PURGE CYCLE
This is a power vented fireplace
that requires household electrical
power to operate. It will not operate
during a power failure. When the
fireplace is turned off, the exhaust
blower will continue to operate for
approximately fifteen (15) seconds
after shutdown to expel the exhaust
gases from the venting system.
Orifice Sizes—Sea Level To High Altitude
These appliances are tested and approved
for installation at elevations of 0–4500 ft
(0–1370 m) above sea level, using the
standard burner orice sizes (marked with an
"*" in Table 4). For elevations above 4500 ft,
contact your gas supplier or qualied service
technician.
Deration—At higher elevations, the amount
of BTU fuel value delivered must be reduced
by either:
• Using gas that has been derated by the
gas company.
• Changing the burner orice to a smaller
size as regulated by the local Authorities
Having Jurisdiction and by the (USA)
National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1—latest edition, or in Canada, the
CAN/CGA-B149.1 code—latest edition.
Install the appliance according to the
regulations of the local authorities having
jurisdiction, and the (USA) National Fuel Gas
Code NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1—latest edition,
or (Canada) CAN/CSA-B149.1—latest edition.

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 6 and Figure 44 on Page 26.
Noncombustible 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 5). Mantels constructed of
noncombustible materials may be installed at any height above the
appliance. Minimum clearance requirements include any projections
such as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance.

PRE-INSTALLATION STEPS
The appliance is shipped with all gas controls
and components installed and pre-wired.
Before installing the appliance, follow these steps:
1. Remove the shipping carton.
2. Remove the shipping pad, exposing the
front glass door.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unfasten the
two (2) screws located at the top of the glass
frame (see Figure 40 on Page 24). Tilt the
top of the glass frame away from the unit.
Lift it carefully off the bottom door track
and set the door aside, protecting it from
inadvertent damage.
4. Remove the embers and volcanic stone
from the control compartment.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
The typical sequence of installation is
outlined below. However, each installation
is unique and may result in variations to the
steps described.
See the page numbers references in the
following steps for detailed procedures.
DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS
Step 1. FRAMING
Frame these appliances as illustrated in
Figure 8 on Page 10, unless the appliance is
to be installed in a corner. See Figure 9 on
Page 11 for corner framing installations. All
framing details must allow for a minimum
clearance to combustible framing members
as shown in Table 6 on Page 8.
If the appliance is to be elevated above oor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed below the appliance.
Headers may be in direct contact with
the appliance top spacers but must not
be supported by them or notched to t
around them.
The replace should be secured to the side
framing members using the unit nailing
anges—one top and bottom on each side
of the fireplace front (see Figure 7). Use 8d
nails or their equivalent.

clearance to combustible requirements for the
firebox outer wrapper. Combustible framing may be
in direct contact with the nailing flanges and may
be located closer than 1/2 in. from screw heads and
the firebox wrapper in areas adjacent to the nailing
flanges. Frame the opening to the exact dimensions
specified in the framing details of this manual.
