dlers, 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

• 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 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.

3.0 VENTING - MODEL GDS60

!

WARNING

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.

Refer to the section applicable to your installation.

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.

A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two sin­gle family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

7.1

Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight.
A 1-1/4" air gap all around between the inner liner and outer appliance pipe is required for safe opera­tion. Use a fi restop when penetrating interior walls, fl oor or ceiling.

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting compo­nents. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal loca­tions for either systems are set out in this manual and must be adhered to.

W415-0788 / A / 09.22.09

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:

PART 4”/7” SUPPLIER WEBSITE

Duravent GDS924N Wolf Steel www.duravent.com

Amerivent 4DSC-N2 American Metal www.americanmetalproducts.com

Direct Temp 4DT-AAN Selkirk www.selkirkcorp.com

SuperSeal 4DNA Metal-Fab www.mtlfab.com

* 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 GD110, 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.
