptoms of incorrect gas pressure

include:

Insufficient gas pressure:

• Small pilot flame which can result in insufficient

millivolts.

• Little variation in flame picture between HI and

LO settings.

• Insufficient gas to support more than one appli-

ance causing nuisance outages or gas surges.

Excessive gas pressure:

• Permanent damage to valve causing complete

appliance shut down.

• Too large a pilot flame resulting in overheating of

the power generator and consequent shut down.

• Sooting due to impingement and/or incorrect fuel

to air mix.

DANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL CODES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. THE INFORMATION STICKER MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE INSTALLER AND APPLIED TO THE APPLIANCE AT THE TIME OF THE CONVERSION. THE QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY PERFORMING THIS WORK ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DERATING.

In Canada: This unit has been tested for installation at high altitudes in accordance with Canadian test standard CAN/CGA-2.17. THE DERATING SHALL BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CAN1-B-149.1 AND .2 INSTALLATION CODE.

Derating Procedure

1. Follow Steps 1-4 of the Fuel Conversion procedure outlined on page 14.

2. Remove the original orifice. Consult Table 1 to determine the correct orifice size for your elevation and fuel type. Install the appropriate orifice included in the high altitude kit.

3. Fill out the high altitude conversion label and attach to the rating plate or fireplace cabinet floor See Figure 27.

4. Reassemble the firebox components.

5. It may be necessary to adjust the air shutter on the burner tube. See the AIR SHUTTER/FLAME APPEARANCE section of this manual for more details.

High Altitude Adjustment

Installations located at altitudes from 2000 - 4500 ft. (610 M - 1370 M), require compensation for the thinner air (less volume of air per cubic foot). Higher altitudes affect the atmospheric pressure and heat value of gaseous fuels. The lower oxygen content in the air and the lower gas viscosity require the use of a different orifice to achieve efficient, clean combustion at the burner tube.

For high altitude installations consult the local gas distributor or the authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods. If the installer must convert the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, use Jøtul High Altitude Kit (#155610-NG / #155611-LP).

In the U.S: THE DERATING KIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCOR-

System Check

1. PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the

appliance for the first time it will take a few moments to clear the gas line of air. Once this purge is complete, the appliance will operate as described in the lighting instructions located on the fireplace’s rating plate and back cover of this manual.

2. PILOT FLAME: The pilot flame should be steady,

not lifting or floating. The flame should be blue in color around the pilot hood, with traces of yellow toward the outer edges. It is imperative that the pilot flame engulf the top 3/8” of the thermopile (power generator) and the top 1/8” of the quick drop out thermocouple. The pilot flame should project out of the pilot hood 1” at all three ports. See Figure 48.

3. BURNER ADJUSTMENT: Your Jøtul GZ550 Acadia

gas fireplace is equipped with a variable gas control valve. This valve provides easy adjustment of the flame height appearance and heat output. To adjust the flame between the HI and LO setting, rotate the HI/LO knob, located in the center of the valve face. Flame height will adjust approximately 1.0” to 1.5” between the HI and LO settings.

NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECK LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS DETECTED. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIR SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.

Flame Appearance / Air Shutter Adjustment

THE ACADIA GAS FIREPLACE IS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY EQUIPPED TO USE NATURAL GAS. IF THE BURNER HAS BEEN CONVERTED FOR USE WITH PROPANE, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE AIR SHUTTER ON THE BURNER TUBE TO ACHIEVE THE PROPER GAS TO AIR MIX. See Figure 26.

WARNING:

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY

BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFES-

SIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

The air shutter adjustment can also help achieve the desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of individual preference, however a warm yellowish flame is most common. See fig. 49.

Closing the air shutter - will generate very long

yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting produces black deposits on the logs, on the inside walls of the appliance, and potentially on the exterior termination cap.

Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening.

Opening the air shutter - will generate a flame that is

blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame. This flame is generally more efficient but not as pretty.

CAUTION:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE FLAME APPEARANCE BY POSITIONING THE GAS VALVE IN ANY OTHER POSITION OTHER THAN THE FULL “ON” POSITION.

Air Shutter Adjustment

1. Open the Lower Grill panel and locate the Air Shutter adjustment stem extending down from the right side of the firebox floor. See figs. 49.

2. Loosen the locknut and push the stem BACK (to the rear of the firebox) to open the air inlet increasing airflow into the burner. Push the stem FORWARD to decrease the air inlet. Make adjustments in 1/8” (3 mm) increments and allow time for flame pattern to respond to the new setting. Retighten the locknut when the desired flame pattern is established.

3. Reassemble the fireplace including glass assembly. Allow the fireplace to burn 15 -20 minutes on the HIGH setting, observing the flame continuously.

4. If the flame appears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat the process described above until the flame is as desired.

Air Inlet Settings

Natural Gas - 1/4” open

Propane - 1/2” open IMPORTANT: Run the fireplace for a minimum

of 15 to 20 minutes to produce an accurate representation of the flame appearance. This warm-up should be done before and between any air shutter adjustment.

Operation

1. Your Acadia gas fireplace can be operated manu-

ally using the On/Off/T-stat rocker switch or it can be automatically controlled using an optional wall-mounted thermostat and/or remote control device. A separate switch is provided for the optional forced air blower kit.

Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the controls. See Figs. 51 and 52.

Gas Control - Used to control the Pilot light and gas flow from the supply line.

Regulator - Allows you to adjust heat output and flame intensity.

Piezo Ignitor - Push button pilot light ignition. ON/OFF/ T’STAT Switch - Allows for manual or

thermostatic control of the burner.

Always follow the Lighting Instructions located on the inside Back Cover of this manual.

2. For the first several hours of operation, it is

common that you will detect some odor as the metal and manufacturing materials cure under heat. This condition is temporary and can be alleviated by allowing plenty of fresh air to circulate through the area.

3. Condensation may develop on the glass upon

each lighting of the appliance. This “fog” will disappear as the glass heats.

4. Keep the controls and the area under the appli-

ance free of debris; vacuum this area frequently. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.

When a vacuum is used on any service for the fireplace, ALWAYS be sure the fireplace is completely cold.

5. Remember, your fireplace utilizes a continuously

burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using household products containing combustible vapors.

6. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS REMOVED, CRACKED OR BROKEN. REPLACEMENT OF THE GLASS SHOULD BE DONE BY A LICENSED OR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT GLASS PROVIDED BY YOUR AUTHORIZED JØTUL DEALER. NEVER USE ANY SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.
