WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions will void the warranty.

NOTICE

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Consult local building codes before beginning the installation. The installer must make sure to select the proper vent system for installation. Before installing vent kit, the installer must read this fireplace manual and vent kit instructions.

Only a qualified installer/service person should install venting system. The installer must follow these safety rules:

• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.

• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on rooftops.

• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings.

The following actions will void the warranty on your venting system:

• Installation of any damaged venting component.

• Unauthorized modification of the venting system.

• Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by MHS.

• Installation other than permitted by these instructions.

This ﬁ replace must be vented to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not use common vent systems.

WARNING

VENT INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:

• Horizontal Termination

• Vertical Termination

It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness.

FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION

Select the amount of vertical rise desired. All horizontal run of venting must have termination.

You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent configuration. See Horizontal Termination Configurations on pages 17 and

18.

FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION

Measure the distance from the fireplace floor to the ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the roof line.

NOTE: You may use two 45° elbows in place of a 90° elbow . Y ou must follow rise to run ratios when using 45° elbows. The appliance is approved for use with three 90° elbows maximum or a combination of 90° and 45° elbows up to a maximum of 270°.

For two-story applications, firestops are required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe and elbows will be required.

You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house. See Installing Vent System in a Chase below. If pipe is enclosed in chase, it is not exposed.

It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent configurations and must be strictly followed.

INSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN OUTSIDE CHASE

/4" rise for every 12" of run towards the

Never run the vent pipe level or downward. This may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a ﬁ re.

WARNING

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase is required for such venting.

Treatment of ﬁ restops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. You must follow all local building codes.

NOTICE

When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Insulation should be considered a combustible material. Maintain proper clearances to all combustible materials.

HOW TO USE THE VENT GRAPH

The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the following vent installation instructions to determine the relationship between 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 below, 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: If the vertical dimension from the ﬂ oor of the

ﬁ replace is 11' (3.4m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 14' (4.3m).

Example: If the vertical dimension from the ﬂ oor of the unit

is 7’ (2.14m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 8

VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATIONS

Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.

The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable. See Figure 10.

NOTE: Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" clearances to combustibles at the top of the ﬂ ue and 1" clearance at the sides and bottom until the ﬂ ue penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1" clearance all around the ﬂ ue is acceptable at this point of penetration.

Vertical sections of this vent system require a minimum of 1" clearance to combustibles on all sides of the pipe.

When vent exits through foundations less than 20" below outcrop, the termination must be flush up with outcropped wall above.

It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.

The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace (or the top of the Transition Elbow) to the face of the finished outside wall.

• The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall installation is three (3). See Figure 11.

• A minimum of 12" is required before a 90° elbow. If a 90° elbow is fitted directly after 12" vertical section mounted to

the top of the fireplace, the maximum horizontal vent run before the termination or a vertical rise is 24” (914 mm). See

VENT INSTALLATION

VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATIONS (continued)

• If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level height maintained) the horizontal vent length is reduced by 36". See Figures 11 and 12, page 17. This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise.

See Figure 14.

Example: According to the vent graph (page 16) the maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 10' vertical rise is 20’ (6m) and if a 90° elbow is required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17' (5.2 m).

In Figures 13 and 14 dimension A plus B must not be greater than 17' (5.2m).

• The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.

• For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18" (45cm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system.

• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system is 270°.

VENT INSTALLATION

BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS

When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level. The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.

Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area.

If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24" vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24” vertical pipe is 36". This measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24".

1. Establish vent hole through the wall.

2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16" below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well (not supplied). Refill hole with 12" of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approximately 4" below snorkel. See Figure 16.

3. Install vent system.

4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe coming through the wall.

5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied) around the 4" and 7" snorkel collars.

6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the wall.

7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4" clearance below snorkel. See Figure 16.

• Do not back ﬁ ll around snorkel.

• A clearance of at least 4" must be maintained between the snorkel and the soil.

WARNING

If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not supplied) for securing lower portion of the snorkel. Fasten brackets to wall first, then secure to snorkel with self drilling #8x1/2 sheet metal screws. It will be necessary to extend vent pipes out as far as the protruding wall face. See Figure 17.

Vertical sections of this vent system require a minimum of 1" clearance to combustibles on all sides of the pipe.

• Up to two 45° elbows may be used within the horizontal run. For each 45° elbow used on the horizontal plane, the maximum horizontal length must be reduced by 18" (450mm).

Example: Maximum horizontal length No elbows = 10’ (3m)

1x45° elbows = 8.5’ (2.6m) 2x45° elbows = 7’ (2.1m)

• A minimum of an 8' (2.5m) vertical rise is required.

• Two sets of 45°elbows offsets may be used within the vertical sections. From 0 to a maximum of 8' (2.5 m) of vent pipe can be used between elbows. See Figure 19.

• The maximum angular variation allowed in the system is 270°. See Figure 19.

• The minimum height of the vent above the highest point of penetration through the roof is 2' (610mm).

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION

1. Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joist, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset. See Figure 20 to avoid cutting load bearing members.

VENT INSTALLATION

Roof

Flashing

For optimal flame appearance, a restrictor disk is necessary on straight vertical runs of 20' of more.

• Runs may not incorporate elbows.

• The disk is part number 45D0551 and is included in installation manual packet.

• Drop the disk into a 4" inner collar before installing the first section of flue or install at the last section before installing the termination.

• An additional disk may be installed on runs of 35' or more. Rotate disks perpendicular to each other.

NOTE: Pay special attention to these installation instructions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any maximum horizontal offset limitations. Offsets must fall within the parameters shown in Figures 19 and 20, page 20.

2. Set fireplace in desired location. Drop a line plumb down from the ceiling to the position of the flue exit. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating hole a this point.

1. Cut a 9

/2" (241mm) square hole in the ceiling using the locating

hole as a center point The opening should be framed to 91/2"x91/2"

(241mm x 241mm) inside dimensions as shown in Figure 22 using framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joist. If the area above the ceiling is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail firestop from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance space. See Figure 21. Otherwise, install firestop below the framed hole. See Figure 22.

2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the burner system flue up through the firestop. Be sure pipe and elbow connections are fully twist-locked.

VENT INSTALLATION

3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole

in roof). The 91/2"x9

" (241mm x 241mm) hole must be measured on the horizontal. Actual length may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" minimum clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. (Insulation should be considered a combustible material).

4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.

NOTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet. Use wall straps for this purpose. See Figure 18, page 19. Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the ﬂ ow of the ﬂ ue gases and intake air.

5. Place the flashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof and framing with roofing nails. Be sure roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials.

6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements.

NOTE: You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent height may solve this problem.

NOTE: If the vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above the ﬁ rst ﬂ oor, including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure to meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not ﬁ ll any of the required clearance spaces with insulation.

Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. Make sure the burner porting, pilot air opening and burner air opening are free of obstructions at all times.

Thermocouple

PILOT FLAME

The flames from the pilot should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed and periodically during normal operation. The pilot flame must always be present when the fireplace is in operation. See Figure 36. The pilot flame has three distinct flames, one engulfing the thermopile, one engulfing the thermocouple, and the other reaching to the main burner.

Thermopile

BURNER

Inspect area around the injector. Remove any lint or foreign material with a brush or vacuum.

BURNER FLAME

The flames from the burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed and periodically during normal operation. In normal operation, at full rate, and after operating for about 15 to 30 minutes, the flame should be yellow and slightly taller than the rear log.

See Figure 37.

If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit and let cool. After unit is cool, remove logs and check to make sure the back holes in the burner are not covered with rock wool. If the back holes are clear, add more rock wool to the center of the burner. Replace logs.

NOTE: The type of installation, vent system conﬁ guration, and wind effects may cause the ﬂ ame patterns to vary.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

VENT SYSTEM

The fireplace and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified field service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering with the airflow. Inspect entire venting system to ensure proper function.

GLASS DOOR

Thoroughly clean the inside of the glass door after using the fireplace for ten hours. Periodically clean the glass door as necessary.

When cleaning the glass, remember:

• Do not remove the glass when hot. Allow glass to cool before removal.

• NEVER use abrasive materials.

• Keep children and pets a safe distance away.

• Never operate the fireplace without the glass door properly secured.

• Never operate the fireplace if the glass is broken.

• Replace any glass that is chipped, cracked, or broken. Replacement glass door assemblies MUST be supplied by the

fireplace manufacturer – No substitute materials may be used.

• Handle glass door with care to avoid striking or scratching it on hard objects.

To clean glass door, follow “Glass Removal” procedure outlined in the Final Installation section. Film deposit on the inside of the glass should be cleaned off using a nontoxic, non-corrosive, non-abrasive, mild-cleaning solution. Simply apply an adequate amount to the glass and wipe off with a damp cloth. After all maintenance has been completed, re-install glass door.

LOGS

Leave logs installed in the fireplace for cleaning. Vacuum surface of the logs with a brush attachment. If logs must be removed for cleaning, handle carefully by holding gently at each end. Gloves are recommended to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. If skin becomes irritated, wash gently with soap and water. Vacuum surface of logs with brush attachment or brush logs with a soft bristle brush (i.e. clean, dry paintbrush). To place logs back in the fireplace, see “Log Placement” found in the Final Installation section.

NOTE: Do not use ﬂ uids to clean ceramic ﬁ ber logs.

ROCK WOOL

Replace or add rock wool as required following installation instructions in the Final Installation section of this manual.

D. No Propane/LPG in tank

A. Defective thermocouple

B. Defective valve

A. Defective switch, wall

switch, remote control or wire

B. Pilot flame too small

C. Defective or malfunction-

ing thermopile

D. Defective valve

A. Open door and check to make sure wire is connected to ignitor. B. Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode

wire is properly connected, replace pilot assembly.

C. Check remote/manual shut off valve from fireplace. Low pres-

sure can be caused by bent lines, restricted lines, low pressure line pressure. Consult with plumber or gas supplier.

D. Check Propane/LPG tank. Refill tank.

A. Check that thermocouple flame impinges on thermocouple.

Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement. Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight.

Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt

lead wire on the tip of the thermocouple and the other meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less than 15 mV, replace pilot assembly.

B. If thermocouple is producing more than 15 mV, replace faulty

valve.

A. Check switch and wire for proper connection. Place jumper

wires across terminals of switch. If burner comes on, replace defective switch.If the switch is OK, repeat the same procedure on remote control If burner comes on, replace remote control.

Place jumper wire across wire at gas valves (terminals marked

TH and TP/TH). If burner comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad. Replace wire.

B. If pilot flame is not close enough to the thermopile, adjust pilot

flame.

C. Check thermopile wire connections to make sure all are tight

and that the thermopile is fully inserted into pilot assembly. Check thermopile with a millivolt meter. Connect leads to TP and TP/TH terminals on the control valve. If meter reading is below 325 mV, replace pilot assembly.

D. Turn valve knob to “On” and switch to “ON.” Take a reading at

the thermopile leads (TP & TP/TH) on the valve. If the meter reads greater than 175 mV and the burner does not light, replace defective valve.
