IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from from parts before turning the fire­place ON. It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine. It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
­and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated-open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least ten four (4) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

Hearth
A hearth is not mandatory but is recommended for aesthetic purposes. We recommend a noncombustible hearth which projects out 12” (305mm) or more from the front of the fireplace.
Cold climate installation recommendation:
When installing this unit against a non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is mandatory that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes.
NOTE: Never allow vapor barrier to contact the outer casing of this fireplace or venting.
Framing and Finishing
1. Choose the unit location.
2. Place the unit into position and secure it to the floor with 1¹⁄₂” (38mm) screws, or nails. The holes to secure the unit to the floor are located just behind the access door grille on the left and right side of the unit.
3. Frame in the fireplace with a header across the top. It is important to allow for the finished wall face when setting the depth of the frame.
4. Attach the fireplace to the frame using the adjust able frame drywall strips (located behind the access door for shipping). Preset the depth to suit the facing material of the wall. The strips are adjustable to 1/2” (13 mm), 5/8” (16 mm) or 3/4” (19 mm). (Fig. 4)
5. Screw through the slotted holes in the drywall strip and into the pre-drilled holes in the fireplace side. Measure from the face of the fireplace to the face of the drywall strip to confirm the final depth.

Gas Line Installation
When purging gas line, the front window frame assembly must be removed.
1. The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the fireplace as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas con­nection. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the rear right side of the valve as this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with prop
erly tinned 3/8” copper tubing, 3/8” rigid pipe or an approved flex connector. Since some municipali­ties have additional local codes, it is always best to con- sult your local authority and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or the CSA-B149.1 installation codes.
*Adhere to the following installation requirements in the State
of Massachusetts:
The installer must be a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
Flex connectors must be Massachusetts approved, cannot
exceed 36” (914 mm) in length, must be a minimum 1/2” dia. and may not penetrate a wall.
1/2” Gas Supply
1/2” NPT X 3/8” Flare Shut-off Valve
-
5. For natural gas, a minimum of 3/8” iron pipe with a gas supply pressure of 4.5” w.c. (from the gas me­ter). Consult with local gas utility and ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 if any questions arise concerning pipe sizes.
6. Turn the gas supply to ‘ON’ and check for leaks. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR THIS PURPOSE. Use an approved leak testing solution.
7. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5K Pa).
8. This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to 1/2 psig (3.5K Pa).
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so that the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing . See gas specifications for pressure details and ratings.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.
3/8” Flex line (from valve)
FP297A
Fig. 5 Typical gas supply installation.
2. The gas control inlet is 3/8” NPT. typical installation layout for rigid pipe is shown in Figure 8.
NOTE: All models are equipped with a flex tube
with a shut off valve having a 1/2” NPT inlet. The flex line with shut off is shipped in the control valve compartment. Using two wrenches, tight­en the flexible tube at the shut off valve and at the gas control
3. When using a flex connector,* use only approved fittings. When a union is installed, provide easy access in its placement for servicing. Refer to gas specification for pressure details and ratings.
4. When a vertical section of gas pipe is required for the installation, a condensation trap is needed. In Canada see CSA-B149.1 for code details. See the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA.
EB-1 Electrical Box
The fireplace, when installed, must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the ab­sence of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.
For USA installations follow local codes and the national electrical code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70.
It is strongly suggested that the wiring of the EB-1 Electrical Junction Box be carried out by a licensed electrician.
Ensure that the power to the supply line has been disconnected before commenc­ing this procedure.

Twist Lock Pipes
When using CFM Corporation twist-lock pipe it is not necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas of the venting system that need to be sealed with high temperature silicone sealant are the collars on the fireplace and termination, and the sliding joint of any telescopic vent section used in the system.
To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads of the male end with the grooves of the female end, then while bringing the ends together, twist the pipe until the flange on the female end contacts the external flange on the male end. It is recommended that you secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws, however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe.
To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.

Sidewall vent graph showing the relationship between vertical
and horizontal dimensions for a Direct Vent flue system.
Fig. 10 Sidewall venting graph. (Dimensions in feet)
relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 10), locate the point intersecting with the slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the fireplace in accordance with same.
Example A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace is 11’ (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 14’ (4.3 m).
Example B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7’ (2.14 m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6 m).

Rear Wall Vent Application
When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall behind the appliance.
Only CFM Corporation venting components are
approved to be used in these applications (See ‘Venting Components’ listed for different installation requirements).
The maximum horizontal distance between the rear
of the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a corner application) and the outside face of the rear wall is 20” (508 mm). (Fig. 11, 12)
Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com-
bustible materials are as follows:
Top - 2” (51 mm) Sides - 1” (25 mm) Bottom - 1” (25 mm)

Step 1
Locate and cut the vent opening in the wall. For com­bustible walls first frame in opening. (Fig. 13)
NOTE: When using flex vent, the opening will have to be measured according to the 1/2” (13 mm) rise in 12” (305mm) vertical run.
Combustible Walls:
Cut a 10³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈” W (265 x 240 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as shown. (Fig. 13)
Noncombustible Walls:
Hole opening should be 7¹⁄₂
(191 mm) diameter.
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for combustible walls.
Step 2
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length (Maximum 12” / 305 mm). As­semble sleeve to its maximum opening (10³⁄₈” x 9³₈”) and attach to firestop assembly. (Fig. 14)
Step 3
Measure the horizontal length requirement for the vent­ing including a 2” (51 mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow to the outside wall face plus 2” (51 mm). (Fig. 12)

Step 4
Install the 4” (102 mm) vent to the appliance collar and secure with 3 sheet metal screws. Install the 7” (178 mm) vent pipe to the appliance collar and secure with 3 sheet metal screws. It is not necessary to seal this con­nection. If a 45° elbow is being used attach the elbow to the appliance in the same manner then attach the venting to the elbow.
It is critical that there is no downward slope away from the appliance when con­necting the vent or elbow.
Step 5
Guide the venting through the vent hole as you place the appliance in its installed position. Guide the 4” (102 mm) and 7” (178 mm) collar of the vent termination into the outer ends of the venting. Do not force the termina­tion. If the vent pipes do not align with the termination, remove and realign the venting at the appliance flue collars. (Fig. 15) Attach the termination to the wall as outlined in the instruction sheet supplied with the termi­nation.

Appliance Collars
Since it is very important that the vent­ing system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.
The Vent Graph shows the relationship between verti­cal and horizontal side wall venting and will help to determine the various dimensions allowable.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is 1”(25mm) on top, bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations less than 20” below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the siding. It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to the face of the outer wall.
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this portion of the vent assembly.
FP1473
Fig. 16 Grasp the vent pipe close to the collar and bend to 45° angle. Do not exceed 45°.
NOTE: There must be a 1/2” (13 mm) rise in a 12” (305 mm) length of flex vent. (Minimum 1” (25 mm) rise.)
Step 4
Assemble the flex vent to the collars on the termination as you did on the appliance.
14
The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 ft. (6.1 m)
when the vertical vent rise is 7¹⁄₂ ft. (2.3 m). (Fig. 18)
The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall
installation is three (3).
If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run
(level height maintained) the maximum horizontal vent length is reduced by 36” (914 mm). (Fig. 19) This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise. (Fig. 20)
Example: According to the chart the maximum
horizontal vent length in a system with a 7.5’ (2.3 m) vertical rise is 20’ (6 m) and if a 90° elbow is required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17’ (5.2 m). In Figure 19 Dimension A plus B must not be greater than 17’ (5.2 m).

The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per
side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run,
the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18” (45cm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system
is 270°. (Fig. 21)

Step 6
Be sure to follow the 1” (25 mm) rise in a 24” (610 mm) horizontal run rule. Trim off excess vent material, then install the 4” flex to the flue collar and the 7” flex to the appliance collar. Secure venting with band clamps pro­vided. Refer to Page 11, Figure 8.
Below Grade Installations
When it is not possible to meet the required vent ter­minal clearances of 12” (305 mm) above grade level a snorkel vent kit is recommended. It allows installation depth of down to 7” (178 mm) below grade level. The 7” is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage.
Ensure sidewall venting clearances are observed.
If installing a snorkel a minimum 24” (610 mm) vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24” (610 mm) vertical pipe is 36” (914 mm). This measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. Refer to the Sidewall Vent Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical rise exceeds 24” (610 mm).
1. Establish vent hole through the wall. (Page 16, Fig.
22)
2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16” (406 mm) below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well (not supplied). Refill hole with 12” (305 mm) of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approxi­mately 4” (102 mm) below snorkel. (Fig. 30)
3. Install vent system.
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe coming through the wall.
5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied) around the 4” and 7 “ snorkel collars.
6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the wall.
7. Level the soil to maintain a 4” (102 mm) clearance below snorkel. (Fig. 30)

Glass Cleaning
It is necessary to periodically clean the glass. During start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass. This condensation causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface.
Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-ammonia based household cleaner and warm water (We recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner) within the first few weeks of operation.
After the initial cleaning process the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each operating season depending on the environment in the house.
Clean the glass after the first two weeks of operation.
Do not clean glass when hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Do not strike or slam glass.

Unit Adjustment
Once installed, the unit should be operated at least three (3) times to ensure that all is in working order. NOTE: Manufacturing oils will smoke during initial firing of appliance. Open windows for ventilation.
Before leaving, the installer should make the following checks:
Btu Input/Gas Pressure
The fireplace input is marked on the Rating Plate. The gas inlet pressure specified in Table 1 is the pressure where the field-installed gas line connects to the gas control. This is measured at the inlet test port (1/8” NPT plugged port) on the gas valve in the appliance. Ensure that pressure is as shown in Table 1.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator built into the gas control and should be checked at the pressure outlet test port located on the body of the gas valve.
The pressure should be checked with the appliance burning on high (highest setting) and all other gas appli­ances turned on. One must then read the manometer and if pressures are not as specified in Table 1, then the inlet pressure must be adjusted.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 KPa).
Pressure ranges are as listed below:
Table 1
Gas Supply Pressure (inches w.c.)
Minimum Normal Maximum Natural Gas 4.5” 7.0” 14.0” LP (Propane) 10.8” 11.0” 14.0” Manifold Pressure (inches w.c.)
Normal (HI) Normal (Low)
Natural Gas 3.5” 1.6” LP (Propane) 10.0” 6.3”
High Altitude
When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 0 and 2000 feet (0 - 610 m) in the USA and 0 and 4500 feet (0 - 1370 m) in Canada the input rating does not need to be reduced.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burn­er orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determin­ing the proper orifice for your location.
Main Burner
The main burner should be allowed to operate for 15 to 20 minutes before making any adjustment to the burner. The air shutter on the right front of the main burner should be adjusted so that there are no orange/red flames with dark sooty looking tips. A luminous yellow flame with blue base is what is acceptable. For burner air shutter settings see Air Shutter Settings chart. (Page 31) If there is too much primary air then the flame will be very blue with yellow tips and smaller flame height. If there is too little primary air then the flame will be yel­low with orange/red tips on the back flames with dark sooty elongated tips. In this condition the glass and logs could show signs of soot accumulation within 10 to 20 minutes.

Maintenance
Motor and Blower for Fan Kit (optional)
This motor has been factory oiled and under normal operating conditions should not require oiling.
WARNING: Ensure the power is turned off to the fireplace before servicing.
Cleaning
This unit should be cleaned and serviced by a Qualified Gas Technician at least annually. More frequent clean­ing may be necessary if pet hair accumulates, dust and lint are present, or if the unit is located in a high traffic area. A Qualified Agency is defined in the Gas Code.
Cleaning should include burner tubes, orifice/injectors (refer to section B.3 National Fuel Gas Code) and logs. It is recommended that any sediment traps in the gas line be emptied and cleaned at this time. (Refer to Sec­tion 3.7.2 National Fuel Gas Code)
Burner, Firebox and Logs
CAUTION: Before cleaning or moving logs
or other parts of the unit, be sure to read the section on important safeguards.
Cleaning should be done before the logs are used each year and after long periods of non-use. All cleaning should be carried out when the appliance is cold. Cleaning will be required under normal use. Dusting the front grate or the control knob panel may be required occasionally. Do not use any cleaning fluids to clean the logs or any other part of the appliance.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if the burners fail to ignite properly, then the burner holes may require cleaning. If this occurs, contact your near­est dealer to get the appliance serviced.
Alternatively, the appliance can be cleaned by removing all the logs. Handle the logs gently so as not to damage them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each end.
After the logs are removed allowing access to the burn­er area, use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dust and loose particles from the base, logs and from around the burners. Gloves are recommended to prevent the ceramic fibers that compose the logs from pricking your skin. If the skin is pricked, wash gently with soap and water. Use extreme caution in cleaning around the pilot. The spark ignitor should not be moved or altered from the original factory setting. The burner should be placed back into its original locked and secure position after cleaning and servicing(proper location of burners are critical). NOTE: All replacements and repairs should be performed by a qualified technician (contact your nearest dealer). After cleaning and/or repairs, follow instructions for positioning of logs as illustrated on Page
23.
Glass
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur­ing startup it is normal for condensation to form on the glass and cause dirt, lint, etc., to adhere to the inner surface of the glass. There also will be a film deposited on the glass during the initial use of the fireplace due to initial curing of the paint. It is recommended that the glass be cleaned with a non-abrasive household clean­er and warm water. Be sure to rinse and dry the glass well as not to leave any marks. It may be necessary to clean the glass two to three times a season depending on use of the fireplace.

Fan Kits
FK24 Fan Assembly
This auxiliary fan system increases the efficiency of the circulation of the heating air.
The FK24 fan kit allows variable speed control of the circulation fan and also incorporates a heat sensor in the circuit.
Specifications
115 Volt / 60Hz / 56 Watts
Maintenance
The fan itself does not require regular maintenance, however periodic cleaning of the fan and the surrounding area is required.
Check the area under the control door (lower louvre assembly) and in front of the fan and wipe or vacuum this area at least once a month during the operating season.
Installation
The fan assembly and other components are supplied fully wired eliminating the need for a licensed electrician to carry out the installation.
If hard wiring the fan using Method B (following), we strongly recommend the use of a licensed electrician.
1. Open the lower louvre assembly. Maneuver the fan & bracket assembly around the gas valve and lines to locate the unit onto the screw studs on the back of the fireplace.
2. Install the thermal sensor under the bottom of the of the firebox, locating it over the two 10 mm studs and secure it with nuts.
3. Locate the fan speed control unit. This can be fitted behind the lower louvre assembly as in Figure 52 or located remotely in a conveniently located wall mounted electrical box. Remote location of the speed control will require suitable extension of the component wiring.
4. The power supply may be connected in two ways:
Method A Route the 6’ lead fitted to the unit to a conveniently
located wall socket.
Method B
The EB-1 receptacle box (Pt. # ZA1200) may be
hard wired into the house supply. The fan lead is then plugged into the EB-1 box. For instruction on wiring the EB-1 Electrical Junction Box see the earlier chapter in the Installation section of this manual.
