Page 6

2 Getting Started

A. Design & Installation Considerations

Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air drawn from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional air source is required.

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

Consult local building, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.

When planning an installation, it is necessary to determine the following information before installing:

Where the appliance is to be installed.

The vent system configuration to be used.

Gas supply piping.

Electrical wiring.

Whether optional accessories - devices such as a blower, thermostat or remote control - are desired.

Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance. Tod- dlers, young children and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recom- mended if there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access to an appliance, install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.

Before beginning the installation be sure that the following tools and building supplies are available. Note: Not all tools will apply to every installation.

Reciprocating saw

These units are meticulously engineered to enhance both efficiency and aesthetics, making them perfect additions to contemporary living spaces.

One of the standout features of the Sapphire series is its advanced combustion technology. The fireplaces utilize a patented Clean Burn technology. This innovation ensures that the combustion process is as efficient as possible, resulting in reduced emissions and maximizing heat output. With lower particulate emissions, these models not only provide warmth but do so in an environmentally conscious manner.

In terms of performance, the Sapphire fireplaces are designed to deliver consistent and radiant heat. With their powerful heating capabilities, they can warm up large areas, making them suitable for homes of various sizes. The efficient design helps to distribute heat evenly throughout a room, eliminating cold spots and ensuring comfort in all corners of your living space.

The design aesthetics of the Sapphire series is equally impressive. The models feature a sleek, modern design complemented by a large viewing area, allowing for an unobstructed view of the mesmerizing flames. The glass is designed to remain clean for longer periods, thanks to the sophisticated airflow management system that directs air over the glass surfaces, reducing soot buildup.

Customization options are another notable characteristic of the Sapphire series. Homeowners can choose from various finishes and styles to match their home’s decor. The units are available in both traditional and contemporary designs, allowing for versatility in different architectural settings.

The Sapphire-D-PMH model is equipped with a programmable thermostat for added convenience and efficiency. This technology allows users to set the desired temperature, ensuring that their space remains comfortable without unnecessary manual adjustments.

On the other hand, the Sapphire-D-CSB model features an innovative fuel management system that optimally uses wood fuel for extended burn times. This means less frequent refueling and more time spent enjoying the warmth and ambiance the fireplace provides.

The Sapphire-D-MBK and Sapphire-MBK models are designed with durability and longevity in mind. Each unit is constructed from high-quality materials that are built to withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining structural integrity over time.

In summary, the Quadra-Fire Sapphire series combines advanced technology, unique design, and high efficiency. With features like Clean Burn technology, customizable options, and smart fuel management systems, the Sapphire fireplaces offer not just heat, but a stylish centerpiece for modern homes.
