High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to
4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
Gas Line Installation
When purging the gas lines, the front window frame assembly must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear
of the appliance 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 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 National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or the CSA-B149.1 installation code.
1/2” Gas Supply

The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test
pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this
and any other gas appliance control from the gas line
when pressure testing.
Remote ON/OFF Switch
Installation
1. Thread the wiring through the holes on the end
panels of the fireplace. Take care not to cut the wire
or insulation on metal edges. Route the wire to a
conveniently located receptacle box.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the
switch into the receptacle box.
3. Connect the other ends of the wire to the gas control
valve. (Fig. 6)

Alternate Switch Location
The remote switch can be installed on the front/side
of the access door. Simply mount the switch to the
bracket provided and screw the bracket to either side
of the frame, lining up the screws with the pre-punched
holes. (Fig. 7)
FP297A
Fig. 5 Typical gas supply installation.
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 up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved
fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron
pipe so the gas line can be easily disconnected for
burner or fan servicing. See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.

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 sliding joints 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 pipe 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.

How to Use the Vent Graph
The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the
following vent installation instructions to determine the
relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of
the vent system.
TWL100
Horizontal dimension from the outside face of the
wall to the center of the fireplace vent flange
Sidewall vent graph showing the relationship between vertical
and horizontal dimensions for a Direct Vent flue system.
Fig. 13 Sidewall venting graph. (Dimensions in feet)
Rear Wall Venting Applications
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. 13)
locate the point intersecting with 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).

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. (Refer to
“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” (508mm). (Fig. 14)
• Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com-
bustible materials are as follows:

pipes are flush with the outside wall once the fireplace
is in its final location. (Fig. 17)
STEP 4
Slip 4” and 7” pipes onto respective flue collars. Make
sure to fix to the fireplace collar the 4” pipe with three
(3) screws before fixing the 7” pipe on the 7” collar.
Both pipes must be on a level plane. (Fig 18)
STEP 5
Guide the vent termination 4” collar into the 4” pipe then
the 7” collar into the 7” pipe. Do not force the venting
into position. If the pipes do not line up with the termination collars, disassemble pipes and reattach to the
fireplace collar. (Fig. 18)

Vertical Sidewall Applications
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”(25 mm)
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.

STEP 4
Measure the horizontal length requirement including a
2” (51 mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow to the outside
wall finish plus 2”, or the distance required if installing a
second 90° elbow. (Fig. 28)
STEP 5
Use appropriate length of pipe section - telescopic or
fixed - and install the horizontal vent sections. The 20”
(508 mm) section of pipe which goes through the wall is
packaged with the 7TDVSK starter kit, and can be cut
to suit if necessary. (Fig. 29)

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 #7TDVSNORK is required. 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.
The maximum horizontal run with 24”
vertical rise is 36” (914 mm) from the
back of the fireplace to the face of the
exterior wall. See vent graph (Page 12) for
extended horizontal run if the vertical rise
exceeds 24” (610 mm).
1. Establish vent hole through the wall. (Fig. 25)
2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16”
(406mm) below base of snorkel. 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. 31)
3. Install vent system. See Page 13, Steps 2 through 5.
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 into the vent pipe and secure to the wall.
7. Level the soil to maintain a 4” (102 mm) clearance
below snorkel. (Fig. 31)

Glass Cleaning
It is necessary to periodically clean glass. During startup condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside
of the glass. This condensation causes lint, dust and
other airborne particles to cling to glass surface.
Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on
the glass. It is therefore recommended 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 glass after first two weeks of
operation.
Do not clean glass when hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Do not strike or slam the glass.

Fuel Conversion Instructions
The conversion of this appliance from one
gas to another must be carried out by an
authorized service provider.
The procedure for converting from one gas to
another is the same regardless of the initial
gas used. The only variation is in the orifice
sizes and component part numbers. Your
authorized service provider will ensure the
correct parts are used.
1. Disconnect power to the unit and shut off the gas sup
ply.
2. Remove window frame assembly.
3. Carefully remove the logs & lava rock material.
4. Remove the screws that are holding the burner housing in place.
5. Remove the burner housing assembly. Depending on
the model of the appliance you may have to loosen
the pilot bracket retaining screw/nut to allow the pilot
and bracket assembly to tilt and give enough clearance to remove the burner housing assembly.
6. For Model 36LDVR ONLY: Remove the rear log sup-
port and relocate the two (2) screws that locate the
rear log as shown in Figure 49.
9. PSE Pilot
Using a suitable wrench on the hexagonal body un-
screw the pilot hood assembly from the pilot, do
not twist the hood itself. Remove the orifice and
replace it with the new orifice supplied in the kit. Refit
the pilot hood assembly. Do not over-tighten the pilot
hood. The hood must return to its original alignment.
Take care not to damage the thermocouple, thermopile or igniter.

Burner and Burner Compartment
It is important to keep the burner and the burner
compartment clean. At least once per year the logs and
lava rock/ember material should be removed and the
burner compartment vacuumed and wiped out. Remove
and refit the logs as per the instructions in this manual.
Always handle the logs with care as they
are fragile and may also be hot if the
fireplace has been in use.
FK24/FK12 Fan Assembly
The fan unit requires periodic cleaning. At least once
per month in the operating season open the lower
louvre panels and wipe or vacuum the area around the
fan to remove any build up of dust or lint.
Brass Trim
Clean the brass trim pieces using a soft cloth lightly
dampened with lemon oil. Do not use water or
household cleaners on any brass components.
Cleaning the Standing
Pilot Control System
The burner and control system consist of:
• burner • gas orifice
• pilot assembly • thermopile
• millivolt gas valve
Most of these components may require only an
occasional checkup and cleaning and some may
require adjustment. If repair is necessary, it should
be performed by a qualified technician.
1. Turn off pilot light at gas valve.
2. Allow fireplace to cool if it has been operating.
3. Remove window frame assembly. (Refer to Window
Frame Assembly Removal section.)
4. Remove logs.
5. Vacuum burner compartment especially around
orifice primary air openings.
6. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust
or lint accumulation.
7. Reinstall logs.
8. Ignite pilot - Refer to Lighting Instructions.
9. Reinstall window frame assembly.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot
and burner’s flame characteristics are steady, not lifting
or floating.
Typically, the top 3/8” to 1/2” of the thermopile should
be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Refer to Page 25, Figure
47)
To adjust pilot burner: (by qualified service technician)
1. Remove pilot adjustment cap
2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame.
3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.
The primary air shutter is set at factory and should
only be adjusted, if necessary, by a qualified service
technician.

Fan Kits
FK24 Fan Assembly
This auxiliary fan system increases the efficiency of the
circulation of the heated 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. Move 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 10mm 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 (Using EB-1 Receptacle Box)
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.
on wiring the EB-1 receptacle box see the earlier
chapter in the Installation section of this manual.
