CONTINENTAL gas fireplaces are manufactured under the strict Standard of the world recognized ISO9002 Quality Assurance Certificate. CONTINENTAL products are designed with superior components and materials, assembled by trained craftsmen who take great pride in their work. The burner and valve assembly are leak and test-fired at a quality test station.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. In absence of local codes, install the CDV36 and BCDV36 to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.
FIGURE 1b - SPECIFICATIONS FOR MODEL BCDV36 VENTING MODELS CDV36 AND BCDV36 MAY BE VENTED EITHER AS A TOP VENT OR A REAR VENT. REFER TO THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR INSTALLATION. VENTING LENGTHS Use only Wolf Steel or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to.

TYPICAL VENT INSTALLATIONS REAR EXIT TOP EXIT FIGURES 3 * For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a 1 inch rise per foot. When terminating vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 36 inches and a maximum 40 feet from the centre of the fireplace flue outlet. * When using rigid venting, this minimum vertical length may be reduced to 8½".

PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION 15 FAILURE TO INSTALL THE CAP WILL CAUSE THE FIREPLACE TO FUNCTION IMPROPERLY AND CAN CAUSE INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. SEE TOP EXIT PREPARATION FOR DETAILS. For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a 1 inch rise per foot. REAR EXIT: TOP EXIT: Remove the baffle from the back of the firebox (Model CDV36 only) by removing the four screws. FIGURE 20. Remove the baffle from the back of the firebox (Model CDV36 only) by removing the four screws.
INSTALLATION WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE, FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. NOTE: REAR EXIT - A clearance to combustibles of 1" at the bottom of the vent and 2" at the top must be maintained during the first 12" of venting when penetrating combustible walls. The firestop spacer (DV-615.044) supplied with the unit should be used to maintain this clearance. Thereafter a 1" clearance to combustibles may be maintained using firestop spacer (GD-500.96).
USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS 17 Use only approved aluminum flexible liner kits marked: "Wolf Steel Approved Venting" as identified by the stamp only on the 7 outer liner. HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION FIGURE 27 1. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminium flexible liner to the required length taking into account the additional length needed for the finished wall surface.
6. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2 inches above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight FIGURE 31 seal between the air terminal and the collar is achieved. Attach the other storm collar centered between the air intake and the air exhaust slots onto the air terminal. Tighten securely. FIGURE 31. Attach the vertical rain cap. FIREPLACE VENT CONNECTION 1.
VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION Before attaching elbows to the collars on the back of the fireplace, 1½" will need to be trimmed off the 4" collar. REAR VENT APPLICATION: Attach 4" and 7" elbows to the fireplace. Secure with 3 screws and seal the joints and screw heads using high temperature sealant. Proceed to step 1 below. TOP VENT APPLICATION: 1. Move the fireplace into position. 2. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided. FIGURE 30. The roof support is optional.
GAS INSTALLATION FRAMING Proceed once the vent installation is complete. 1. Move the fireplace into position and secure using the nailing tabs and/or secure to the floor through the ¼"ø holes located at either end of the base. 2. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L copper tubing or equivalent to the fireplace. 3. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient location.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the fireplace but must not cover or protrude past any of the black face-areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas. To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall, position the NAILING framework to accommodate TAB the thickness of the finished wall. Bend out the four nailing tabs, attached on either side of the fireplace and secure to the 2x4 framing.
LOG PLACEMENT PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers, exclusive to Continental Fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glowing effect that is different in every installation. Take the time to carefully position the glowing embers for a maximum glowing effect. Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the fireplace, the colours will become more uniform as colour pigments burn in during the heat activated curing process. FIGURES 45a-e #5 3.
OPTIONAL BLOWER INSTALLATION blac red k wh ite FIGURE 46 INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER and must be electrically connected 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 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States If the fireplace was not previously equipped with a blower: route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power cable to the receptacle / junction box.
OPTIONAL FAN INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER and must be connected 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 70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States. To safely install the fan, turn off the electricity first.
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE 1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs to expose both assemblies. 2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacu- FF O ON O I P I L OT power before servicing the fireplace. CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE BEFORE 29 ATTEMPTING TO TROUBLESHOOT, PURGE YOUR UNIT AND INITIALLY LIGHT THE PILOT AND THE MAIN BURNER WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPEN. TEST SOLUTION SYMPTOM PROBLEM Main burner goes out; pilot stays on. Pilot flame is not large enough or not engulfing the thermopile - turn up pilot flame. - replace pilot assembly. Thermopile shorting - clean thermopile connection to the valve. Reconnect. - replace thermopile / valve. - shorten wire to correct length or wire gauge.
SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION Pilot goes out while standing; Main burner is in 'OFF' position. Gas piping is undersized. - turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot flame flutters, diminishes or extinguishes, especially when main burner ignites. Monitor appliance supply working pressure. - check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized piping. Flames are consistently too large or too small. Carboning occurs. Unit is over-fired or underfired.
