Safety and Warning Information

READ and UNDERSTAND all instructions carefully before starting the installation. FAILURE TO FOLLOW these installation instructions may result in

possible ﬁ re hazard and will void the warranty.

Prior to the ﬁ rst ﬁ ring of the ﬁ replace, READ the

Owner’s Information section of this manual.

DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately, CALL a qualiﬁ ed service

technician to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been under water.

THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.

Installation and repair should be PERFORMED

by a qualiﬁ ed service person. The appliance and

venting system should be INSPECTED before initial

use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding, etc. It is

IMPERATIVE that the unit’s control compartment, burner, and circulating air passageways BE KEPT CLEAN to provide for adequate combustion and

ventilation air.

Always KEEP the appliance clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline, and other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids.

NEVER OBSTRUCT the ﬂ ow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance CLEAR

of all obstacles and materials for servicing and proper operation.

Due to the high temperature, the appliance should be

LOCATED out of trafﬁ c areas and away from furniture

and draperies. Clothing or ﬂ ammable material

SHOULD NOT BE PLACED on or near the appliance. Children and adults should be ALERTED to the

hazards of high surface temperature and should STAY AWAY to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

This unit MUST be used with a vent system as

described in this installation manual. NO OTHER vent system or components MAY BE USED.

This gas ﬁ replace and vent assembly MUST be vented directly to the outside and MUST NEVER be

attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel

burning appliance. Each gas appliance MUST USE

a separate vent system. Common vent systems are

PROHIBITED. INSPECT the external vent cap on a regular basis to

make sure that no debris, plants, trees, shrubs are interfering with the air ﬂ ow.

The glass door assembly MUST be in place and

sealed before the unit can be placed into safe operation.

DO NOT OPERATE this appliance with the glass

door removed, cracked, or broken. Replacement of the glass door should be performed by a licensed or

qualiﬁ ed service person. DO NOT strike or slam the

glass door.

The glass door assembly SHALL ONLY be replaced

as a complete unit, as supplied by the ﬁ replace

manufacturer. NO SUBSTITUTE material may be

used.

DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners on the glass door assembly. DO NOT ATTEMPT to clean the glass door

when it is hot.

TURN OFF the gas before servicing this appliance.

It is recommended that a qualiﬁ ed service technician perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing

MUST BE REPLACED before operating this

appliance.

DO NOT place furniture or any other combustible

household objects within 36” of the ﬁ replace front.

YOUNG CHILDREN should be CAREFULLY SUPERVISED when they are in the same room as

the appliance. Toddlers, young children and others

may be susceptible to ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BURNS. A physical barrier is recommended if there

are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access

to a ﬁ replace or stove, INST ALL AN ADJUSTABLE SAFETY GATE to keep toddlers, young children and

other at risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.

BE CAREFUL not to put any decorating objects

sensitive to heat to close above or around the ﬁ replace as it gets very hot when operating.

DO NOT use this heater as a temporary source of

heat during construction.

This appliance is a DOMESTIC ROOM-HEATING AP- PLIANCE. It must not be used for any other purposes

such as drying clothes, etc.

Safety and Warning Information

Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time

When operating your new ﬁ replace for the ﬁ rst time, some vapors may be released due to the burning of curing compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause the ﬂ ames to be the full height of the ﬁ rebox, or even slightly higher, for the ﬁ rst few hours of operation. It is also possible that these vapors could set off any smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We recommend opening a window to vent the room. After a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and the ﬂ ames will be at their normal height.

State of California. Proposition 65 Warning.

Fuels used in gas, wood-burning or oil ﬁ red appliances, and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6.

Vent Material

This unit is approved for installation using 4 by 6-5/8 inches diameter approved co-axial direct vent pipes and accessories listed on pages 37–38 of this guide. Follow the installation instructions supplied with the individual venting accessories.

This unit may also be converted to co-linear venting with two 3-inch pipes for use in solid-fuel burning ﬁ replaces and chimneys using approved adapters and accessories listed on pages 37–38 of this guide.

Wall Thickness

The appliance vent is suitable for penetrating a combustible wall assembly up to 14 inches in thickness. A non-combustible wall can be of any thickness up to the maximum horizontal run of vent pipe allowed for the particular installation.

Vent Penetration through Walls & Ceilings

Combustible: When penetrating through combustible

walls and ceilings, frame a minimum of 10 inch by 10 inch opening and ensure that the insulation is kept clear of the vent pipe using either a wall shield or thimble or an attic insulation shield. Follow the installation instructions supplied with the individual venting components.

Non-combustible: If the wall is totally non-combustible

(e.g. masonry block or concrete), mark for a 7 inch circular hole.

In both cases, the center of the hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal vent.

Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers

It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a manner as to:

• Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior wall surface.

• Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall structure by ensuring the inside wall plate is adequately sealed to the inside vapor barrier.

• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by sealing the joints between the outer vent tube and the inner and outer wall plates.

We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.
