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 using a 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.

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 (if a fan
is present) 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.

Noise coming from the fireplace?

Noise is caused by the expansion and contraction of metal as the appliance heats up and cools down. This is normal and
is similar to the sounds produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of
your fireplace.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

7

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

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.

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.

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 from the house to operate. You must
provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will
insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

The information on pages 14 through 16 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.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1, 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.

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

8

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.

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

from Outdoors.

WARNING

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.

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/ANSI
Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and 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.

9

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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property

damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When

lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B Smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next

to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on
the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

 Do not try to light an appliance.
 Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your

building.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Stop! Read the safety information above this label.

2. Set the thermostat to lowest setting.

3. Turn off all electrical power to the appliance.

4. Locate valve under the burner assembly.

5. If the control knob is not already in the off position, i.e. the word

“OFF” in the 9 o’clock position, then push in the gas control knob
slightly and turn  clockwise to “OFF”. NOTE: Knob cannot be
turned from “PILOT” to “OFF” unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do
not use force.

6. Wait five [5] minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell gas.

STOP! Follow “B” in the safety information above on this label. If
you don’t smell gas then go to the next step.

7. Now push in the control knob slightly and turn  counter-clockwise

to the “PILOT” position.

8. Push in the control knob all the way and hold it. With the other
hand push in the red igniter button until you hear a click. Now
observe closely the pilot burner located on the rear center-left
hand side of the main burner.

TO TURN OFF THE APPLIANCE

1. Set the thermostat to lowest setting.

2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be

performed.

3. Open the control access door.

NOTE: Only one on/off device (manual on/off, remote control, or hard wired thermostat) should be connected to the
appliance at any one time, this is most important when installing an insert or stove as the on/off rocker switch is installed at
the factory.

BEFORE LIGHTING

 Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour’s phone. Follow the

gas supplier’s instructions.
 If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C Use only your hand to push or turn the gas control knob. Never use

tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it.

Call a qualified technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire

or explosion.
D Do not use the appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately

call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to

replace any part of the control system which has been under water.

If a flame has appeared then continue to depress the control knob for 20
seconds. If the flame did not appear then continue to depress the red
igniter button every 5 seconds until a flame is established. NOTE: If
after 30 seconds a flame has not yet been established then turn the
control knob back to the off position and repeat steps 5, 6 & 7.

9. Once the pilot has been established hold the control knob in the

depressed position for approximately 25 seconds before releasing. If

the flame goes out then repeat steps 7 and 8.

 If the knob does not pop up when released, stop and immediately call
your service technician or gas supplier.

 If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control to
“OFF” and call your service technician.

10. Now turn the control knob to the “ON” position. The burner will not light

unless the wall switch thermostat or remote control is turned “ON” or in

the case of the thermostat there is a call for heat.

11. Close the access door and turn all electrical power back to the

appliance.

12. The pilot must be turned off when the unit is not in use.

4. Push in the gas control knob slightly and turn  clockwise to the “OFF”

position. Do not force.

5. Replace control access panel.
