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 paint, adhesives, silicones and any
undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used with the installation (e.g. marble, tile
and the adhesives used to adhere these products 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 the Curing of Paint
Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint .This paint dries quickly (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 (such as Windex or a commercial fireplace glass
cleaner) to prevent build-up.
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.

Mobile Home/Manufactured Housing Installation
This Direct Vent System Appliance must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the current Standard for Fire Safety
Criteria for Manufactured Home Installations, Sites, and Communities ANSI/NFPA 501A, and with CAN/CSA Z240 MH
Mobile Home Standard in Canada.
Figure 1 - Mobile Home Installation.
THE MQRB5143N AND MQRB5143LP MAY BE INSTALLED IN MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOMES AFTER FIRST
SALE IN THE USA. IN CANADA THE MQRB5143N AND MQRB5143LP MAY BE INSTALLED IN MANUFACTURED
(MOBILE) HOMES.
Please follow the current ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code in the USA and CAN/CSA C22.1 Canadian National
Electrical Code in Canada.
An appliance must be grounded to the steel chassis of the home with 8ga copper wire using a serrated or star washer to
penetrate paint or protective coating to insure grounding.
Use carriage bolt at the attachment point (see diagram above) to secure the appliance to the floor.
Warning: Do not compromise the structural integrity of the manufactured home
wall floor or ceiling during installation of appliance or venting.
For required venting components see venting installation in appropriate section of this manual.
Certified for installation in a bedroom or bedsitting room. In Canada must be installed
with listed millivolt thermostat. In USA see local codes.

Installation and Operation
Installation Regulations
This gas appliance must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with local building codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the current CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 Installation Code (in Canada) or the current National Fuel Gas Code
Z223.1 when installed in the United States.
This appliance, when installed, must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code or with the national Electrical Code;
ANSI/NFPA 70-1987 when installed in the United States.
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.
For Safe Installation and Operation of Your Gas Fireplace Please Note The Following:
1. This appliance gives off high temperatures and should be located out of heavy traffic areas and away from furniture
and draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the high surface temperatures of this appliance and should
stay away to avoid burns or ignition of clothing.
3. Children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as your fireplace appliance.
NOTE: It is recommended that a Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector be installed in or near bedrooms and on
all levels of your home. Place a detector about 15ft [4.5m] outside the room that houses your gas appliance.
Warning: When purging the gas line, the glass front must be removed.
4. Never use your gas fireplace as a cooking device.
5. The Burner/Log Assembly has been engineered and permanently adjusted for proper flame control.
Do not alter the gas orifice.
6. Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified. Any parts that have to be removed for servicing should
be replaced prior to operating this appliance.
7. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
8. Control compartments, burners and air passages in this appliance should be kept clean and free of dust and lint.
Make sure that the gas valve and pilot light are turned off before you attempt to clean this unit.
9. The venting system (chimney) of this appliance should be inspected at least once a year and if needed, your
