• 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.
• 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 or stove,
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.
• 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.
• This appliance uses and requires a fast acting thermocouple. Replace only with a fast acting
thermocouple supplied by Wolf Steel Ltd.
• Pressure relief doors 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 unit 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 can cause melting, deformation, discolouration or premature failure of
T.V. or other electronic components.

s long as the required clearance to combustibles is
maintained, the most desirable and benefi cial location for an appliance is in the center of a building, thereby
allowing the most effi cient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the
room where the appliance is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location
where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a fl oor or roof joist.
If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood
fl ooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in
accordance with local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/
NFPA 70 National Electrical code in the United States.

RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE.
IF VENTING IS INCLUDED WITH SPACERS THE VENT SYSTEM MUST BE SUPPORTED EVERY 3 FEET
FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. USE SUPPORTS OR EQUIVALENT
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FROM
COMBUSTIBLES. USE WOLF STEEL LTD. SUPPORT RING ASSEMBLY W010-0370 OR EQUIVALENT
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. SPACERS ARE ATTACHED TO THE INNER PIPE AT
PREDETERMINED INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN AIR GAP TO THE OUTER PIPE. THIS GAP IS
REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION. A SPACER IS REQUIRED AT THE START, MIDDLE AND END OF
EACH ELBOW TO ENSURE THIS GAP IS MAINTAINED. THESE SPACERS MUST NOT BE REMOVED.
THIS APPLIANCE USES A 4” EXHAUST / 7” AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE SYSTEM.
For safe and proper operation of the appliance follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the
minimum vertical vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme vent
confi gurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the fl ame to stabilize after ignition. Vent lengths that pass
through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in
a protective sleeve to minimize condensation. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to
the appliance after the appliance is installed. Use a fi restop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when
penetrating interior walls, fl oor or ceiling.
NOTE: If for any reason the vent air intake system is disassembled; reinstall per the instructions
provided for the initial installation.
!
WARNING
Refer to the section applicable to your installation.

3.1 VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Metal-Fab venting
components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal
locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk
Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the installation procedure provided with the venting
components.
A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding
supplier:
* For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the
installation procedure found on the website for your venting supplier.
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust fl ue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a
red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant may be used on both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent
pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the appliance fl ue collar
which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel termination kits: wall terminal kit GD175
(7/12’ of venting included), or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD1 10, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal kit GD111, fl at
roof terminal kit GD112 or periscope kit GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunction with the appropriate
venting components.
For optimum fl ame appearance and appliance operation, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum. It is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot. The air terminal must
remain unobstructed at all times. Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify that it is unobstructed
and undamaged. Rigid and fl exible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting manufacturers
components must not be combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable horizontal run
is 20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of vent connections is two
horizontally or three vertically (excluding the appliance and the air terminal connections) when using fl exible venting.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the fi nal length of rigid piping to the stove for ease of installation.

4.2.2 VERTICAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor. See
accessories to order specifi c kits required.
A. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a square opening as
illustrated in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1“ clearance
between the vent pipe and any combustible material. Try to center the vent
pipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use
a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. A vent pipe shield will
prevent any materials such as insulation, from fi lling up the 1” air space
around the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.
B. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the Wolf
Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a fi nished ceiling),
and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A fi restop must be placed on the
bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the venting system passes
through. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a fi restop spacer over
the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the
fi replace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to
combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant
between the pipe and the fi restop assembly.
C. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open end of the shield and tighten.
This will prevent any materials, such as insulation, from fi lling up the 1” air space around the
pipe.

6.1 OPERATING/LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner on models GDS28 and GS28.
When lit for the fi rst time, the appliance will emit a slight odour 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. Simply open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as
following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is
caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. This fi replace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit
by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the fi replace area for
gas and next to the fl oor because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the fl oor.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob /
manual shut-off knob. Never use tools. If the knob will
not turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualifi ed
service technician. Force or attempted repair may

7.0 ADJUSTMENT
7.1 PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized fl ame. Turn in a clockwise
direction to reduce the gas fl ow.
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counterclockwise until loosened and then placing pressure gauge
tubing over the test point. Gauge should read 7” (minimum 4.5”)
water column for natural gas or 13” (11” minimum) water column for
propane. Check that main burner is operating on “HI”.
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B).
Gauge should read 3.5” water column for natural gas or 10” water column
for propane. Check that main burner is operating on “HI”.
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, TIGHTEN SCREWS
FIRMLY TO SEAL. DO NOT OVER TORQUE. LEAK TEST.

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 color to be established.

Vertical installations may display a very active fl ame. If this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be
restricted using the restrictor vent kit, GDSRP-KT. This will reduce the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing
down the fl ame pattern and creating a more traditional gentle appearance. Specifi c instructions are included
with the kit.
