LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and
functional use of the appliance are primary
concerns. However, vent system routing to the
exterior and access to the fuel supply are also
important. Due to high temperatures the
appliance should be located out of traffic
and away from furniture and draperies.
Consideration should be given to traffic ways,
furniture, draperies, etc., due to elevated surface temperatures (
Figure 2
). The location
should also be free of electrical, plumbing or
other heating/air conditioning ducting.
These direct vent appliances are uniquely suited
for installations requiring a utility shelf positioned directly above the fireplace. Utility shelves
like these are commonly used for locating television sets and decorative plants.
To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface
use the alternate rear vent outlet with attached
venting routed in a way to minimize obstructions to the use of the space above the appliance. Do not insulate the space between the
appliance and the area above it. See
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 the table in
Figure 3
.
The appliance should be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width and
depth of the unit. The appliance may be located
on or near conventional construction materials. However, if installed on combustible materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal
or wood barrier covering the entire bottom
surface must be used.
APPLIANCE AND VENT CLEARANCES
The appliance is approved with zero clearance
to combustible materials on all sides (as detailed in
Table 2 )
When the unit is installed with one side flush
with a wall, the wall on the other side of the unit
must not extend beyond the front edge of the
unit. In addition, when the unit is recessed, the
side walls surrounding the unit must not extend
beyond the front edge of the unit. See

use with these appliances. Secure Vent pipe
applications are shown in these figures; SecureFlex pipe may also be used. A Vertical 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.
Both these vertical vent systems terminate
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-1 B149 installation code) by
major building codes. Always consult your
local codes for specific requirements. A general
guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to
Figure 4
Vertical (Straight) Installation
Determine the number of straight vent sections
required. 4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm),
22-1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 461/2" (1181 mm) net section lengths are available. Plan the vent lengths so that a joint does
not occur at the intersection of ceiling or roof
joists. Refer to the Vent Section Length Chart.

Analyze the vent routing and determine the quantities of vent sections and number of elbows
required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures andTables on page 14 and 15 to select the type of
vertical installation desired. Vent sections are
available in net lengths of 4-1/2" (114 mm), 101/2" (267 mm), 22-1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2" (876
mm) and 46-1/2" (1181 mm). Refer to the VentSection Length Chart on page 10 for an aid in
selecting length combinations. Elbows are available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer to
Figure 21 on page 13
for the SV4.5E45 and
SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional specifications.
Where required, a telescopic vent section
(SV4.5LA) 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 SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section has an
effective length of from 1-1/2" (38 mm) to 7-1/2"
(191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with a locking
inclined channel end (identical to a normal vent
section component) and a plain end with 3 pilot
holes. Slip the plain end over the locking channel
end of a standard SV4.5 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, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267mm x 267mm)
inside dimensions, about this center mark

. 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 is not required as the
pipe will securely lock when twisted.
(refer
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 19.
D. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - When
using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer
at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex, use
SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. 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 (96K94) may be used to obtain
the required clearances indicated here. See
installation accessories table on page 27.
E. Support the vertical vent run sections -
Note - Proper venting support is very impor-
tant. The weight of the vent must not be
supported by the firplace in any degree.
Support the vertical portion of the venting
system every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fireplace
vent outlet.
Figure 17
B. Attach vent components to appliance Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system compo-
Note: An elbow may also be attached to the
appliance collar. Attach in the same manner
as you would a vent section.
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.
Figure 20
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
One method of support is by utilizing field
Storm
Collar
provided support straps (conventional
plumber's tape). Secure the plumber's tape
to the framing members with nails or screws.
Loop 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. Refer to
Figure 20.
H. Frame roof opening - Identify location for
vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per
Roof Framing Chart and

.
F. Change vent direction to horizontal/inclined run - At transition from or to a horizon-
tal/inclined run, install the SV4.5E45 and
SV4.5E90 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
possiblity of unlocking any of the previously
connected vent sections. See

very important that the horizontal/inclined
run be maintained in a straight (no dips) and
recommended to be in a slightly elevated
plane, in a direction away from the fireplace
of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm per meter) which is
ideal, though 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.

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 23
). 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.

K. Install the vertical termination - The final
step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1
Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections to the height as shown in the "Vertical
vent termination section" on page 5. The
SV4.5CGV-1 Vertical Termination
(Figure 25)
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 are seated at the
end of the channels.
Figure 25
If the vent system extends more than 5' (1.5 m)
above the roof flashing, 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.

VERTICAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES
Note: Secure Vent (rigid vent pipe) is shown
in the figures; Secure Flex (flexible vent pipe)
may also be used.
Note: It is very important that the horizontal/
inclined run be maintained in a straight (no
dips) and recommended to be in a slightly
elevated plane, in a direction away from the
fireplace of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm per
meter) which is ideal, though rise per foot run
ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the
way down to at or near level.
Flex) firestop/spacer must be used anytime vent
pipe passes through a combustible floor or
ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)firestop/spacer must be used anytime
vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
Note: Two 45 degree elbows may be used in
place of one 90 degree elbow. The same rise to
run ratios, as shown in the venting figures for
90 elbows, must be followed if 45 degree
elbows are used.
Note: An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of
vertical rise, except where an elbow is the
only vertical component in the system. (See

HORIZONTAL (OUTSIDE WALL)
TERMINATION SYSTEM
Figure 31, and Figures 34 to 41 on pages 18,
19 and 20
and their associated Horizontal Vent
Table illustrate the various horizontal venting
configurations that are possible for use with
these appliances. Secure Vent pipe applications are shown in these figures; Secure Flex
pipe may also be used. 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.
Both of these horizontal vent systems terminate
through an outside wall. Building Codes limit or
prohibit terminating in specific areas. Refer to
on page 12). 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. Plan the
vent lengths so that a joint does not occur at the
intersection of ceiling or roof joists. Make allowances for elbows as indicated in
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
page 7. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2" x 12-1/8"
(267 mm x 308mm) inside dimensions, about this
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, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2"
(267 mm x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about
this center (refer to
Figure 17
on page 12 ).
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 18
on page 12). 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.
Note: An elbow may also be attached to the
appliance collar. Attach in the same manner as
you would a vent section.
E. Attach vent components to each other -
Other vent sections may be added to the previously installed section in accordance with the
requirements 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
on
the channels.This seating position is indicated
by the alignment of the arrow and dimple as
shown in
Figure 19 on page 12.
F. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling -
When using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex, use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. 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.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
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 Section E on page 12.
H. Change vent direction - At transition from
or to a horizontal/inclined run, install the
SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 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 possiblity of unlocking any of the
previously connected vent sections. See
ure 21 on page 13
.
Fig-
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. Install support
straps every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/
inclined vent runs using conventional plumber’s
tape. See
Figure 31.
It is very important that
the horizontal/inclined run be maintained in
a straight (no dips) and recommended to be
in a slightly elevated plane, in a direction
away from the fireplace of 1/4" rise per foot
(20 mm per meter) which is ideal, though 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
J. Assemble vent run to exterior wall - If not
previously measured, locate the center of the
vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening as
described in Step B. Assemble the vent system
to point where the terminus of the last section
is located relative to the exterior surface to
which the termination is to be attached as
shown in
Figure 33 and Table 4 on page 18
If the terminus of the last section is not within
this distance, use the telescopic vent sectionSV4.5LA, as the last vent section. For wall
thicknesses greater than that shown in

, refer to
Table 4 on page 18
Figure
. This table lists
the additional venting components needed (in
addition to the termination and adapter) for a
particular range of wall thicknesses.
K.Attach termination adapter - Attach the
adapter (adapter - SV4.5RCH - provided with
the termination) to the vent section or telescoping vent section), elbow or appliance collar as shown in
Figure 32
in the same manner
as any SV4.5 vent component (refer to Step E).
L.Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall -
When using the square termination, install
SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)
Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exterior side of the framing, long side up, with the
3 inch spacer clearance at the top as shown in
Figure 32
, and nail into place.
(The Firestop/Spacer may also be installed over
the opening at the interior side of the framing.)
M. Install the desired termination -
1. Install the square termination (SV4.5HT-2)
- For the last step , from outside the exterior
wall, slide the collars of the termination onto the
adapter (the outer over the outer and the inner
inside the inner) until the termination seats
against the exterior wall surface to which it will
be attached. Orient the housing of the termination with the arrow pointed upwards. Secure
the termination to the exterior wall. The hori-
zontal termination must not be recessed into
the exterior wall or siding by more than the 1-
1/4" (32 mm) as shown in
Figure 33
.
SVHRK Snorkel Cap –The snorkel cap is de-
signed to be fitted into a basement window box.
The SVHRK cap is for use with flex vent pipe.
The vertical distance between the inlet and
outlet of the cap is 28 in. (711 mm).
IMPORTANT: The vent termination is hot
while in operation and for a period of time
following use of the fireplace. To prevent
contact with hot surfaces, we recommend
the use of a Termination Guard. This can be
purchased at your local dealer.

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 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.

Secure Flex components (flexible vent pipe and
terminal) may also be used.
Note: Two 45 degree elbows may be used in place
of one 90 degree elbow. The same rise to run ratios,
as shown in the venting figures for 90 elbows,must
be followed if 45 degree elbows are used.
Note: It is very important that the horizontal/
inclined run be maintained in a straight (no
dips) and recommended to be in a slightly
elevated plane, in a direction away from the
fireplace of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm per
meter) which is ideal, though rise per foot run
ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the
way down to at or near level.
Note: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure
Flex) firestop/spacer must be used anytime vent
pipe passes through a combustible floor or
ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must be used anytime
vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
Note: An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of

VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL VENTING USING
SECURE FLEX
KITS AND COMPONENTS
Secure Flex venting kits and components may
be used in any venting application where rigid
Secure Vent (SV4.5) direct vent components
can be used. All restrictions, clearances and
allowances that pertain to the rigid piping apply
to the flexible venting.
Secure Flex
kits may
not be modified; also, under no circumstances
may separate sections of flex pipe be joined
together. Secure Flex kits may be added to the
end of a vent run made up of rigid Secure Vent
(SV4.5) vent sections provided that doing so
does not violate any of the venting length,
height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements or clearance considerations detailed in this manual.
Secure Flex kits come with an included adapter
that can be fitted to the appliance collar or the
inclined channel end of the last Secure Vent
(SV4.5) vent section in a rigid system in the exact
same fashion as any other Secure Vent section.
Align the dimpled end of the adapter over the
previously installed section or appliance collar,
adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples of the adapter are aligned with the
inlets of the four incline channels of the last vent
section or collar. Push on the adapter until it fully
engages, then twist the adapter clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline
channels until they seat at the end of the channels.
Attach the flexible vent to the adapter as
follows (see also
Figure 41)
:
A. Install the Inner Flex Pipe -
1. Install the small gear clamp loosely around
the inner flexible vent pipe, push it back out of
the way.
2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700
°F)
high temperature sealant - Catalog No.
10K81) to the inner adapter collar, approxi-
mately 1/2 inch from the end.
3. Pull and extend the inner flexible vent pipe.
4. Slide the inner flex pipe over the adapter
collar. Ensure the flexible vent pipe completely
engages the adapter collar to a distance of 1³⁄₄
inch from the end, and that it is free from
damage or tears.
5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten it
fully to secure the flexible vent to the adapter
inner collar approximately ³⁄₄ inch from the
end of the flex.
6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart through
the flexible vent pipe and into the adapter collar
just below the gear clamp to provide additional
security to the connection.
NOTE: OUTER PIPE IS PULLED AWAY TO
SHOW THE DETAIL OF THE INNER PIPE
Apply ONLY MIL-PAC BLACK HIGH
TEMPERATURE SEALANT (Catalog No.
10K81) to the outside surface of both
collars of the adapter (be especially
careful to fill the grooves of the outer
collar to be covered by the flexible
pipe) and slide flexible pipe over

the way.
2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700
°F) high
temperature sealant - Catalog No. 10K81) to
the outer adapter collar; to the grooves of the
collar which extend approximately 1 inch from
the end and to the flat surface, approximately 13/8 inches from the end.
3. Pull and extend the outer flexible vent pipe.
4. Slide the outer flex pipe over the adapter
collar. Ensure the flexible vent pipe completely
engages the adapter collar to a distance of 1³⁄₄
inches from the end, and that it is free from
damage or tears.
5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten it
fully to secure the flexible vent to the adapter
outer collar approximately 3/4 inch from the
end of the flex.
6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart
through the flexible vent pipe and into the
adapter collar just below the gear clamp to
provide additional security to the connection.
C. Route Flex Vent -
Ensure that the flex vent is properly routed to
provide the required clearance. Do Not allow
the flexible vent to bend in a radius tighter than
5" (127 mm). Refer to
Figure 42
. Support
horizontal sections of flex with metal straps at
2 foot (0.61 m) intervals.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate
tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane resistant compounds are used in
propane applications).
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 (50% dish
soap, 50% water) 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. Never
use an open flame to check for leaks.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions label in the control compartment
or in the Homeowner's Care and Operation
Instructions).
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 gas control knob to the “OFF” position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking
connection and retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.
D. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
observe the individual tongues of flame 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.

Note: Lighting Instructions are also found on
the literature tag attached to the gas valve train.
When first 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 lightings of the
appliance will not require such purging. Inspect the pilot flame (remove logs, if necessary, handling carefully).

The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or
floating. Flame should be blue in color with
traces of orange at the outer edge. The top 3/8"
(10 mm) at the pilot generator (thermopile) and
the top 1/8" min (tip) of the quick drop out
thermocouple should be engulfed in the pilot
flame. The flame should project 1" (25 mm)
beyond the hood at all three ports (

Step 10. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Flame Appearance and sooting
Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste. Generally, most people prefer the warm glow of a yellow
to orange flame. Appliances operated with air shutter openings that are too large will exhibit flames that
are blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent flames are termed anemic. If the air
shutter opening is too small 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 yellow to orange flame with an
orange body that does not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted between these two extremes.
No smoke or soot should be present. Reposition the logs if flames impinge on any of them.
If the logs are properly positioned and sooting
conditions exist, the air shutter opening on
the main burner tube should be adjusted.
Normally, the more offsets in the vent system,
the greater the need for the air shutter to be
opened further.
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
Burner Adjustment
CAUTION: THE ADJUSTMENT ROD AND
NEARBY APPLIANCE SURFACES ARE HOT.
EXERCISE CAUTION TO AVOID INJURY WHILE
ADJUSTING FLAME APPEARANCE.
To adjust the flame, move the adjustment rod
(located in the lower control area) up or down
to increase or reduce the air shutter opening,
respectively. Initially, always position the air
shutter to the factory setting (the minimum
air opening position) as shown in
This can be done by pulling the adjustment
rod all the way down. 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
by pushing or pulling on the adjustment rod
until the flame appearance is as desired.

The adjustment rod and associated adjustable
air shutter is patented technology. Flame adjustments can be made quickly and accurately
to taste without the need of disassembling the
appliance and waiting for 30 minutes after
each adjustment.
Note: If the flame still appears anemic with
the air shutter closed all the way against the
stop (usually a result of lengthy vertical runs),
turn the appliance off, turn the gas supply off,
wait for the parts to cool, remove the glass
.
door and logs to access the air shutter. The
shutter is prevented from actually closing all
the way by an adjustment set screw (seeFigure 54). Remove this screw using a 1/4
inch nut driver. Reinstall the logs and glass
door, turn the gas back on and then restart the
appliance. After 30 minutes, reobserve the
flame. Adjust the air shutter as previously
described.
When satisfied that the appliance operates
properly, proceed to finish the installation.
Leave the control knob in the ON position and
the remote switch OFF. Close the lower control
compartment door.
Step 11. HOOD INSTALLATION
All of these appliances must have hoods
installed prior to operating.
On all clean face units, slide the hood into the
slots on the lower edge of the radiant panel
(Figure 55 ).
On louvered face units, slide the hood into the
slots on the lower edge of the cabinet top
(Figure 56 ).

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. In
cold climates, if the fireplace is being installed on a cement slab, a sheet of plywood or other raised
platform can be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room. It also helps to
sheetrock inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.
