GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important to know the specifics that apply to your area, 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.

BCDV36CF(G) PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION (THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE BCDV42CF) For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a 1" rise per foot. REMOVING THE VALVE ACCESS DOOR 1. The valve access door rotates on the pins attached to the side frame. Lift the valve access door off the pins to operate the main glass door. FIGURE 43 DOOR OPERATION FIGURE 44 To access the lower door latch, open the Valve Access Door as illustrated.
BCDV42CF HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 2" all around the vent pipe on all horizontal runs to combustibles is required. Use firestop spacer W010-1778 (supplied). VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum of 1" all around the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required. Use firestop spacer W500-0028 (not supplied). HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION FIGURE 47 BCDV36CF(G) ONLY This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall.
VERTICAL INSTALLATION 1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9 3/4" for the BCDV36CF(G), or 10 3/4" for the BCDV42CF square opening in the ceiling and an opening in the roof to provide the minimum 1" clearance between the fireplace vent pipe and any combustible material. Try to center the exhaust pipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
5. Using the air intake vent pipe, slide over the fireplace combustion air collar and secure with 3 #8 screws. Seal with high temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied). 6. If more flexible vent pipe needs to be used to reach the fireplace, coupler them together as illustrated in Figure 59. The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum 1" clearance to combustibles. 7.
EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AND CORNER AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Follow the instructions for "Horizontal Air Terminal Installations", items 1 to 3. 2. Continue adding components alternating inner and outer venting. Ensure that all exhaust venting and elbows have sufficient vent spacers attached and each component is securely fastened to the one prior. Attach the exhaust telescopic sleeve to the vent run. Repeat using a air intake vent pipe telescopic sleeve. Secure and seal as before.
RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS BCDV42CF ONLY: Vertical terminations may display a very active flame. As this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted using restrictor plate, W500-0205. This reduces the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and creating a more traditional appearance. The plate has a series of holes to allow for adjustment. Remove the two screws on either side of the exhaust collar inside the firebox. Install the plate as shown.
FRAMING MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION FROM FIREPLACE AND VENT BCDV36CF(G) SURFACES: Non-Combustible framing: Top 0" to stand-offs if using optional clean face surround Combustible framing: Sides, back, and bottom of the unit 0" to stand-offs* Top 3 1/2" to stand-offs if using optional clean face surround Non-combustible finishing: Top 6 1/2" if using optional clean face surround Combustible fireplace finishing: Sides, bottom and top 0" to fireplace edge Enclosure top 8 1/4" to top of fireplace
INSTALLING STANDOFFS Both the BCDV36CF(G) and BCDV42CF are supplied with two standoffs. For convenience, the standoffs have been shipped flat and located on the top at the front. Before framing ensure the standoffs are bent up and screwed into place ensuring a height of 4.5". FIGURE 66 BCDV36CF ILLUSTRATION NOTE: The information and dimensions in this section represent the minimum clearances to combustible material.

RECEPTACLE WIRING DIAGRAM FIGURE 127 OPERATION BCDV36CF & BCDV42CF Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace removed or opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before installing the door. When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again.
OPERATION BCDV36CFG FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING ! WARNING IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. A. THIS FIREPLACE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN IGNITION DEVICE WHICH AUTOMATICALLY LIGHTS THE PILOT. DO NOT TRY TO LIGHT BY HAND. B. BEFORE OPERATING SMELL ALL AROUND THE FIREPLACE AREA FOR GAS AND NEXT TO THE FLOOR BECAUSE SOME GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL SETTLE ON THE FLOOR. C.
ADJUSTMENTS PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT EXCLUDING BCDV36CFG Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow. FIGURE 128 FIGURE 129 VENTURI ADJUSTMENT These settings are for (maximum) horizontal termination. Adjustment may be required depending on fuel type, vent configuration and altitude. FIGURE 130 Closing the air shutter 1/16" 0 NG 1/4" will cause a more yellow flame, but can lead 1/4" 0 LP 7/16" to carboning.

BCDV36CFG TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TROUBLESHOOT, PURGE YOUR UNIT AND INITIALLY LIGHT THE PILOT AND THE MAIN BURNER WITH THE GLASS DOOR REMOVED. SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION Pilot will not light Wiring - Verify the "S" wire for the sensor and the "I" wire for the ignitor are connected to the correct terminals (not reverse) on the module and pilot assembly.
BCDV36CFG TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION Carbon is being deposited on glass, logs or combustion chamber surfaces. Air shutter has become blocked - Ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other obstructions. Flame is impinging on the logs or combustion chamber. - Check that the logs are correctly positioned. - Open air shutter to increase the primary air. - Check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and orifice size as specified by the rating plate values.
BCDV36CF / BCDV42CF TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM Pilot will not light PROBLEM No Spark at pilot burner TEST SOLUTION - Check if pilot can be lit by a match Check that the wire is connected to the push button igniter. Check if the push button igniter needs tightening. Replace the wire if the wire insulation is broken or frayed. Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulator is cracked or broken. Replace the push button igniter. Out of propane gas - Fill the tank.
