Pre-installation Questions and Answers
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 (su ch 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.
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 burni ng 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 an d 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.
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. Do not attempt to clean the glass while it is hot.
Operating Instructions
1. Be sure to read and understand all the instructions in this manual before operation of appliance.
2. Ensure all wiring is correct and properly enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3. Check for gas leaks.
4. Make sure the glass door is properly installed before operation. Never operate the appliance with the glass door
removed.
5. Make sure venting and termination cap are installed and unobstructed.
6. If brick or porcelain liners are used, ensure they are installed.
7. Verify that the pilot can be seen when lighting the appliance. If not, the log or rock placement is incorrect.
8. If the unit is turned off, you must wait a minimum of 60 seconds before re-lighting it.

Framing for your Gas Fireplace
8
This section will cover four different types of installations: General, Corner, Raised, and Cabinet
installation. It is intended for qualified installers only.
Before beginning, make note of where the gas and electrical accesses 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.
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 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 (see framing diagrams).
3. Drywall or other material can extend up to the various Stand-offs located on the side and top surfaces of the unit,
and flush with the bottom (see Stand-off Locations section). Please note that 1/2" facing material (e.g. drywall) can
be extended into the lower cavity of the unit.
4. When installing horizontal with a 90 degree bend maintain a minimum of two and a half inches [2.5"] above the
bend in enclosures.
5. A Hearth is not required for this unit.
For Propane Horizontal Installations the venting must be a minimum of one foot vertical off the flue before the elbow
on any horizontal runs of one foot or greater. This allows for cleaner combustion, and greatly reduces carbon deposits
and cleaning of glass. (Does not apply to Back Flue models)
Stand-off Locations
Please make note of where the stand-off
locations are. These stand-offs are provided
as indicators to illustrate the boundaries for
framing. Therefore, no construction material
is permitted to extend beyond these standoffs.
The Facing Material Lower Cavity is a channel designed to permit facing material (maximum of 1/2" thick) to extend into. The maximum extension allowed is 7/16” [1.1cm].
Mounting Tab Selection Guide
The Mounting Tabs are designed for
installation of two different configurations.
The first, as shown in Figure 3, is the Stud
Mount configuration, and the second is
the Cabinet Mount configuration.
Figure 4 - Cabinet mount configuration.
Figure 3 - Stud mount configuration
The Stud Mount configuration is for instances where facing material will be used. This includes drywall, granite, slate, marble, brick, and various other combustible and non-combustible materials. To
mount the unit to a stud, simply bend the Back Tabs forward in the position shown in Figure 3. The
Front Tabs maybe bent forward to clear a way for access to the screw holes. Using the holes provided
on the Back Tab, fasten the unit to the studs with the appropriate eight [8] screws.
For Cabinet installations, bend the Back Tabs back flush against the side of the unit. Using the holes
on the Front Tabs, fasten the appliance to the Cabinet with the appropriate eight [8] screws.

General Framing Installations
Figure 5 - General framing installation.
10
Corner Installations
11
For Corner Installations the minimum clearance to combustibles in Table 1 must still be adhered
to. Please refer to Figure 5 and the Clearance to Combustibles table for more information.
In Figure 6, the minimum dimensions of a corner framing scenario is illustrated.
Figure 6 - Corner Installation.
Raised Installation
For Raised Installations the minimum clearance to combustibles mentioned in Table 1 must still be
adhered to. Please refer to Figure 5 and the Clearance to Combustibles table for more information.
Furthermore, make special considerations to the Minimum Ceiling height restriction. This value is
taken from the bottom of the appliance—not the floor. Thus, if the unit is installed in a raised configuration then the absolute ceiling height will be
Absolute Minimum Ceiling Height = Min. Ceiling Height + Raised Height
This formula is illustrated in Figure 5.
Cabinet Installation Guide
For cabinet installations: It is necessary that the appliance be installed from the rear of the cabinet. Simply bend the front Nailing Tabs enough so they clear the cabinet cutout. Once the appliance is positioned through, restore the front Nailing Tabs to their mounting configuration. Once
installed, they should be in front of the face of the cabinet.
Furthermore, it is imperative that the appliance is resting on a secure platform. Consult with the
cabinet manufacturer to ensure that the supporting platform is capable of carrying the load of the
appliance.
:
NOTE: Additional access to the gas valve and electrical conjunction box is provided. These
cutouts are located at the bottom of the unit. Please refer Figure 1 for the dimensional location.
Figure 7 - Cabinet installation. Note that the unit MUST be installed from the back of the cabinet.
Figure 8 - Dimensions for facing material cutout.
12
Mantel Clearance Requirements
13
Combustible materials may be installed right up to the stand-offs on the unit (see Standoff Locations). For mantels with combustible material please refer to Figure 9 below for
clearance information.
NOTE: Non-combustible mantels can be installed at any height above the firepl ace vent opening.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat resistant
(250°F [121°C]) to prevent discoloration.
WARNING: Combustible objects must not be placed on a non-combustible mantel unless the non-
combustible mantel meets the minimum height and width requirements for a combustible mantel.
Figure 9 - Mantel clearance information.
Example
If a mantel is desired to extend 4-1/2” beyond the non-combustible facing material; the point at
which it is 4-1/2” outward, it must also be 8” upward above the upper arch of the vent opening.
Sidewall Clearance Requirements
14
Any installation with a sidewall (i.e. a wall perpendicular to the face of the unit) must adhere to the
clearances imposed by the illustration shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10 - Sidewall clearance requirements.
Facing Material Installation Guide
To ensure the Front Surround covers the maximum area of the cutout, it is recommended that the
upper corners of the cutout be rounded with a 1” to 2” [25.4mm to 50.8mm] radius. This is shown
in Figure 12.
Figure 11 - Installation guide for 1/2" facing material.
Figure 12 - Recommended 1" to 2" radius on upper corner of facing material cutout.
15
The entire Facing Material for this unit may either be of combustible or non-combustible material. It
is recommended that the Facing be installed after the unit is secured in its framing and properly
vented. A cutout profile for this unit is shown in the Dimensional Overview section.
NOTE: Only one 2x4 stud/header may be used in the frame. Please refer to Figure 5 on page
10 or Figure 11 below.
