GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. In absence of local codes, install the BCDV48 to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.

Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important to know the specifi cs that apply to your area, ie: in Massachusetts State:

•The fi replace damper must be removed or welded in

the open position prior to installation of a fi replace insert or gas log.

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

•The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36".

•The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless unit is direct-vent.

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

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 ZA240 MH Series in Canada or the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home Installations, Sites and Communities Standard ANSI/NFPA 501A in the United States.

The fireplace and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected 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 shut off 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 fi replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the fi replace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.

If the optional fan or blower is 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 ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST- FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 36,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 36,000 BTU/hr for propane. When the fi replace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific recommendations from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certifi ed high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft.

Maximum output is 23,500 BTU/hr at an effi ciency of 65%. The maxi- mum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization effi ciency) rating is 62%.

Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5" water column for natural gas and 11" water column for propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7" water column for natural gas and 13" water column for propane. Manifold pressure under fl ow conditions is 3.5" water column for natural gas and 10" water column for propane.

This fi replace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home installation.

No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required for the gas system operation.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. The BCDV48 is factory equipped with tempered glass. The glass thickness is 3/16". Use only replacement glass available from your Continental® dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. Clean the glass after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with a recommended gas fi replace glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required. DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or blemishes may result.

Use only accessories designed for and listed with your spe-

cific fireplace.

Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate accessibil- ity clearance for servicing and operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the venting instruction exactly.

Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create dif- ficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.

Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.

In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recom- mended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be 'finished', (i.e. drywall/sheetrock) as would any other outside wall of the home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is main- tained within the cavity.

Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.

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