KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around your appliance with noncombustible
material and wherever cold air could enter
the room. It is especially important to insulate
outside chase cavity between studs and under
floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above
ground level. Gas line holes and other openings
should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced
fiberglass insulation.

If the fireplace is being installed on a cement
slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or
other raised platform can be placed underneath
to prevent cold transfer to the fireplace and
into the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside
surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness
and caulk firestops.

NOTE: Attic insulation shield (H3908, see Page 10) must be
installed when blown or loose-fill insulation is used, and is
required for all attic installations.

Shelf Height

To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface, the venting attached to
the top vent should be routed in a way to minimize obstructions to the
space above the appliance. Do not insulate the space between the ap-
pliance and the area above it (see Figure 7). The minimum height from
the base of the appliance to the underside of combustible materials used
to construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shown in Figure 7.

Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels

NOTE: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must
not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the appliance front face
(black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned

in front of or overlapping the appliance face. See Figure 9 and Figure
51 on Page 30.

Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim,
may be installed on the appliance front face with these exceptions: they
must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel.

Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according
to the depth of the mantel. See Figure 8. Mantels constructed of non­combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance
opening. Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such
as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance.

NOTE: We recommend the use of high temperature paint (rated 175° F
or higher) on the underside of the mantel.

Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as
shelves,window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance.

Framing

Step 1. FRAMING

Frame these appliances as illustrated in Figure
11 on Page 12, unless the appliance is to be
installed in a corner. See Figure 12 on Page
13 for corner framing installations. All framing

details must allow for a minimum clearance to
combustible framing members as shown in
Table 5 on Page 10.

If the appliance is to be elevated above floor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed below the appliance.

Headers may be in direct contact with the
appliance top spacers but must not be sup­ported by them or notched to fit around them.
All construction above the appliance must be
self-supporting, DO NOT use the appliance for
structural support.

A header heat shiled is taped to the top of the
fireplace. Slide the heat shield into the framing
and attach the heat shield using the screws in
the standoff (see Figure 10).

The fireplace should be secured to the side
framing members using the unit's nailing
flanges—one top and bottom on each side of
the fireplace front (see Figure 10). Use 8d nails
or their equivalent.

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the inside
of the right side framing as shown in Figure

13. Gas lines must be routed, constructed and
made of materials that are in strict accordance
with local codes and regulations.

All appliances are factory-equipped with a
flexible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff
valve. (See Step 6 on Page 24).

The incoming gas line should be piped into the
valve compartment and connected in one of the
two methods as shown in Figure 36 on Page 25.

Figure 13

Proper Sizing of Gas Line

Properly size and route the gas supply
line from the supply regulator to the area
where the appliance is to be installed per
requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54—latest edition (USA) or CAN/
CGA-B149.1—latest edition (Canada).

Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to
Table 6 for proper sizing of the gas supply
line, if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines
must be routed, constructed and made of
materials that are in strict accordance with
local codes and regulations. We recommend
that a qualified individual such as a plumber
or gas fitter be hired to correctly size and route
the gas supply line to the appliance. Installing
a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the
appliance involves numerous considerations of
materials, protection, sizing, locations, controls,
pressure, sediment, and more. Certainly no one
unfamiliar and unqualified should attempt sizing
or installing gas piping.

NOTES:

• All appliances are factory-equipped with a
flexible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff
valve (see Figure 36 on Page 25).

• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page
6 for additional requirements for installations
in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.

• The gas supply line should Not be connected
to the appliance until Step 6 (Page 25).

• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be
used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane

resistant compounds are used in propane
applications. Be very careful that the pipe

compound does not get inside the pipe.

• It is recommended to install a sediment trap
in the supply line as close as possible to the
appliance (see Figure 36 on Page 25).

• Check with local building official for local
code requirements.

IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that
if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100 lbs, if
this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling.
Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure,
resulting in insufficient fuel delivery (which
can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition
or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting
from an improper installation, such as this,
is not covered under the limited warranty.

General Information
These instructions should be used as a guide-

line and do not supersede local codes in any
way. Install vent according to local codes,
these instructions, the current National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the
current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 and

-B149.2 in Canada.
Ensure clearances are in accordance with

local installation codes and the requirements
of the gas supplier.

Dégagement conforme aux codes
d'installation locaux et aux exigences du
foumisseunde gaz.

Use only approved venting components.
See Approved Vent Components on
Page 4.

These fireplaces must be vented directly
to the outside.

The vent system may not service multiple
appliances, and must never be connected to a
flue serving a separate solid fuel burning ap­pliance. The vent pipe is tested to be run inside
an enclosing wall (such as a chase). There is
no requirement for inspection openings in the
enclosing wall at any of the joints in the vent pipe.

Installation of Vent Restrictor

A vent restrictor may be needed with this
appliance. The restrictor is installed in the
appliance top flue outlet as shown in Figure 14,

For vertical venting from 6 feet to 12 feet or
more, from the top of the fireplace to the top
of the termination, the installation of a vent
restrictor is required.

If necessary, install a vent restrictor in the
appliance flue outlet as shown in Figure 14. The
vent restrictor is held in place by friction, only.

NOTE: The restrictor is included within the
firebox.

The vertical vent system terminates through
the roof. The minimum vent height above the
roof and/or adjacent walls is specified in ANSI
Z223.1—latest edition (In Canada, the current
CAN/CGA-B149.1 installation code) by major
building codes. Always consult your local
codes for specific requirements. A general
guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to

Figure 4 on Page 8).

Vertical (Offset) Installation

Analyze the vent routing and determine the
quantities of vent sections and number of elbows
required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and
Tables on Page 18 to select the type of vertical
installation desired. Vent sections are available
in net lengths of 4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267
mm), 22-1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and
46-1/2" (1181 mm). Refer to the Vent Section
Length Chart on Page 15 for an aid in select-
ing length combinations. Elbows are available
in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer to Figure
20 on Page 17 for the SV8 E45 and SV8 E90
elbow dimensional specifications.

Where required, a telescopic vent section
(SV8LA) may be used to provide the installer
with an option in installing in tight and confined
spaces or where the vent run made up of fixed
length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable
location, or will not build up to the required
length. The SV8LA Telescopic Vent Section has
an effective length of from 1-1/2" (38 mm) to
6-3/4" (171 mm). The SV8LA is fitted with a
dimpled end (identical to a normal vent section
component) and a plain end with 3 pilot holes.
Slip the dimpled end over the locking channel
end of a standard SV8 vent component the
required distance and secure with three screws.

Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance
to combustible materials for all vertical ele­ments. Clearances for all horizontal elements
are 3" (76 mm) on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides
and 1" (25 mm) on the bottom.

A. Frame ceiling opening—Use a plumb line

from the ceiling above the appliance to locate
center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an
opening, 13" x 13" (330 mm x 330 mm) inside
dime nsions, about this center mark (Figure 16).

To attach a vent component to the appliance
collar, align the dimpled end over the collar,
adjusting the radial alignment until the four
locking dimples are aligned with the inlet of
the four inclined channels on the collar (refer
to Figure 17). Push the vent component against
the collar until it fully engages, then twist the
component clockwise, running the dimples
down and along the incline channels until they
seat at the end of the channels. The unitized
design of the Secure Vent components will
engage and seal both the inner and outer pipe
without the need for sealant or screws. If desired
a #6 x 1/2" screw may be used at the joint, but
it is not required as the pipe will securely lock
when twisted.

C. Attach vent components to each other—

Other vent sections may be added to the
previously installed section in accordance with
the requirements of the vertical vent figures
and tables. To add another vent component
to a length of vent run, align the dimpled end
over the inclined channel end of the previously
installed section, adjusting the radial alignment
until the four locking dimples are aligned with
the inlets of the four incline channels of the
previous section.

Push the vent component against the previous
section until it fully engages, then twist the
component clockwise running the dimples down
and along the incline channels until they seat at
the end of the channels. This seating position

is indicated by the alignment of the arrow and
dimple as shown in Figure 17.

D. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling—When

using Secure Vent, use SV8BF firestop/spacer
at ceiling joists. If there is living space above
the ceiling level, the firestop/spacer must be
installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic
space is above the ceiling, the firestop/spacer
must be installed on the top side of the joist.

Route the vent sections through the framed
opening and secure the firestop/spacer with
8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each
corner. Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm)

clearance to combustibles, framing members,
and attic or ceiling insulation when running
vertical chimney sections. Attic insulation
shield (H3908) is required and may be used to
help maintain the clearances indicated here.
See installation accessories on Page 32. The

gap between the vent pipe and a vertical firestop
can be sealed with non-combustible caulking.

E. Support the vertical vent run sections—

NOTE: Proper venting support is very important.
The weight of the vent must not be supported
by the fireplace in any degree.

Support the vertical portion of the venting
system every 8 feet (2.4 m) above the fireplace
vent outlet.

One method of support is by utilizing field pro-

Storm

vided support straps (conventional plumber's
tape). Secure the plumber's tape to the framing
members with nails or screws. Strap the tape
around the vent, securing the ends of the tape
to the framing. If desired, sheet metal screws
#6 x 1/2" length may be used to secure the
support straps to the vent pipe. See Figure 18

on Page 16.

F. Change vent direction to horizontal/inclined
run—At transition from or to a horizontal/

inclined run, install the SV8 E45 and SV8 E90
elbows in the same manner as the straight vent
sections. The elbows feature a twist section to
allow them to be routed about the center axis
of their initial collar section to align with the
required direction of the next vent run element.

Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direction
only so as to avoid the possibility of unlocking
any of the previously connected vent sections.

See Figure 17 on Page 16 and Figure 19.

K. Install the vertical termination—The final

step involves installation of the Vertical Termina­tion. Extend the vent sections to the height as
shown in the "Vertical vent termination section"
on Page 8. The SV8VTR Vertical Termination
(Figure 22) can be installed in the exact same
fashion as any other Secure Vent® section. Align
the termination over the end of the previously
installed section, adjusting the radial alignment
until the four locking dimples of the termination
are aligned with the inlets of the four incline
channels of the last vent section. Push the ter­mination down until it fully engages, then twist
the termination clockwise running the dimples
down and along the incline channels until they
seat at the end of the channels.

G. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined
sections—Continue with the installation of the

straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run
as described in Step C. Install support straps
every 3 ft (914 mm) along horizontal/inclined
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.

See Page 19, Figure 26. It is very important
that the horizontal/inclined run be maintained in

a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The
recommended incline is approximately 1/4" per
foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal, in a direction
away from the fireplace. The rise per foot run
ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the way
down to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level
to measure from a constant surface and adjust
the support straps as necessary.

It is important to maintain the required clear­ances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all sides
for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the
top, 1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at
the bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.

H. Frame roof opening—Identify location for
vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per
Roof Framing Chart (Figure 20).

I. Install the roof flashing—Extend the vent
sections through the roof structure. Install the
roof flashing over the vent section and posi­tion such that the vent column rises vertically
(use carpenters level) (Figure 21). Nail along
perimeter to secure flashing or adjust roofing to
overlap the flashing edges at top and sides only
and trim where necessary. Seal the top and both
sides of the flashing with waterproof caulking.

J. Install the storm collar—Install the storm
collar, supplied with the flashing, over the vent/
flashing joint (see Figure 21). Loosen the storm
collar screw. Slide collar down until it meets
the top of the flashing. Tighten the adjusting
screw. Apply non-combustible caulking or
mastic around the circumference of the joint
to provide a water tight seal.

If the vent system extends more than 5 feet (1.5
m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be
necessary. Additional screws may be used at
section joints for added stability. Guide wires
may be attached to the joint for additional sup­port on multiple joint configurations.

pipe applications are shown in these
Figures. A Horizontal Vent table summarizes
each system’s minimum and maximum vertical
and horizontal length values that can be used
to design and install the vent components in a
variety of applications.

The horizontal vent system terminates through
an outside wall. Building Codes limit or prohibit
terminating in specific areas. Refer to Figure 6

on Page 9 for location guidelines.
Secure Vent SV8 direct-vent system compo-

nents are unitized concentric pipe components
featuring positive twist lock connection, (refer
to Figure 17 on Page 16). All of the appli­ances covered in this document are fitted with
collars having locking inclined channels. The
dimpled end of the vent components fit over
the appliance collar to create the positive twist
lock connection.

A. Plan the vent run.
Analyze the vent routing and determine the
types and quantities of sections required
4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm), 22-1/2" (572
mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181 mm) net
section lengths are available. It is recommended
that you plan the venting so that a joint does not
occur in the ceiling or roof joists. Allow for elbows
as indicated in Figure 20 on Page 17.

Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance
to combustibles on the vertical sections.
Clearances for the horizontal runs are; 3"
(76 mm) on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides, and
1" (25 mm) at the bottom.

B. Frame exterior wall opening—Locate the

center of the vent outlet on the exterior wall
according to the dimensions shown in Figure
11 on Page 10. Cut and/or frame an opening,
15" x 13" (381 mm x 330 mm) inside dimen­sions, with 9" above center and 7" below center.

C. Frame ceiling opening—If the vertical
route is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb line
to locate the center above the appliance. Cut
and/or frame an opening, 13" x 13" (330 mm x
330 mm) inside dimensions, about this center
(refer to Figure 17 on Page 16).

D. Attach vent components to appliance—To
attach a vent component to the appliance collar,
align the dimpled end over the collar, adjust­ing the radial alignment until the four locking
dimples are aligned with the inlets of the four
incline channels on the collar (refer to Figure

16 on Page 16).

Support the vertical portion of the venting system
every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fireplace vent outlet.

Figure 26—Typical Horizontal Vent Installation

Push the vent component against the collar
until it fully engages, then twist the component
clockwise, running the dimples down and along
the incline channels until they seat at the end of
the channels. The unitized design of the Secure
Vent components will engage and seal both the
inner and outer pipe elements with the same
procedure. Sealant and securing screws are
not required.

E. Attach vent components to each other—

Other vent sections may be added to the previ­ously installed section in accordance with the
requirements of the vent tables. To add another
vent component to a length of vent run, align
the dimpled end of the component over the
inclined channel end of the previously installed
section, adjusting the radial alignment until the
four locking dimples are aligned with the inlets
of the four incline channels of the previous
section. Push the vent component against the
previous section until it fully engages, then
twist the component clockwise running the
dimples down and along the incline channels
until they seat at the end of the channels. This

seating position is indicated by the alignment
of the arrow and dimple as shown in Figure

17 on Page 18.

F. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling—When
using Secure Vent, use SV8BF firestop/spacer
at ceiling joists. If there is living space above
the ceiling level, the firestop/ spacer must be
installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If
attic space is above the ceiling, the firestop/
spacer must be installed on the top side of
the joist. Route the vent sections through the
framed opening and secure the firestop/spacer
with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at
each corner.

Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm) clearance
to combustibles, framing members, and attic
or ceiling insulation when running vertical
chimney sections.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE

G. Support the vertical run sections—See

Step E on Page 18.

H. Change vent direction—At transition from or
to a horizontal/inclined run, install the SV8E45
and SV8E90 elbows in the same manner as the
straight vent sections. The elbows feature a twist
section to allow them to be routed about the
center axis of their initial collar section to align
with the required direction of the next vent run
element. Twist elbow sections in a clockwise

direction only so as to avoid the possibility
of unlocking any of the previously connected
vent sections (see Figure 17 on Page 18).

I. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined
sections—Continue with the installation of the

straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined
run as described in Step E on Page 16. Install
support straps every 3 feet (1914 mm) along
horizontal/inclined vent runs using conventional
plumber’s tape.

See Figure 26, It is very important that the

horizontal/inclined run be maintained in a
straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The
recommended incline is approximately 1/4"
per foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal, in a
direction away from the fireplace. The rise per
foot run ratios that are smaller are acceptable
all the way down to at or near level.

It is important to maintain the required clear­ances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all sides
for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the
top, 1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at
the bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.

Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a
constant surface and adjust the support straps
as necessary.

J. Assemble vent run to exterior wall—If not
previously measured, locate the center of the
vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening as
described in Step B on Page 19. Assemble the
vent system to point where the terminus of the
last section is within 5" (127 mm) to 8-1/2" (216
mm) inboard of the exterior surface to which
the SV8HTS termination is to be attached, see
Figure 29 and Table 9 on Page 21.

If the terminus of the last section is not within
this distance, use the telescopic vent section
SV8LA, as the last vent section. For wall thick­nesses greater than that shown in Figure 28,
refer to Table 9 on Page 21. This table lists
the additional venting components needed (in
addition to the termination and adaptor) for a
particular range of wall thicknesses.

K. Attach termination adaptor—Attach the
adaptor (adaptor—SV8RCH—provided with the
termination) to the vent section or telescoping
vent section), or elbow as shown in Figure 27
in the same manner as any SV vent component
(refer to Step E on Page 19).

L. Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall
—When using the square termination, install

SV8HF Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the
exterior side of the framing, long side up, with
the 3" spacer clearance at the top as shown in
Figure 27, and nail into place.

To help minimize water infiltration it
is recommended that the Firestop/

Figure 28—Wall Thickness and Horizontal Termination Requirements

Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather condi­tions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.

When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termination
where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow of cascading water

8-1/2", see Table 9

onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the possibility of cascading water
exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the water away from the termination cap
by using gutters or other means.

Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including the
use of silicone caulking where required.

Step 6. CONNECTING GAS LINE

All codes require a shut-off valve mounted in the
supply line. The orientation of the shut-off valve
should face the front. Figure 36 illustrates two
methods for connecting the gas supply. A Sedi­ment Trap is recommended to prevent moisture
and debris in gas line from damaging the valve.

The flex-line method is acceptable in the U.S.A.
where local codes permit, however, Canadian
requirements vary depending on locality. Instal­lation must be in compliance with local codes.
These appliances are equipped with a gas flex­line for use in connecting the unit to the gas
line. See Figure 36 for flex-line description. The
flex-line is rated for both natural and propane
gas. A manual shut off valve is also provided
with the flex-line.

The gas control valve is located on the right
side of the unit.

When using solid gas line connector, access
the valve by removing the front door assembly
on the valve access side and the access plate
(see Figure 37).

The electronic control valve has a 3/8" (10 mm)
NPT thread gas supply inlet.

Bring the shutoff valve on the end of the flex-line
over to the hard pipe and tighten with wrenches
from above through the firebox opening.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate
tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane ap­plications). It is recommended to seal around
the gas line to prevent cold air leakage.

TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS
(FACTORY AND FIELD):

WARNING

Never use an open flame to
check for leaks.

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a
gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble
leak solution).

NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an

effective leak test solution but it is not recom­mended, because the soap residue that is left
on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion
over time.

A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting

instructions label in the control compartment
or in the Care and Operation Instructions
manual).

B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas

leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles
are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
receiver or remote control to the “OFF” position.
Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection,
then retest as described above.

C. When the gas lines are tested and leak-free

be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.

D. Re-install the access plate, making certain the

gasket has not been damaged.

Step 7. CHECKING APPLIANCE
OPERATION

Turn on burner then observe the individual
tongues of flame on the burner. Make sure all
ports are open and producing flame evenly
across the burner. If any ports are blocked, or
partially blocked, clean out the ports.

With gas line installed run initial system check­out before closing up the front of the unit. Follow
the lighting instructions provided in the Care
and Operation Instructions manual.

NOTE: Lighting Instructions are also found on
the literature tag tied to the bracket above the
gas valve. To access the tag, reach into the
right side opening.

When first lighting the appliance, it will take a few
minutes for the line to purge itself of air. Once
purging is complete, the pilot and burner will
light and operate as indicated in the instruction
manual. Subsequent lighting of the appliance will
not require such purging. Inspect the pilot flame
(remove logs, if necessary, handling carefully).

Electronic Appliance Checkout

To light the burner, turn “ON” the optional remote
wall switch or turn the appliance mounted ON/
OFF switch to the “ON” position. Ensure the
igniter lights the pilot. The pilot flame should
engulf the flame sensor as shown in Figure 38.

Figure 36—Gas Connection

NOTE: The gas supply line must
be installed in accordance
with building codes by a quali­fied installer approved and/or
licensed as required by the
locality. In the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, installation
must be performed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter.

Step 8. INSTALL VOLCANIC STONE, GLOWING EMBERS, AND
LOGS (Traditional Only), or
GLASS MEDIA (Contemporary Only)

NOTE: If installing the Contemporary Burner/Floor Kit, skip
this step and instead refer to the instructions provided with
the kit.

WARNING

• DO NOT operate this appliance without the
required accessories properly installed:

- floor (log set or contemporary kit), and

- firebox liner panels (ceramic or porcelain).

WARNING

• DO NOT attempt to install the logs until the
appliance installation has been completed, the
gas line connected and tested for leaks and the
initial burner operation has been checked out.

The size and position of the log set was engineered

•
to give the appliance a safe, reliable and attractive
flame pattern. Any attempt to use a different log
set in the fireplace will void the warranty and will
result in incomplete combustion, sooting, and
poor flame quality.

Logs get very hot and will remain hot up to one

•
hour after gas supply is turned off. Handle only
when logs are cool. Turn off all electricity to the
appliance before you install grate, volcanic stone,
embers and logs.

This appliance is not designed to burn wood. Any

•
attempt to do so could cause irreparable damage to
the appliance and prove hazardous to your safety.

If logs are not installed according to the log

•
installation instructions, flame impingement and
improper combustion could occur and result in soot
and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide
(CO), a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.

Step 1. Install the ceramic or porcelain firebox liner panels per the

instructions provided in kit.

Step 2. Place volcanic stone around the burner (the entire bag of volcanic

stone will NOT be used). DO NOT PLACE VOLCANIC STONE ON

THE BURNER. See Figure 41.

Step 3. Separate the glowing embers (rockwool) into pieces about the

size of a quarter (see Figure 39). Keep the pieces fluffed, not
matted. Distribute these pieces over the burner as shown in Figure

40. Do not use more than necessary. When properly positioned,
the Glowing Embers will cover approximately 75% of the burner
on natural gas. For propane gas, do not place embers on main
ports.

NOTE: Excessive use of embers may result in sooting or poor flame.
This appliance is provided with enough Glowing Embers for several ap­plications, do not feel compelled to use all that is in a new bag. For best
glowing effect, replace the ember material annually. Replacement Glowing
Embers are available (Catalog Number 88L53).

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE

Step 4. Position the individual logs as shown in Figures 42 through 46.

Logs should be placed in the order shown. Place logs 2 and 3
against the pins on the grate, NOT over them.

Proper log and twig placement is critical to encourage outstand-

ing flame appearance and prevent sooting. When positioned
properly as shown, twigs will be positioned between flame
peaks and will not impinge any flames.

Step 10. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

Flame Appearance and sooting

Proper flame appearance is a flame which is
blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange
in the body of the flame. When the appliance is
first lit, the entire flame may be blue and will
gradually turn yellowish-orange during the first
15 minutes of operation. After 15 minutes of
operation, if the flame is blue, or if the flame is
orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the
air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.

If the air shutter opening is closed too far,
sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by
black puffs developing at the tips of very long
orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits
forming on the logs, appliance inside surfaces
and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent
termination.

Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion
in the flames and lack of combustion air enter­ing the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm
yellowish-orange flame with an orange body
that does not soot, the shutter opening must be
adjusted between these two extremes.

Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines

• If there is smoke or soot present, first check
the log set positioning to ensure that the
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.
If the log set is properly positioned and a
sooting condition still exists, then the air
shutter opening should be increased.

• The more offsets in the vent system, the larger
the air shutter opening will need to be.

• An appliance operated with the air shutter
opened too far, may have flames that appear
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent flames are termed anemic.

• Propane models may exhibit flames which
candle or appear stringy. If this is present an d

Burn-in Period

During the first few fires of this appliance there
will be some odor due to the curing of the
paint and burning off of lubricants used in the
manufacturing process. Depending on your
use, the burn-in period may take a few hours
or a few days.

KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED
DURING THE CURING PROCESS. THE ODOR
AND HAZE EMITTED DURING THE CURING
PROCESS CAN BE QUITE NOTICEABLE AND
MAY SET OFF A SMOKE DETECTOR.

NOTICE: A white film may develop

on the glass enclosure panel during
the first few fires as part of the burn-in
process.

The first few times you use the

MAINTENANCE

(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 51)

Refer to the maintenance schedule for maintenance
tasks, procedures, frequency and by whom they
should be performed. Always verify proper opera­tion of the appliance after servicing.

WARNING

Turn off gas and electrical power
to the fireplace and allow it to
cool before cleaning or servicing
the appliance.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses
for protection while doing required main­tenance.

Verify proper operation after servicing.
S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne adé-

quatement une fois l'entretien terminé.
Always turn off the gas before cleaning.

Before re-lighting, refer to the lighting
instructions in this manual. Instructions
are also found on a pull-out panel located
in the control compartment.

Always keep the appliance area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable liquids.

Inspect Venting System

The appliance and venting system should be
thoroughly inspected before initial use and
at least annually by a qualified service techni­cian (inspection should include ensuring that
exhaust or intake passages are unobstructed
and vent components are properly assembled
and not damaged). Homeowner must contact

a qualified service technician at once if any
abnormal condition is observed.

If the venting system is disassembled for any
reason, a qualified service technician should
follow vent installation instructions for proper
reassembly and proper sealing of the venting
system components. However, more frequent
periodic inspections and cleanings should be
performed by the homeowner.

Glass Cleaning

(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and
Installation on Page 41).

NOTE: Clean glass after first two weeks of
operation (after Burn-In period is over) and then
only when necessary and when the fireplace is
cool. Wipe surface with a clean, dampened, soft
cloth. Follow with a dry, soft towel as desired.
Take care not to scratch the glass surface.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners
on glass. Never clean the glass when it
is hot.

40

The viewing glass should be cleaned periodi­cally to remove any build-up caused from the
following:

• During start-up, it is normal for condensa­tion to form on the inside of the glass (this
condensation and fog will usually disappear
in a few minutes). The moisture can cause
lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling
to the glass surface.

• Initial curing of the high temperature paint
and burning off of lubricants used in the
manufacturing process may result in a film
on the glass.

• A white coating may form on the glass as a
result of impurities and minerals in the fuel.

It is recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times during each heating season,
depending on the circumstances present. The
following cleaning solutions are approved for
use to clean glass:

• Non-ammonia based household cleaner

• Gas fireplace/stove glass cleaner

Inspect Glass Gasket—Visually inspect the

gasket on the backside of the glass enclosure
panels. The gasket surface must be clean, free
of irregularities and seated firmly.

Clean Control Compartment

Keep control compartment clean by vacuuming
or brushing at least twice a year. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It is
important that control compartments, burners
and circulating air passageways of the appliance
be kept clean.

Clean Logs and Burner

Carefully remove the logs (use care when han­dling the fiber logs, as they become quite fragile
after curing). Vacuum out any foreign matter
(lint, carbon, etc.) on the burner. Ensure the
burner ports are “open.” Remove any carbon
deposits from the under side of the logs using
a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristled brush (i.e.
paint brush).

NOTE: Improper positioning of logs can create
carbon build-up and will alter the performance
of the appliance.

Replacing Logs

If the logs become damaged by accident or
improper handling and need replacement, use
only the proper replacement logs from manu­facturer (see Page 46 for ordering information).

Reinstall Embers, Volcanic Stone and
Logs

Carefully follow placement instructions on
Pages 42 and 43. All logs should fit onto cor­responding pins and/or log stoppers. This will
ensure a proper flame and safe combustion.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE

NOTE: If installing the Contemporary Burner/
Floor Kit, skip this step and instead refer to the
instructions provided with the kit.

Inspect Wiring

Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 46.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to discon­nection when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.

ATTENTION: Au moment de l'entretien
des commandes, étiquetez tous les fils
avant de les débrancher. Des erreurs
de cáblage peuvent entraîner un fonc­tionnement inadéquat et dangereux.

Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure
that there is no melting or damage. Inspection
should include:

• Terminals at the Valve

• Wall OFF/ON Switch

Low Battery Power Detection

The life span of the remote control system
batteries depends on these factors:

• the quality of the batteries used

• the number of appliance ignitions

When the batteries are low, the receiver will emit
two (2) “beeps” (low battery alert) every time
it receives a command from the transmitter.

After the batteries are replaced it will emit
one (1) “beep” when a command is sent
by pressing any key on the transmitter. See
"Initialization of The System" located in the
Installation Instructions.

Inspect Burner Flame and Pilot Flame
Appearance

Periodically do a visual check of the burner
flame and the pilot flame. Ensure that the
burner flame appearance resembles the flame
shown in Figures 71 and 72 and as described
in Flame Appearance and Sooting on Page

44. Refer to Figure 73 on Page 45 for more
information about the pilot flame appearance.
Contact a qualified service technician at once
if any abnormal condition is observed.

Small Area Paint Touch-up

Only use a factory supplied paint kit for touch­ups. Paint is available at your local Innovative
Hearth Products dealer. Never attempt to paint
a hot fireplace.

Do not attempt to repaint the appliance until the
finish is completely cured (see Burn-In Period
on Page 38). If the surface later becomes
stained or marred, it can be lightly sanded and
touched up with spray paint (see Page 40).

BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

Flame Appearance and Sooting

Proper flame appearance is a flame which is
blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange

in the body of the flame.

When the appliance is first lit, the entire flame
may be blue and will gradually turn yellowish­orange during the first 15 minutes of operation.
If the flame remains blue, or if the flame is
orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the
air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.

If the air shutter opening is closed too far,
sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by
black puffs developing at the tips of very long
orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits
forming on the logs, appliance inside surfaces
and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent
termination.

Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion
in the flames and lack of combustion air enter­ing the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm
yellowish-orange flame with an orange body
that does not soot, the shutter opening must be
adjusted between these two extremes.

WARNING

• Air shutter adjustment should
only be performed by a
qualified professional service
technician.

• Ensure that the front glass
door assembly is in place
and sealed After adjustment.

CAUTION

Soot will be produced if the
air shutter is closed too much.
Any damage due to carboning
resulting from improperly
setting the air shutter is not

To adjust the flame, rotate the air shutter toward
the back or toward the front of the fireplace.
Position the air shutter to the factory setting
as shown in Figure 73. Allow the burner to
operate for at least 15 minutes. Observe the
flame. If it appears weak or sooty as previously
described, adjust the air shutter until the flame
appearance is as desired.
