Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in the above diagrams.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using the above scale.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.

INSTALLATION
GAS CONNECTION
GAS CONNECTION WARNING: Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance.
1)If the appliance is to be installed into an existing chimney system, thoroughly clean the masonry or factory built fi replace.
2)The appliance is provided with an opening on the left hand side of the control compartment. A 3/8" NPT gas supply pipe must be brought near this inlet hole.
3)Locate the center point where the vent will pass through the chimney above the appliance. Move the appliance into the exact location where it is to be installed. Ensure that the Insert is level.
VENTING
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to be attached to two 3" (76mm) co-linear aluminium fl ex running the full length of the chimney. The fl ue length must be a minimum length of 8 ' (2.44m) and a maximum of 35' (10.7m). See chart above for minimum distances from roof. Periodically check that the vent is unrestricted.
Masonry chimneys may take various contours which the fl exible liner will accommodate. However, keep the flexible liner as straight as possible, avoid unnecessary bending.

FLUE LINER
INSTALLATION
1)Cut the fl ex liner as required.
2)Mark the end of one liner to indicate Exhaust.
3)Connect the other end of the above liner to the exhaust side of the termination adaptor, seal connection with high temperature silicone. Secure with gear clamp.
4)Connect the 2nd liner to the inlet side of the adaptor,sealconnectionwithhightemperature silicone. Secure with gear clamp.
5)Install fl ashing.
6)Insert both liners into chimney, passing through the damper opening.
7)Install termination cap.
8)Connect the marked end of the liner to the exhaust collar of the vent connector plate marked with an "E", seal connection with high temperature silicone. Secure with gear clamp.
9)Connectthe2ndlinertotheintakecollar,seal connection with high temperature silicone. Secure with gear clamp.
10)Align vent connector plate with guides on unit.
11)Slideunitintomasonryopening,whileensuring that the slot at the rear of the connector plate mates up with the hold down plate on the unit.
12)Secure with Screw.
NOTE:
1)Final gas connection should be made after unit is in place to avoid damage to line when pushing the unit into position.
2)Mill-pac may be used instead of high tempture silicone and screws may be used instead of gear clamps at connections of liner to inlet and vent collars.

PRESSURE TESTING 9) |
Alternative TC Connection Point |
The 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 psig. (3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures over 1/2 psig.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator built into the gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point.
NOTE:Toproperlycheckgaspressure,both inlet and manifold pressures should becheckedusingthevalvepressure ports on the valve.
1)Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.
2)Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/8" wide fl at screwdriver.
3)Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.
4)Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON" position.
5)The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning and the setting should be within the limits specifi ed on the safety label.
6)When fi nished reading manometer, turn off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" fl at screwdriver. Note: Screw should be snug, but do not over tighten.

AERATION SYSTEM
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed throughthebottomlouveropening.Opentheair shutter for a blue fl ame or close for a yellower fl ame. The burner aeration is factory set but may need adjusting due to either the local gas supply or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
