3.0 INSTALLATION

RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE.

Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning appliance. Make sure that the chimney and wood-burning
appliance are in a clean and sound condition and constructed of non-combustible materials. If necessary have
any repair work done by a qualifi ed person before installing the insert. Remove the existing appliance damper
or lock into an open position.

Using screws, attach the appliance warning tag
to the inside of the fi rebox of the appliance into
which the insert is being installed.

The sheet-metal parts of the appliance, in which
the gas appliance insert is to be installed, must
not be cut.

If the wood-burning factory-built appliance has
no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch or less may be drilled through the lower sides or
bottom of the appliance in a proper workman like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combus­tible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.

Ensure that existing chimney cleanouts fi t properly .
The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates may be removed from the existing appli-

ance before installing the gas appliance insert.
Smoke shelves, shields and baffl es may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners.
The ventilation openings in the existing appliance may be obstructed by the backer plates, aluminium trim etc.

but these parts are not to be applied so as to have an airtight seal.

3.1 LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE

Move the appliance close to its fi nal position inside the wood-burning appliance. This appliance is equipped
with 4 levelling screws located in the four inside corners beneath the log support. Level using the levelling
screws to eliminate rocking or excessive noise when the fan is in operation. Once the appliance is level, move
it partially into place within the appliance to allow for all connections to be made. It is not practical to level the
appliance once it has been installed. Determine the required depth prior to installing the appliance and adjust
the four levelling screws accordingly.

3.2 CHIMNEY CONNECTION

Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code requirements. The chimney must be lined
with one 2" or 3" diameter liner for intake and one 3" diameter liner for exhaust. The minimum and maximum
vent lengths are 10 and 35 feet respectively. Recommended kits come in 3 lengths:

1-2" & 1-3" DOUBLE PLY ALUMINUM LINER-INLET AND EXHAUST & 2-3" TO 2" REDUCER:

While the liners must be continuous from the appliance to the chimney cap, to
achieve the needed length, they may be coupled, using an approved coupler.
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through unheated spaces,
such as tall exterior chimneys, be wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize
condensation and reverse fl ow symptoms. See Trouble Shooting for details.
This appliance is approved for use with a 2" liner for air intake and a 3" liner
for exhaust. For best performance, however, it is recommended to use two 3"
liners.
If a 2" liner is used for the intake, it may be necessary to adjust the primary air
shutter.

4.5 OPTIONAL CHARCOAL EMBERS

Randomly place the charcoal embers along the front and sides of the log support tray in a realistic manner.

Fine dust found in the bottom of the bag should not be used.
NOTE: Charcoal embers are not to be placed on the burner.

4.6 GLOWING EMBERS

Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row of ports covering all of the burner area in front of
the small logs. Care should be taken to shred the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed
edges of the fi bre hairs will glow. The ember material will only glow when exposed to direct fl ame; how-

ever, care should be taken to not block the burner ports.

Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect fl ame pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM
logs glow when exposed to direct fl ame. Use only certifi ed "glowing embers" and PHAZERTM logs available
from your authorized dealer / distributor.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.

USE ONLY WOLF STEEL APPROVED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH

THIS APPLIANCE. USING NON-LISTED ACCESSORIES (BLOWERS, DOORS, LOUVRES, TRIMS, GAS

COMPONENTS, VENTING COMPONENTS, ETC.) COULD RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL

VOID THE WARRANTY AND CERTIFICATION.

ENSURE THAT THE FAN’S POWER CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE OF THE

APPLIANCE TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE POWER

CORD BENEATH THE APPLIANCE.

THE WIRE HARNESS PROVIDED IN THE BLOWER KIT IS A UNIVERSAL HARNESS. WHEN

INSTALLED, ENSURE THAT ANY EXCESS WIRE IS CONTAINED, PREVENTING IT FROM MAKING

CONTACT WITH MOVING OR HOT OBJECTS.

E. Disconnect the two blower wires. Remove the blower

from the mounting plate and replace. For thermal
switch replacement: Remove the mounting bracket
secured to the underside of the burner base. Remove
the thermal switch from the bracket and replace.

F. Reconnect the two wires. Re-install the blower

gasket. Reattach the blower mounting plate and
blower access covers. Replace the logs. Close the
fi re viewing door.

G. Turn the gas supply and electricity back on. Because

the blower is thermally activated, when turned
on, it will automatically start approximately 5-15
minutes after lighting the appliance and will
run for approximately 30-45 minutes after the
appliance has been turned off. Use of the fan
increases the output of heat.

Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower

bearings causing irreparable damage and
must be prevented from coming into contact
with the blower or its compartment. Any
damage resulting from this condition is not
covered by the warranty policy.

WARNING

IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT

CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RUN OUT WITH

THE GLASS DOOR OPENED OR REMOVED.

Ensure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before installing the door. When lit for the first time, the appliance will
emit an odor for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in
the manufacturing process and will not occur again.

fter extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a
slight odor for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In both cases, open a
window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:

A. This appliance is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the appliance area for gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier than

air and will settle on the floor.

This appliance has an air shutter that has been factory set open according
to the chart below:

Regardless of venturi orientation, closing the air shutter will cause a more
yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a
more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The
flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the
final flame colour to be established.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED
INSTALLER!
