PRE-INSTALLATION QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
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.
• Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at different rates resulting in
“cracking” and “ticking” sounds throughout the heating and cooling periods.
• You should also be aware that as temperatures change within the unit these sounds will likely reoccur. Again this is normal for steel fireboxes, and is not a defect.
Cleaning the Glass
During the first few fires, a white film may develop on the glass front, as part of the curing process. The
glass should be cleaned after the unit has cooled down or the film can bake on and become very difficult
to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and do not attempt to clean the glass while it is hot.

Framing
(The following method assumes that framing is in place before the unit is installed.)
Using 2x4’s, frame to local building codes. DO NOT install against a Vapor Barrier or Exposed Insulation.
Framing measurements have been adjusted to accommodate a ½” thick finished wall. Combustible materials may be installed flush with
the top and sides of the installed CVCK Kits.(See Page 10, “Framing and Facing Requirements.)
It is not necessary to install a hearth with this fireplace system. Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 24”
away from the front face.
Gas line installation should be performed only after fireplace installation. Fireplace bottom supplies you with two 6” x 8” rectangular
holes. The use of these holes depends on valve and fireplace location on riser or upper floor.
Fireplace Assembly
1. Mount Door Cover. First apply a bead of High Heat Silicone to door seal. Mount Door Cover and screw into place, making
sure that door is properly sealed.
2. Hang Heat Shield on top edge of fireplace; secure with self-tapping screws. Heat Shield must be centered, allowing a
½” clearance both sides of fireplace.
3. Top Door Shield should be installed on both sides of unit when the doors are installed.
4. Place unit inside framing and center. You are now ready to install CVCK Kits onto unit (See page 11).Gas line and
electrical connections (blower fan, etc.) should be performed at this time.
5. Once the unit (with CVCK Kits) is installed into Framing, Facing Material may be installed (See page 10).

MDV31 - How to Install Clean View Kit (Z36 CVCK)
Caution: When using CVCK do not install Louver Assembly.
1. Install optional Fan Kit (See Fan instructions).
2. Fold the tall 8” standoffs up into position and mount them with the supplied screws.
3. Bend the center tab on the four [4] Nailing Tabs 90° as shown below. These tabs are the standoffs for the side Framing.
4. Place CVCK inside Fireplace door opening and, using the four [4] supplied #6 screws, fasten the CVCK to the inside
posts of the appliance.
5. Using ten [10] DT screws, install the Top Heat Shield to the upper inside portion of the CVCK. A side cut-view is
provided to illustrate how the shield is installed. It is recommended that the Leading Edge Screws be installed before the
side screws.
6. Position the appliance inside the Framing and secure it using the nailing tabs on the CVCK. Ensure that the Framing
does not exceed the standoffs bent in Step 2. Furthermore, it is recommended that the fireplace be fastened to the floor
with 4 screws as well.
7. Once the CVCK Kit is on the fireplace, remove the top door screws, place the Top Door Shield on top of the door, &
replace screws through the Top Door Shield & door .
8. The CVCK Kit is supplied with two [2] valve extension knobs. Align the notches and slide the extensions onto the valve
knobs.
9. DO NOT brick or tile beyond the inside area of the CVCK Kit to allow for removal of the door and ventilation.
