In absence of local codes, install the CVF36 to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 Installation Code

which can be obtained from:

American Nation Standards Institute Inc.

1430 Broadway

New York, NY 10018

The fi replace 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 fi replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the

fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extend- ing 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 cur- rent 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 QUAL- ITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane. When the fi replace is installed at elevations above 2,000ft, and in the absence of specifi c 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.

Suitable for mobile home installation where the mobile home has been permanently placed on its site. This heat- er must not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.

This fireplace may be installed in an aftermarket per- manently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by local codes.

This fireplace is only for use with the type of gas indi- cated on the rating plate. This fireplace is not convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.

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.

CARE OF PLATED PARTS

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.

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth.

This heater is equipped with a pilot light safety system referred to as an OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR and is designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is available.

Use only accessories designed for and

listed with your specific fireplace.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY

LEAD TO DEATH

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resem- ble the fl u, with headache, dizziness and/or nau- sea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.

Some people---pregnant women, persons with heart or lung disease, anaemia, those under the influence of alcohol, those at high altitudes--- are more af- fected by carbon monoxide than others.

Ceiling fans or oscillating type fl oor fans can cause fl ame impingement if directing air at the fi replace. Impinging

flames will cause soot or carbon that may enter into living area. Try reversing ceiling fan or re-directing fl oor fans to prevent sooting.
