WARNING
• Do not burn wood or other materials in this fi replace.
• Adults and especially children should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Supervise young children when they are in the same room as the fi replace.
• Clothing or other fl ammable material should not be placed on or near the fi replace.
• Due to high temperatures, the fi replace 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 fi replace 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 fi replace.
• It is imperative that the control compartment and burner in the fi replace and venting system are kept clean. The fi replace 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 fi replace area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other fl ammable
vapours and liquids.
• Under no circumstances should this fi replace be modifi ed.
• This fi replace must not be connected to a chimney fl ue pipe serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
• Do not use this fi replace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the fi replace and to replace any
part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
• Do not operate the fi replace 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 fi replace glass door.
• The glass door must be kept closed while the fi replace is operating to prevent exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide, from entering into the
home. Temperatures of the exhaust escaping through this opening 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.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE 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.
• A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fi red appliances.
• 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 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN/CGA -B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States. Suitable for mobile home installation if installed in accordance with
the current standard CAN/CSA Z240MH Series, for gas equipped mobile homes, in Canada or ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54
in the United States.
The fi replace 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 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).
When the fi replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other
combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the fi replace shall be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.

VENTING
VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
The vent connection to the fi replace can be viewed by removing the baffl e from the top, inside of the fi rebox.
Use only Wolf Steel 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. Use only Wolf Steel Ltd.
fl exible vent components with the Wolf Steel Ltd. GD179 termination kit. This fi replace uses a 3” exhaust and a 5”
instake diameter coaxil vent system.
All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be sealed using Red RTV and/or Mill Pac high temperature sealant (not
supplied) hereafter referred to as high temperature sealant W573-0002 (Red RTV) and the high temperature sealant W5730007 (Mill Pac).
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 fi replace fl ue collar which must be sealed
using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the GD178 wall terminal kit, use either the 5 foot vent kit GDT5 or the 10 foot vent
kit GDT10. These kits allow for extended horizontal venting of the fi replace.
When using approved Wolf Steel venting components, use only the following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD178,
or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GDT110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GDT111, FLAT ROOF
TERMINAL KIT GDT112.
Rigid and fl exible venting systems must not be combined. Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting systems must not
be combined.
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.
For optimum fl ame appearance and fi replace performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
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.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the fi replace.
Never obstruct the front opening of the fi replace.

VENT INSTALLATIONS
For safe and proper operation of the fi replace follow the venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum or the maximum 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 fi replace after the fi replace is installed.
Use fi restop spacer (W500-0358) when penetrating interior walls and ceilings.
HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS
A minimum clearance of 1" at the bottom, sides and top of the vent pipe in all horizontal runs to combustibles is
required. Use fi restop spacer W500-0358 (supplied).
VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS
A minimum of 1" all around the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required. Use fi restop spacer
W500-0358 (not supplied).
