IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the fireplace ON. It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine. It is not unusual 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 fireplace for at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certified without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370 m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the cur­rent ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes hav­ing jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local authorities having jurisdiction for installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m).
Gas Line Installation
When purging the gas lines, the front win­dow frame assembly must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the appliance as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the rear right side of the valve as this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned 3/8” copper tubing, 3/8” rigid pipe or an ap­proved flex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or the CSA-B149.1 installa­tion code.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.

FP297A
Fig. 7 Typical gas supply installation.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro­vide a 1/8” test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See gas specification for pres­sure details and ratings.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this and any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.
Remote ON/OFF Switch
Installation
1. Carefully unwrap the remote wire that is attached to the valve. There are two 1/2” (13 mm) knockouts, one on each side of the outer casing.
2. Remove the knockout desired and insert the plastic snap bushing on the remote wire in the 1/2” hole. Feed the remote wire through the outer casing.
3. Attach the wire to an ON/OFF switch and install the switch into the receptacle box. (Fig. 8)

Canadian Installations:
Venting system must be installed in accordance with the current CSA-B149.1 installation code.
USA Installations:
The venting system must conform with local codes and/ or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54.
Only venting components manufactured by MHSC can be used in Direct Vent systems.
Flex Vent Pipes
Before joining the flex vent pipe to the unit, apply a bead of high temperature sealant* (provided) to the 4” pipe exiting the fireplace. Secure flex vent pipe in place with a hose clamp (provided).
*Be sure the flex pipe overlaps at least 1” (25 mm) onto the collars of the fireplace and termination. If the ter­mination has an internal bead, be sure to overlap and secure 1” (25 mm) past the bead.

General Information Assembling Vent Pipes
* Be sure the vent is actually crushed before proceed­ing. Apply a tug to be sure the vent will not slip off the collars.
Repeat process with 7” flex vent pipe. The same proce­dure must be performed on the vent side.

Twist Lock Pipes
When using MHSC twist-lock pipe, it is not necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas of the venting system that need to be sealed with high temperature silicone sealant are the sliding joint of any telescopic vent section used in the system.
To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads of the male end with the grooves of the female end, then while bringing the pipe together, twist the pipe until the flange on the female end contacts the external flange on the male end. It is recommended that you secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws, however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe.
To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.

How to Use the Vent Graph
The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the following vent installation instructions to determine the relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 14) locate the point intersecting with slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the fireplace in accordance with same.
Example A: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the
fireplace is 11’ (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 14’ (4.3 m).
Example B: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is
7’ (2.14 m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6 m).
