INTRODUCTION

The Econo Plus 36DV-RV is rated at 16,000 BTUs. (4.16 Kilowatts)
for Natural & Propane gas.
The Econo Plus warranty will be voided by, and Econo Plus
disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:

- Modification of the fireplace and/or components including
Direct-Vent assembly or glass doors.

- Use of any component part not manufactured or approved by
Econo Plus in combination with a Econo Plus fireplace system.

- Installation other than as instructed in this manual.

Consult your local Gas Inspection Branch about the particular
requirements concerning installation of factory-built gas fireplaces.

Installation & repairs should be done by a qualified contractor,
and installation must conform with the current CAN/CGA
B-149.1 and .2 Gas Installation Code and local regulations.

INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE

The Econo Plus 36DV-RV clearances to combustible materials are
0" back, 1" sides, 0" floor and 4" top. The Econo Plus 36DV-RV must
not be installed any closer than 8 inches to any unprotected
combustible wall perpendicular to the fireplace opening.

For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that
the outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This
will reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the
fireplace.

THE FRAMING DIMENSIONS ARE SHOWN BELOW:

CAUTIONS

* Due to its high operating temperatures, the appliance should be

located out of traffic & away from furniture and draperies.

* Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the high

surface temperature, which could cause burns or clothing ignition.

* Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in

the same room as the appliance.

* Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed on

or near the appliance.

SELECTING YOUR FIREPLACE LOCATION

The fireplace may be installed in any location that is free of air
condition ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as
efficiency of operation, must be considered when selecting the
fireplace location. Try to select a location that does not interfere
with room traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible
pathway for Direct Vent & Combustion Air Kit installation.

The fireplace dimensions are shown below:

INSTALLING THE GAS LINE

The gas line must be installed before finishing the Econo Plus
36DV-RV Fireplace. Natural Gas requires an inlet pressure of
7" W.C. & a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C. Propane Gas
requires an inlet pressure of 11" W.C. & a manifold pressure of

10.5" W.C. It is also required that provisions be made for a

1/8" N.P.T. plugged tapping and be accessable for test gauge
connection immediately upstream of the gas supply controls to
the appliance. The fireplace gas connection and the main
operating gas valve is located behind the removable brass trim
at the bottom of the unit and need only be attached to the gas line
with an approved fitting, as required by the CAN/CGA B-149.1

and .2 Gas Installation Code.

CAUTIONS

*After gas line is connected, it is a CAN/CGA B149.1 & .2. code

requirement (Section 8.25.3 (e)) that "each appliance connection,
valve, valve train, shall be checked while under normal operating
pressure with either a liquid solution, or leak detection device, to
locate any source of leak." Tighten any areas where bubbling
appears or leak is detected until bubbling stops completely or leak
is no longer detected. Do NOT use a flame of any kind to test for
leaks

FOR DETAILED SKETCH OF ALLOWED

TERMINATION LOCATIONS SEE APPENDIX A

FOR VINYL SIDING APPLICATIONS ALL ETK
TERMINATIONS MUST BE INSTALLED WITH A
HEAT SHIELD (MTKG) TO PROTECT THE SIDING
FROM ANY HEAT DAMAGE. ETKO TERMINATIONS
DO NOT REQUIRE A HEAT SHIELD.

IMPORTANT:

When using ETK or ETKO with
MOSR: Framed opening must be

12" X 12"
When using ETK or ETKO:

*

Framed opening must be 11" X 11"

VENT TERMINATION LOCATION

Refer to the section on selecting a fireplace location to determine
where your Econo Plus 36DV-RV will be installed.

Next, determine the vent terminal location. (see appendix A) for
allowed areas. The outlet must be framed with an 12" x 12" inside
dimension (see Figure 4).

VENT TERMINATIONS SHALL NOT BE RECESSED IN
WALLS OR SIDING.

CAUTION

1). Extremly important: In heavy snow areas take extra care to

prevent against blocking vent termination with snow removal
equipment.

2). Flue gases exiting vent terminals are very hot and must not be

restricted to assure fireplace combustion is not affected.

3).Do not place, build any obstruction, plant any bushes or for any

reason attempt to conceal the vent termination. To do so will
affect the operation of the fireplaceand may be hazardous.

4). Do not recess vent terminals into walls or siding.

5). Terminals with components which exceed 180 F+ ambient

while under continuous operation are required by National
Standards to be protected with an additional screen on patio's,
decks and any areas accessible to public. For maximum safety
we recommend all terminals below 7' from grade level be
installed with a certified Econo Plus Heat Guard.

ETK-5 or ETK-9 ETKO-5 or ETKO-9

INSTALLING DIRECT VENT

Note: DO NOT STRETCH flexible connectors to gain
extra length. These connectors are flexible only to allow
for directional changes, which must not exceed 90
degrees.

All vent pipes must maintain a minimum of 1"
clearance to combustible materials.

Note: It is imperative for satisfactory operation of the
Econo Plus 36DV-RV fireplace that no venting component
be modified in any way. All components have been
manufactured to eliminate the need for modification when
properly selected and installed.
