INTRODUCTION
These vented gas fireplace heaters are sealed combustion, air-circulating gas fireplaces designed for residential,
manufactured home, and commercial applications. Direct-vent appliances operate with the combustion chamber
isolated from the indoor environment. All air for combustion is brought in from the outside, and exhaust gases are
vented through the same direct-vent, coaxial (intake/exhaust) vent system.
These appliances are designed to operate on natural or propane gas only. The use of other fuels or fuel combinations
will degrade the performance of this system, may be dangerous, and may void the warranty.
Electronic fireplaces are designed with an electronic intermittent pilot ignition system. External electrical power is
required to operate these units. In the event of a power outage, four (4) AA batteries (in battery holder) provide
backup power for fireplace operation.
Batteries will operate the gas valve OPEN/CLOSE and pilot ON/OFF functions only. Electrical power (120V AC line
voltage) is required to operate the following components:
• Blower
• Power vent system
• Panel backlighting kit
A remote control system is included with all models and provides remote operation of several fireplace functions
(manual adjustment of the gas valve settings is not possible).
NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning might be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, et cetera. It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and
circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
Remarqué : L’installation et la réparation devrait être confiées à un technicien qualifié. L’appareil devrait faire
l’objet d’une inspection par un technicien professionnel avant d’être utilisé et au moins une fois l’an par la suite.
Des nettoyages plus fréquents peuvent être nécessaires si les tapis, la literie, et cetera produisent une quantité
importante de pous-sière. Il est essentiel que les compartiments abritant les commandes, les brûleurs et les
conduits de circulation d’air de l’appareil soient tenus propres.

Table 5 - Burner Orifice Sizes, Elevation 0–4500 ft ( 0–1372 m)
Deration
At elevations above 4500 ft, the amount of BTU fuel value delivered must be reduced by either:
• Using gas that has been derated by the gas company.
• Changing the burner orifice to a smaller size as regulated by the local authorities having jurisdiction and by the
(USA) National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1—latest edition or, in Canada, the CAN/CGA-B149.1 codes—
latest edition.
NOTE: Flame breadth, height and width will diminish 4% for every 1,000 ft of altitude.
IN CANADA—CAN/CGA-2.17-M91 (HIGH ALTITUDE):
THE CONVERSION SHALL BE CARRIED OUT BY A MANUFACTURER’S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE,
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MANUFACTURER, PROVINCIAL OR TERRITORIAL
AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CAN/
CGA-B149.1 OR CAN/CGA-B149.2 INSTALLATION CODES.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
These appliances are approved for installation in the U.S. state of Massachusetts if the following additional
requirements are met:
• Install this fireplace in accordance with Massachusetts Rules and Regulations 248 C.M.R. 4.00 through 8.00.
• Installation and repair must be done by a plumber or gas fitter licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
• The flexible gas line connector used shall not exceed 36” (914 mm) in length.
• The individual manual shutoff must be a T-handle type valve.
Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, horizontal terminations installed less than seven (7) ft above the finished
grade must comply with the following additional requirements:
• A hard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm and battery back-up must be installed on the floor level
where the gas fireplace is installed. The carbon monoxide detector must comply with NFPA 720, be ANSI/UL
2034 listed and be ISA certified.
• A metal or plastic identification plate must be permanently mounted to the exterior of the building at a minimum height
of eight (8) ft above grade and be directly in line with the horizontal termination. The sign must read, in print size no
less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.
COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your fireplace 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 fireplace rests, if floor is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed
with unfaced fiberglass insulation. Caulk the firestop only where the pipe penetrates an outside wall, attic, or other
unconditioned space.
NOTE: Do not use loose, or blown-in insulation in the cavity surrounding the fireplace.
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 conduction of cold transferring to the fireplace and into the room. It also helps to
sheetrock inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.

1. Construct the Fireplace Framing
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU BEGIN FRAMING, DETERMINE WHETHER YOU WILL BE INSTALLING THE
FIREPLACE AS A CLEAN FACE UNIT OR USING A SURROUND AND BEZEL. SEE PAGES 43 AND 44. WE
STRONGLY RECOMMEND WHEN THE FIREPLACE IS FRAMED WITH A 1/2” NONCOMBUSTIBLE BOARD,
WE RECOMMEND USING A SECOND LAYER, LOCALLY SOURCED, NONCOMBUSTIBLE BOARD SIMILAR
TO DUROCK® OR HARDIBOARD®. IF A SECOND LAYER OF BOARD IS USED, THE FIREPLACE FRAMING
MUST BE OFFSET BACK SO THE TWO LAYER SURFACE WILL BE ON THE SAME PLANE AS THE WALLS
ON THE SIDES AND TOP OF THE FIREPLACE.
1. Frame the fireplace as illustrated in Table 10. All framing details must allow for a minimum clearance to combustible
framing members as shown in Table 8. Steel studs are strongly recommended where exposed to heat.
2. Mount the fireplace on a fully supported base extending the full width and depth of the unit. If installed on combustible
materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, or combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.
NOTE: Headers may be in direct contact with the fireplace top standoff spacers when they are bent up vertically,
maintaining the 9-3/8” clearance to the fireplace top, but must not be supported by them or notched to fit around them.
All construction above the fireplace must be self-supporting. DO NOT use the fireplace for structural support.

3. Route the Gas Supply Line into the Fireplace
1. Route a 1/2” (13 mm) gas line to the left side of the fireplace (Figure 9).
2. Route the gas line through the gas supply line access opening (Figure 11).
NOTE: The gas supply line should not be connected to the appliance until step 11. Connect the Gas Line (Page 38).
NOTE: Gas lines must be routed, assembled, and made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and
regulations. Never use galvanized or plastic pipe.
NOTE: See Page 55 for more information on Accessing the Control Compartment.
NOTE: All codes require a shutoff valve mounted in the supply line. Figure 33 (Page 39) illustrates the method
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. The provided gas-line shutoff
valve (located in the control compartment) is intended as a service shutoff. National and local codes may require
installation of a second gas-line shutoff valve (not provided) in a readily accessible location. Consult local codes. It
is the responsibility of the plumber to provide an accessible shutoff.
