PRODUCT FEATURES

These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your direct-vent ﬁreplace:

• The venting system may be routed to the outside of your home in

several ways. It may vent through the roof (vertical) or it may vent to an outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The vent pipe installation is very important to allow for proper operation. You must follow the venting instructions very carefully for either vertical or horizontal applications.

Flue Collar

Nailing Flange

• This ﬁreplace may be installed in any room of your house provided all local codes and these installation instructions are followed.

• Each time you turn on your ﬁreplace, you may notice some amount of condensation on the inside of the ﬁreplace glass. This is normal and will disappear after 10-20 minutes of operation.

• Your direct-vent gas ﬁreplace system (ﬁreplace and venting) is a balanced and sealed gas operating unit. It requires approximately 10-20 minutes of operating time before the ﬂame pattern stabilizes.

Superiorﬁreplaces.US.com 126718-01_G8

PRE-INSTALLATION

LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efﬁcient location for your direct-vent ﬁreplace. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. Be aware of all restrictions and precautions before deciding the exact location for your ﬁreplace and termination cap.

When deciding the location of your ﬁreplace, follow these rules:

• Do not connect this ﬁreplace venting to a chimney ﬂue serving a separate solid-fuel burning ﬁreplace or appliance.

• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this ﬁreplace in high trafﬁc areas, windy or drafty areas or near furniture or draperies.

• Proper clearances must be maintained.

• If your ﬁreplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the ﬁreplace (see Figure 6, page 11).

• If standoff spacers are attached to your ﬁreplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing material. See framing details, page 10.

• When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 7, page 12.

• Do not recess termination cap into a wall or siding.

• You may paint the termination cap with 450º F (232º C) heatresistant paint to coordinate with the exterior ﬁnish.

• There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24" from the front of the termination cap and the front of outside air vent.

• Do not locate termination cap and outside air vent where excessive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination area after snow falls to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards vent termination area.

CLEARANCES

Minimum clearances to combustibles for the ﬁreplace are as follows: *Back and sides 1" (26 mm)

Perpendicular walls 8" (204 mm) Floor (From bottom of Fireplace) 0" (0 mm) Ceiling (From bottom of Fireplace) 63" (1601 mm)

Top of Enclosure

(From bottom of Fireplace) 63" (1601 mm) Top of Standoffs 0" (0 mm) Vent 1" (26 mm) (See venting instructions for speciﬁc venting clearances.) * For back and sides of ﬁreplace, do not pack with insulation or other materials.

NOTICE: This ﬁreplace is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this ﬁreplace along with your primary heating system. Do not install this ﬁreplace as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using ﬁreplace. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house.

FRAMING AND FINISHING Choose framing application accordingly. Figure 2, page 10 shows

typical one sided framing. Figure 3, page 10 shows framing for see-thru installation. Note: Kits F2312 and F2313 are required for

see-thru application (See upgrading DRL4543 to indoor/outdoor see-thru application, page 30).

All minimum clearances must be met. Vent pipe needs to maintain 1" clearance. Steel framing may be necessary or wood studs may be notched. Concrete board is provided for facing around the ﬁreplace as shown in Figure 4, page 10.

If you are using a separate combustible mantel piece, refer to Figure 5, page 10 for proper installation height. You can install noncombustible mantels at any height above the ﬁreplace.

NOTE: To avoid heat-related ﬁnish damage, we recommend the use of high temperature paint (rated 175° F or higher) on the underside of the mantel.

VENTING INSTALLATION

NOTICE: Read these instructions completely before attempting installation.

These models are tested and approved for use with an IHP (directvent) pipe components and terminations.

The venting system must terminate on the outside of the structure and can not be attached to a chimney or ﬂue system serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. A direct-vent appliance must have its own venting system. DO NOT common vent this appliance.

These models are approved to be vented either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through a roof or chase enclosure using the following guidelines:

• When venting system terminates horizontally on an outside wall, you may install a standoff if the termination cap is to be installed directly on a combustible ﬁnish such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.

• Never run the vent downward as this may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a ﬁre.

• Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal sections, which requires 2" clearance from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.

• Have ﬁreplace and selected vent components on hand to help determine the exact measurements when elbowing or offsetting. Always use wall ﬁrestops when penetrating walls and ﬁrestops when penetrating ceilings or attic spaces.

• For installation of ﬁreplace at elevations of 4000 feet or greater, pay special attention to venting requirement recommendations.

WARNING: This gas ﬁreplace and vent assembly must be vented directly to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each directvent gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not use common vent systems.

WARNING: Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal sections, which require 2" clearances from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.

WARNING: Read all instructions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life.

NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will void the warranty.

NOTICE: Do not seal termination cap to vent pipe. Cap must be removable for vent inspection and maintenance.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection

• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on roof tops

• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings The following actions will void the warranty on your venting system:

• Installation of any damaged venting component

• Unauthorized modiﬁcation of the venting system (Do not cut or alter vent components)

• Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by IHP

• Installation other than as instructed by these instructions

INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:

• Horizontal Termination

• Vertical Termination

Installing the Horizontal Termination Vent System

These instructions should be used as a guideline and do not supersede local codes in any way. Install venting 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 in Canada.

Ensure clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier. Horizontal vent systems terminate through an outside wall. Building Codes limit or prohibit terminating in speciﬁc areas (Figure 7, page 12).

Figure 8 - Typical Horizontal Vent Installation

1. Analyze the vent route and determine the number of vent

sections and elbows required—Plan the venting so that a

joint does not occur in the ceiling or roof joists. Maintain the minimum clearances for combustibles (Page 9).

2. Frame the exterior wall opening—Locate the center of the

vent outlet on the exterior wall. Cut and/ or frame an opening, 10 1/2 x 12 1/8” (267 x 308 mm) inside dimensions, about this center.

3. Frame the ceiling opening—If the vertical route is to pen-

etrate a ceiling, use plumb line to locate the center above the fireplace. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10 1/2 x 10 1/2” (267 x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about this center (Figure 17, page 19).

4. Attach the vent components to the fireplace—See Con-

necting the vent pipe on Page 17.

5. Attach the vent components to each other—See Connecting

the vent pipe on Page 17.

6. Install the firestop/spacer at the ceiling—When using

Rigid Pipe, use SV4.5VF 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. Maintain 1” (26 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation when running vertical chimney sections.

7. Support fireplace vent outlet with field provided support straps (Plumber’s tape)—Attach the straps to the vent pipe

and secure to the framing members with nails or screws (Figure 8).

8. Change vent direction—At transition from or to a horizontal/inclined run, install SV4.5E45 or SV4.5E90 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 (Figure 13, page 17).

Superiorﬁreplaces.US.com 126718-01_G14

VENTING INSTALLATION Continued

9. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined sections—

Continue with the installation of the straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run. Install support straps every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape (Figure 8, page 14). Maintain the horizontal/inclined run in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The recommended incline is approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m) horizontal, in a direction away from the fireplace. Smaller rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a constant surface and adjust the support straps as necessary. Maintain the required clearances to combustibles (Page 9).

10. Assemble the vent run to the exterior wall—If not previ-

ously measured, locate the center of the vent at the exterior wall. Prepare the opening. Assemble the vent system until the terminus of the last section is within 7” (178 mm) to 11 1/4” (286 mm) inboard of the exterior surface to which the SV4.5 HT termination is to be attached (Figure 9). If the terminus of the last section is not within this distance, use the telescopic vent section SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. Table 1, page 16 lists the additional venting components needed (in addition to the termination and adaptor) for a range of wall thicknesses.

11. Attach the termination adaptor—Attach the adaptor

(SV4.5RCH, provided with the termination) to the vent section or telescoping vent section, elbow or fireplace collar (Figure 9).

12. Install the firestop/spacer at the exterior wall—When us-

ing the square termination, install SV4.5HF Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exterior side of the framing, long side up, with the 3” spacer clearance at the top (Figure 9) and nail into place.

NOTE: The firestop/spacer may also be installed over the opening at the interior side of the framing.

13. Install the termination (SV4.5HTKCT)—From outside the exterior wall, slide the collars of the termination onto the adaptor (the outer over the outer and the inner inside the inner) until the termination seats against the exterior wall surface to which it will be attached. Orient the housing of the termination with the arrow pointed upwards. Secure the termination to the exterior wall. The horizontal termination must not be recessed into the exterior wall or siding by more than the 1 1/4” (32 mm) (Figure 10, page 16).

NOTE: The vent termination is hot while in operation and for a period of time following the use of the fireplace. To prevent contact with hot surfaces, use a horizontal termination guard; available for purchase at your local dealer.

The 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 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.

NOTE: To help minimize water infiltration install the firestop/spacer (SV4.5HF) on the exterior side of the wall..

To help minimize water

VENTING INSTALLATION Continued

Install the Vertical Termination Vent System

Ensure clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier.

Vertical vent systems terminate through the roof. The minimum vent height above the roof and/or adjacent walls is speciﬁed in ANSI Z223.1 (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 (see Figure 22, page 21).

The following ﬁgures and their associated vertical vent tables illustrate the various conﬁgurations that are possible for use with these ﬁreplaces.

Vertical (Straight) Installation

1. Determine the number of straight vent sections required. See Effective Vent Length on table 2, Page 16 for more information. Plan the vent lengths so that a joint does not occur at the intersection of ceiling or roof joists.

SV4.5CGV-1

3. Attach the vent components to the fireplace—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 17.

4. Attach the vent components to each other—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 17.

5. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling—Use SV4.5VF 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” (26 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation when running vertical chimney sections. The gap between the vent pipe and a vertical firestop can be sealed with non-combustible caulking.

6. Support the vertical vent run sections—Support the vertical portion of the venting system every 8 ft (2.4 m) above the fireplace vent outlet. One method of support is by utilizing field provided support straps (conventional plumber’s tape). Secure the plumber’s tape to the framing members with nails or screws. Loop 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 (Figure 18, page 20).

10. 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). 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.

11. Install the storm collar—Install the storm collar, supplied with the flashing, over the vent/flashing joint (Figure 20). 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.

7. Change vent direction of horizontal/inclined run—Install

the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbows in the same manner as the straight vent sections. See Vent elbows on Page 17 for more information.

8. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined sections—Con-

tinue with the installation of the straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run. Install support straps every 5 ft (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape. Rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to level. For best results, maintain the horizontal/ inclined run in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane of approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m). Maintain the required clearances to combustibles (Page 9).

9. Frame the roof opening—Identify the location for the vent

at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening (Figure 19).

Align the termination over the end of the previously installed section, adjusting the radial alignment until the four (4) locking dimples of the termination are aligned with the inlets of the four (4) 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. If the vent system extends more than 5 ft (1.5 m) above the roof ﬂashing, stabilizers may be necessary. Additional screws may be used at section joints for added stability. Guide wires or roof support assemblies may be attached to the joint for additional support on multiple joint conﬁgurations.

VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL VENTING USING SECURE FLEX KITS AND COMPONENTS

Secure Flex venting kits and components may be used in any other vent installation where rigid Secure Vent® (SV4.5) direct-vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances pertaining to rigid vent also apply to ﬂexible vent. Do NOT modify Secure Flex kits . Also, do NOT join separate sections of ﬂex vent together. Secure Flex kits can be installed on the end of a Secure Vent (SV4.5) rigid vent run, provided that doing so does not violate any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements, or clearance considerations detailed in this manual.

Secure Flex kits come with an included adaptor that can be installed on the ﬁreplace collar or the inclined channel end of the last Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent section in a rigid system in the exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent section. Align the dimpled end of the adaptor over the previously installed section or ﬁreplace collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples of the adaptor are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of the last vent section or collar. Push on the adaptor until it is fully engaged, then twist the adaptor clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

Apply ONLY MIL-PAC BLACK SEALANT (P/N 10K81) to the outside surface of both collars of the adaptor (ﬁll the grooves of the outer collar to be covered by the ﬂexible pipe) and slide the ﬂexible vent over the inner and outer adaptor collars

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

6. Install three (3) screws 120° apart through the ﬂexible vent and into the adaptor collar just below the gear clamp to provide additional security to the connection.

• Route the ﬂexible vent.

NOTE: Ensure that the ﬂexible vent is properly routed to provide the required clearance. Do NOT allow the ﬂexible vent to bend in a radius tighter than 5” (127 mm) (Figure 26, page

23). Place the internal ﬂexible vent spacers evenly and avoid kinking the inner vent. Support horizontal sections of ﬂexible vent with metal straps at 2 ft (0.61 m) intervals.

• Install ﬁrestop/spacers at ceiling and wall penetrations.

• SF4.5VF ﬁrestop/spacer for ceilings

• SF4.5HF ﬁrestop/spacer for walls NOTE: See the appropriate sections and ﬁgures shown

throughout the venting section for installation requirements.

• Attach the ﬂexible vent to the termination.

NOTE: Secure Flex® components can be purchased separately and attached to bulk lengths of Secure Flex ﬂexible vent cut to size at the job site. Attach the ﬂexible vent to the Secure Flex terminations as it was attached to the adaptor (Figure 25, page 23).

NOTE: Attach Secure Flex vent to Secure Flex terminations only. Do NOT substitute Secure Vent® terminations or Secure Vent adaptor for Secure Flex components. Secure Flex termination and adaptor collars are a different circumference than Secure Vent collars. Secure Flex vent has an longer center tube to improve ease-of-installation.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the ﬁreplace unit you are installing. If you have conﬂicting gas types, do not install ﬁreplace. See retailer where you purchased the ﬁreplace for proper ﬁreplace according to your gas type.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

WARNING: A qualiﬁed service person must con-

nect ﬁreplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect ﬁreplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the ﬁreplace and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: For natural gas, never connect ﬁreplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing ﬁreplace, make sure you have the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved ﬂexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes)

* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff valve from your retailer.

For propane/LP connection only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of w.c. pressure. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, ﬁreplace regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 27, page 25. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to ﬁreplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from ﬁreplace (see Figure 28, page 25).

IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant

to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 28. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and ﬁreplace. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into ﬁreplace gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, ﬁreplace may not run properly.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ﬂame pattern and burner ﬂame patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper ﬂame. Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. The pilot is located on right hand side of burner.

The ﬂame must envelope 1/4" of top of the Igniter/sensor and grounding stem.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:

• Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase the ﬂame to proper size (see Figure

48). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

• See Troubleshooting, page 40

BURNER FLAME APPEARANCE AND SOOTING

The ﬂame should be blue at the base, and yellow-orange in the body of the ﬂame. When the ﬁreplace is ﬁrst lit, the entire ﬂame may be blue and will gradually turn yellow-orange 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, ﬁreplace 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 yellow-orange ﬂame with an orange body that does not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted between these two extremes.

If burner ﬂame pattern differs from that described:

• Turn ﬁreplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance), page 32

• See Troubleshooting, page 40

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off ﬁreplace and let cool before

cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulating air passageways of ﬁreplace clean. Inspect these areas of ﬁreplace before each use. Have ﬁreplace inspected yearly by a qualiﬁed service person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOORS

WARNING: Handle glass door panels with care. Do not strike, slam or otherwise abuse glass. Do not operate ﬁreplace with the glass door unlatched, removed, cracked or broken.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household glass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial start-up a slight ﬁlm may form on the glass due to paint curing. The glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the ﬁrst two weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during each heating season, depending on the usage and circumstances present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 27 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.

Use only glass door replacement intended for this ﬁreplace (see Replacement Parts, page 46 for detail on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 27 for instructions for replacing glass doors.

WARNING: Do not operate ﬁreplace with glass door

unlatched, removed, cracked or broken.

PILOT AND BURNERS

• Remove material before cleaning burners and replace when cleaning is complete.

• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to remove dust, dirt or lint.

• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove excess dust, dirt or lint.

VENTING SYSTEM

Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these guidelines:

1. Check areas of venting system that are exposed to the weather

for corrosion (rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes). Have these items replaced immediately by a qualiﬁed service person.

2. Remove the vent cap and shine a ﬂashlight into the vent. Remove

any foreign material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous con-

densation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes and ﬁttings and can be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or ﬁtting has been

disturbed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such as wall straps for rigidity.

WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer should be used when replacing broken or damaged glass door panels (see Replacement Parts, page 46). Glass door panel are complete units. No substitute materials may be used.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses while handling or removing broken glass. Do not remove if glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.

If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 27). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vacuum.

Superiorﬁreplaces.US.com126718-01_G 35

REPLACING LIGHT BULBS

1. Unplug power

2. Remove access door (see Figure 43, page 29).

3. Remove glass door (see Figure 35, page 27).

4. Remove rear interior wall (see Figure 40, page 29).

5. Remove six screws holding pebble pan.

6. Using a small slotted screwdriver, carefully slide it under edge of light cover and pry it open.

7. Pull bulb out carefully and replace with bulb G9 120V/20W.

8. To replace, follow steps in the reverse order.

GAS CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM

The module has 2 special features built into the system.

Continuous Pilot Feature

This allows the change from a spark to pilot system to a standing pilot system.

1. There is a switch located on the right side of the module that reads CONTINUOUS PILOT ON/OFF. This switch selects the pilot's mode of operation (Figure 49).

2. When the continuous pilot switch is in the OFF position and the appliance rocker switch is turned ON, the pilot will spark and light. When the appliance rocker switch is turned OFF, the pilot will shut OFF when the main burner shuts OFF.

3. When the continuous pilot switch is in the ON position and the appliance rocker switch is turned ON, the pilot will spark and light. When the appliance rocker switch is turned OFF, the pilot will stay ON when the main burner shuts OFF.
