Pre-installation Questions and Answers

Operations and Maintenance Instructions

 Be sure to read and understand all the instructions in this manual before operation of appliance.
 Ensure all wiring is correct and properly enclosed to prevent possible shock.
 Check for gas leaks.
 Make sure the glass door is properly installed before operation. Never operate the appliance with the glass door

removed.

 Make sure venting and termination cap are installed and unobstructed.
 If brick or porcelain liners are used, ensure they are installed.
 Verify that the pilot can be seen when lighting the appliance. If not, the log or rock placement is incorrect.
 If the unit is turned off, you must wait a minimum of 60 seconds before re-lighting it.
 Venting systems should be periodically examined by a qualified agency.
 The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
 The Burner/Log Assembly has been engineered and permanently adjusted for proper flame control.
 Periodically remove the logs from the grate assembly and vacuum any loose particles from the grate and burner

areas. See Log Placement page to remove logs. Vacuum burner parts and replace logs.

 Never use your gas fireplace as a cooking device.
 Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous

operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

 Areas in and around the Chase Vent Openings should be cleaned annually.

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 odor?

It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odor at first. 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 odors).

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 odors can last upward to 40 hours of burn time; keep
burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odors 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.
It is also normal for the fan to make some noise when it comes on. This noise can be reduced somewhat by turning down
the speed of the fan with the variable speed control. Be aware, however, that this will reduce the volume of heated air
circulated into the room by the fan.

Note to the Installer:

Be sure appliance is working properly and its operation (including remote control operation, if included) is fully explained
to and understood by the customer.

For safe installation and operation note the following:

Mobile Home/Manufactured Housing Installation

Warning: Do not compromise the structural integrity of the manufactured home wall, floor

HOMES IN CANADA.

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 8 ga. 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.

Fireplace Installations in Covered Outdoor Locations

– FOR BASIC MILLIVOLT UNITS ONLY- NO FAN – NO LIGHTS-

Kingsman and Marquis Direct Vent fireplaces may be installed into outdoor locations provided they are suitably protected

CAUTION – Installation of an indoor gas fireplace with an outdoor exposure is not covered under the (ANSI
Z21.88 – CSA 2.22 or ANSI Z21.50 – CSA 2.33) standard(s) used to certify the indoor gas-fired fireplace. The
Intertek safety certification will not apply to this installation method. This installation method must be deemed
acceptable by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to the indoor gas fireplace being installed.

from direct water impingement. However, all installation clearances in the appliance manual must be observed. Framing,
Clearances to Combustibles, Mantel Heights, Facing Requirements, Venting Installation, etc. Use supplied Safety Screen.

 All wiring connections to line power shall be in accordance with outdoor requirements of; -NECA NFPA 70 in the USA

-Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 for Canada.

 The Fireplace is not to be operated in temperatures below freezing (0°C / 32°F).

 ⚠ NOTE: TEMPERED GLASS WARNING: Tempered glass is vulnerable to rapid and/or extreme changes in

temperature (thermal shock). Take care to prevent water from contacting the fireplace, especially if it is hot.

 See-Through Units are suitable for an outdoor location, but not on the outside wall of a house or other structure, as

air flows through both sides of the fireplace.

 A Minimum sheltering cover (overhang) of 1/2 the distance from the base of the fireplace to the ceiling (base of

roofline) is required.

EXAMPLE: The bottom of the fireplace is 84” from the ceiling.
Therefore, 42” of sheltering cover is required above fireplace.

Framing Your Gas Fireplace

This section is intended for qualified installers only. Before beginning, make note of where the gas and electrical accesses

Specifications

1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fireplace against non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it
is recommended that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. Drywall & vapor barrier
must be installed over insulation to prevent contact of insulation and unit.

2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace framing dimensions specified (view diagrams).

3. Drywall or other combustible material can extend up to the Drywall Stops located on the sides of the unit, and up to
the bottom and top.

4. A Hearth is not required for this unit.

Certified for installation in a bedroom or bedsitting room. In Canada must be installed with listed millivolt thermostat.

In USA see local codes.

Stand-off and Nailing Tab Locations

Make note of where the stand-off locations are. These stand-offs are provided as indicators to illustrate the boundaries
for framing. Therefore, no framing material is permitted to extend beyond these stand-offs.

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 set at room temperature to allow the unit
to cycle.
For IPI models it may be necessary to set the appliance to Standing Pilot mode to maintain heat in the cavity. The
purpose of this procedure is to prevent cold air from penetrating the chimney and then onto the living space. Therefore,
when the internal temperature is slightly elevated the fireplace is able to freely exhaust its combustion and hence making
it easier to startup.

Holes are provided in bottom of unit to
secure appliance to floor after installation.

are located on the unit. This will streamline the construction process. Furthermore, familiarize yourself with the venting
and clearance requirements (see Venting section) for this appliance. Failure to comply with those requirements can
seriously compromise the safety and operation of the fireplace.
