IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Before enclosing the vent pipe assembly, operate the appliance to ensure it is venting properly. • If this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The base referred to above does not mean the fireproof base as used on wood stoves. The protection is for rugs that are extremely thick and light colored tile.
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP GAS Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause fires and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless. You may not know all the following safety precautions which can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point by point with the members of your household. Someday when there may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend on knowing exactly what to do.
INTRODUCTION Instructions to Installer 1. Installer must leave instruction manual with owner after installation. 2.

GAS SUPPLY (CONT) Checking Manifold Pressures Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold pressure of approximately 3.5" w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5" w.c. (1.120kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 10.0" w.c. (2.
INSTALLATION Framing and Finishing 1. Choose unit location. 2. Frame in fireplace with a header across the top. It is important to allow for the finished face thickness when setting the depth of the frame. See Figures 9 & 11. 3. Attach fireplace to framing using (4) adjustable nailing flanges. Preset depth to suit facing material (adjustable to 1/2", 5/8" or 3/4" depths). 4.

VENTING Vent Runs In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to install certain components before the appliance is completely positioned and installed. These include the vent system, gas piping for the appliance, Fresh Air Kit, and the electrical wiring. (The fan option is available for louvered models only. Electric ignition models will require electrical service to junction box). The appliance can be mounted on any of the following surfaces: 1.
VENTING (CONT) Offset Venting - With Elbows Vent Size Model BVD34FP series uses a 4" B-Vent for operation. Models BVD36FP and BVP42FP series use a 6" B-Vent for operation. Never downsize venting diameters. Maximum horizontal distance is 50% of vertical vent height Clearances Vent clearances are per vent manufacturer's specifications Vent Configuration Various venting configurations are shown in Figures 14 and 15 from which maximum vent runs can be determined.
LOG PLACEMENT (5 LOG SET) Before you begin: if you are installing logs into the BVD34 or BVD36 model, then this fireplace is supplied with a set of five ceramic fiber logs. Do not handle these logs with your bare hands! Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After handling logs, wash your hands gently with soap and water to remove any traces of fibers. The positioning of the logs is critical to the safe and clean operation of this fireplace.
LOG PLACEMENT (3 LOG SET) Before you begin: If you are installing logs into the BVP42 model then this fireplace is supplied with a set of three ceramic fiber logs. Do not handle these logs with your bare hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After handling logs, wash your hands gently with soap and water to remove any traces of fiber. The positioning of logs is critical to safe and clean operation of this fireplace.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 750 Millivolt System The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF. The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating instructions at all times. Lower the door assembly to view the gas controls for the fireplace. When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts (electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT) STANDING PILOT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The fireplace is equipped with a 15 foot length of wire that can be used to connect the valve to a wall switch (installer provided) or remote control receiver. See instructions packed with each of the following optional switches or controls for proper installation, operation, and maintenance. Wall Switch, FWS-1 (optional) On millivolt valve models, a 15' wall switch wire is included.

DIRECT IGNITION LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 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. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all 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.
DIRECT IGNITION TROUBLESHOOTING With proper installation and maintenance, your new Gas Fireplace will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a problem, refer to the troubleshooting guide below. This guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis of problems and the corrective action to be taken. Refer to page 24 for initial startup and GAS Line purge instructions.
DIRECT IGNITION PROPANE/LP GAS CONVERSION 1. Turn off the gas supply. 2. Turn off the electrical supply to the appliance if so equipped. 3. Open or remove glass doors if applicable. 4. Remove top louver and lower bottom louver. 5. Remove logs from burner assembly. VALVE CONVERSION 6. Remove plastic cap from regulator fitting. Unscrew fitting using a 7/16" wrench. Turn fitting over so end of fitting marked "LPG" is visible. Tighten fitting (snug only). Replace plastic cap. 7. Remove 1/4" screw from air shutter.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE PLEASE NOTE It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noise during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine. It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process. Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.
