Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children
from hot surfaces. These screens and guards must be fastened to the floor.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.
It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the
appliance and venting system are kept clean. The appliance and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. The appliance area must be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.
•
•
•
•
This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance.
•
•
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.

•
•
Do not strike or slam shut the appliance glass door.
This appliance uses and requires a fast acting thermocouple. Replace only with a fast acting
thermocouple supplied by Wolf Steel Ltd.
•
Pressure relief doors must be kept closed while the appliance is operating to prevent exhaust fumes
containing carbon monoxide, from entering into the home. Temperatures of the exhaust escaping
through these openings can also cause the surrounding combustible materials to overheat and catch
fire.
•
•
Only doors / optional fronts certified with the unit are to be installed on the appliance.
Keep the packaging material out of reach of children and dispose of the material in a safe manner. As
with all plastic bags, these are not toys and should be kept away from children and infants.
As with any combustion appliance, we recommend having your appliance regularly inspected and
serviced as well as having a Carbon Monoxide Detector installed in the same area to defend you and
your family against Carbon Monoxide.
•
•
Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a mantel or shelves above the
appliance. Elevated temperatures can cause melting, deformation, discolouration or premature failure of
T.V. or other electronic components.

3.0 VENTING
!
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE.
IF VENTING IS INCLUDED WITH SPACERS THE VENT SYSTEM MUST BE SUPPORTED EVERY 3 FEET
FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. USE SUPPORTS OR EQUIVALENT
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FROM
COMBUSTIBLES. USE WOLF STEEL LTD. SUPPORT RING ASSEMBLY W010-0370 OR EQUIVALENT
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. SPACERS ARE ATTACHED TO THE INNER PIPE AT
PREDETERMINED INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN AIR GAP TO THE OUTER PIPE. THIS GAP IS
REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION. A SPACER IS REQUIRED AT THE START, MIDDLE AND END OF
EACH ELBOW TO ENSURE THIS GAP IS MAINTAINED. THESE SPACERS MUST NOT BE REMOVED.
THIS APPLIANCE USES A 4” EXHAUST / 7” AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE SYSTEM.
Refer to the section applicable to your installation.
For safe and proper operation of the appliance follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the
minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme vent
configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition. Vent lengths that pass
through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in
a protective sleeve to minimize condensation. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to
the appliance after the appliance is installed. Use a firestop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when
penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
NOTE: If for any reason the vent air intake system is disassembled; reinstall per the instructions
provided for the initial installation.
7.1
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between
two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different
clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled
tight. A 1-1/4" air gap all around between the inner liner and outer appliance pipe is required for safe
operation. Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.

3.1 VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Metal-Fab venting
components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal
locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk
Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the installation procedure provided with the venting
components.
A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding
supplier:

Metal-Fab
* For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the
installation procedure found on the website for your venting supplier.
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust flue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a
red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant may be used on both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent
pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the appliance flue collar
which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel termination kits: wall terminal kit GD175
(7/12’ of venting included), or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD110, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal kit GD111, flat
roof terminal kit GD112 or periscope kit GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunction with the appropriate
venting components.
For optimum flame appearance and appliance operation, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum. It is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot. The air terminal must
remain unobstructed at all times. Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify that it is unobstructed
and undamaged. Rigid and flexible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting manufacturers
components must not be combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable horizontal run
is 20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of vent connections is two
horizontally or three vertically (excluding the appliance and the air terminal connections) when using flexible venting.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping to the stove for ease of installation.

4.2.2 VERTICAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor. See
accessories to order specific kits required.
A. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a square opening as
illustrated in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1“ clearance
between the vent pipe and any combustible material. Try to center the vent
pipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use
a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. A vent pipe shield will
prevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up the 1” air space
around the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.

5.2 LOG PLACEMENT
!
WARNING
FAILURE TO POSITION THE LOGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE DIAGRAMS OR FAILURE TO USE
ONLY LOGS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED WITH THIS APPLIANCE MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
LOGS MUST BE PLACED IN THEIR EXACT LOCATION IN THE APPLIANCE. DO NOT MODIFY THE
PROPER LOG POSITIONS, SINCE APPLIANCE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND DELAYED
IGNITION MAY OCCUR.
THE LOGS ARE FRAGILE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH CARE.
76.1A
PHAZERTM logs, glowing embers and charcoal embers exclusive to Wolf Steel Ltd. fireplaces, glow when
exposed to direct flame and provide a unique and realistic glowing effect that is different in every installation.
Use only certified PHAZERTM logs, glowing embers and charcoal embers available from your local authorized
dealer / distributor.
Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the appliance, the colours will become more uniform as colour
pigments burn in during the heat activated curing process.
5.2.1 Place the back log into the firebox, pushing it as close
to the firebox wall as possible and centered onto the
log support pan.
1
5.2.2 Place the front log on the ember screen lining up the
studs with the holes on the bottom of the log.
NOTE: The ember screen is adjustable front to
back. To avoid flame impingement on propane
move the ember screen to the back most position.
Loosen the two screws that secure the ember
screen, move the screen back and retighten the
screws.
2
The glowing ember screen is positioned in the
flame to maximize the glow effect. Even though it is
constructed of the highest quality material, it is subject
to deterioration over time and consequently will need to
be replaced. Replacement of the ember screen is not
covered under the warranty policy

6.0 OPERATION
!
WARNING
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RAN OUT
WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPENED OR REMOVED.
TAMPERING WITH THE SPILL SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND
POSSIBLE DEATH (GS28 ONLY).
MODEL GS28 ONLY: SPILL SWITCH
This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adaptor, which senses the change in
temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety
shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburned gases during start up. If the
flue is blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10
minutes.
MODEL GS28 ONLY: VENTING ACTION CHECK
A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED APPLIANCE IS
LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER. Test in the following manner:
6.0.1 Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home / turn appliance blower off (if
equipped).
6.0.2 Set controls to "high" and light the unit.
6.0.3 Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the hole located above the spill switch bracket on
the adaptor.
6.0.4 Venting action is satisfactory if the flame stays lit. Venting action is unsatisfactory if the flame
extinguishes.
6.0.5 If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait 10 minutes and try again. If the match does not
stay lit, turn the unit off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualified
inspector.

6.1 OPERATING/LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner on models GDS28 and GS28.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary
condition caused by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur
again. Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as
following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is
caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

7.4 RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS - MODEL GDS28
Vertical installations may display a very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be
restricted using the restrictor vent kit, GDSRP-KT. This will reduce the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing
down the flame pattern and creating a more traditional gentle appearance. Specific instructions are included
with the kit.

6.
In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs, rocks and/or glass to
expose both assemblies.
Keep the control compartment, media, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs
clean by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or
are not burning properly.
Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the flame sensor and/or thermocouple /
thermopile as well as reaches the burner.
Replace the cleaned logs, rocks or glass. Failure to properly position the media may cause carboning
which can be distributed in the surrounding living area.
Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all openings when turned on. A 5 to 10
second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your local authorized dealer /
distributor.

Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned on, it will automatically start approximately 15-30
minutes after lighting the stove and will run for approximately 30-45 minutes after the stove has been turned
off. Use of the fan increases the output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings causing irreparable damage and must be prevented from
coming into contact with the blower or its compartment.
Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.
