Installation (for qualified installers only) 7 Installation Warnings ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Failure to follow all of the requirements may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. This heater must be installed by a qualified installer who has gone through a training program for the installation of direct vent gas appliances. This appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, in U.S.A. follow ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54(88), in Canada follow CSA B149.1.
Installation (for qualified installers only) 8 Installation Hints Recommended Optional Equipment Installation Order: -- Rear Vent Conversion (if applicable) -- GreenSmart Remote -- Blower -- LP Conversion and other optional equipment (fireback) Install the media (logs, driftwood, or stone set) last - they are fragile. When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal penetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations).
Installation (for qualified installers only) 9 Top to Rear Vent Modification NOTE: The rear vent parts are included in the Minimum Vent Kit “D” (sku 96200317). If using the rear vent configuration, make sure to review vent configuration before proceeding.
Installation (for qualified installers only) 10 Heater Placement Requirements • • Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent. Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Installation (for qualified installers only) 11 Optional Wall Switch or Thermostat Installation Do not connect 110-120 VAC to the gas control valve or wiring system of this stove. The switch must be installed by a qualified installer. Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Note: When using a GreenSmart™ remote, use the receiver for on/off operation (do not use a wall switch or thermostat).
Installation (for qualified installers only) 12 Gas Line Installation ! ! • • • • • The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow current ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA 54 in the USA and the current CSA B149.1 in Canada.

For pressures under 1/2 psig (3.
Installation (for qualified installers only) 13 Vent Requirements • The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use its own separate vent system. In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent. When the vent passes through a wall a wall thimble is required.
Installation (for qualified installers only) 14 Approved Vent Configurations Exhaust Restrictor Position • An exhaust restrictor is built into the appliance to control the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper flames for the wide variety of vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for approved vent configurations describe which position the vent restrictor should be in.
Installation (for qualified installers only) 15 Closing the Diffuser (for top vent configurations only) IMPORTANT NOTE: The diffuser can be easily closed with no vent in place. Consult the vent configuration charts to determine diffuser position. If the diffuser needs to be in the closed position, adjust the diffuser prior to installing vent. • To close the diffuser, reach into the vent starter section and bend the diffuser back (see photos below).

If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs, driftwood, or stone 2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up. 3. Make sure the accent light works correctly.
Installation (for qualified installers only) 9. 25 Check the air shutter following the directions below. Air Shutter Adjustment Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the media and glass are in place). The flames should be yellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame. Correct Flames should be blue at the base, yellow-orange on the top. Not Enough Air If the flames are too tall or sooty on the ends, open the air shutter.

Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Operation 30 Starting the Stove for the First Time Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will cure the painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This is normal. We recommend opening a window to vent the room. Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the stove - this is normal. Blue Flames will occur on the stove when it first comes on.

If scratches occur, lightly sand the area with fine sandpaper. Clean the area and, with the stove cool, apply one or two thin coats of stove paint to the area (mask the area to avoid overspray). Allow the stove to dry, then turn the stove on to cure the paint (1 hour on medium).
Maintenance 34 (for qualified service personnel only) Accent Light Replacement An accent light is included in your stove to provide additional lighting. To replace the bulb, follow the directions below: Disconnect stove from power. Shut off gas to the stove. Make sure the stove is cool before proceeding (15 minutes).
