INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

The following procedures show some of the basic installation applications. Remember that
every installation is different, and the installer should adjust to insure that the appliance is
installed properly.

GAS CONNECTIONS

Before hooking up the stove to the gas supply, be sure that the appliance you are installing is
designed for the type of gas being supplied to it. There is a serial number and listing label on the
rear of the appliance that will indicate which type of gas it is designed to utilize. The gas valve
also has a label telling the type of fuel for which it is set up.

There is a 3/8” gas hookup located under the stove body, with access from the rear through
the pedestal cutout. We recommend connecting the stove with an approved ex gas line, as
shown below. If ex gas lines are not approved in your area, you can connect a hard pipe
to the gas hookup.

VENT TERMINATIONS REQUIREMENTS

This unit is equipped with a thermal damper, which has been set at the factory. Do not remove or
attempt to adjust.

The vent must terminate vertically with an approved cap, and the vent termination must be located where
it cannot become restricted or blocked by foreign material (for example, snow and leaves). The vent
termination must be above the roof and not below any eaves or overhangs.

ANSI 223.1, Section 7.6.2 requires a minimum vent height above the roof of 1 foot. On installations with
roof pitch greater than 6/12, there must be at least 3 feet of chimney above the roof level, or 2 feet higher
than any point within 10 feet measured horizontally.

NOTE: The installer must take into
consideration other factors when
determining vent termination height, such
as negative pressure in the home, horizontal
sections and offsets in ue system.

T E R M I N A T I O N S

Use all required venting components when installing this appliance, and do not mix two or more
manufacturers’ products.

EXAMPLES:

1. When the vent passes through the ceiling or upper oor, use of a ceiling support or restop is required.

2. Venting through a wall requires a wall thimble.

3. When vent passes through the roof a proper ashing, storm collar and vent cap are required.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL VENTING REQUIREMENTS

The GB40 FS must be installed to follow the CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada) or ANSI Z223.1 (in the U.S.A.)
requirements, and any local codes or regulations of the authority having jurisdiction.

WARNING: This appliance must be installed in an area with an adequate amount of combustion and
ventilation air for it to vent and operate properly. Be sure that provisions for adequate air are made
at the time of installation.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.

This appliance is designed to attach to either 4” diameter type B vent or double thickness aluminum ex liner,
running the full length of an existing masonry chimney. A minimum ue height of 12 feet is recommended.
If B vent pipe is used, it must be supported by vent supports supplied by the vent manufacturer.

This appliance has a draft hood installed at the factory, so no external draft hood is required.

V E N T I N G :

B-VENT CHIMNEY REQUIRES A 1” MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES.

When venting vertically on exterior of structure, use an insulated venting system or properly built chase
structure to help insulate the vent system. This is recommended due to the low ue temperatures of this

appliance. This also helps prevent the possibility of spillage and draft problems occurring.

Page 20

January 2000 January 2000

Grand Bay 40 Gas Freestanding

VERTICAL TERMINATIONS AND TERMINATIONS WITH

HORIZONTAL SECTIONS

The total horizontal run must not exceed 50% of the total vertical run. Provide a ” rise for each 12”
horizontal run. You must have at least 5 feet of vertical rise.

NOTE: Recommended maximum 35’ vertical.
Recommended maximum offset: Use 4 offsets equaling two 90 degree elbows.

You can place 6” vented stove pipe over the 4” B vent pipe for aesthetics, if you choose. There is an
optional 6” ue collar available for this purpose (see page 34 for part number).

V E N T I N G :

See Page 9 for details.

VENT ATTACHMENT TO FLUE COLLAR

The GB40 FS is equipped with a nondetachable ue collar. The draft hood is stationary to the stove.
When slipping vent over ue collar, the vent should cause the spill strap to lift up. Do not attempt
to rotate the damper on the shaft. This damper should be open when the unit is cold and will close
thermally as the unit heats up.

After running the 4” liner down the existing ue, make sure that the damper plate is securely blocked
open so that it cannot close and pinch or cut the liner. Securely attach the ue collar to the liner. Adjust

and level the stove.

M E T H O D S

See Page 9 for details.

Page 21

Grand Bay 40 Gas Freestanding

EXHAUST SPILLAGE AND TESTING PROCEDURE

There is a spill switch located on the back of the stove below the draft hood, which is designed to
shut down the stove in the case of a blocked ue or a severe downdraft. The switch acts as a safety
shutoff to prevent carbon monoxide or unburned gas leaking into the room.

S PIL L A G E & T E S TIN G

TO TEST FOR SPILLAGE:

1. Start all exhaust fans in the home, then close all doors and windows in the room.

2. Locate the spill tube, which extends to front of stove at top of grill (as shown below).

3. Turn the appliance on and adjust to highest setting. Leave the fan off.

4. Wait ve minutes, then use a match or other device which creates smoke to test for a draft.
Place the match in front of the spill tube (you may want to place a piece of scrap steel or
aluminum foil under the match to block the natural convection air supplied through the
convection grill). The smoke or ame should be drawn into the spill tube (see Normal draft
below). If it is not, wait ve minutes and try again. If there is still no draw, turn the unit off
and check the venting for the cause. You may need to seek expert advice.

NOTE: For high wind areas, the use of a high wind termination cap is recommended.

FIRST FIRE

NOTE: Never operate this appliance with the door open.
NOTE: No electrical power supply is required for the gas control to operate. Standing pilot

allows the valve to operate with manual switch or millivolt thermostat.

WARNING: When the appliance is equipped with a 24 karat gold-plated door,
you must clean all the ngerprints and oils from the gold surface before ring the
appliance for the rst time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and a towel to insure
that the oil is removed. If not cleaned properly before firing, fingerprints or
oil can cause permanent markings on the gold plating. After the gold plating is
cured, the oils will not affect the nish and little maintenance is required; just
wipe clean as needed.

Before rst ring the stove, read the owner’s manual to become familiar with the stove’s
features, controls, and cautions for operation.

Remove all labels from glass before starting your rst re in this stove.

Plug power cord into a properly installed outlet for blower operation.

The blower system has an on/off thermo snap disc that will turn the fan on automatically
when the proper temperature is reached, and will turn the blower off when it cools down in
order not to blow cool air after shut down.

OPERATION CONTROLS

The operation controls are located on the control panel behind the lower grill, and consists
of the following:

1) The rheostat, which controls the fan speed. 2) The manual on/off switch. 3) The piezo
igniter. 4) Valve On/Off and HI/LO control knob.

Follow the lighting instructions on page 21 of this manual, or on the metal sheet chained
in lower grill area by gas control valve.

During your rst re in the appliance, you may notice an odor and steam coming from the
stove. This is normal, it is the high temperature paint nishing its curing process. Open the
door and/or windows in the home or structure for ventilation.

We recommend that you initially cycle the stove on and off, heating the stove to curing
stage for several minutes, and then turn it off to cool for ve minutes. Then turn the stove
back on, and burn until the steam and/or odor no longer appears. If odor persists, turn

F I R S T F I R E

the gas supply to the stove off, and call your local dealer or authorized service person
to inspect the appliance.

WARNING: Extended use of the appliance on high without using the blower can
cause overheating conditions in the appliance, and result in tarnishing or discoloration
of the gold plating on the door. It is recommended that when the blower is not in use,
you should operate the stove at lower valve control settings or cycle the appliance
on and off for short periods.

BLOWER AND SNAP DISC REPLACEMENT

NOTE: BLOWER DOES NOT REQUIRE LUBRICATION. HOWEVER, WE

RECOMMEND VACUUMING OR BRUSHING OFF DUST OR LINT FROM THE FAN
BLADES AS NEEDED.

BLOWER AND SNAP DISC REMOVAL

This appliance is equipped with a 170 cfm convection blower that is automatically controlled
by a temperature-sensing snap disc (145º). The blower has a speed control located on the
control panel behind the lower grill. The blower is located behind the rear access panel at the
back of the rebox. It will be necessary to remove the log set to remove the access panel.
There are twelve screws that hold the panel in place. To replace or access the blower or snap
disc, follow the instructions below and observe the drawing on the following page.

1. Disconnect power from the unit and turn off gas supply.

2. Remove the log set (see log installation, page 14, for reinstallation).

3. Remove the rear log support, then remove the eight screws that hold the rear access
panel/heat shield assembly in place.

4. To remove rear access panel/heat shield assembly, slightly tip forward and remove from
rebox. The snap disc is located on the back of this assembly. To replace snap disc,
slide it out of its holder before removing heat shield from the rebox. If the snap disc is
all that needs to be replaced, reinstall assembly and log set in reverse order. For blower
removal, continue to the next step.

5. Disconnect the blower wiring. This blower is held in place by rubber grommets that
slide over two metal studs welded to the bottom of the unit. Gently lift blower off
mounting studs and remove.

6. Reinstall in reverse order.

IMPORTANT! The blower is equipped with a three prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against shock hazard, and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three
prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

TROUBLESHOOTING

I. PILOT WON’T LIGHT

A. Make sure valve setting is in the pilot position.
B. Check for spark at igniter.

1. If no spark:
a. Check the wiring between the piezo and the igniter. If bad, x wiring; if good, you may

have a faulty piezo or cracked ceramic on the electrode.

b. Call your Quadra-Fire dealer.

2. If there is a spark:
i. Try to light the insert with a match. The ame should either light or utter.

a. If the ame utters but does not light the pilot, there probably is air in the line. Hold

ame to pilot hood, then bleed the line until gas comes through.

b. If the match ame does not utter, make sure the gas is turned on and be sure you are

pushing the knob in all the way. If this still doesn’t help, you may be dealing with a
bad valve, a blocked pilot orice, or a kinked pilot line.

C. Call your dealer or authorized service person.

II. PILOT GOES OUT WHEN KNOB IS RELEASED

A. Wait ve minutes and try again. If the pilot still goes out, try again and hold the knob in longer.
B. If the problem persists, call your dealer or authorized service person.

III. PILOT LIGHTS BUT BURNER WON’T IGNITE

A. Make sure the knob is turned to the “on” position.
B. Turn the thermostat up.
C. If there is no thermostat, ip the manual switch on the control panel behind the lower grill.

If the burner does not light, short out the thermostat screws on the face of valve marked
TH and TPTH. If the burner lights, you may have a problem in the wiring of the stove,
and it should be checked.

D. Check the thermostat and thermopile connections at the valve, and tighten or reconnect if

needed.

E. If the burner still will not ignite, you may have a bad valve; call your dealer or authorized

service person.

F. Refer to page 16, which covers operation of spill switch and testing.

T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G

Check the pilot and burner ames periodically. When properly adjusted, they should look like the
flames in the illustration below. Call your dealer or authorized service person to have the pilot
properly adjusted.
