GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. Installation practices vary from region to re- gion and it is important to know the specifics that apply to your area,

Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the door.

Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.

Eight (8") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for the 7" diameter flexible air liner.

Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operat- ing the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.

for example: in Massachusetts State:

•The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.

•The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.

•The flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.

•The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion product.

•WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN/CGA - B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States. Suitable for mobile home installation if installed in accor- dance with the current standard CAN/CSA Z240MH Series, for gas equipped mobile homes, in Canada or ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54 in the United States.

The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be discon- nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the fire- place shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.

The optional heat circulating blower is supplied with a cord. If installed, the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRI- CAL CODE in Canada or theANSI/NFPA70 NATIONAL ELEC- TRICAL CODE in the United States.

Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" from the front face of the unit.

Minimum clearance to combustible construction from fireplace and vent surfaces:

fireplace framing	- 0" to stand-offs (top, rear and sides)
fireplace finishing - 3" to sides, 7¼" to top of unit
vent pipe	-	2 inches *
recessed depth	-	16 inches

*The first 2 feet of outer 7 inch diameter vent pipe from the appliance must be wrapped in the 1" thick insulation sleeve (supplied). There must be a 1inch air gap in addi- tion to the insulation sleeve. See Figure 34.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 35,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 33,000 BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed at eleva- tions above 4,500ft, and in the absense of specific recom- mendations from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum output for natural gas is 28,350 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 81%; and 26,400 BTU/ hr for propane at an efficiency of 80%. Minimum A.F.U.E. rating is 64% for natural gas and 65% for propane. Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for propane. Manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane.

This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed- sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in a mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site and fueled with natural gas.
