Approvals and Codes
Appliance Certification
The Village Collection fireplace models discussed in this Installers Guide have been tested to certification standards and listed by the applicable laboratories.
Certification
MODELS: QV32-A, QV36-A LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories TYPE: Vented Gas Fireplace Heater STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88•CSA2.33•UL307B
NOTE: THESE MODELS ARE UL LISTED TO UL307B, THE STA NDARD FOR GAS-BURNING HEA TING APPLI­ANCES FOR MANUFACTURED HOMES AND RECRE-
A TIONAL VEHICLES.
Installation Codes
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the fireplace, consult the local building code agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the U.S.A. and from 0 to 4,500 feet in Canada.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply . To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000 and 4,500 feet (in Canada), the input rating must be reduced by ten percent (10%).
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for your location.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes (in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFP ANo. 70 (in the United States), or to the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).
These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting room in the U.S.A. and Canada.

Getting Started
Introducing the Village Collection Gas Fireplaces
The Village Collection direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions, are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide. Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any
unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped in separate packages. The gas logs are packaged separately and must be field installed.
Read all of the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit. Failure to follow these instructions will void the owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Aladdin Hearth Products Warranty will be voided by, and Aladdin Hearth Products disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system component.
Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
Installation other than as instructed by Aladdin Hearth Products.
Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
Installation and/or use of any component part not manu­factured and approved by Aladdin Hearth Products, not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or other party approval of such component part or accessory .
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to determine:
Where the unit is to be installed.
The vent system configuration to be used.
Gas supply piping.
Electrical wiring.
Framing and finishing details.
Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on any combustible material other than wood flooring, the fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Installing the Fireplace
Constructing the Fireplace Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be, installed inside a chase.

CAUTION: TREA TMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MA Y V AR Y WITH THE TYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL BUILDING CODES. THEREFORE, YOUR LOCAL BUILD­ING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.
Factory-built fireplace chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building envelope in any manner.
This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltra­tion barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Aladdin Hearth Products recommends that the inside surfaces be sheet­rocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the firestops should be caulked to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being in­stalled on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer of plywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors for woodburning units if they are required.
THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THA TALL CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINTAINED AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS GUIDE.
Step 1. Locating the Fireplace
The following diagram shows space and clearance require­ments for locating a fireplace within a room.
Clearance Requirements
The top and back of the fireplace are defined by stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wallextending past the face of the fire place i s3 inches (7 6mm). The back of the fireplace may be recessed 16 1/4 inches (413mm) into combustible construction.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
These models have vent starting collars on both the top and the back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain on the starting collar NOT used.
These models use SL-D-series, direct vent components when using the TOP vent collars and D-series direct vent components when using the REAR vent collars.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.
WARNING: YOU MUST NOT MIX D-SERIES
!
AND SL D-SERIES COMPONENTS IN ANY VENT SYSTEM CONFIGURA TION.
Identifyi ng Vent Components
Approved vent system components are labeled for identifica­tion. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved compo­nent of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection open­ings at each joint within the wall. There is no required pitch for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent termination kit and should be used in conjunction with thisInstallers Guide. Fig­ure 7 shows vent system components and terminations.
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may in­clude one, two, or three 90°elbow assemblies. The rela­tionships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configura­tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings and tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90° elbow. Maximum and minimum rise to run ratios must always be maintained in the vent system when using 45° elbows.

Flex Vent
The flex vent must be supported with the spacing between support intervals not exceeding 4 feet, with no more than ½ inch sag between supports.
A support is required at each change in venting direction, and in any location where it is necessary to maintain the necessary clearance to combustibles. A simple “up and out” installation (Figure 9) requires only enough support to main­tain the necessary clearance to combustibles. However, the vent attachment point and the firestop location are consid­ered to be supports.

2. Continue Adding Vent Components
V
• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed­ing component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure­ly fitted and locked into the preceding component.
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el­bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre­ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2) sheet metal screws.
4. Install Firestops For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both
sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.
NOTE: Model DVK-01TRD or SLK-01TRD does not need an exterior firestop on an exterior combustible wall.
To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through either interior or exterior walls:
Cut a 12-inch by 12-inch (305 mm X 305 mm) hole through the wall for D-series or a 10-inch by 10-inch (254 mm X 254 mm) hole for SL-D-series pipe. The center of the framing hole is one (1) inch (25.4mm) above the center of the hori­zontal vent pipe.
• Position the firestops on both sides of the hole previ­ously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.
• The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed to­wards the top of the hole.
• Continue the vent run through the firestops.

For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install
V
the vent sections:
• Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the underside of the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint.
• Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint nail.
• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on the pitch of the roof. ThereMUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm) clear­ance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials.
• Mark the roof hole accordingly.
To seal the roof hole, and to divert rain and snow from the vent system:
• Attach a flashing to the roof using nails, and use a non­hardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base where it meets the roof.
• Attach a storm collar over the flashing joint to form a water-tight seal. Place non-hardening mastic around the joint, between the storm collar and the vertical pipe.
• Slide the termination cap over the end of the vent pipe and rotate the pipe clockwise 1/4 turn.
• Cover the opening of the installed vent pipes.
• Cut and frame the roof hole.
• Use framing lumber the same size as the roof rafters and install the frame securely . Flashing anchored to the frame must withstand heavy winds.
• Continue to install concentric vent sections up through the roof hole and up past the roof line until you reach the appropriate distance above the roof.

Step 11. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following: Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace. Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter­minations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re­placed with an approved component. Tampering with the fireplace components isDANGEROUS and voids all war­ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally .
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run for 3 to 4 hours on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely . Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the chemicals used in the paint and logs.

When you light your fireplace, you may notice: This gas appliance produces heat which does have an associ-
ated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial 3-4 hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Addi­tionally, for the first few minutes after each lighting, vapor may condense and fog the glass and flames may be blue. After a few minutes this moisture will disappear and within 15-30 min­utes the flames should become yellow.
Noise caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of your fireplace.

Maintaining and Servicing Your Fireplace
Fireplace Maintenance
Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and main­tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you should have a qualified service technician perform an appli­ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season. See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each fireplace maintenance task.
IMPORTAN T : TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING YOUR FIREPLACE.
Replacing old ember material Frequency: Once annually , during the checkup. By: Qualified service technician. Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.
Replace old ember material with pieces of Mystic Ember following the directions in Placing Ember Material. New ember material should be placed ontop of the burner. Sa ve the remaining ember material and repeat this procedure at your next servicing. For more information, see Placing
Ember Material.
Checking Vent System Frequency: Before initial use and at least annually
thereafter, more frequently if possible.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner. Task: Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to
ensure that no debris is interfering with the flow of air. Inspect entire vent system for proper function.
Cleaning Glass Door Frequency: After the first 3 to 4 hours of use. As necessary
after initial cleaning.
By: Home owner. Task: Remove and clean glass after the first 3 to 4 hours of
use. After the initial cleaning, clean as necessary , par ticularly after adding new ember (flame colorant) material. Film deposits on the inside of the glass door should be cleaned off using a household glass cleaner.NOTE: DO NOT handle
or attempt to clean the door when it is hot and DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning Burner and Controls Frequency: Once annually . By: Qualified service technician. Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment, fireplace
logs and burner areas surrounding the logs.
Checking Flame Patterns, Flame Height Frequency: Periodically.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner. Task: Make a visual check of your fireplace’s flame patterns.
Make sure the flames are steady - not lifting or floating. See Figure 47. The thermopile/thermocouple tips should be covered with flame. See Figure 34.

properly connected, replace the ignitor. Using match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and trigger the red or
black piezo button again. If the pilot lights, an improper gas/air mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period is recommended. If the pilot will not light,
ensure the the gap at the electrode and pilot is one-eighth (1/8) inch to have a strong spark. If the gap is OK, replace the pilot.
Check the remote shut-off valvess from the fireplace. Usually, there is a valve near the gas ma i n. There can be more than one (1) valve between the fireplace and the
main.
Check that the pilot flame impinges on the thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust the
pilot for maximum flame impingement. Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight
(hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).
3. The pilot is
burning, there is no
gas burner, the valve knob is in the ON position, and the
ON/OFF switch is in
the ON position.
Dis c o nnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt meter lead wire on
the tip of the thermcouple and the other meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less
than 15mV, replace the thermocouple. b. Def ec ti ve valve. If the thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, replace faulty valve. a. ON/OFF switch or
wires defective.

c. Defe ct iv e valve. Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON
d. Plugged burner orifice.
e. Wall switch or wires are defective.
Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place the jumper
wires across the terminals at the switch. If the burner comes on, replace the
defective switch. If the switch is OK, place the jumper wires across the switch wires
at the gas valve. If the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are
bad.
If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust the pilot
flame.
Be s ure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve terminals are
tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot bracket.
Check the thermopile with a millvolt meter. Take the reading at TH-TP&TP
terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 325 millivolts minimum, while
holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the
ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is
below the specified minimum.
With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from the valve.
Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading should be 325 millivolts
minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.
posi t i on. Check the millivolt meter a the thermopile terminals. The millivolt meter
should read greater than 125mV. If the reading is acceptable, and if the burner
does not come on, replace the gas valve.
