WARNING

• THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHEN OPERATED AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF CONTACTED.

• ANY CHANGES OR ALTERATIONS TO THIS APPLIANCE OR ITS CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS
AND IS PROHIBITED.

• Do not operate appliance before reading and understanding operating instructions. Failure to operate
appliance according to operating instructions could cause fi re or injury.

• Risk of fi re or asphyxiation do not operate appliance with fi xed glass removed.

• Do not connect 110 volts to the control valve.

• Risk of burns. The appliance should be turned off and cooled before servicing.

• Do not install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.

• Risk of cuts and abrasions. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges
may be sharp.

• Do not burn wood or other materials in this appliance.

• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and should stay away to

avoid burns or clothing ignition.

• Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,

young children and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recommended
if there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access to an appliance, install an adjustable safety gate
to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.

• Clothing or other fl ammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.

• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffi c and away from furniture and draperies.

• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measure to protect infants/toddlers from touching hot surfaces.

• Even after the appliance is out, the glass and/or screen will remain hot for an extended period of time.

• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children from hot
surfaces. These screens and guards must be fastened to the fl oor.

• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

• The appliance is a vented gas-fi red appliance. Do not burn wood or other materials in the appliance

• It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the
appliance and venting system are kept clean. The appliance and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualifi ed service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. The appliance area must be kept clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other fl ammable vapors and liquids.

• Under no circumstances should this appliance be modifi ed.

• This appliance must not be connected to a chimney fl ue pipe serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.

• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under
water.

• Do not operate the appliance with the glass door removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass
should be done by a licensed or qualifi ed service person.

• Do not strike or slam shut the appliance glass door.

• When equipped with pressure relief doors, they must be kept closed while the appliance is operating to
prevent exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide, from entering into the home. Temperatures of the exhaust
escaping through these openings can also cause the surrounding combustible materials to overheat and catch
fi re.

• Only doors / optional fronts certifi ed with the appliance are to be installed on the appliance.

• Keep the packaging material out of reach of children and dispose of the material in a safe manner. As with all
plastic bags, these are not toys and should be kept away from children and infants.

• As with any combustion appliance, we recommend having your appliance regularly inspected and serviced as
well as having a Carbon Monoxide Detector installed in the same area to defend you and your family against
Carbon Monoxide.

• Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a mantel or shelves above the appliance.
Elevated temperatures on the wall or in the air above the appliance can cause melting, discolouration or
damage of decorations, a T.V. or other electronic components.

WARNING

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.

WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN CONVERTED FOR USE WITH A GAS FIREPLACE

INSERT ONLY AND CANNOT BE USED FOR BURNING WOOD OR SOLID FUELS UNLESS ALL ORIGINAL

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.

PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE FIREPLACE IS RE-APPROVED BY THE AUTHORITY HAVING
JURISDICTION.

W385-0199_B

If the wood-burning factory-built appliance has
no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch (38.1mm) 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

appliance 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.

68.4B

3.1 LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE

Move the appliance close to its fi nal position. This appliance is equipped with levelling screws located on the
base. Level using the levelling screws. Levelling the appliance will eliminate rocking or excessive noise when
the fan is in operation. Once the appliance is level, move it partially into place 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 levelling screws accordingly.

67.2

W415-1194 / 03.04.13

3.2 CHIMNEY CONNECTION

Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code requirements. The chimney must be lined
with one 3" (76.2mm) diameter liner for intake and one 3" (76.2mm) diameter liner for exhaust. The minimum
and maximum vent lengths are 10 feet (3.1m) and 35 feet (10.7m) respectively.
Recommended kits come in 3 lengths:

2-3" DOUBLE PLY ALUMINUM LINER-INLET AND EXHAUST:

GDI-320KT VENT KIT 20FT (6.1m)

GDI-325KT VENT KIT 25 FT (7.6m)

GDI-335KT VENT KIT 35 FT (10.7m)

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
and sealant.
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 3" (76.2mm) exhaust and air intake.

A. OUTSIDE: Slip the one end of a liner a minimum of 2" (50.8mm)

over the sleeve of the air terminal. Secure using 3 screws. Then
seal the joint and screw heads with high temperature sealant. Repeat with the other liner.

valve to turn off the gas supply to the appliance.

• Connect the gas supply in accordance to local codes. In the absence of local codes, install to the
current CAN/CSA-B149.1 Installation Code in Canada or to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 / NFPA 54 in the United States.

• When fl exing any gas line, support the gas valve so that the lines are not bent or kinked.
