Appliance Certification MODEL: Model Topaz LABORATORY: OMNI Test Laboratories, Inc. 061-S-24-5 TYPE: Direct Vent Gas Heater STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88a-2000ּCSA 2.33a-M00ּ UL307bּCAN/CBA 2.17-M91 The product is listed to ANSI standards for “Vented Gas Appliance Heaters” and applicable sections of “Gas Burning Heating Appliances for Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicles” and "Gas Fired Appliances for use at High Altitudes".
NOTE: The following requirements reference various Massachusetts and national codes not contained in this document. G.
2 Getting Started A. Design & Installation Considerations Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air drawn from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional air source is required. CAUTION Check building codes prior to installation. • Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
3 Appliance Location and Clearances NOTE: · Illustrations reflect typical installations and are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. · Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. · Actual installation may vary due to individual design preference. WARNING Fire Risk Provide adequate clearance: • Around air openings • To combustibles • For service access Locate appliance away from traffic areas. A.

D. How to Use the Vent Graph E. Venting Guidelines 1. NOTES The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 ft. (6m) when the vertical vent rise is 10 ft. (3m). The minimum horizontal vent run is 6 in. (152mm) Horizontal sections require a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise for every 12 in. (305mm) of horizontal travel. Exterior Vent Diameter = 6-5/8 in. (168mm); Inner Vent Diameter = 4 in. (102mm). Horizontal sections require noncombustible support every 3 ft. (914mm), e.g. wall straps.

2. Cathedral Ceiling Step 1. Follow installation Steps 1 and 2 under vertical installation section, page 15. Step 2. Using the plumb-bob, mark the center line of the venting system on the ceiling, and drill a small hole through the ceiling and roof at this point. From the roof, locate the drill hole and mark the outline of the cathedral ceiling support box. Step 3. Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary to cut the rectangular hole for the support box. Cut the hole 1/8 in.

9 Operating Instructions A. Before Lighting Appliance Read this entire manual prior to using the appliance. Failure to follow the instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. • Remove all shipping materials from inside and/or underneath the firebox. • Review proper placement of logs, mineral wool. • Check the wiring. • Check the baffle adjustment. • Ensure that there are no gas leaks. • Ensure that the glass is sealed and in the proper position.
C. Lighting Appliance FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING 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 appliance has a pilot that must be lit manually. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly. B. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
D. After Appliance is Lit CAUTION Initial Break-in Procedure When you light your appliance, you may notice that it produces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation on the glass is normal.
10 Troubleshooting With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis of a problem and the corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualified service technician. Symptom 1. After repeated triggering of the piezo button, the spark ignitor will not light the pilot. 2.
Symptom 3. (Continued) Possible Cause Corrective Action c. Defective valve. Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON position. Check the millivolt meter at the thermopile terminals. The millivolt meter should read greater than 125mV. If the reading is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, replace the gas valve. d. Plugged burner orifice. Check the burner orifice for stoppage. Remove stoppage. e. Wall switch or wires are defective.
11 Maintaining and Servicing Your Appliance Although the frequency of your appliance servicing and maintenance will depend on use and the type of installation, a qualified service technician should perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of each heating season. CAUTION Handle glass assembly with care. NOTE: Clean glass after initial 3-4 hours operation. Longer operation without cleaning glass may cause a permanent white film on glass. WARNING Risk of injury or property damage.
A. Maintenance Tasks Inspect Doors Maintenance Tasks 1. Inspect for scratches, dents or other damage and repair as necessary. 2. Verify no obstructions to air flow. 3. Verify maintenance of proper clearance to combustible household objects. Gasket Seal, Glass Assembly and Glass 1. Inspect gasket seal and its condition. 2. Inspect glass for scratches and nicks that can lead to breakage when exposed to heat. 3. Confirm there is no damage to glass or glass frame, Replace as necessary. 4.
