This appliance is only for use with type of gas
indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not
convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified
kit is used.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim 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 (10) 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.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or oil fired 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.

Mantels
The height at which a combustible mantel is fitted
above the fireplace is dependent on the depth of the
mantel. This also applies to the distance between the
mantel leg (if so fitted) and the fireplace. For correct
mounting height and width, refer to Fig. 4a and 4b and
the Mantel Chart below.
The fitting of a bay window trim kit does not affect the
distances and reference points referred to in the diagram and chart.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such
paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent discoloration.

Framing & 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. Holes to secure
the unit to the floor are located behind the access
door grille on the left and right sides 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. Drywall (sheetrock) or wood material may be placed
with a zero clearance to the top edges of the appliance when finishing walls above sides of the appliance with glass windows. NOTE: Attach wall finish-
ing to constructed frame, not the appliance.
5. On 360DVSL and 360DVSR, drywall, wood, or wood
molding may be placed with zero clearance to the
rear wall of the unit, along the vertical edge formed
by the standoffs, to intersection of the rear wall, to
the side wall having the small glass window. NOTE:
Attach wall finishing to constructed frame, not
the appliance.
Final Finishing
Noncombustible materials such as brick or tile may be
extended over the edges of the face of the appliance.
DO NOT cover any vent or grille panels.
If a Trim Kit is going to be installed on the fireplace, the
brick or tile will have to be installed flush with the edges
of the appliance.

Gas Line Installation
When purging the gas lines, the window
frame assembly must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the vent
end of the fireplace as well as the bottom. Knockouts
(to allow gas pipe installation and testing any gas connection) are provided on the bottom behind the valve.
It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the
vent end of the valve, as this allows fan installation or
removal without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly
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 consult your
local authority and the CSA-B149.1 installation codes.
For USA installations, consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an
open flame for leak testing.

The gas control is equipped with a captured-screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8” test point upstream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector, use only ap
proved fittings. Always provide a union when using
black iron pipe so that the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. Refer to the gas
specification for pressure details and ratings.
Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas
appliance control from the gas line when
pressure testing.
DO NOT subject the fireplace valve to test
pressures exceeding 1/2 psi.
EB-1 Electrical Junction Box Connection
The fireplace, when installed, must be
electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes; in the absence
of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code.
For USA installations, follow the local
codes and National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70.
It is strongly suggested the wiring of the
EB-1 Electrical Junction Box be carried out
by a licensed electrician.
Ensure power to the supply line has been
disconnected before commencing with this
procedure.
The EB-1 electrical junction box has been supplied
standard on this model to allow for easy connection of
the optional fan kits. (Fig. 6)
To connect the EB-1 box to the house electrical supply
