Caution
FOR YOUR SAFETY - Do not install or operate your Pacic Energy replace without rst reading
and understanding this manual. Any installation or operational deviation from the following
instructions voids the Pacic Energy 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 psi (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 psi (3.5 kPa).
Do not use the replace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualied service
technician to inspect the replace and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
This fireplace is equipped with a micro mesh safety screen for your protection and
must be installed with the unit. Removal of the safety screen will cause the fireplace
to become a burn and fire hazard.

Safety
• Due to high temperatures, this gas appliance should be located out of trafc and away from
furniture and draperies.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
• 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 a
replace 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 ammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.
• A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from the hot viewing glass is provided with the
replace and shall be installed.
• If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall be replaced with the manufacturers barrier
for this appliance.
• Any grill, panel or door removed for servicing the unit must be replaced prior to operating.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualied 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.
• This appliance must not be connected to a chimney ue serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance.
• It 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.

Locating the Fireplace
In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to
be installed, location of vent system and where gas supply piping may be plumbed. Various
installations are possible, such as, into an existing wall, a corner, a built in wall or a wall projection.
Due to high temperatures, do not locate this replace in areas of high trafc or near furniture or
draperies. For places where a second side wall is specied, replace should be accessible for
service
Front of the appliance is an open side of the combustion chamber covered with the glass.
Facing the front of the appliance side from left is the left side of the appliance and side from right is
the right side of the appliance.

Framing and Finishing
Note: This replace should be in place and venting installed before framing in or building an
enclosure around the unit.
The z35 replace must be framed in as described below or totally enclosed with non-combustible
material, such as facing brick.
If preferred, additional masonry type non-combustible material can be installed above the appliance.
The finishing material must not interfere with glass door and safety screen removal.
The sides, back and top of the replace can be framed in using conventional lumber. Consult local
building codes for specic requirements.
Due to high temperatures, non-combustible material board, such as cement board or its equivalent,
must be used to sheet in above the replace, extending a minimum of 13” above the replace
opening so that the top of the non-combustible board is level with the top of the standoffs - (Figure
20 on page 15). Standard sheet rock (dry wall) may be used up to the sides of the replace
opening.
A header using two 2 x 4’s must be installed so that the bottom of the header is level with the top
standoffs (Figure 5). This header will support both combustible and non-combustible facing material
above the replace opening.
If backer board is not to be used, other non-combustible material such as tiles may be used. It
is recommended that top sections of the board be a single sheet of calcium silicate board or its
equivalent. Taped and mudded joints may crack due to the elevated temperatures.
Chase Insulation: When installing this replace against a non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is
recommended that the outer walls be insulated to same degree as other exterior walls. Do not place
replace directly against the insulation. Cover the insulation and plastic vapour barrier with a solid
surface, such as dry wall (sheet rock). Consult local codes. Do not insulate between the top of the
replace and the top of the stand-offs.
