GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SER- VICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important to know the specifics that apply to your area, for example: in Massachusetts State:

The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in the open posiiton 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.

A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fired appliances

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 CAN1-B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States. Mobile home installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, install to the current standard for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series in Canada or ANSI Z223.1and NFPA 54 in the United States.

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

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

All horizontal runs must have a ¼ inch rise per foot.

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

The stove and its individual shutoff valve must be discon- nected from the gas supply piping system during any pres- sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/ 2 psig (3.5 kPa). The stove 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).

A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the stove.

The stove, when installed with a blower, must be electri- cally connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States. The blower power cord must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS STOVE HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL- ITY!

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. For elevations between 2,000 and 4,500 feet above sea level, this fireplace must be de-rated by 10% using the certified high altitude kit. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absense of specific recommendations 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.

Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in natural gas than in propane. Expansion / con- traction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.

GDS50: Maximum input is 44,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 40,000 BTU/hr for propane. Maximum output for natural gas is 37,000 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 84% with the fan on; Maximum output for propane is 34,400 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 86% with the fan on. Maximum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 77% for natural gas and 79% for propane. This stove is not approved for closet or recessed installations. It is approved for bath- room, bedroom and bed-sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile homes. The natural gas model is suit- able for installation in a mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site and fueled with natural gas.

hr at an efficiency of 77% with the fan on and

71% with the fan off; and 30,000 BTU/hr for pro-

pane at an efficiency of 78% with the fan on and 73% with the fan off. Minimum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization effi- ciency) rating is 65% for natural gas and 67% for propane. This stove is approved for bedroom and bed-sitting room installations.
