IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING
CAREFULLY
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 Irving Oil gas fireplace
to give off some odour 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 Irving Oil
fireplace for a least ten (10) hours the first time
you use it. If optional fan kit has been installed,
place fan in the "OFF" position during this time.
LOCATING YOUR

10003929
INSERT APPLICATIONS
Before installing the gas fireplace insert consideration must
be given to the functioning needs of the fireplace. The size
of the fireplace cavity size (min. 28-3/4"W x 21-1/4"H x 16"
D), the design of the chimney (a minimum size of 8" x 12"
is necessary to accomadate the two (2) 3" liners). The
availability of the gas supply as well as electricity for the

PREPARATION
Before beginning, remove glass door and logs from unit.
Also check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the
unit. Take a minute and plan out the gas,venting and
electrical route. It is best to start with the gas line first
followed by the chimney liner (See page 9).
IRHEDV32
CERTIFIED TO:
The gas pipeline can be brought into the fireplace base
from the right side. It is most convenient to install it
from the right side into the valve.
When using copper or flex connector use
only approved fittings. Always provide a
union when using black iron pipe so that gas
line can be easily disconnected for burner or
fan servicing. See gas specification for
pressure details and ratings.
The gas line connection can be made of either properly
tinned 3/8" copper pipe, 3/8" rigid pipe or an approved flex
connector.
The gas control inlet is 3/8" N.P.T. therefore the 1/2" rigid
gas line must be reduced to 3/8" N.P.T. Typical installation
layout for rigid pipe is shown following. (Fig. 1)

Fig. 1
During any pressure testing of the gas line system, when
the test pressures are to exceed 1/2 psi (3.5 kpa) the
fireplace and its gas valve must not be connected to that
system.
At test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi, the gas valve
of the fireplace may be connected to the gas line, but must
be in the closed position.
Since some municipalities have some additional local
codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and
the CSA- B149 (.1 or .2) installation code in Canada.
FOR U.S.A Installations consult the current National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an
open flame for leak testing.

Fig. 14
GLASS CLEANING
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During
start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on the
inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne
particles 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 household cleaner and warm water
(we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the
glass should be cleaned two or three times during each
heating season depending on the circumstances present.
INSTALLATION OF LOGS
& BURNER LAVA ROCK
1 . Remove front glass. (See "Glass Removal" section)
2. Remove logs from packaging.
3. Place rear log (KR4) on rear bracket (ensure log is
seated properly, leveled and centered to the unit), so it
will not move from side to side and it is firmly positioned
on the bracket.
4. Slip front ember log (KR1) down in the front deflector.
5. Place front left log (KR2) on top burner, left side. Use
log's bottom holes to locate it into the left bracket log
locator studs.
6. Place front right log (KR3) on top of burner, right side.
Use log's bottom holes to locate it into the right bracket
log locator studs.
7. Place burner lava rocks material on top of burner. (See
Fig. 16 for proper location).
