Safety Information
Due to the high operating temperatures this appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture, draperies, etc. Maintain proper clearance to combustible mantels and fireplace trim.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Young children should be supervised while they are in the same room as the Acadia gas fireplace.
Surveiller les enfants. Garder les vetements, les meubles, l’essence ou autres liquides a vapeur inflammables loin de l’appareil.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed ON or NEAR the Acadia gas fireplace.
Never allow any to use the fireplace if they are unfamiliar with its operation.
NEVER store or use gasoline or any other flam- mable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the Acadia gas fireplace.
Never burn any solid materials (wood, cardboard, paper, coal, etc.) in this gas fireplace. Use with natural gas or propane fuel ONLY.
Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
Do not slam or strike the glass panel.
Wear gloves and safety glases while performing maintenance procedures.
Electrical Hazard
Be aware of electrical wiring locations when cutting holes in walls and ceilings for termination.
The optional Acadia Blower (155630) must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code or CSA
The Acadia Blower is supplied with a
Always disconect the power supply when per- forming routine service on the fireplace.
Installation
Requirements
The GZ 550 DV Acadia Gas Fireplace and its vent system must be installed within a totally enclosed structure. The fireplace must be connected to the specified vent and termination cap outside the building. Do not vent into another room or inside any part of a building. Under no circumstances may the flow of combustion or ventilation air be ob- structed.
The approved vent configurations described herein are derived from extensive testing under controlled laboratory conditions. Gas appliance performance can be negatively affected by variables present in the installation environment, i.e: strong prevailing winds, steep roofs, nearby trees, snow accumulation, etc. These conditions should be taken into consideration by the installer and home owner. In such instances, system performance can often be improved by an increase in the vent height or installation of a high wind termination cap.
Placement and Framing
The combustible framing members of the fireplace enclosure may be placed in direct contact with the fireplace cabinet as specified in the illustrations on the following pages. Use the standoffs integrated into the sides and top of the front opening to locate a combustible header and side framing members as shown in the illustrations. See fig. 1.
Electrical Power: If the optional Blower (#155630) will be used, be sure to include provision for a properly grounded, 120 volt house current outlet at the fireplace structure.
Parallel Installation
Although it is possible to place combustible framing members in direct contact with the rear surface of the cabinet, the fireplace must be located forward of the back wall with adequate clearance to accom- modate the vent adaptor and subsequent lengths of vent pipe. Consideration must also be given to maintaining a minimum 1 inch (25 mm) clearance between a vertical vent pipe and any combustible materials to the rear of the unit. See Figs. 2, 3, and 4.
Corner Installation
A corner installation will require that the Vent Adaptor be installed in a top exit position. Horizontal terminations will then require use of a 90° elbow. Figs. 5 and 5a show rear termination with 5/8 Simpson
