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.

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

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

Altitudes greater than 4000ft. require a minimum vent run of 12ft.

The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be dis- connected 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).

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

This fireplace must be connected to any accepted lined chimney system listed to ULC-S635M (in Canada) or UL- 1777 (in USA). The venting connection must be in compli- ance with the vent manufacturers installation instructions. The draft hood must be installed so it is in the same atmo- spheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the fireplace.

Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Pro- vide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front open- ing of the fireplace.

This insert must be recessed into a vented noncombus- tible woodburning fireplace (prefabricated or masonry) only. The minimum fireplace size in which the heater is to be installed is:

HEIGHT 17½ inches WIDTH 25½ inches DEPTH 16½ inches The minimum distance, from the bottom of a combustible mantle projecting 6" maximum from the wall to the top of the unit, is 8".

The fireplace, when installed, must be electrically con- nected 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. The blower power cord must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.

When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absense of specific recommendations from the local authority having jurisdic- tion, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum out- put for natural gas is 15,900 BTU/hr and 16,000 BTU/hr for propane.

Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane. This fireplace is certified for bedroom and bedsitting room installation. 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.

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

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool- ing down cycles are normal and to be expected. Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in natu- ral gas than in propane.
