IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ 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 CFM Corporation gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to 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 op
­tional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

When installing this unit against a non-in­sulated exterior wall or chase, it is manda­tory that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes.
CFM146
Mantels
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if fitted) and the fireplace.
For the correct mounting height and widths, refer to Figures 4a, 4b and the Mantel Chart below.
The distances and reference points are not affected by the fitting of a bay window front trim kit.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at any height and width around the appliance. When using paint or lacquer, it must be heat resistant to prevent discoloration.
20012322
Framing and Finishing
Check fireplace to make sure it is levelled and properly positioned.
To mount the appliance: Choose the location. (Fig. 5)
1. This unit comes with four (4) flanges pre-mounted on both sides of the fireplace to allow two different drywall thicknesses to be used. Flange “A” is for 1/2” drywall while flange “B“ is for 5/8” drywall.
2. Bend the desired flanges out 90° on both sides of the fireplace. Slide the fireplace into the framed opening until the flanges contact the front surfaces of the framing. Level the unit and secure it firmly in place.

Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution applied with a brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never apply soap and water solution with a spray bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.
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 that the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 6) See the gas specifica­tions for pressure details and ratings.
Remote ON/OFF Switch Installation
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch for this gas appliance into a 120v power supply.
1. Thread wire through the electrical knockout located on either side of the unit. Take care not to cut the wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure the wire is secured and protected from possible damage. Run one end of the gas control valve and the other end to the conveniently located wall switch.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install switch into receptacle box. Attach cover plate to switch.
3. Connect wiring to gas valve. (Fig. 7)

When using 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 joints of any telescopic vent section used in the system.
To join twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads of the male end with the grooves of the female end, twisting the pipe until the flange on the female end contacts 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. (Fig. 17)
To make it easier to assembly 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
TWL100
Horizontal dimension from the outside face of the
wall to the center of the fireplace vent flange
The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the following vent installation instructions to determine the relationship between the vertical and horizontal dimen­sions fo 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. 18), locate the point intersecting with the 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 unit 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’ (2.1m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6 m).

Rear Wall Vent Application
When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall behind the appliance.
• Only CFM Corporation venting components are approved to be used in these applications (See ‘Venting Components’ listed for different installation requirements).
• The maximum horizontal distance between the rear of the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a corner application) and the outside face of the rear wall is 20” (508 mm). (Fig. 19, 20)
• Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com­bustible materials are as follows:
Top - 2” (51 mm) Sides - 1” (25 mm) Bottom - 1” (25 mm)

Step 1
Locate and cut the vent opening in the wall. For combustible walls first frame in opening. (Fig. 21) NOTE: When using flex vent, the opening will have to
be measured according to the 1” (25mm) rise in 24” (610mm) vertical run.
Combustible Walls:
x 240 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as shown. (Fig. 21)
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening should be 7¹⁄₂ (191mm) diameter.
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for combustible walls.
Step 2
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length (Maximum 12” / 305 mm). As­semble sleeve to its maximum opening (10³⁄₈” x 9³₈”) and attach to firestop assembly. (Fig. 22)
Step 3
Measure the horizontal length requirement for the vent­ing including a 2” (51 mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow to the outside wall face plus 2” (51 mm). (Fig. 19, 20)

Step 4
Install the 4” (102 mm) vent to the appliance collar and secure with 3 sheet metal screws. Install the 7” (178 mm) vent pipe to the appliance collar and secure with 3 sheet metal screws. It is not necessary to seal this con­nection. If a 45° elbow is being used attach the elbow to the appliance in the same manner then attach the venting to the elbow.
It is critical that there is no downward slope away from the appliance when con­necting the vent or elbow.
Step 5
Guide the venting through the vent hole as you place the appliance in its installed position. Guide the 4” (102 mm) and 7” (178 mm) collar of the vent termina­tion into the outer ends of the venting. Do not force the termination. If the vent pipes do not align with the termination, remove and realign the venting at the appli­ance flue collars. (Fig. 23) Attach the termination to the wall as outlined in the instruction sheet supplied with the termination.
