GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE INSERT SHOULD BE INSTALLED
AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform
with local codes. Installation practices vary from region to
region and it is important to know the specifi cs that apply
to your area,
for example: in Massachusetts State:
• The fi replace damper must be removed or welded in the open
position prior to installation of a fi replace insert or gas log.
• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or
bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion
product.
• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fi tter when installed within the commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United
States. Mobile home installation must conform with local
codes. In the absence of local codes, install to the current
standard for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240
MH Series in Canada or the manufactured home construction and safety standard, Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or the
Fire Safety Criteria for manufactured home installations,
Sites and Community Standard ANSI/NFPA 501A in the
United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fi replace insert
opened. Assure that a continuous gas fl ow is at the burner
before closing the door.
Under extreme vent confi gurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the fl ame to stabilize after ignition.
The fi replace insert and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The fi replace insert must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the fi replace insert.
The fireplace insert must be electrically connected and
grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of
local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States. The blower
power cord must be connected into a properly grounded
receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from
the cord plug.
