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.

Why does my fireplace or stove give off odor?

It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odor. 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 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 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.

Note: It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.

Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows. It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time you use it without the fan on.

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.

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 15 feet (4.5 meters) outside the room that houses your gas appliance.

Installation Requirements for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the installer or service agent shall be a plumber or gas fitter licensed by the Commonwealth.

When installed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or where applicable codes; the unit shall be installed with a CO detector per the requirements listed below.

1. For direct-vent appliances, mechanical-vent heating appliances or domestic hot water equipment, where the bottom of the

vent terminal and the air intake is installed below four feet above grade the following requirements must be satisfied:

A If there is not one already present, on each floor level where there are bedroom(s), a carbon monoxide detector and alarm shall be placed in the

living area outside the bedroom(s). The carbon monoxide detector shall comply with NFPA 720 (2005 Edition).

ZDV3318 Fireplace Dimensions

Installing with Top Vent

Island installation with a top vent is possible as long as the horizontal portion of the vent system does not exceed 20 feet (6.1 m).

A - Flat on a wall D - As a room divider B - Across the corner E - Flat on wall corner C - As an island F - Exterior wall

ZDV3318 -CVCK (Clean View Circulating Kit)

ZDV3318 louvered

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 carboning and cleaning of glass.

4. When installing horizontal with a 90 degree bend maintain a minimum of two and a half (2.5”) inches above the bend in enclosures.

For a fireplace with louvers combustible floor can raise 1” above the bottom of the fireplace. For a fireplace with 33CVCK (Clean view Circulating Kit) floor or hearth can raise 7” above the bottom of the fireplace with portions being combustible and non combustible. See drawing on following page.

6. When installing MQSWF surround, the fireplace must be raised a minimum of 2 7/8” above the finished floors, to accommodate the wall surround. The fireplace may be raised higher but the 60” clearance measured from the bottom of the fireplace to the ceiling must be maintained at all times. (i.e. For an 8 ft. ceiling the unit can be raised only 36 inches.)

Framing Specifications

1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fireplace against non insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recom mended 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). Bend nailing tabs forward on left and right of unit and place fireplace into framed enclosure. This allows for 1/2” in front of framing tabs for finishing materials.

3. Drywall or other material can extend flush with the appliance on the bottom, sides and top of fireplace. (louvered models only)
