MODELS: QVI-25FB-S LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) TYPE: Vented Gas Appliance Heaters STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88-2002 • CSA2.33-M2003 • UL307B
This product is listed to ANSI standards for “Vented Gas Appliance Heaters” and applicable sections of “Gas Burn­ing Heating Appliances for Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicles”, and “Gas Fired Appliances for Use at High Altitudes”.
NOT INTENDED FOR USE AS A PRIMAR Y HEA T SOURCE.
This appliance is tested and approved as either supplemen­tal room heat or as a decorative appliance. It should not be factored as primary heat in residential heating calculations.
Note: To assure top performance, safety and effi ciency, inserts must be installed with an approved fl ue liner as per CAN/CGA B-149 or National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223 and these instructions.
Note: This installation must conform with local codes. In the absence of local c odes you must comply w ith the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 -latest edition in the U.S.A. and the CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes in Canada.

C. High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved with­out requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rat­ing by changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. Input rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A., or 10% for elevations between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating value of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify the proper orifi ce size, check with the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.
WARNING
Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
D. Non-Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750º C, shall be considered
non-combustible materials.
E. Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fi bers, plastics, or other material that can ig- nite and burn, whether fl ame proofed or not, or whether plastered or unplastered shall be considered combustible materials.

Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional outside air source is required.
CAUTION
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, fi re offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
Quadra-Fire gas inserts are designed for recessed installa­tions into solid fuel masonry or factory built non-combustible replaces that have been installed in accordance with the National, Provincial, State and local building codes.
Prior to installing the gas insert:
• Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected and cleaned by qualifi ed professionals. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certifi ed professionals, or technicians under the direction of certi­ ed professionals, conduct a minimum of a NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection of the chimney.
• Replace component parts of the chimney and fi replace as specifi ed by the professionals.
• Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney is properly secured.
When planning an appliance installation, it’s necessary to determine the following information before installing:
• Minimum fi replace size. See Section 3.A.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring.
• Finishing details.
• Existing mantel projections. See Section 10.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
C. Inspect Appliance and Components
WARNING
Inspect appliance and components for damage. Damaged parts may impair safe operation.
• Do NOT install damaged components.
• Do NOT install incomplete components.
• Do NOT install substitute components. Report damaged parts to dealer.
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from the packaging.
• The vent system components, surrounds and fronts are shipped in separate packages.
• The fi ber logs may be packaged separately and must be fi eld installed.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass.
• Read all of the instructions before starting the insta­llation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefi t.
WARNING
Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility for, and the warranty will be voided by, the following actions:
• Installation and use of any damaged appliance or vent system component.
• Modifi cation of the appliance or vent system.
• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home Technologies.
• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not approved by Hearth & Home Technologies.
Any such action may cause a fi re hazard.
B. Tools and Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure that the following tools and building supplies are available.
Pliers Hi temp caulking material Hammer Flat blade screwdriver Voltmeter Framing square Gloves Variable speed drill 1/4 Hex drive Safety glasses Manometer Phillips screwdriver Tape measure Non-corrosive leak check solution 1/2 - 3/4 inch length, #6 or #8 Self-drilling screws

Fireplace Size Requirements
A. Minimum Fireplace Opening
Minimum fi replace opening requirements are shown in Figure 3.1.
• The fi rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory built fi rebox in order to gain minimum gas insert opening requirements.
Î
• Any smoke shelves, shields, baffl es and the metal fl oor of the unit may be removed from a factory built fi rebox if attached with mechanical fasteners. If the appliance is placed on the base of the outer wrap, a ¼ inch airspace must be provided between the insert and the fl oor of the outer wrap.
Î
• Cutting of any sheet metal parts of the fi replace in which the gas fi replace insert is to be installed is prohibited.
WARNING
Fire Risk Provide adequate clearance:
• Around air openings
• To combustibles
• For service access Locate appliance away from traffi c areas.
