Approvals and
Codes
Appliance Certification
High Altitude Installations
The Village Collection fireplace models discussed in this
Installers Guide have been tested to certification standards
and listed by the applicable laboratories.
U.L. Listed gas fireplaces are tested and approved for
elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the U.S.A. and from 0 to
4,500 feet in Canada.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000
feet (in the United States), it may be necessary to decrease
the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a
smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for
each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of
the gas has been reduced, in which case this general rule
will not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with
the local gas utility.

ATIONAL VEHICLES.
Installation Codes
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining
the proper orifice for your location.
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before
installing the fireplace, consult the local building code
agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all
applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must
conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in
the United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes
(in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70
(in the United States), or to the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric
Code (in Canada).
These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting

Getting Started
Introducing the Village Collection
Gas Fireplaces
The Aladdin Hearth Products Warranty will be voided by,
and Aladdin Hearth Products disclaims any responsibility
for, the following actions:
The Village Collection direct vent gas fireplaces are designed
to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of
the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
•
Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system
component.
•
•
Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Installation other than as instructed by Aladdin Hearth
Products.
•
•
Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
Installation and/or use of any component part not manu-
factured and approved by Aladdin Hearth Products, not
withstanding any independent testing laboratory or other
party approval of such component part or accessory.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any
unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs are packaged
separately and must be field installed.
• Where the unit is to be installed.
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the
owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on
any combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Installing the Fireplace
A
Constructing the Fireplace Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas fireplace and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to
be, installed inside a chase.
E
D
CAUTION: TREATMENT OF FIRESTOP SPACERS AND
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHASE MAY VARY WITH THE
TYPE OF BUILDING. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOCAL
BUILDING CODES. THEREFORE, YOUR LOCAL BUILD-
ING CODES MUST BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE STEPS.

Figure 4. Fireplace Dimensions, Locations,
and Space Requirements
Factory-built fireplace chases should be constructed in the
manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air
drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside
building envelope in any manner.
Minimum Clearances
from the Fireplace to Combustible Materials
This means that the walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever
floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltra-
tion barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional
codes for the rest of the home. Additionally,Aladdin Hearth
Products recommends that the inside surfaces be sheet-
rocked and taped for maximum air tightness.

To further prevent drafts, the firestops should be caulked to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked or stuffed with insulation. If the unit is being in-
stalled on a cement slab, we recommend that a layer of
plywood be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold
up into the room. Be sure to include spark arrestors for
woodburning units if they are required.
* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit, excluding the standoffs (see Figure 38).
The distance from the unit to combustible construction is to
be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to the com-
bustible construction, NOT from the screw heads that se-
cure the unit together.
THE CHASE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED SO THATALL
CLEARANCES TO THE FIREPLACE ARE MAINTAINED
AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS INSTALLERS GUIDE.

Step 2. Framing the Fireplace
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace
is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE ZONE

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
Identifying Vent Components
Approved vent system components are labeled for identifica-
tion. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved compo-
nent of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside an
enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection open-
ings at each joint within the wall. There is no required pitch
for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS
OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation
instructions are included with each vent termination kit and
should be used in conjunction with this Installers Guide. Fig-
ure 7 shows vent system components and terminations.
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.
These models use SL-D-series, direct vent components
when using the TOP vent collars and D-series direct vent
components when using the REAR vent collars.
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may in-
clude one, two, or three 90° elbow assemblies. The rela-
tionships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configura-
tions using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The
rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings
and tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the
type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.
WARNING: YOU MUST NOT MIX D-SERIES
AND SL D-SERIES COMPONENTS IN ANY VENT
!
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one
90° elbow. Maximum and minimum rise to run ratios
must always be maintained in the vent system when
using 45° elbows.

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.

V (FT.)
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 main-
tain the necessary clearance to combustibles. However, the
vent attachment point and the firestop location are consid-
ered to be supports.

1. Attach the First Vent Component to the
Starting Collars
B. Installing Vent Components
After determining which set of starting collars will be used (top
or rear), follow venting instructions accordingly.
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars
of the fireplace:
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.
• Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5mm) bead of stove cement around
the fireplace inner vent starting collar.
Remove the 5” diameter heat shield from the 5” diameter collar
by sliding it out.
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the con-
centric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior
beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed com-
ponent end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.
WARNING: THE TOP HEAT SHIELD (INSIDE
!
THE FIREBOX) MUST REMAIN ATTACHED IF
THE VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE
REAR STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 21.
• When the internal beads of each outer pipe line up, ro-
tate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter (1/4)
turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.
Venting Out the Top Vent
Remove the top vent collar seal cap by removing the two
screws from the upper heat shield. Remove the insulation
inside BOTH the 4” diameter and 6 5/8” diameter collars.
(See Figure 21).
• Slide the ceramic fiber pad over the first vent section and
place it flush to the fireplace. Continue to add vent com-
ponents.
Remove the 4” diameter heat shield from the 4” diameter
collar by sliding it out.
You have to take the glass off for positioning the logs when
the unit is finally installed in place and finished around it.Attach
vent system to the top starting collars.

2. Continue Adding Vent Components
4. Install Firestops
• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed-
ing component into place.
For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both
sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component.
NOTE: Model DVK-01TRD or SLK-01TRD does not need
an exterior firestop on an exterior combustible wall.
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el-
bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre-
ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)
sheet metal screws.
To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through
either interior or exterior walls:
Cut a 12-inch by 12-inch (305 mm X 305 mm) hole through
the wall for D-series or a 10-inch by 10-inch (254 mm X 254
mm) hole for SL-D-series pipe. The center of the framing
hole is one (1) inch (25.4mm) above the center of the hori-
zontal vent pipe.
• Position the firestops on both sides of the hole previ-
ously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.
• The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed to-
wards the top of the hole.
• Continue the vent run through the firestops.
Figure 23. Adding Venting Components
3. Install Support Brackets
NOTE: There must be NO INSULATION or other combus-
tibles inside the framed firestop opening.
For Horizontal Runs - The vent system must be supported
every five (5) feet of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe support.
12" or 10"
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the vent pipe.
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
(305mm or 254mm)
1" (25.4 mm)
For Vertical Runs - The vent system must be supported
every eight (8) feet (2.4m) above the fireplace flue outlet by
wall brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:
12" or 10"
(305mm or
254mm)
• Attach wall brackets to the vent pipe and secure the wall
bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.

For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at
the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.
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.
To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through ceilings:
• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the verti-
cal vent component.
• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.
• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.
JOIST
• Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir-
ing or plumbing runs.
• Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary,
to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.
CEILING
• Cut an 11-inch X 11-inch (280mm X 280mm) for D-Series

To seal the roof hole, and to divert rain and snow from the
vent system:
For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install
the vent sections:
• 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 non-
hardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base
where it meets the roof.
• Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint
nail.
• Attach a storm collar over the flashing joint to form a
water-tight seal. Place non-hardening mastic around the
joint, between the storm collar and the vertical pipe.
• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on the
pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm) clear-
ance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials.
• Slide the termination cap over the end of the vent pipe
and rotate the pipe clockwise 1/4 turn.
• Mark the roof hole accordingly.

first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
Step 11. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
NOTE: The fireplace should be run for 3 to 4 hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove
and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the chemicals
used in the paint and logs.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S
MANUAL FOR ALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
!
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war-
ranties.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
STANDING PILOT CONTROLS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING
1. To access controls, open the lower grille.
WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
LOSS OF LIFE.
2. Turn the gas control valve knob to the OFF position. To do this, you
must turn the knob clockwise
press in and continue turning clockwise
to the PILOT position, and then
to the OFF position.
NOTE: Knob cannot be turned from “PILOT” to “OFF” unless knob is
pushed in slightly. Do not force.
3. WAIT AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES TO CLEAR OUT ANY GAS. If
you have unsuccessfully tried to light the fireplace, wait longer, espe-
cially if you are using LP gas. Then smell for gas, including near the
floor. If you then smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the safety informa-
tion on previous page. If you don't smell gas, go to the next step.
STANDING PILOT IGNITION
A. This appliance (standing pilot version) has a pilot
that must be lighted by hand. When lighting the
pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
4. The pilot should not require accessing for lighting
purposes. The pilot is located inside the combustion
chamber. If it is necessary to access the pilot,
remove the trim door and glass door.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appli-
ance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
floor because some gas is heavier than air and
will settle to the floor.

When you light your fireplace, you may notice:
Noise caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats
up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace
or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of your fireplace.
This gas appliance produces heat which does have an associ-
ated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may
require the initial 3-4 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. Addi-
tionally, for the first few minutes after each lighting, vapor may
condense and fog the glass and flames may be blue. After a
few minutes this moisture will disappear and within 15-30 min-
utes the flames should become yellow.

Replacing old ember material
Frequency: Once annually, during the checkup.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Remove and clean glass after the first 3 to 4 hours of
use.After the initial cleaning, clean as necessary, particularly
after adding new ember (flame colorant) material. Film
deposits on the inside of the glass door should be cleaned
off using a household glass cleaner. NOTE: DO NOT handle
or attempt to clean the door when it is hot and DO NOT
use abrasive cleaners.
Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.
Replace old ember material with pieces of Mystic Ember
following the directions in Placing Ember Material. New
ember material should be placed on top of the burner. Save
the remaining ember material and repeat this procedure at
your next servicing. For more information, see Placing
Ember Material.
MAKE SURE THE FLAMES
ARE STEADY—NOT
LIFTING OR FLOATING.
Cleaning Burner and Controls
Frequency: Once annually.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment, fireplace
logs and burner areas surrounding the logs.
Checking Flame Patterns, Flame Height
Frequency: Periodically.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Make a visual check of your fireplace’s flame patterns.
Make sure the flames are steady - not lifting or floating.

With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas fireplace 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.
Troubleshooting

Corrective Action
1. After repeated
triggering of the red

Check the spark at the electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode wire is
properly connected, replace the ignitor.
or black piezo button,
the spark ignitor will
not light the pilot.
b. Defective pilot or
misaligned electrode
(spark at electrode).
Using match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and trigger the red or
black piezo button again. If the pilot lights, an improper gas/air mixture caused the
bad lighting and a longer purge period is recommended. If the pilot will not light,
ensure the the gap at the electrode and pilot is one-eighth (1/8) inch to have a
strong spark. If the gap is OK, replace the pilot.
c. No gas or low gas
pressure.
Check the remote shut-off valvess from the fireplace. Usually, there is a valve near
the gas main. There can be more than one (1) valve between the fireplace and the
main.
d. No LP in tank.
Check the LP (propane) tank. You may be out of fuel.
2. The pilot will not
stay lit after carefully
following the lighting
instructions.
a. Defective
thermocouple.
Check that the pilot flame impinges on the thermocouple. Clean and/or adjust the
pilot for maximum flame impingement.
Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight
(hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).
Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt meter lead wire on
the tip of the thermcouple and the other meter lead wire on the thermocouple
copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less
than 15mV, replace the thermocouple.
b. Defective valve.
If the thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, replace faulty valve.
3. The pilot is
a. ON/OFF switch or
wires defective.
Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place the jumper
wires across the terminals at the switch. If the burner comes on, replace the
defective switch. If the switch is OK, place the jumper wires across the switch wires
at the gas valve. If the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are
bad.
burning, there is no
gas burner, the valve
knob is in the ON
position, and the
ON/OFF switch is in
the ON position.
b. Thermopile may
not be generating
sufficient millivoltage.
If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust the pilot
flame.
Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve terminals are
tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot bracket.
Check the thermopile with a millvolt meter. Take the reading at TH-TP&TP
terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 325 millivolts minimum, while
holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the
ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is
below the specified minimum.
With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from the valve.
Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading should be 325 millivolts
minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.
c. Defective valve.
Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON
position. Check the millivolt meter a 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.
Follow the corrective action in Symptom and Possible Cause 1.a above. Check
the switch and wiring. Replace where defective.
