Warning

This is an unvented gas-ﬁred heater. It uses air (oxygen) from the

room in which installed. Provisions for adequate combustion and

ventilation must be provided. Refer to Page 11.

This appliance must be installed by a licensed plumber or

gas ﬁtter in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and meet

the requirements of 527 CMR 30 and 248 CMR.

Why does my ﬁreplace or stove give off odour?

It is normal for your ﬁreplace to give off some odour. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives, silicones and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the ﬁnishing materials used with the installations (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can react with heat and cause odours).

It is recommended that you burn your gas ﬁreplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with the fan off after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours of burn time, keep burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odours dissipate.

About curing of the paint

Your stove or ﬁreplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries quickly in 15-20 minutes when ﬁrst applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone components, the paint will cure when heat is applied to the appliance as it is ﬁrst used. The following information applies to the curing process to get the paint fully hard and durable.

Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each ﬁring and a 5 minute cool down between each. Be aware during log and ﬁrebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside of the glass doors. It is important to remove this white deposit from the glass doors with an appropriate cleaner to prevent build-up (such as Windex or a commercial ﬁreplace glass cleaner).

• Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.

• Ventilate well, open doors and windows.

• Do not touch during curing.

Noise coming from the ﬁreplace?

• Noise 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 your ﬁreplace.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Today’s homes are built more energy efﬁcient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efﬁcient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, ﬁreboxes, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air form the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation:

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classiﬁcations:

1. Unusually Tight Construction 2. Unconﬁned Space 3. Conﬁned Space.

The information on pages 9 through 11 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in building of usually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is deﬁned as construction where: a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one

perm (6 x 10-11 per pasec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b. weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and

ﬂoors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 11.

Conﬁned and Unconﬁned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ223.1, 1992 Section 5.3) deﬁnes a conﬁned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconﬁned space.

*Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING AIR FLOW FOR FIREBOX LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Conﬁned or Unconﬁned Space

Use the work sheet on the next page to determine if you have a conﬁned or unconﬁned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install ﬁrebox plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

WARNING

This ﬁrebox shall not be installed in a conﬁned space unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Cont.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).

Length x Width x Height = ______________ cu. ft. (volume of space)

Example: Space size 22ft. (length) x 18 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total

volume of the space.

2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

______________ (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 63.3 or 63,300 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

Vent-free ﬁrebox __________________ Btu/Hr

Gas water heater* __________________ Btu/Hr

Gas furnace __________________ Btu/Hr

Vented gas heater __________________ Btu/Hr

Gas ﬁrebox logs __________________ Btu/Hr

Other gas appliances* + __________________ Btu/Hr

Total = __________________ Btu/Hr

Example: Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr

Vent-free ﬁrebox with log heater +

39,000 Btu/Hr

Total = 79,000Btu/Hr

* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the

outdoors.

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.

__________________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)

__________________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)

Example: 63,300 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)

79,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)

The space in the above example is a conﬁned space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the

space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are a follows:

A. Rework work sheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides and unconﬁned space, remove

door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms, See Ventilation Air from Inside Building, page 10.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See ventilation Air

from Outdoors, page 11.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr ﬁrebox, if lower Btu/Hr size

makes room unconﬁned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr

the space can support, the space is an unconﬁned ﬁned

space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING

If the area in which the ﬁrebox and gas log heater may be operated is smaller than that deﬁned as an unconﬁned space, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, 1992, Section 5.3.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Cont.

VENTILATION AIR FROM INSIDE BUILDING

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconﬁned space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconﬁned space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12” of the ﬂoor on the wall connecting the two spaces. You can also remove door into adjoining room. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA

54/ANSIZ223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation for required size

of ventilation grills or ducts.

FIGURE 5 - Ventilation Air from Inside Building

WARNING

Rework worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining unconﬁned space. The combined spaces must have enough fresh air to supply all appliances in both spaces.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Cont.

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12” of the ﬂoor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

FIGURE 6 - Ventilation Air from Outdoors

Vertical Venting in Cold Climates

In cold climate conditions where temperatures go below -10 degrees Celsius or 14 degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend that the chase be insulated and where the vent pipe enters into the attic space that the pipe be wrapped with an insulated mylar sleeve. This will increase the temperature of the vent and help the appliance to vent properly in cold weather conditions.

It is also important in vertical vented direct vent appliances that the appliance be operated daily during the winter months as this will help stop the Termination from freezing up. We recommend using a thermostat set at room temperature to allow the unit to cycle.

INSTALLING – Clearances

IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneﬁcial, installing ﬁrebox in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 8 through 11.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the ﬁrebox is level. If ﬁrebox is not level, log set will not work properly.

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

Carefully follow the instructions below. This will ensure safe installation.

Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances

A. Clearances from the ﬁrebox to adjacent wall should

not be less than 6 inches.

B. Clearance from the back of the stove to the

rear wall should not be less than 3 inches.

C. Clearance from the side of unit in corner (45 degree

installation) is 3” inches.

D. Clearance from top of stove is 41 inches.

NOTICE

A qualiﬁed service person must install ﬁrebox. Follow all local codes.

WARNING

Never install the ﬁrebox

• in a bedroom or bathroom

• in a recreational vehicle

• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other ﬂammable objects are less than 36 inches from the front, top, or sides of the ﬁrebox

• in high trafﬁc areas

• in windy or drafty areas

WARNING

Maintain the minimum clearances. If you can, provide greater clearances from ﬂoor, ceiling, and adjoining wall.

WARNING

FIGURE 7 – Minimum Clearances - Top and Sides of Room Heater to Ceiling and Walls.

INSTALLING

CAUTION

Log heaters installed in this ﬁrebox create warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to ﬁrebox. Installing ﬁrebox next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating ﬁrebox where impurities in the air (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolor walls.

WARNING

Never modify or cover the louvered slots on the front of the ﬁrebox.

NOTICE

A qualiﬁed service person must install ﬁrebox. Follow all local codes.

NOTICE

Installation and repair should be done by a qualiﬁed service person well trained in the installation of such appliances. You will also need a building permit from your local Building Commissioner before installing this appliance, otherwise your insurance company may not cover this appliance.

DANGER

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

MAY LEAD TO DEATH!

WARNING

Any changes to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.

CAUTION

Use new black pipe only. Internally tinned copper tubing can be used in some areas when permitted by local codes. Only use pipe of 1/2” or greater diameter to allow full gas volume to heater. Excessive pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small.

A manual shutoff valve, union and plugged

⁄8” NPT pressure tap pointer must be installed upstream of the heater.

A sediment trap must be installed upstream of the heater to prevent moisture and contaminants from passing through the pipe to the heater controls and burners. Failure to do so could prevent the heater from operating reliably.

INSTALLING – Gas Line

INSTALLING GAS LINE

Do not connect appliance before pressure testing gas piping. Damage to gas valve may result and an unsafe condition may be caused.

Prepare incoming black iron gas line with Teﬂon tape or pipe joint compound (check with local codes about the use of

Teﬂon tape). Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of Liqueﬁed Petroleum (LP or Propane) and should be applied lightly to ensure excess sealant does not enter the gas line.

Complete your gas installation by connecting incoming gas line to regulator. Secure all joints tightly with wrench but do not over-tighten. If a ﬂexible gas line is used, take care not to kink connector. The burner pressure is controlled by the regulator. Check pressure at the pressure test point, which is located on the side of the gas control near the pilot outlet. Make sure that the pressure tap is completely closed after checking gas pressure. The pressure should be checked with the appliance burning and the control set on high.

IMPORTANT: Loosen the pipe adapter on the ﬂex tube before installing to the system piping.

CHECK GAS TYPE: The gas supply must be the same as stated on the heater’s rating plate. If the gas supply is different, Do Not Install the heater. Contact your dealer for the correct model.

For the state of Massachusetts a T-handle gas shut-off valve must be used on a gas appliance. This T-handle gas shut- off valve must be listed and approved by the state of Massachusetts. This is in reference to the state of Massachusetts state code CMR238.

CAUTION

All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation is completed. To test, turn gas valve on, then apply a soap and water solution to all connections and joints. If bubbles appear, leak can be detected and corrected. Never use an open ﬂame for leak testing.

Never operate any appliance if a leak is detected!

CAUTION

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

FVF300 Burner System Installation

1. If installed, remove the top grill plates, the top casting, and front casting by simply lifting upwards.

2. Remove front control panel from the base of the stove by loosening the two screws on either side of the control panel and remove the four hex screws located on the front face of the control panel.

3. Remove the two hex screws from the back edge of the false bottom and then remove the false bottom from the stove. False bottom may need to be rotated slightly for removal.

4. Place the burner assembly into the stove by slightly rotating it towards yourself. Be careful not to disturb any of the pilot or valve tubing. Secure the burner to the stove using the four hex screws that are supplied. There is one hole on each side and two along the back.

5. Use the two hex screws removed in Step 3 and re-install false bottom to its original position.

6. After the burner assembly and false bottom are secure, it is recommended to install the gas line (see gas line instructions in manual).

7. Once the gas line is connected, the piezo wire can be attached. This is done by locating the single wire lead from the pilot system and attaching it to the piezo ignitor. For the on/off switch, locate the two wires leading down the back corner of the unit. Route the two on/off switch wires through the right side panel grommet. Connect one wire to the TP terminal on the valve and the other to the TPTH terminal (see installation manual for more info). Please note, if fan kit option has been purchased see fan kit installation instructions at this time to install the fan kit. Once all wiring is connected, line up control panel and install using the four hex screws that you removed in Step 2. Secure in place.

8. Install the extension knobs by matching the symbol on the knobs to the corresponding one on the valve (on/off goes on on/off knob on valve).
