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).

INSTALLATION INTO A SOLID FUEL BURNING FIREPLACE OR FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE

The L540E / HZI540E Gas Inserts have been tested and approved to be vented into any masonry Þreplace or approved solid fuel burning factory built Þ replace that will allow the insert to physically Þ t into the Þ rebox. Refer to "Minimum

Fireplace Dimensions" section for minimum Þ replace clearances.

If the factory built Þ replace* height is too low for your Insert, you may remove the smoke bafß e plate, damper, refractory (Þ rebricks), glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates from the factory built Þ replace as long as these items are saved and are reinstalled in the event that the Insert is removed.

Smoke shelves, shields and bafß es may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners.

If any part is removed it must not weaken the structural integrity of the factory built Þ replace.

NOTE: Any alterations made to the listed solid fuel burning factory built Þ replace may void the listing of the Þ replace.

*Check with your local inspector before commencing with this installation.

Installer must mechanically attach the supplied label to the inside of the Þ rebox of the Þ replace into which the gas Þ replace insert is installed.

"WARNING: This fireplace has been converted for use with a gas Þ replace insert only and cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced, and the Þreplace re-approved by the authority having jurisdiction."

BEFORE YOU START

Safe installation and operation of this appliance requires common sense, however, we are required by the Canadian Safety Standards and ANSI Standards to make you aware of the following:

General Safety Information

1)The appliance installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada) or the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 in the U.S.A.This appliance should be installed by a qualiÞ ed gas Þ tter technician only.

2)Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person.

3)The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, animal hair, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

4)See general construction and assembly instructions. This appliance may only be

installed in a vented, noncombustible

Þreplace.

5)This appliance is Listed for bedroom installations when used with a Listed Millivolt Thermostat. Some areas may have further requirements, check local codes before installation.

6)Always connect this insert to a vent system venting to the outside of the building envelope. Never vent to another room or inside a building. Make sure that the vent is properly sized and is of adequate height to provide the proper draft.

7)Inspect the venting system annually for blockage and any signs of deterioration.

8)Any glass removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

9)To prevent injury, do not allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the operation to use the

Þreplace.

10)Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of high trafÞ c areas and away from furniture and draperies. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures, especially the Þ replace glass and gold trims, and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance. Clothing or other ß ammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.

Emissions from burning wood or gas could contain chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

LEVELING LEG ADJUSTMENT

The L540E / HZI540E inserts are equipped with 4 levelling legs that are accessible while the appliance is in its Þ nal installation position. The unit can be adjusted up to 5/8" (16mm). The faceplate must not be installed to do this adjustment, if installed, remove faceplate.

Remove left and right inner panels by sliding them forward. The rear levelling bolts are located in the back corners of the Þ rebox and can be adjusted using a 7/16" wrench. Rotate the bolts clockwise to raise the rear of the Þ rebox.

The front levelling bolts are adjusted before installing the faceplate. Located on the left on right of the outer shell, they can also be adjusted using a 7/16" deep socket with extension.

When the appliance is in position, adjust the bolts to level the appliance, making sure that the appliance is also level and is sitting on all 4 bolts to prevent rocking.

L540E-2 / HZI540E-2 Direct Vent Gas Insert

INSTALLATION

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT

Air Shutters are required to increase or decrease the amount of air that is mixed with the fuel before combustion. This will have an affect on how well the fuel combusts and how the ß ame physically appears.

Low primary air will leave a taller, yellower ß ame while higher primary air will leave a lower, bluer ß ame.

This setting is largely for appearance, however, not enough primary air may lead to carboning, sooting or a ß ame that reaches the top of the Þ rebox. Situations that may require more primary air are; units that are burning propane, units installed at higher elevations or units that are run on high most of the time.

The L540E / HZI540E is equipped with an air shutter that is accessible from outside the Þ rebox and can be adjusted during operation.

Aeration adjustments should only be made after the unit has been on for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Slide the Air Shutter Lever towards you to increase the primary air setting.

Slide the Air Shutter away from you to decrease the primary air setting. Below you will see a chart showing the minimum primary air settings.

These are set from the factory, but due to fuel conversions or installation conditions, the air setting may need to be adjusted.

INSTALLATION

Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult with your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation code.

For USA installations follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

When using copper or ß ex connectors use only approved Þ ttings. Always provide a union so that gas lines can be easily disconnected for servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and ß ex connectors are usually considered to meet this requirement.

NOTE: A shutoff / dante valve should be supplied in or near the unit (or as per local codes) for ease of servicing this appliance.

IMPORTANT: Always check for gas leaks with a soap and water solution or gas leak detector. Do not use open flame for leak testing.

GAS PIPE PRESSURE		4	3
TESTING			2
The appliance must be isolated from the gas sup-			1
ply 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: To properly check gas pressure, both
inlet and manifold pressures should be
checked using the valve pressure ports			7
on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s),		5
turning counterclockwise with a			6
1/8" wide ß at screwdriver.

3)Attachmanometerto"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 speciÞ ed on the safety label.

6)When Þ nished reading manometer, turn off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" ß at screwdriver.

Note:Screw should be snug,but do not over tighten.
