General Information

This appliance is tested and listed by Miarnock

Fiersey to ANSI 221 .50b 1990 and applicable sections of

AVSI 221.44 1995

as

a direct vent gas appliance.

Installation must conform to local codes

in thc absence of
local codes, installation must conform with the current
National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI

Z223.1-Latest.

This appliance when installed, must be

electricaliy con­nected and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code.

ANSIINFPA No. 70-Latest.

This appliance

is

equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not

cut or remove the grounding prong

from the plug.
This unit is equipped with the

MARC0 Common Module,
which contains ail the central wiring, as well as the criti­cal components for this

unit's operation. The Common
Module may be removed for individual component servic­ing.

Provide adequate clearances around the air openings info

the combustion chamber and adequate accessibility

clear­ancc for sewice and proper operation. Never obstruct the
front opening of the appliance.

Minimum clearances to combustibles are: Top of spacer,

0":

Sides,

0";

Venting system is supplied by

Marco.
Minimum inlet gas pressure is 4.5 inches water column of

natural gas, and

11.0

inches for propane, for the purpose

of input adjustment.
Maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 10.0 inches water

column for natural gas and

13.0

inches for propane.

A

N.P.T plugged tapping is provided on the gas con­trol along the side of the outlet to the burner for a test
gauge connection.

Depending on the model and options you purchased, all of
the major subsystems (igniter control transformer, remote
control and speed control) are mounted on what is known
as the Electronic Service Module

(ESM). It is physically
located under the combustion chamber, behind the bottom
panel. All of the electrical components either plug into or
are mounted in the (ESM).

The appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue

'l'hc appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be dis­connected from the gas supply piping during any pressure
testing of that pipe system at test pressures in excess of

elevation.

However, as the calorific value of

gas

may be different
from one region to another due to the difference in alti­tude, you must check with your local gas supplier to deter­mine the corresponding orifice sizes then call

Marco Mfg.,

for replacement ofices.

Selecting Your

Fireplace Location

The fireplace location selected must allow the appliance to
be installed with the necessary clearances. Do not place the
fireplace on soft-surfaced floor coverings such as carpeting.
The mounting surface must be flat and hard (such as ply­wood, wood flooring, particle board or any other hard sur­faced material), and

evenly support the total base of the
fireplace. A raised platform may be used to support the tire­place, at test pressures equal to or less than

1/2

psig (3.5
KPa). When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting,
tile or any other combustible material other than wood
flooring the appliance must he installed

on a metaL or

wood panel that is the full width and depth of the appliance.

Telescopic Pipe

Section

The Telescopic Pipe section

(P/N

493549) is designed to

be

infiniteiy adjustable from

17"

to

24",

and should be

used when a

specific offset, or length,

is

required that can­not be achieved easily with the standard straight pipe
lengths. Refer to Figure

12.

After the connections are made, wrap the end of the tele­scopic pipe section with aluminum tape to prevent
entrance of outside air into the room.

t'irestop Spacers are required ar each point where thc
chimney penetrates a floor or cciiing joist space. Their
purpose is hvofoid: they establish and maintain the

required

clearmce behveen the chimney and combustible
materials, and they provide separation from one floor to
another floor or attic space. They are

not

intended to halt
a fire that's already established. It is not necessary to seal
any gaps between the

firestop spacer and the vent pipes or
joists. If the pipe passes through a framed opening
between floors, install a Erestop spacer to the bottom of
the joists. When the pipe passes into the attic space, install
the

firestop spacer on top of the joists and secure with

sheet metal screws or nails. Refer to Figure
