Step 2. Framing the Fireplace Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The diagram below shows framing reference dimensions. CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING. NON-COMBUSTIBLE ZONE IS DEFINED BY 3” ABOVE THE ELBOW FOR THE ENTIRE WIDTH AND DEPTH (BEHIND THE FRONT HEADER) OF THE FIREBOX.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System ! A. Vent System Approvals These models have vent starting collars on both the top and the back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain on the starting collar NOT used. WARNING: YOU MUST NOT MIX DVP-SERIES AND SL D-SERIES COMPONENTS IN ANY VENT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION.
PAGE 19
Flex Vent The flex vent must be supported with the spacing between support intervals not exceeding 4 feet, with no more than ½ inch sag between supports. A support is required at each change in venting direction, and in any location where it is necessary to maintain the necessary clearance to combustibles. A simple “up and out” installation (Figure 9) requires only enough support to maintain the necessary clearance to combustibles.

B. Installing Vent Components After determining which set of starting collars will be used (top or rear), follow venting instructions accordingly. DVP Series Venting Only: Venting Out the Rear Vent (See Figure 21) Remove the installed rear seal cap from the rear starting collars by cutting the strap at each end. Remove the insulation inside the 5” collar. Follow the vent configuration tables accordingly. Refer to Cinch Pipe and Termination Cap installation instructions.
PAGE 29
SL-D and SL-Flex Series Venting Only: 1. Attach the First Vent Component to the Starting Collars To attach the first vent component to the starting collars of the fireplace: • Lock the vent components into place by sliding the concentric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed component end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.
PAGE 30
DVP, SL-D and SL-Flex Series Venting: For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes. STEP 4. Install Firestops For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes. NOTE: Model DVP-TRAP or SLK-01TRD does not need an exterior firestop on an exterior combustible wall.
PAGE 31
If the area above the ceiling is NOT an attic, position and secure the ceiling firestop on the ceiling side of the previously cut and framed hole. C. Vent Termination SL-Series Venting Only: For Horizontal Terminations - To attach and secure the termination to the last section of horizontal vent: • Rotate and interlock the ends as described at the beginning of the Installing Vent Components section. JOIST • The termination kit should pass through the wall firestops from the exterior of the building.

For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install the vent sections: To seal the roof hole, and to divert rain and snow from the vent system: • Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the underside of the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint. • Attach a flashing to the roof using nails, and use a nonhardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base where it meets the roof. • Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint nail.

Step 4. Positioning, Leveling, and Securing the Fireplace The diagram below shows how to properly position, level, and secure the fireplace. Step 5. The Gas Control Systems ! WARNING: THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL. The gas control system used with this model is Standing Pilot Ignition. WARNING: To ensure proper clearances the front framing header must be installed on its narrow edge and to the front of the frame.
PAGE 35
Step 6. The Gas Supply Line NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with local building codes by a qualified installer approved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In the state of Massachusetts installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter). NOTE: Before the first firing of the fireplace, the gas supply line should be purged of any trapped air.

PAGE 38
Positioning the Logs If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged separately, refer to the instructions that accompany the logs. Save the log instructions with this manual. If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement. • Place dime size pieces of ember material about 1/2 inch apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press embers into burner ports.

Step 12. Before Lighting the Fireplace Step 13. Lighting the Fireplace Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following: You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components. Now you’re ready to light the fireplace. Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.

4 Maintaining and Servicing Your Fireplace Fireplace Maintenance Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and maintenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you should have a qualified service technician perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of each heating season. See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each fireplace maintenance task. Checking Vent System Frequency: Before initial use and at least annually thereafter, more frequently if possible.
PAGE 42
5 Troubleshooting Symptom 1. After repeated triggering of the red or black piezo button, the spark ignitor will not light the pilot. 2. The pilot will not stay lit after carefully following the lighting instructions. Possible Cause With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas fireplace will provide years of trouble-free service.
PAGE 43
Troubleshooting (continued) Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action 3. (Continued) f. High limit switch is defective or has reached its maximum temperature. Allow the unit to cool. If the burner remains lit after the fireplace warms up, the switch is good. 4. Frequent pilot outage problem. a. Pilot flame may be too high or too low, or blowing (high), causing pilot safety to drop out. Clean and adjust the pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on thermocouple.
