Caution
FOR YOUR SAFETY - Do not install or operate your Pacific Energy fireplace without first reading
and understanding this manual. Any installation or operational deviation from the following instructions voids the Pacific Energy Fireplace Warranty and may prove hazardous.
This appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shut off 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).
Note: When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a couple of hours. This
is due to the curing of paints, sealants and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. This
condition is temporary. Open doors and windows to ventilate area. Smoke and fumes caused by the
curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
Do not use the fireplace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the fireplace and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.

furniture and draperies.
rChildren and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
rYoung 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 a
fireplace 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.
rClothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.
rA barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from the hot viewing glass is provided with the
Surround Kit component and shall be installed.
rIf the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall be replaced with the manufacturers barrier
for this appliance.
rAny grill, panel or door removed for servicing the unit must be replaced prior to operating.
rInstallation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is
imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance
be kept clean.
rThis appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance.
rIt is our policy that no responsibility is assumed by the Company or by any of its employees or
representatives for any damages caused by an inoperable, inadequate, or unsafe condition which
is the result, either directly or indirectly, of any improper operation or installation procedures.

First Fire
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a couple of hours. This is due to
the curing of paints, sealants and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. This condition is
temporary. Open doors and windows to ventilate area. Odour caused by the curing process may
cause discomfort to some individuals.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises
during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or
cook stove oven.
NOTE: Fireplace may take up to
30 seconds to ignite each time the
“ON” button has been selected

Existing Fireplace Preparation
Note: SIT controlled installations require that an electrical outlet be installed into existing fireplace
cavity before insert is installed.
The Tofino Gas inserts are certified to be installed into pre-existing approved fireplace. The minimum existing
opening fireplace requirements are listed in Figure 3 below.

B 22 1/8” 22 1/8”
C without handles 32” 32”
C with handles 33 1/2” 33 1/2”
Figure 3: Minimum openings.
Before installing the Tofino inserts, have the chimney and fireplace swept including ash dumps and clean
outs. Clean and remove any creosote and soot residue that may cause odors and stains after the insert
has been installed. The fireplace chimney should be in good working order and made of non-combustible
material. Make sure chimney clean-outs fit properly.
When preparing an existing fireplace to install a gas insert, any modifications that will compromise the
integrity of the existing fireplace are not allowed. To make way for the inserts’ venting, the fireplace flue
dampener may be blocked open or removed. Refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log
grates can be removed from the fireplace before installing the insert. Also, smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners. Cutting any sheet metal parts of the fireplace, in
which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5” dia. (37.5mm) or
less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like man-
ner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has been
installed.

Venting
Installation Advisory
The i30 comes from the factory with a 3” intake and a 4” exhaust configuration. Whenever possible, this
configuration should be used. However, a 4” to 3” optional reducer (Figure 11) can be used on the exhaust
for venting lengths between 10’ and 28’ if necessary. Be advised that using this optional adapter may have
an impact on flame appearance and is not recommended for use with the glass burner option while operating with propane gas.
10’ to 40’ Use the 3x4 Configuration
10’ to 28’ Use the 3x4 and the 4” to 3” adapter Configuration
Installation Tip
Depending on the amount of room available for the installation of the Tofino, the installer may want to remove
the flue adapter and attach it to the flex tubes which will have previously been inserted down the chimney.
The installer must make sure that the air intake vent and air exhaust vents attach to the correct ports on
both the flue adapter and the vent terminal. The vent terminal and the flue adapter are marked with an “I” (air
intake) and “E” (air exhaust).
Optional 4” to 3” exhaust adapter
Part number for the optional 4” to 3” exhaust adapter is 1227.0003.
