NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around the 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 the 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 conducting cold up into
the room. It also helps to
surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness
and caulk firestops.
sheetrock inside
LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and
functional use of the appliance are primary
concerns. However, vent system routing to
the exterior and access to the fuel supply
are also important. Consideration should be
given to traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc.,
due to elevated surface temperatures (seeFigure 4 ). The location should also be free
of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air
conditioning ducting.
These direct vent appliances are uniquely
suited for installations requiring a utility shelf
positioned directly above the fireplace. Utility
shelves like these are commonly used for locating television sets and decorative plants. Be
aware that this is a heat producing appliance.
Objects placed above the unit are exposed to
elevated temperatures.
To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface
use the alternate rear vent outlet with attached
venting routed in a way to minimize obstructions
to the use of the space above the appliance. Do
not insulate the space between the appliance
and the area above it. See Figure 9. The mini-
mum 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 the Table in Figure 9.
The appliance should be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width and
depth of the unit. The appliance may be located
on or near conventional construction materials.
However, if installed on combustible materials,
such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or
wood barrier covering the entire bottom surface
must be used.

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 B149 - latest
edition (Canada).
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to
Table 9 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.

to the appliance until Step 6 (Page 26).
• 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 46). Appliances using
Propane should have a sediment trap at the
base of the tank.
• Check with local building official for local code
requirements (i.e. are below grade penetrations
of the gas line allowed, etc).
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.

Step 3. INSTALL THE VENT SYSTEM
General Information
These instructions should be used as a guideline 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.
Use only approved venting components. See
Approved Vent Components on Page 2.
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 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.
WARNING
Failure to reinstall and securely
tighten cover plate screws could
result in leakage of flue products
into the living space. Vent cover
plate and vent seal plate must
remain securely installed on
unused vent collar. Failure to do
so could result in leakage of flue
products into living space.
Installation of Vent Restrictor
A vent restrictor may be needed with this appliance,
install vent restrictor (provided) in the appliance top
flue outlet as shown in Figure 16 (SSDVT-3328 )
or rear flue outlet as shown in Figure 17 (SSDVR-3328 ). It is held in place by friction, only.
Vent Restrictor Installation
(Top Vent)
A vent restrictor may be needed when vertically terminating the vent system above the roof
(when using the appliance top vent), install vent
restrictor in the top vent of the fireplace outlet on
SSDV-3328 series models. If needed, install the
restrictor orientated as shown, either from inside
or outside the unit,in the inner fireplace collar.

Select Venting System - Horizontal or Vertical
With the appliance secured in framing, determine vent routing and identify the exterior
termination location. The following sections
describe vertical (roof) and horizontal (exterior
wall) vent applications. Refer to the section
relating to your installation. A list of approved
venting components is shown on Pages 32
through 34.
Figure 21 (Page 15), and Figures 26 to
30 (Pages 17 and 18) and their associated
Vertical Vent Tables illustrate the various vertical venting configurations that are possible for
use with these appliances. Secure Vent pipe
applications are shown in these Figures; Secure Flex pipe may also be used. A Vertical 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.
Both these vertical vent systems terminate
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-1 B149 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 5 on Page 7).
14
Vertical (Straight) Installation
Determine the number of straight vent sections
required. 4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm),
22-1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 461/2" (1181 mm) net section lengths are available
(see Table 11 and Page 32 - Item 3). Plan the
vent lengths so that a joint does not occur at
the intersection of ceiling or roof joists. Refer
to the Vent Section Length Chart.

Analyze the vent routing and determine the
quantities of vent sections and number of elbows
required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and Tables on Pages 17 and 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 14 for an
aid in selecting length combinations. Elbows are
available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer
to Figure 22 on Page 16 for the SV4.5E45 and
SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional specifications.
Where required, a telescopic vent section (SV4.5LA) 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 SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section
has an effective length of from 1-1/2" (38 mm)
to 7-1/2" (191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with
a locking inclined channel end (identical to a
normal vent section component) and a plain end
with 3 pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the
locking channel end of a standard SV4.5 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, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267mm x 267mm)
inside dimensions, about this center mark
(Figure 19 ).

B. Attach vent components to appliance
- Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system compo-
nents are unitized concentric pipe components
featuring positive twist lock connections (see Figure 20).
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.
Align the dimple (four places) of the
upper vent section with the opening
of the locking incline channel on the
lower vent section or appliance collar. Twist vent component clockwise

Figure 20
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 20). 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 is not required as the pipe
will securely lock when twisted.
Note: An elbow may also be attached to the
appliance collar. Attach in the same manner
as you would a vent section.
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 20.
D. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - When
using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer
at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex, use
SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. 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 (96K94) may be used
to obtain the required clearances indicated
here. See installation accessories, Pages
32 through 34.
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 firplace in any degree.
Support the vertical portion of the venting
system every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fireplace
vent outlet.

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. Refer to Figure 21.
F. Change vent direction to horizontal/inclined
run - At transition from or to a horizontal/in-
clined run, install the SV4.5E45 and 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 possiblity of unlocking
any of the previously connected vent sections.
See Figure 22.

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 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.
See Page 19, Figure 31. It is very important
that the horizontal/inclined run be maintained
in a straight (no dips) and recommended to be
in a slightly elevated plane, in a direction away
from the fireplace of 1/4 " rise per foot (20 mm
per meter) which is ideal, though 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.

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 24). 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 24. 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.

Collar
K. Install the vertical termination - The final
step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1
Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections
to the height as shown in the "Vertical vent termination section" on Page 7. The SV4.5CGV-1
Vertical Termination (Figure 25) 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 are seated at the
end of the channels.
Figure 25
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.
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

inner and outer pipe elements with the same
procedure. Sealant and securing screws are
not required.
Note: An elbow may also be attached to the
appliance collar. Attach in the same manner
as you would a vent section.
E. Attach vent components to each other
- Other vent sections may be added to the pre-
viously 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 20 on Page 15.
F. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling -
When using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF firestop/
spacer at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex,
use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer.
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 NOT TO SCALE.
G. Support the vertical run sections See Section E on Page 15.
H. Change vent direction - At transition from or
to a horizontal/inclined run, install the SV4.5E45
and 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 possiblity of
unlocking any of the previously connected vent
sections. See Figure 22 on Page 16.
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. Install support straps
every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.
See Figure 31.It is very important that the
horizontal/inclined run be maintained in a
straight (no dips) and recommended to be in
a slightly elevated plane, in a direction away
from the fireplace of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm
per meter) which is ideal, though 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.

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. Assemble the vent system
to point where the terminus of the last section is
located relative to the exterior surface to which
the termination is to be attached (see Figures 32 & 33 and Table 12 on Page 21.
If the terminus of the last section is not within
this distance, use the telescopic vent section SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. For wall thicknesses greater than that shown in Figure 33 on Page 20 andTable 12 on Page 21. This table
lists the additional venting components needed
(in addition to the termination and adapter) for
a particular range of wall thicknesses.
K.Attach termination adapter - Attach the
adapter (adapter - SV4.5RCH - provided with the
termination) to the vent section or telescoping
vent section, elbow or appliance collar as shown
in Figures 32 & 33 in the same manner as any
SV4.5 vent component (refer to Step E).
L. Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall
- When using the square termination, install
SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)
Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exterior
side of the framing, long side up, with the 3 inch
spacer clearance at the top as shown in Figure 32, and nail into place.

M. Install the Square Termination (SV4.5HT-2
or SF4.5HT-2)
Install the square termination - For the last step
, from outside the exterior wall, slide the collars
of the termination onto the adapter (the outer
inside the outer and the inner outside 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) as
shown in Figure 33.
IMPORTANT
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, we recommend the use
of a Termination Guard. See Items
12 and 13 on Page 32. This can be
purchased at your local dealer.

VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL VENTING USING
SECURE FLEX KITS AND COMPONENTS
Secure Flex venting kits and components
may be used in any venting application in
place of rigid Secure Vent (SV4.5) direct vent
components. All restrictions, clearances and
allowances that pertain to the rigid piping apply
to the flexible venting. Secure Flex kits may
not be modified; also, under no circumstances
may separate sections of flex pipe be joined
together.
Using adapter (SV4.5RF), Secure Flex kits
may be added to the end of a vent run made
up of rigid Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent sections
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 adapter that
can be fitted to 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 adapter over
the previously installed section or appliance
collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the
four locking dimples of the adapter are aligned
with the inlets of the four incline channels of
the last vent section or collar. Push on the
adapter until it fully engages, then twist the
adapter clockwise running the dimples down
and along the incline channels until they seat
at the end of the channels.
Attach the flexible vent to the adapter as follows (see also Figure 41):
A. Install the Inner Flex Pipe -
1. Install the small gear clamp loosely around
the inner flexible vent pipe, push it back out
of the way.
2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700° F) high
temperature sealant - Catalog No. 10K81
to the inner adapter collar, approximately
1/2 inch from the end.
3. Pull and extend the inner flexible vent pipe.
4. Slide the inner flex pipe over the adapter col-
lar. Ensure the flexible vent pipe completely
engages the adapter collar to a distance of 1
3/4 inches from the end, and that it is free
from damage or tears.
5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten it
fully to secure the flexible vent to the adapter
inner collar approximately 3/4 inch from the
end of the flex.
6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart through
the flexible vent pipe and into the adapter collar
just below the gear clamp to provide additional
security to the connection.

B. Install the Outer Flex Pipe -
1. Install the large gear clamp loosely around
the outer flexible vent pipe, push it back out
of the way.
2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700° F) high
temperature sealant - Catalog No. 10K81)
to the outer adapter collar; to the grooves
of the collar which extend approximately 1
inch from the end and to the flat surface,
approximately 1 3/4 inches from the end.
3. Pull and extend outer flexible vent pipe.
4. Slide the outer flex pipe over the adapter col-
lar. Ensure the flexible vent pipe completely
engages the adapter collar to a distance of
1-3/4 inches from the end, and that it is free
from damage or tears.
5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten it
fully to secure the flexible vent to the adapter
outer collar approximately 3/4 inch from the
end of the flex.
6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart
through the flexible vent pipe and into the
adapter collar just below the gear clamp to
provide additional security to the connection.
C. Route Flex Vent -
Ensure that the flex 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). Refer to Figure 42. Space out the
internal flex vent spacers evenly - approximately
every 6 inches - and avoid kinking of inner pipe.
Support horizontal sections of flex with metal
straps at 2 foot (0.61 m) intervals.
D. Install Firestop / Spacers at ceilings and walls
- When Secure Flex penetrates a wall or ceiling,
a firestop / spacer is required: use the SF4.5 VF
firestop / spacer for ceilings and the SF4.5 HF
firestop / spacer for walls. See the appropriate
sections and Figures shown throughout the venting section for their installation requirements.

E. Attach Flex Vent to Termination -
Secure Flex components can be purchased separately and attached to bulk lengths of Secure Flex flexible tubing cut to size at the job
site. Secure the flexible vent to the Secure Flex
terminations in the same manner (see Figure
41) as it was attached to the adapter.
Note: Secure Flex vent must be attached to Secure Flex terminations only. DO NOT substitute
Secure Vent terminations or the Secure Vent
adapter for Secure Flex components. The collars
of Secure Flex terminations and adapters have a
different diameter than that used with the Secure
Vent pipe. Additionally, Secure Flex components
have an extended length center tube for use in
attaching the flexible vent.

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition. (In Canada, the
current CSA C22-1 Canadian Electrical Code).
CAUTION
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
*A Sediment Trap is recommended to prevent moisture
and debris in gas line from damaging the valve.
Note:The gas supply line must be installed in accordance with building codes by a qualified installer
approved and/or licensed as requed by the locality.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or
gas fitter.
Figure 46 - GAS CONNECTION
Step 6. CONNECTING GAS LINE
Make gas line connections. All codes require a
shut-off valve mounted in the supply line. Figure 46 illustrates two methods for connecting the
gas supply. The flex-line method is acceptable
in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements
vary depending on locality. Installation must
be in compliance with local codes.
These appliances are equipped with a gas flex
line for use (where permitted) in connecting
the appliance to the gas line. A gas flex line
is provided to aid in attaching the direct vent
appliance to the gas supply. The gas flex line
can only be used where local codes permit.
See Figure 46 for flex line description. The flex
line is rated for both natural gas and propane
gas. A manual shut off valve is also provided
with the flex line.
The incoming gas line should be piped into the
valve compartment and connected (see Figures 46 & 47). The millivolt control valve has a 3/8"
(10 mm) NPT thread inlet port. The electronic
control valve has a 1/2" (13 mm) NPT thread
inlet port and is fitted with a 1/2" x 3/8" (13 mm x
10 mm) NPT fitting.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate
tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications).
Optional: Seal around the gas line to prevent cold air leakage.
TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS
Piezo
Igniter
SIT Gas Valve
Honeywell
Gas Valve
(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
(50% dish soap, 50% water) 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 control compartment or
homeowner's 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
gas control knob (off/pilot/on) 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. 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.

provided in the Homeowner's Care and Operation Instructions. For piezo igniter location see
Figure 48 (millivolt appliances only).
Note: The (pull-out) Lighting instructions label
can be found in the control compartment
(see Figure 47).
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 lightings
of the appliance will not require such purging.
Inspect the pilot flame.

The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting
or floating. Flame should be blue in color with
traces of orange at the outer edge.
The top 3/8" (10 mm) at the pilot generator
(thermopile) and the top 1/8" min (tip) of the
quick drop out thermocouple should be engulfed
in the pilot flame. The flame should project 1" (25
mm) beyond the hood at all three ports (Figure
49 - SIT, Figure 50 - Honeywell).
To light the burner; rotate the gas valve control
knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position
then turn “ON” the OFF/ON switch (installed
at Step 4).
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.

INSTALL LOGS, VOLCANIC STONE AND
GLOWING EMBERS
Carefully position the ceramic fiber logs and
twigs over the burner according to the following
steps, while referring to Figure 52.
1. Set the rear log on the raised log support
brackets at the rear of the firebox, fitting
the slots in the log over the brackets.
2. Position the front log with the pins for the
two side twigs in the up position, and the
two vertical burner tabs recessed into the
two notches at the rear of the log. Check
for recessing of brackets into log notches
(by touch) to verify correct log placement.
3. Insert the alignment hole of the left twig over
the front log's left pin. Rotate the left twig
until it just touches the edge of the ember
bracket.
4. Insert the alignment hole of the right twig
over the front log's right pin. Rotate the
right twig until it almost touches the front
panel glass.
Note: Proper twig placement is critical in the
gaps between the flame peaks and should be
positioned so that at no time they impinge
the flames.
Glowing Ember/Volcanic Stone Placement
Remove the replacement rockwool (Glowing
Embers) from the packaging and tear into
quarter size pieces (seeFigure 53 ).
Spread rockwool (quarter-sized pieces) on and
along the length of the burner screen. Do not
use more than is necessary. To many quartersized pieces on the front burner section will
cause poor combustion.
When properly positioned, the rockwool will
unevenly cover approximately 85% of the
burner screen, with no appreciable gaps or
openings.
To install Decorative Volcanic Stone, mound up
a portion of the volcanic stone in front of the
burner in a pattern to suite individual taste.

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. If after a short period
the flame stays lowered 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 openings 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
and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more
closed position, then operate the appliance
for a few more minutes to ensure that the
flame normalizes and the flames do not
appear sooty.
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment for
your installation.

Burner Air Shutter Adjustment Procedure
CAUTION
The air shutter door and nearby appliance surfaces are
hot. Exercise caution to avoid injury while adjusting
flame appearance.
Burner Air Shutter Adjustment Procedure
1. Locate adjustment rod and adjust air shutter to the standard setting
as shown in Figure 56 (adjustment rod is located in the lower control
compartment).
Note: Move the adjustment rod down to decreases air and up to
increases.
2. Light appliance (follow lighting procedure on lighting label in control
compartment or see Care and Operations manual).
3.
Allow the burner to operate for at least 15 minutes while observing
the flame continuously to ensure that the proper flame appearance
has been achieved (see Figure 55). If the following conditions are
present, adjust accordingly.
• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust air shutter, incrementally, to a
more open position until the proper flame appearance is achieved.
• If flame stays lowered blue, adjust air shutter, incrementally, to a more
closed position until the proper flame appearance is achieved.
4. Leave the control knob (off/pilot/on) in the ON position and the burner
OFF/ON switch OFF (& remote switches, if applicable).
5.
When satisfied that the burner flame appearance is normal, re-install the
lower control compartment door then proceed to finish the installation.
