SAFETY NOTICES

This appliance should only be installed by a qualied installer. It is approved for installation in a bedroom.
Bedroom installation in Canada requires that the stove be connected to a thermostat. The appliance must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or the latest edition of the National Electric Code. If
no local codes exist, this appliance should be installed following the current codes:

CAN/CGA-B149.1 ........................................................................ Natural Gas Installation Code

CSA-C22.1..................................................................................... Canadian Electrical Code

ANSI Z223.1.................................................................................. National Fuel Gas Code

ANSI NFPA-70.............................................................................. National Electrical Code

The control compartment, burner, and circulating air passageways MUST be kept clean and clear to allow
for adequate combustion and proper operation. Provide adequate clearances around air openings and
adequate accessibility clearance for service and operation. NEVER obstruct the openings of the appliance
or the vent termination on the exterior of the building. NEVER vent the appliance to other rooms or
buildings; this appliance must be vented ONLY to the outside. During installation, be sure to maintain
minimum clearances to combustibles, as shown on page 9. Always contact your local building
department or re department prior to installing this appliance. If required, obtain a permit before
installing, and have the completed installation inspected. Failure to do this could jeopardize your
homeowner’s insurance.

The area around the appliance MUST be kept free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
ammable vapors and liquids.

This appliance is hot during operation, and should be located out of heavy trafc areas and away from
furniture and draperies. Clothing or other ammable material should not be placed on or near the
appliance. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Children should not be left unsupervised in the room
when this appliance is in operation.

If any part of this appliance has been exposed to water, DO NOT USE it!! Immediately call a qualied
service technician to inspect the appliance, and to replace any part of the control system or any gas
control which has been under water.

This appliance should NOT be modied under any circumstances. Any parts removed for servicing must
be replaced before operating this appliance. Installation and repair should only be done by a qualied service
technician. The appliance and its venting system should be inspected and cleaned annually by a qualied
service technician. More frequent cleaning may be necessary due to excess lint and dust from carpeting,
bedding material, etc. Be sure to turn off gas valve and pilot before cleaning this appliance.

Install at least one smoke detector on each oor of your home to ensure your safety. They should be located
away from the gas appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s
placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly. Your local re department may
provide assistance in selecting smoke detectors, or contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission,
Washington, D.C. 20207.

GAS LINE CONNECTION

Gas line connection can be made near the lower rear of the appliance (3/8” gas hookup). You must supply
a shutoff valve installed in a visible location within three feet (3’) of the stove.

CAUTION

In some areas, gas line pressure may be more than 1/2 psig (14” wc). If you believe that this might
be the case in your locality, contact your gas supplier or local utility company. Line pressure
greater than 1/2 psig will damage the appliance valve. You must install a regulator upstream from the
appliance if line pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.

S P E C I F I C A T I O N S

PRESSURE TESTING

During any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that exceeds test pressures of 1/2 PSIG, this
appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the piping system. If test pressure is
less than or equal to 1/2 PSIG, then this appliance must be isolated from the piping system by closing its
individual shutoff valve. The gas valve is supplied with pressure test ports for checking input and output
pressures. These are located just next to the on/off knob and can be found inside the hinged lower access
grill. The port on the left is for output pressure and the port on the right for input. Pressure can be checked
by turning the captured screw counterclockwise two or three turns and then placing the manometer tubing
over the test port. BE SURE TO CLOSE CAPTURED SCREWS AFTER TESTING BY TURNING
THEM CLOCKWISE. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS.

NOTE: To make ame and heat output adjustments, turn the HI-LO knob located on the center of the valve
(as seen below). Turn clockwise for a higher ame and counterclockwise for a lower ame.

The Quadra-Fire GB40 FS is listed to ANSI Z21.11.1 and CAN 1-2.1 by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc.
