Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes
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
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:

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.
