GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERV-
ICED BYAQUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes.
In absence of local codes, install the BCDV42 to the current
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current
CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-
sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation.
Installation practices vary from region to region and it is
important to know the specifics that apply to your area,
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is re-
quired for the gas system operation.
for example: in Massachusetts State:
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up
and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be
expected.
• The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in the open
position prior to installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.
• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or
bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion
product.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth. The BCDV42 is factory equipped with
tempered glass. The glass thickness is 3/16". Use only re-
placement glass available from your Continental dealer. DO
NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. Clean the glass after the first
10 hours of operation with a recommended gas fireplace
glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required. DO NOT CLEAN
GLASS WHEN HOT! If the glass is not kept clean permanent
• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts.
Mobile home installation must conform with local codes or in the
absence of local codes, install to the current standard for gas
equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA ZA240 MH Series in Canada
or the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for Manufac-
tured Home Installations, Sites and Communities Standard ANSI/
NFPA 501A in the United States.
discolouration and / or blemishes may result.
Use only accessories designed for and listed with
your specific fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate ac-
cessibility clearance for servicing and operating the
fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fire-
place.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa). The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can
create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile
or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extend-
ing the full width and depth.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent con-
nection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or
vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclo-
sure be 'finished', (i.e. drywall/sheetrock) as would any
other outside wall of the home. This will ensure that
clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cav-
ity.
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must
be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with
local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current
CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the
ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United
States.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (at-
tics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with
the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to mini-
mize condensation.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!
Maximum input is 28,500 BTU/hr for natural gas and 24,000
BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations
above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific recommendations
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high alti-
tude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each
additional 1,000ft.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
Maximum output for natural gas is 19,500 BTU/hr at an effi-
ciency of 68.5% with the fan on, and 16,000 BTU/hr for pro-
pane at an efficiency of 67% with the fan on. The maximum
A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 64% for
natural gas and 61.5% for propane.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane.

VENTING
Eight (8") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed
for the 8" diameter flexible liner.
VENTING LENGTHS
Use only Wolf Steel or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS
venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths,
for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air termi-
nal locations for either system are set out in this manual
and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow
the installation procedure provided with the venting com-
ponents.
For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a 1 inch rise per foot when using
Continental flexible vent components.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk
or paved driveway which is located between two sin-
gle family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local
codes or regulations may require different clearances.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the fol-
lowing termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD422, or
1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD410, 8/12 TO
12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411, FLAT ROOF TERMI-
NAL KIT GD412 or PERISCOPE KIT GD401 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD420 or the 10 foot vent kit GD430.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or
vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼" air
gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is
required for safe operation. Use a firestop when pen-
etrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
Minimum clearance to combustible con-
struction from fireplace and vent sur-
faces:
It is recommended to attach the Wolf Steel 45º rigid adap-
tor directly to the unit when terminating horizontally off
the back of the unit. This must be done before attaching
the desired vent system. Once this transition has been
made, venting systems must not be combined.
sides, back, bottom and top of the unit 0 inch
recessed depth
top, sides and bottom of the vent pipe 1 inch
vent heat shield 1 inch
22 inches
Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all
cases using SIMPSON DURA-VENT or CONTINENTAL
RIGID OR FLEXIBLE venting components when vent-
ing as illustrated in Figures 3, and 4.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting
of the fireplace. FIGURES 3 & 5. The maximum allowable
horizontal run is 20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical
vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 5" vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (exclud-
ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections) when
using aluminum flexible venting.
Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all around the
vent pipe is required.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace perform-
ance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum.
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.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before re-installing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.

1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 10
inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the
minimum 1 inch clearance between the fireplace pipe /
liner and any combustible material. Try to center the ex-
haust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent
having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of
the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE
OF MATERIAL. A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials
such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around
the pipe. Nail head-

depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking
(not supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the
case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the
opening to the interior wall. The final location of the vent
pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to the
8" vent pipe / liner. (See note above). Do not fill this cavity
with any type of material. Apply a bead of caulking all around

VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION
RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS
1. Move the fireplace into position.
Vertical terminations may display a very active flame. If this
appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted
using restrictor plate, W080-0454. This reduces the veloc-
ity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the flame pattern
and creating a more traditional appearance.
2. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws
provided. FIGURE 21. The roof support is optional. In this
case the venting is to be adequately supported using ei-
ther an alternate method suitable to the authority having
jurisdiction or the optional roof support.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local
building codes. FIGURES 31-33.
In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori-
zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be
installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air
Terminal Installation" for installation.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi-
als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for
will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and
the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes
located in the front left and right corners of the base. For
mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened
in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the
holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the
fireplace be secured in all installations.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.
Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the
source, prior to moving the mobile home.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
of the fireplace but must not cover or protrude past any of
the black face-areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible ma-
terial (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these
areas.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the
fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.
FRAMING
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclo-
sure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock),as you would fin-
ish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that
clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers, exclusive to Conti-
nental Fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glowing
effect that is different in every installation. Take the time to
carefully position the glowing embers for a maximum glow-

Note: Both charcoal embers and vermiculite are not to
be placed on the burner.
3. Tear the glowing embers into pieces and place along
the front row of ports covering all of the burner area in front of
the small logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the
embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed
edges of the fibre hairs will glow. The ember material will
only glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care should
be taken to not block the burner ports. Blocked burner ports
can cause an incorrect flame pattern, carbon deposits and
delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow when exposed to di-
rect flame.
CHARCOAL LUMPS
Place the lumps between the logs in a realistic manner
taking care not to block any of the burner ports.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-
partment.
D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which
will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocou-
ple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the
thermocouple to cool.
5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise
to pilot.
6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the
pilot with the push button ignitor. Keep knob depressed
for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue to
burn, repeat steps 3 through 5.
When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be
turned from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed
slightly.
7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clock-
wise
to on.
1. Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.
2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
8. If equipped with remote on-off switch/thermostat, main
burner may not come on when you turn valve to on. Remote
switch must be in the on position to ignite burner.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise
to off.
9. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas
including near the floor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above safety
information on this label. If you don't smell gas go the next
step.

MAINTENANCE
Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing 3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out
any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burn-
ing properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches to-
ward the burner with the third jet.
the fireplace.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv-
icing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This fireplace and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service
person. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable va-
pours and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation
air must not be obstructed.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all
openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5 to
10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes
longer, consult your Continental dealer / distributor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of
the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly,
remove the logs to expose both assemblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter
opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacu-
uming or brushing, at least once a year.

ADJUSTMENTS
PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but
can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a
more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner
ports. The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow
15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be estab-
lished.
Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.
