Safety & Warning Information READ and UNDERSTAND all instructions carefully before starting the installation. FAILURE TO FOLLOW these installation instructions may result in possible fire hazard and will void the warranty. Prior to the first firing of the fireplace, READ the Owner’s Information section of this manual. DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been under water.
OWNER’S INFO Safety & Warning Information Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some vapors may be released due to the burning of curing compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation.
Safety & Warning Information OWNER’S INFO 1. Detailed instructions for the installation of the venting system design or the venting system components; and 2. A complete parts list for the venting system design or venting system. (d) MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS - GAS EQUIPMENT VENTING SYSTEM NOT PROVIDED.
INSTALLATION Specifications Approval & Codes This appliance is certified to ANSI Z21.88-2009/ CSA 2.33-2009 American National Standard / CSA Standard for Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters for use in Canada and USA, and to CGA 2.17-91 High Altitude Standard in Canada. This appliance is for direct vent installations. Conversion between fuels may only be done using the approved conversion kits listed on page 33. This appliance complies with CSA P4.1-09 Testing method for measuring annual fireplace efficiencies.
Dimensions & Clearances INSTALLATION Dimensions—Traditional Gas Stove MFCS01 and MFCS02 (for Dimensions of Contemporary Gas Stove MFCS04, see instructions provided with the MFCS04) Inlet collar Ø 6-5/8” Gas inlet position 3/8” fem. 17-7/8” NPT Exhaust collar Ø 4” 4” x Center line 28-1/2” Supplied with top vent; field convertible to rear vent 23” 30-1/2” 25-1/8” Gas inlet position 3/8” fem.

Venting INSTALLATION Top / Rear Outlet Wall Thickness This unit is shipped with a top outlet collar which is field-convertible to rear outlet—see page 21 for details. The appliance vent is suitable for penetrating a combustible wall assembly up to 14 inches (36 cm) in thickness. A non-combustible wall can be of any thickness up to the maximum horizontal run of vent pipe allowed for the particular installation.
Venting INSTALLATION Typical Venting Components See list of approved venting pipes and accessories on pages 37–38. Maximum pipe length: 24” (straight out with snorkel) 14” (45° elbow out with snorkel) Snorkel required (min.
Venting 4. A maximum of 5 x 90 degrees elbows or equivalent (2 x 45 degrees = 90 degrees) can be used. 5. Each 90 degrees elbow installed on the horizontal plane is equivalent to a 3 feet horizontal pipe; therefore, 3 feet must be subtracted from allowable horizontal run. (45 degrees elbow is equivalent to 18 inches horizontal pipe.) 6. All horizontal pipe runs must be graded 1/4 inch per foot upwards in the direction of the exhaust flow. 7.
Venting INSTALLATION Restrictors SOME INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE RESTRICTORS. For improved flame picture and performance, this unit is supplied with two different sets of vent restrictors. The level of restriction required depends on the vertical rise in the venting system and, to a lesser degree, the horizontal run and number of elbows. The amount of restriction is based on laboratory tests.
Venting Horizontal Vent Termination • The vent terminal must be located on an outside wall or through the roof. • This direct vent appliance is designed to operate when an undisturbed airflow hits the outside vent terminal from any direction. • The minimum clearances from this terminal that must be maintained when located on an outside wall are shown in the figure below. INSTALLATION Any reduction in these clearances could result in a disruption of the airflow or a safety hazard.

Ask the homeowner if you are not sure. Consider visibility of shut-off valve or step-down regulators, etc.
Appliance Preparation INSTALLATION Window & Log Pack 1. Release the spring bolts at top and bottom of the window by pushing and turning 1/4 turn. 2. Lift the window and set it aside in a safe place to avoid damage. 3. Remove the log pack from inside the firebox and set it aside with the window. Please handle the logs carefully as they are made of fragile material and can easily be damaged. x4 Casting Base 1. Rough-in the gas line and electrical wiring for a fan (if any). 2.
INSTALLATION Appliance Preparation Engine—Traditional Stove MFCS01 and MFCS02 only Flip the base upside-down. Place the engine on the base at its approximate final position—see detail below. Center the engine using the holes at front of the base as guidelines. Detail The instructions in this manual cover installation of the Madrona Traditional Stove (MF28 engine + MFCS01 or MFCS02 Traditional Castings).
Appliance Preparation INSTALLATION Fixing Casting Side Panels & Engine Remote Control Receiver 1. Adjust the position of the engine to locate the top and bottom screws of the side panels into the slots of the engine’s side bracket. Tighten the top and bottom screws. Under the engine, the receiver box is clipped to the burner pipes to facilitate transportation. Unclip the box and let it hang while you fit the gas pipe.
Appliance Preparation INSTALLATION Receiver Position Once the gas pipe is fitted, clip the receiver on top of the casting crossbar on the base, to the left hand side of the valve. Make sure the receiver box is oriented with its wires towards the back and its sensor at the front. Receiver & clip Receiver clipped to crossbar in final position Optional Fan (Blower) If the Circulating Fan Kit (blower) is to be installed, we suggest that you do it now. 1. Take the fan out of its package. 2.
Appliance Preparation INSTALLATION Venting Outlet If the appliance is to be vented from the top, it is ready for vent installation once the engine is on the casting base. If the appliance is to be vented from the rear, it must be converted. Follow these simple steps: 1. Remove the following parts in this order: a) Dura-Vent collar, gasket and intake plate from the top of the appliance (22 screws of the intake plate and 2 rear screws of the collar); b) Exhaust collar (8 screws).
INSTALLATION Supply Gas Installation • The gas supply inlet connection is a 3/8 inch NPT female connector. For detailed location of this connector see the drawing on page 8. If a circulating fan or isolating valve is to be installed, adjust the routing of the gas line to suit. • Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper tubing if acceptable—check local codes. Note that in USA, copper tubing must be internally tinned for protection against sulfur compounds.
Ceramic Logs Installation Unpack the ceramic logs very carefully to avoid damaging their fragile material. Install the logs as shown below. Please note that the position of the logs is critical to insure the good performance of the appliance. 1. Place the rear log centering it side to side in the firebox. Position forward until it sits against the sheet metal return behind the burner. INSTALLATION 4. Identify the right cross log; it has a hole under on of its end and it is the shortest cross log.
INSTALLATION Window Refitting To refit the window, place it on the firebox frame and hold it in place while pushing and turning its fastening studs 90 degrees. IMPORTANT: To ensure a safe operation, verify that the studs are fastened properly to the window tabs; then, pull out the top of the window and release it to insure the springs return it. Then, apply light hand pressure against the window frame sides to bed-in the window seal.
Operation Check & Aeration Settings Adjustment Operation Check Turn the fireplace flame up and down using the remote control to confirm that the full range of inputs is achieved—see the remote control operation instructions on pages 30–34. Aeration Settings Light the fire and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15 minutes to evaluate the flame picture. The burner is equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary aeration. See the figures below.
INSTALLATION Front & Top Installation Top Casting Place the top casting piece on the top of the stove ensuring the rear edge is flush with the rear edge of the cast side panels. Fill in the vent space with the infill plate if using a rear vent. To level the top casting, unscrew the levelling bolts on the top rear of each casting side panel as appropriate. The instructions in this manual cover installation of the Madrona Traditional Stove (MF28 engine + MFCS01 or MFCS02 Traditional Castings).
