Safety & Warning Information Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some vapors may be released due to the burning of curing compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation. It is also possible that these vapors could set off any smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.

PAGE 12
Venting The chart below applies to top or rear outlet, roof or wall termination with a vertical rise. All rear outlet venting without a vertical rise must be terminated by a snorkel. How to Read the Venting Chart 1. The total length of the vent pipe cannot exceed 40 feet (12.2 m). 2. The minimum vertical height with roof termination is 8 feet (2.45 m). 3. Any combination of rise and run can be used as long as they are within the allowable limits shown on the chart below. 4.
PAGE 13
Venting Restrictors SOME INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE RESTRICTORS. For improved flame picture and performance, this unit is supplied with two different sets of vent restrictors. The level of restriction required depends on the vertical rise in the venting system and, to a lesser degree, the horizontal run and number of elbows. The amount of restriction is based on laboratory tests.
PAGE 14
Venting Horizontal Vent Termination • The vent terminal must be located on an outside wall or through the roof. • This direct vent appliance is designed to operate when an undisturbed airflow hits the outside vent terminal from any direction. • The minimum clearances from this terminal that must be maintained when located on an outside wall are shown in the figure below. Any reduction in these clearances could result in a disruption of the airflow or a safety hazard.

Appliance Preparation Engine Flip the base upside-down. Place the engine on the base at its approximate final position—see detail below. Center the engine using the holes at front of the base as guidelines. Detail Casting Side Panels On the casting side panels, release the top and bottom screws. 1. Drop a hinge pin on the back corner of base and drop the side panel on the pin. 2. Rotate the panel towards the engine. 3. Repeat with the other casting side panel.
PAGE 18
Appliance Preparation Fixing Casting Side Panels & Engine 1. Adjust the position of the engine to locate the top and bottom screws of the side panels into the slots of the engine’s side bracket. Tighten the top and bottom screws. 2. Adjust the engine as required and fix it to the casting base at bottom of its side brackets with the nuts and bolts provided. Lighting Instructions Plate The lighting instructions plate is attached to the back of the engine and may have slid out of its slot.
PAGE 19
Appliance Preparation Receiver Position Once the gas pipe is fitted, clip the receiver on top of the casting crossbar on the base, to the left hand side of the valve. Make sure the receiver box is oriented with its wires towards the back and its sensor at the front. Receiver & clip Optional Fan (Blower) Receiver clipped to crossbar in final position If the Circulating Fan Kit (blower) is to be installed, we suggest that you do it now. 1.

Ceramic Logs Installation 4. Identify the right cross log; it has a hole under on of its end and it is the shortest cross log. Place it on the right pin located on the rear log. Rest its other end in the crook of the front right log. 5. Identify the middle cross log. It does not have a hole underneath. Place its narrow end on the flat depression in the rear log next to the right cross log on the rear log. Place its wider end on the front log. 6.
