Safety Information
Installation
Due to the high operating temperatures this
appliance should be located out of traffic and
away from furniture, draperies, etc. Maintain
proper clearance to combustible mantels and
fireplace trim.
Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazards of high surface temperatures and should
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Young children should be supervised while they
are in the same room as the Acadia gas fireplace.
Surveiller les enfants. Garder les vetements, les
meubles, l’essence ou autres liquides a vapeur
inflammables loin de l’appareil.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not
be placed ON or NEAR the Acadia gas fireplace.
Never allow any to use the fireplace if they are
unfamiliar with its operation.
NEVER store or use gasoline or any other flam-
mable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the
Acadia gas fireplace.
Never burn any solid materials (wood, cardboard,
paper, coal, etc.) in this gas fireplace. Use with
natural gas or propane fuel ONLY.
Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for
servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to
operating the appliance.
Do not slam or strike the glass panel.
Were gloves and safety glases while performing
maintenance procedures.
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.
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 (#154967)
will be used, be sure to include provision for a
properly grounded, 120 volt house current outlet at
the fireplace structure.
Electrical Hazard
Be aware of electrical wiring locations when
cutting holes in walls and ceilings for termination.
The optional Acadia Blower (154960) must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
current ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code or
CSA C22.1-Canadian Electrical Code.
The Acadia Blower is supplied with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO
NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG
FROM THE PLUG.
Always disconect the power supply when per-
forming routine service on the fireplace.
6
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 in order for the fireplace
Controls Door to open properly.
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.
