COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around your appliance with noncombustible
material and wherever cold air could enter
the room. It is especially important to insulate
outside chase cavity between studs and under
floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above
ground level. Gas line holes and other openings
should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced
fiberglass insulation.
If the fireplace is being installed on a cement
slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or
other raised platform can be placed underneath
to prevent cold transfer to the fireplace and
into the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside
surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness
and caulk firestops.

to it. See Page 28 for hearth extension requirements.
Shelf Height
To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface, the venting attached to
the top vent should be routed in a way to minimize obstructions to the
space above the appliance. Do not insulate the space between the ap-pliance and the area above it (see Figure 7). The minimum height from
the base of the appliance to the underside of combustible materials used
to construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shown in Figure 7.
Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels
NOTE: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must
not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the appliance front face
(black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned
in front of or overlapping the appliance face. See Figure 9 and Figure
51 on Page 28.
Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim,
may be installed on the appliance front face with these exceptions: they
must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel.
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according
to the depth of the mantel. See Figure 8. Mantels constructed of non-
combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance
opening. Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such
as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
NOTE: We recommend the use of high temperature paint (rated 175° F
or higher) on the underside of the mantel.

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE
Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the inside
of the right side framing as shown in Figure
13. Gas lines must be routed, constructed and
made of materials that are in strict accordance
with local codes and regulations.
All appliances are factory-equipped with a
exible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff
valve. (See Step 6 on Page 22).
The incoming gas line should be piped into the
valve compartment and connected in one of the
two methods as shown in Figure 36 on Page 23.
Figure 13
Proper Sizing of Gas Line
Properly size and route the gas supply line
from the supply regulator to the area where the
appliance is to be installed per requirements
outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
54 - latest edition (USA) or CAN/CGA-B149.1
- latest edition (Canada).
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to
Table 6 for proper sizing of the gas supply
line, if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines
must be routed, constructed and made of
materials that are in strict accordance with
local codes and regulations. We recommend
that a qualied individual such as a plumber
or gas fitter be hired to correctly size and route
the gas supply line to the appliance. Installing
a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the
appliance involves numerous considerations of
materials, protection, sizing, locations, controls,
pressure, sediment, and more. Certainly no one
unfamiliar and unqualied should attempt sizing
or installing gas piping.

NOTES:
• All appliances are factory-equipped with a
exible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff
valve (see Figure 36 on Page 23).
• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page
4 for additional requirements for installations
in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.
• The gas supply line should Not be connected
to the appliance until Step 6 (Page 23).
• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be
used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications. Be very careful that the pipe
compound does not get inside the pipe.
• It is recommended to install a sediment trap
in the supply line as close as possible to the
appliance (see Figure 36 on Page 23).
• Check with local building ofcial for local
code requirements.
IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that
if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100 lbs, if
this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling.
Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure,
resulting in insufficient fuel delivery (which
can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition
or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting
from an improper installation, such as this,
is not covered under the limited warranty.

Use only approved venting components.
See Approved Vent Components on
Page 2.
These fireplaces must be vented directly
to the outside.
The vent system may not service multiple
appliances, and must never be connected to a
flue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. The vent pipe is tested to be run inside
an enclosing wall (such as a chase). There is
no requirement for inspection openings in the
enclosing wall at any of the joints in the vent pipe.
Installation of Vent Restrictor
A vent restrictor may be needed with this
appliance. The restrictor is installed in the
appliance top flue outlet as shown in Figure 14,
For vertical venting from 6 feet to 12 feet or
more, from the top of the fireplace to the top
of the termination, the installation of a vent
restrictor is required.
If necessary, install a vent restrictor in the
appliance flue outlet as shown in Figure 14. The
vent restrictor is held in place by friction, only.
NOTE: The restrictor is included within the
firebox.

The vertical vent system terminates through
the roof. The minimum vent height above the
roof and/or adjacent walls is specified in ANSI
Z223.1 - latest edition (In Canada, the current
CAN/CGA-B149.1 installation code) by major
building codes. Always consult your local
codes for specic requirements. A general
guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to
Figure 4 on Page 6).

Vertical (Offset) Installation
Analyze the vent routing and determine the
quantities of vent sections and number of elbows
required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and
Tables on Page 16 to select the type of vertical
installation desired. Vent sections are available
in net lengths of 4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267
mm), 22-1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and
46-1/2" (1181 mm). Refer to the Vent Section
Length Chart on Page 13 for an aid in select-
ing length combinations. Elbows are available
in 90° and 45° congurations. Refer to Figure
20 on Page 15 for the SV8 E45 and SV8 E90
elbow dimensional specifications.
Where required, a telescopic vent section
(SV8LA) may be used to provide the installer
with an option in installing in tight and confined
spaces or where the vent run made up of fixed
length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable
location, or will not build up to the required
length. The SV8LA Telescopic Vent Section has
an effective length of from 1-1/2" (38 mm) to
6-3/4" (171 mm). The SV8LA is tted with a
dimpled end (identical to a normal vent section
component) and a plain end with 3 pilot holes.
Slip the dimpled end over the locking channel
end of a standard SV8 vent component the
required distance and secure with three screws.
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance
to combustible materials for all vertical elements. Clearances for all horizontal elements
are 3" (76 mm) on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides
and 1" (25 mm) on the bottom.
A. Frame ceiling opening - Use a plumb line
from the ceiling above the appliance to locate
center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an
opening, 13" x 13" (330 mm x 330 mm) inside
dime nsions, about this center mark (Figure 16).

To attach a vent component to the appliance
collar, align the dimpled end over the collar,
adjusting the radial alignment until the four
locking dimples are aligned with the inlet of
the four inclined channels on the collar (refer to Figure 17). Push the vent component against
the collar until it fully engages, then twist the
component clockwise, running the dimples
down and along the incline channels until they
seat at the end of the channels. The unitized
design of the Secure Vent components will
engage and seal both the inner and outer pipe
without the need for sealant or screws. If desired
a #6 x 1/2" screw may be used at the joint, but
it is not required as the pipe will securely lock
when twisted.
C. Attach vent components to each other - Other
vent sections may be added to the previously
installed section in accordance with the requirements of the vertical vent figures and tables.
To add another vent component to a length of
vent run, align the dimpled end over the inclined
channel end of the previously installed section,
adjusting the radial alignment until the four
locking dimples are aligned with the inlets of
the four incline channels of the previous section.
Push the vent component against the previous
section until it fully engages, then twist the
component clockwise running the dimples down
and along the incline channels until they seat at
the end of the channels. This seating position
is indicated by the alignment of the arrow and
dimple as shown in Figure 17.
D. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - When
using Secure Vent, use SV8BF restop/spacer
at ceiling joists. If there is living space above
the ceiling level, the firestop/spacer must be
installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic
space is above the ceiling, the firestop/spacer
must be installed on the top side of the joist.
Route the vent sections through the framed
opening and secure the firestop/spacer with
8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each
corner. Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm)
clearance to combustibles, framing members,
and attic or ceiling insulation when running
vertical chimney sections. Attic insulation
shield (H3908) may be used to obtain the
required clearances indicated here. See
installation accessories on Page 30. The gap
between the vent pipe and a vertical firestop
can be sealed with non-combustible caulking.
E.Support the vertical vent run sections -
NOTE: Proper venting support is very important.
The weight of the vent must not be supported
by the fireplace in any degree.
Support the vertical portion of the venting
system every 8 feet (2.4 m) above the replace
vent outlet.

One method of support is by utilizing field provided support straps (conventional plumber's
tape). Secure the plumber's tape to the framing
members with nails or screws. Strap the tape
around the vent, securing the ends of the tape
to the framing. If desired, sheet metal screws
#6 x 1/2" length may be used to secure the
support straps to the vent pipe. See Figure 18
on Page 14.
F. Change vent direction to horizontal/inclined
run - At transition from or to a horizontal/inclined
run, install the SV8 E45 and SV8 E90 elbows in
the same manner as the straight vent sections.
The elbows feature a twist section to allow them
to be routed about the center axis of their initial
collar section to align with the required direction of the next vent run element. Twist elbow
sections in a clockwise direction only so as
to avoid the possibility of unlocking any of
the previously connected vent sections. See
Figure 17 on Page 14 and Figure 19.

G. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined
sections - Continue with the installation of the
straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run
as described in Step C. Install support straps
every 3 ft (914 mm) along horizontal/inclined
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.
See Page 17, Figure 26. It is very important
that the horizontal/inclined run be maintained in
a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The
recommended incline is approximately 1/4" per
foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal, in a direction
away from the fireplace. The rise per foot run
ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the way
down to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level
to measure from a constant surface and adjust
the support straps as necessary.
It is important to maintain the required clearances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all sides
for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the
top, 1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at
the bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.
H.Frame roof opening - Identify location for
vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per
Roof Framing Chart (Figure 20).

I.Install the roof flashing - Extend the vent
sections through the roof structure. Install the
roof flashing over the vent section and position such that the vent column rises vertically
(use carpenters level) (Figure 21). Nail along
perimeter to secure flashing or adjust roofing to
overlap the flashing edges at top and sides only
and trim where necessary. Seal the top and both
sides of the flashing with waterproof caulking.
J. Install the storm collar - Install the storm
collar, supplied with the flashing, over the vent/
flashing joint (see Figure 21). Loosen the storm

K. Install the vertical termination - The final
step involves installation of the Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections to the height as
shown in the "Vertical vent termination section"
on Page 6. The SV8VTR Vertical Termination
(Figure 22) can be installed in the exact same
fashion as any other Secure Vent® section. Align
the termination over the end of the previously
installed section, adjusting the radial alignment
until the four locking dimples of the termination
are aligned with the inlets of the four incline
channels of the last vent section. Push the termination down until it fully engages, then twist
the termination clockwise running the dimples
down and along the incline channels until they
seat at the end of the channels.
Figure 22
If the vent system extends more than 5 feet (1.5
m) above the roof ashing, stabilizers may be
necessary. Additional screws may be used at
section joints for added stability. Guide wires
may be attached to the joint for additional support on multiple joint configurations.

inclined run be maintained in a straight
(no dips), slightly elevated plane. The
recommended incline is approximately
1/4" per foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal,
in a direction away from the fireplace. The
rise per foot run ratios that are smaller are
acceptable all the way down to at or near
level.
• SV8BF (Secure Vent) firestop/spacer must
be used anytime vent pipe passes through a
combustible floor or ceiling. SV8HF (Secure
Vent) firestop/spacer must be used anytime
vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
• Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one
90º elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as
shown in the venting figures for 90º elbows,
must be followed if 45º elbows are used.
A Vent Restrictor, as
shown in
Figure 14 on Page 12,
must be used in this
application.
Example: If 20 feet of (H+ H
tal vent run is needed, then 4-1/2 feet
minimum of (V) vertical vent will be
required.

HORIZONTAL (OUTSIDE WALL) TERMINATION
SYSTEM
See Figures 26 - 31 and their associated
Horizontal Vent tables that illustrate the various horizontal venting configurations that are
possible for use with these appliances. Secure
®
Vent
pipe applications are shown in these
Figures. A Horizontal Vent table summarizes
each system’s minimum and maximum vertical
and horizontal length values that can be used
to design and install the vent components in a
variety of applications.
The horizontal vent system terminates through
an outside wall. Building Codes limit or prohibit
terminating in specific areas. Refer to Figure 6
on Page 7 for location guidelines.
Secure Vent SV8 direct-vent system compo-
nents are unitized concentric pipe components
featuring positive twist lock connection, (refer to Figure 17on Page 14). All of the appliances covered in this document are fitted with
collars having locking inclined channels. The
dimpled end of the vent components fit over
the appliance collar to create the positive twist
lock connection.
A.Plan the vent run.
Analyze the vent routing and determine the
types and quantities of sections required
4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm), 22-1/2" (572
mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181 mm) net
section lengths are available. It is recommended
that you plan the venting so that a joint does not
occur in the ceiling or roof joists. Allow for elbows
as indicated in Figure 20 on Page 15.
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance
to combustibles on the vertical sections.
Clearances for the horizontal runs are; 3"
(76 mm) on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides, and
1" (25 mm) at the bottom.
B. Frame exterior wall opening - Locate the
center of the vent outlet on the exterior wall
according to the dimensions shown in Figure 11 on Page 10. Cut and/or frame an opening,
15" x 13" (381 mm x 330 mm) inside dimensions, with 9" above center and 7" below center.
C.Frame ceiling opening - If the vertical
route is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb line
to locate the center above the appliance. Cut
and/or frame an opening, 13" x 13" (330 mm x
330 mm) inside dimensions, about this center
(refer to Figure 17 on Page 14).
D. Attach vent components to appliance - To
attach a vent component to the appliance collar,
align the dimpled end over the collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking
dimples are aligned with the inlets of the four
incline channels on the collar (refer to Figure 16on Page 14).

Push the vent component against the collar
until it fully engages, then twist the component
clockwise, running the dimples down and along
the incline channels until they seat at the end of
the channels. The unitized design of the Secure Vent components will engage and seal both the
inner and outer pipe elements with the same
procedure. Sealant and securing screws are
not required.
E. Attach vent components to each other - Other
vent sections may be added to the previously
installed section in accordance with the re-
quirements of the vent tables. To add another
vent component to a length of vent run, align
the dimpled end of the component over the
inclined channel end of the previously installed
section, adjusting the radial alignment until the
four locking dimples are aligned with the inlets
of the four incline channels of the previous
section. Push the vent component against the
previous section until it fully engages, then
twist the component clockwise running the
dimples down and along the incline channels
until they seat at the end of the channels. This
seating position is indicated by the alignment
of the arrow and dimple as shown in Figure
17 on Page 14.
F.Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - When
using Secure Vent, use SV8BF restop/spacer
at ceiling joists. If there is living space above
the ceiling level, the firestop/ spacer must be
installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If
attic space is above the ceiling, the firestop/
spacer must be installed on the top side of
the joist. Route the vent sections through the
framed opening and secure the firestop/spacer
with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at
each corner.
Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm) clearance
to combustibles, framing members, and attic
or ceiling insulation when running vertical
chimney sections.

G.Support the vertical run sections - See Step
E on Page 14.
H. Change vent direction - At transition from or
to a horizontal/inclined run, install the SV8E45
and SV8E90 elbows in the same manner as the
straight vent sections. The elbows feature a twist
section to allow them to be routed about the
center axis of their initial collar section to align
with the required direction of the next vent run
element. Twist elbow sections in a clockwise
direction only so as to avoid the possibility
of unlocking any of the previously connected
vent sections (see Figure 17 on Page 14).
I. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined
sections - Continue with the installation of the
straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined
run as described in Step E on Page 14. Install
support straps every 3 feet (1914 mm) along
horizontal/inclined vent runs using conventional
plumber’s tape.
See Figure 26, It is very important that the
horizontal/inclined run be maintained in a
straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The
recommended incline is approximately 1/4"
per foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal, in a
direction away from the fireplace. The rise per
foot run ratios that are smaller are acceptable
all the way down to at or near level.
It is important to maintain the required clearances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all sides
for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the
top, 1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at
the bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.
Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a
constant surface and adjust the support straps
as necessary.

vent system to point where the terminus of the
last section is within 5" (127 mm) to 8-1/2" (216
mm) inboard of the exterior surface to which
the SV8HTS termination is to be attached, see
Figure 29 and Table 9 on Page 19.
If the terminus of the last section is not within
this distance, use the telescopic vent section SV8LA, as the last vent section. For wall thicknesses greater than that shown in Figure 28,
refer to Table 9 on Page 19. This table lists
the additional venting components needed (in
addition to the termination and adaptor) for a
particular range of wall thicknesses.
K.Attach termination adaptor - Attach the
adaptor (adaptor - SV8RCH - provided with the
termination) to the vent section or telescoping
vent section), or elbow as shown in Figure 27
in the same manner as any SV vent component
(refer to Step E on Page 17).
L. Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall
- When using the squaretermination, install
SV8HF Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the
exterior side of the framing, long side up, with
the 3" spacer clearance at the top as shown in
Figure 27, and nail into place.
To help minimize water infiltration it

Figure 28 - Wall Thickness and Horizontal Termination Requirements
Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather conditions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termination
where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow of cascading water
8-1/2", see Table 9
onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the possibility of cascading water
exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the water away from the termination cap
by using gutters or other means.
Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including the
use of silicone caulking where required.

Step 5. REMOVE GLASS DOOR FRAME
Remove the glass door assembly. See Installation and Removal of Glass Door on Page 26.
Step 6. CONNECTING GAS LINE
All codes require a shut-off valve mounted in the
supply line. The orientation of the shut-off valve
should face the front. Figure 36 illustrates two
methods for connecting the gas supply. A Sediment Trap is recommended to prevent moisture
and debris in gas line from damaging the valve.
The flex-line method is acceptable in the U.S.A.
where local codes permit, however, Canadian
requirements vary depending on locality. Installation must be in compliance with local codes.
These appliances are equipped with a gas ex-
line for use in connecting the unit to the gas
line. See Figure 36 for flex-line description. The
flex-line is rated for both natural and propane
gas. A manual shut off valve is also provided
with the flex-line.
The gas control valve is located on the right
side of the unit.
When using solid gas line connector, access
the valve by removing the front door assembly
on the valve access side and the access plate
(see Figure 37).
The electronic control valve has a 3/8" (10 mm)
NPT thread gas supply inlet.
Bring the shutoff valve on the end of the ex-line
over to the hard pipe and tighten with wrenches
from above through the firebox opening.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate
tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane applications). It is recommended to seal around
the gas line to prevent cold air leakage.
Figure 37
TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS
(FACTORY AND FIELD):
WARNING
Never use an open flame to
check for leaks.
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a
gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble
leak solution).
NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an
effective leak test solution but it is not recommended, because the soap residue that is left
on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion
over time.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions label in the control compartment
or in the Care and Operation Instructions
manual).
B.Brush all joints and connections with the gas
leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles
are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
receiver or remote control to the “OFF” position.
Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection,
then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak-free
be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.
D. Re-install the access plate, making certain the
gasket has not been damaged.
Step 7. CHECKING APPLIANCE
OPERATION
Turn on burner then observe the individual
tongues of ame on the burner. Make sure all
ports are open and producing flame evenly
across the burner. If any ports are blocked, or
partially blocked, clean out the ports.
With gas line installed run initial system checkout before closing up the front of the unit. Follow
the lighting instructions provided in the Care
and Operation Instructions manual.
NOTE: Lighting Instructions are also found on
the literature tag tied to the bracket above the
gas valve. To access the tag, reach into the
right side opening.
When rst lighting the appliance, it will take a few
minutes for the line to purge itself of air. Once
purging is complete, the pilot and burner will
light and operate as indicated in the instruction
manual. Subsequent lighting of the appliance will
not require such purging. Inspect the pilot ame
(remove logs, if necessary, handling carefully).
Electronic Appliance Checkout
To light the burner, turn “ON” the optional remote
wall switch or turn the appliance mounted ON/
OFF switch to the “ON” position. Ensure the
igniter lights the pilot. The pilot flame should
engulf the flame sensor as shown in Figure 38.
Figure 36 - Gas Connection
NOTE: The gas supply line must
be installed in accordance
with building codes by a qualified installer approved and/or
licensed as required by the
locality. In the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, installation
must be performed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter.

WARNING
• DO NOT attempt to install the logs until the
appliance installation has been completed, the
gas line connected and tested for leaks and the
initial burner operation has been checked out.
The size and position of the log set was engineered
•
to give the appliance a safe, reliable and attractive
flame pattern. Any attempt to use a different log
set in the fireplace will void the warranty and will
result in incomplete combustion, sooting, and
poor flame quality.
Logs get very hot and will remain hot up to one
•
hour after gas supply is turned off. Handle only
when logs are cool. Turn off all electricity to the
appliance before you install grate, volcanic stone,
embers and logs.
This appliance is not designed to burn wood. Any
•
attempt to do so could cause irreparable damage to
the appliance and prove hazardous to your safety.
If logs are not installed according to the log
•
installation instructions, flame impingement and
improper combustion could occur and result in soot
and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide
(CO), a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.
Step 4. Position the individual logs as shown in Figures 42 through 46.
Logs should be placed in the order shown. Place logs 2 and 3
against the pins on the grate, NOT over them.
Proper log and twig placement is critical to encourage outstand-
ing ame appearance and prevent sooting. When positioned
properly as shown, twigs will be positioned between flame
peaks and will not impinge any flames.

Step 10. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Flame Appearance and sooting
Proper flame appearance is a flame which is
blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange
in the body of the ame. When the appliance is
first lit, the entire flame may be blue and will
gradually turn yellowish-orange during the first
15 minutes of operation. After 15 minutes of
operation, if the flame is blue, or if the flame is
orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the
air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter opening is closed too far,
sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by
black puffs developing at the tips of very long
orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits
forming on the logs, appliance inside surfaces
and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent
termination.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion
in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm
yellowish-orange flame with an orange body
that does not soot, the shutter opening must be
adjusted between these two extremes.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, rst check
the log set positioning to ensure that the
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.
If the log set is properly positioned and a
sooting condition still exists, then the air
shutter opening should be increased.
• The more offsets in the vent system, the larger
the air shutter opening will need to be.
• An appliance operated with the air shutter
opened too far, may have flames that appear
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent flames are termed anemic.
• Propane models may exhibit ames which
candle or appear stringy. If this is present
and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more
closed position, then operate the appliance
for a few more minutes to ensure that the
flame normalizes and the flames do not
appear sooty.
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment
for your installation.

Soot will be produced if the air
shutter is closed too much. Any
damage due to carboning resulting from improperly setting the
air shutter is not covered under
the warranty.
To adjust the flame, rotate the air shutter toward
the back or toward the front of the fireplace.
Position the air shutter to the factory setting as
shown in the table in Figure 48. Allow the burner
to operate for at least 15 minutes. Observe the
flame continuously. If it appears weak or sooty
as previously described, adjust the air shutter
until the flame appearance is as desired.
Use the remote to adjust the flame height
as desired.
Propane models may exhibit a flame pattern
that may candle or appear stringy. If this is
problematic or persists as the appliance is
continually operated, adjust the air shutter
closed as described in the previous paragraphs.
Operate the appliance for a period of time as the
effect diminishes, ensuring that the appliance
does not develop sooty ames. When satised
that the appliance operates properly, proceed
to finish the installation.
