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 BCDV48 to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.
FIGURE 1 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW FIGURE 2 W415-0327 / B / 12.07.
VENTING For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed. Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attic, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.
MINIMUM AIR TERMINAL LOCATION CLEARANCES FIGURE 3 W415-0327 / B / 12.07.
TYPICAL MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VENT LENGTHS NOTE: When terminating vertically, the restrictor plate W5000205 must be installed. Refer to Restricting Vertical Vents. FIGURES 4 a-b SPECIAL VENT INSTALLATIONS PERISCOPE TERMINATION Use only GD401 periscope kit to locate the air termination above grade. The periscope must be installed so that when final grading is completed, the bottom air slot is located a minimum of 12" above grade. FIGURE 5 W415-0327 / B / 12.07.

Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet 15.
INSTALLATION WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 2" all around the vent pipe in 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).
USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS Do not allow the inside flexible vent pipe to bunch up on ELBOW horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1 1/4" air gap between the inner and the outer vent pipe SPACERS all around is required for safe operation. A spacer is required at the start, middle and end of each elbow to ensure this gap is maintained. For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the venting instructions exactly.
USING RIGID VENT COMPONENTS The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel vent spacers or equivalent every 3 feet and either side of each elbow to maintain the minimum 1¼" clearance between the outer and inner vent pipes. Use Wolf Steel support ring assembly or equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum clearance to combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs.
GAS INSTALLATION Proceed once the vent installation is complete. NOTE: All gas connections must be contained within the fireplace when complete. 1. Move the fireplace into position and secure to the floor through the 1/4" holes located at either side of the base. 2. The fireplace is designed to accept 3/8" gas supply line. The fireplace is equipped with a 3/8" manual shut-off valve. 3. Connect the gas supply in accordance to local codes.
FIGURE 36 MINIMUM MANTEL AND ENCLOSURE CLEARANCES Minimum clearance to combustible construction from fireplace and vent surfaces: Framing 0" to stand-offs Finishing 0" to rear, sides and bottom Non-combustible finishing 8" to top All around the vent pipe 2" Recessed depth 23" Enclosure top 55" from bottom of unit Clearance to ceiling 84" from bottom of unit Combustible mantel clearance can vary according to the mantel depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clearance needed.
FINISHING NAILING TAB INSTALLATION 1) Attach the nailing tabs to the corner posts using the 2 sheet metal screws supplied. Secure through the centre of the top and bottom slots in the nailing FIGURE 39 tab and then through the existing holes in the corner posts. If there are no existing holes, follow these instructions: Position the nailing tab so that the front face is offset with the front edge of the corner post (approx. ½"). Centre the nailing tab vertically on the corner post. Figure 40 a.
4. Place the small branch of log#5 into the notch on log#3. The notch on the charred edge of log#5 sits on the outer left grate post. #6 5. Place the small end of log#6 into the front notch of log#4. Place the locating hole in the large end of log#6 onto the locating pin on top of log#2. #7 GLOWING EMBERS Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row of ports covering all of the burner area in front of the small logs (#2 & #3).
OPTIONAL BLOWER INSTALLATION FIGURE 44 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 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.
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE 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 curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off.
ADJUSTMENTS PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow. Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be established.
REPLACEMENTS Contact your dealer or the factory for questions concerning prices and policies on replacement parts. Normally all parts can be ordered through your Continental® dealer or distributor. When ordering replacement parts always give the following information: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT PARTS, A PHOTOCOPY OF THE ORIGINAL INVOICE * IDENTIFIES ITEMS WHICH ARE NOT ILLUSTRATED. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT YOUR CONTINENTAL® DEALER. WILL BE REQUIRED TO HONOUR THE CLAIM.

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 Main burner goes out; pilot stays on. PROBLEM 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 Flames are consistently too large or too small. Carboning occurs. Unit is over-fired or under-fired. - check pressure readings: Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the test point. Gauge should read 7" (minimum 4.5") water column for natural gas or 13" (11" minimum) water column for propane. Check that main burner is operating on "HI".
