D. Inspect Firebox  
Surface cracking or crazing of rebrick material is normal  
and expected. The following types of cracks are acceptable  
and do not require replacement of the unit or the rebox:  
• Cracks that do not propagate entirely through the  
material.  
• Light fracture lines or “spider-webbing” on the surface of  
the material.  
• Cracks that are less than 1/32 in. wide and less than 3  
in. long.  
• If cosmetically unacceptable, such cracks may be  
repaired with the SRV-PACK service kit. See Service  
Parts List.  
Cracks that are unacceptable:  
• Cracks greater than 1/32 in. wide and 3 in. long are at  
risk of growing.  
• Cracks that penetrate entirely through the firebrick  
material.  
Inspection for cracking should be run when the appliance  
is cool. Cracks tend to close as the appliance heats up.

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase  
D. Clearances  
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the  
gas appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that  
run on the outside of a building may be, but are not re-  
quired to be, installed inside a chase.  
WARNING  
Fire Risk.  
Odor Risk.  
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build-  
ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require-  
ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST  
be checked.  
Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces  
extending full width and depth of appliance.  
Do NOT install appliance directly on carpeting,  
vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than  
wood.  
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-  
side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-  
lems. The chase should not break the outside building  
envelope in any manner.  
WARNING  
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor of the chase  
should be insulated. Vapor and air inltration barriers  
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for  
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold  
air inltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be  
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.  
Fire Risk.  
Construct chase to all clearance specications  
in manual.  
Locate and install appliance to all clearance  
specications in manual.  
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling  
restops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum  
of 300ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas line  
holes and other openings should be caulked with caulk  
with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating or  
stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being  
installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be  
placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the  
room.

A. Pipe Clearances to Combustibles  
B. Wall Penetration Framing  
Combustible Wall Penetration  
WARNING  
Frame a hole in a combustible wall for an interior wall  
shield restop, (Figure 6.2) whenever a wall is penetrated.  
Use same size framing materials as those used in the wall  
construction. The wall shield restop maintains minimum  
clearances and prevents cold air inltration.  
Fire Risk.  
Explosion Risk.  
Maintain vent clearance to combustibles as  
specied.  
• Do not pack air space with insulation or  
other materials.  
Non-Combustible Wall Penetration  
If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncombus-  
tible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter one  
inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.  
Failure to keep insulation or other materials  
away from vent pipe may cause re.  
Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall  
shield restop is only required on one side and no heat  
shield is necessary.  
3 in. TOP

lumber as used in ceiling/oor joist.  
10 IN.  
(254 MM)  
• When installing a top vent vertical  
termination appliance the hole should be  
directly above the appliance, unless the  
ue is offset.  
HOLE SHOULD MEASURE  
10 IN. X 10 IN.  
(254 MM X 254 MM)

Assembling DVP-12A Slip Sections  
The outer ue of the slip section should slide over the outer  
ue of the pipe section and into (inner ue) the last pipe  
section (see Figure 8.7) .  
A
B
Slide together to the desired length, making sure that a  
1-1/2 inch outer ue overlap is maintained between the  
pipe section and slip section.  
The pipe and slip section need to be secured by driving  
two screws through the overlapping portions of the outer  
ues using the pilot holes (see Figure 8.8).  
This will secure the slip section to the desired length and  
prevent it from separating. The slip section can then be  
attached to the next pipe section.

Installation instructions  
Determine location  
The ON/OFF rocker switch on the replace (located near  
the gas valve) must be in the “OFF” position for use with  
the WSK-MLT system. The ON/OFF rocker switch will  
NOT function with this device on Intellire (IPI) models  
except during a power outage.  
Determine the location for the wall switch. The chosen  
location should provide an accessible location in the  
same space as the gas replace. Never place this unit in a  
separate room. The control wire supplied with this switch  
is 33 ft (10M) in length. The distance from the replace  
to the switch may be lengthened provided that the wire  
used never exceeds 50 ft, and that the distance from the  
replace to the switch never exceeds 30 ft.  
NOTE: The temperature displayed by the wall switch may  
take up to 30 minutes to stabilize on initial power-up.  
NOTE: Check control box and assure switch is in the “OFF”  
position. This switch is only used on Intellire (IPI) control  
systems under battery operation.  
The switch should be mounted into a listed electrical  
junction box. The junction box should be dedicated to this  
wall switch. Never install this wall switch into a junction box  
that is shared with other electrical service or devices. If  
possible, install this unit on an interior wall of the residence  
at a recommended height of 5 ft from the ooring. Should  
the switch be installed on an exterior wall, be certain wall  
insulation is kept intact and not damaged or dislodged  
during the installation of the electrical junction box.  
For exterior wall installations, it is recommended that the  
junction box be sealed with caulking material. This will  
minimize heat loss through this location and improve the  
accuracy of the automatic (thermostat) operation.

D. Frequently Asked Questions  
ISSUE  
SOLUTIONS  
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this  
condensation will disappear.  
Condensation on the glass  
This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al-  
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.  
Blue ames  
When rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is  
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufactur-  
ing. Odor may also be released from nishing materials and adhesives used around the  
appliance.  
Odor from appliance  
Film on the glass  
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned  
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing  
process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas replace glass cleaner may be necessary. See  
your dealer.  
Noise is 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 the appliance.  
Metallic noise  
In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot ame should turn off when appliance is  
turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot ame to  
remain lit.  
Is it normal to see the pilot ame burn  
continually?

Troubleshooting  
14  
With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do  
experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualied service person in the diagnosis of a problem and the  
corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualied service technician.  
A. IntelliFire Ignition System  
Symptom  
Possible Cause  
Corrective Action  
1. The ignitor/module  
makes noise, but no  
spark.  
a. Incorrect wiring.  
Verify “S” wire (white) for sensor and “I” wire (orange) for ignitor  
are connected to correct terminals on module and pilot assembly.  
Reversed wires at the module may cause system to make sparking  
noise, but spark may not be present at pilot hood.  
b. Loose connections or electrical  
shorts in the wiring.  
Verify no loose connections or electrical shorts in wiring from mod-  
ule to pilot assembly. Rod closest to pilot hood should be ignitor.  
Verify connections underneath pilot assembly are tight; also verify  
connections are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot burner,  
pilot enclosure, mesh screen if present, or any other metal object.  
c. Ignitor gap is too large.  
d. Faulty module.  
Verify gap of igniter to pilot hood. The gap should be approximately  
.17 inch or 1/8 inch.  
Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove  
ignitor wire “I” from module. Place ON/OFF Rocker switch or wall  
switch in ON position. Hold ground wire about 3/16 inch away from  
“I” terminal on module. If there is no spark at “I” terminal module  
must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is ne.  
Inspect pilot assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator  
around electrode.  
2. Pilot won’t light,  
there is no noise or  
spark.  
a. Transformer installed correctly.  
Verify that transformer is installed and plugged into module. Check  
voltage of transformer under load at spade connection on module  
with ON/OFF switch in ON position. Acceptable readings of a good  
transformer are between 3.2 and 2.8 volts AC.  
b. A shorted or loose connection in wir- Remove and reinstall the wiring harness that plugs into module.  
ing conguration or wiring harness.  
Verify there is a tight t. Verify pilot assembly wiring to module.  
Remove and verify continuity of each wire in wiring harness.  
c. Improper wall switch wiring.  
d. Module not grounded.  
Verify that 110/VAC power is “ON” to junction box.  
Verify black ground wire from module wire harness is grounded to  
metal chassis of appliance.  
e. Faulty module.  
Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove  
ignitor wire “I” from module. Place ON/OFF Rocker switch or wall  
switch in ON position. Hold ground wire about 3/16 inch away from  
“I” terminal on module. If there is no spark at “I” terminal module  
must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is ne.  
Inspect pilot assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator  
around electrode.  
3. Pilot lights but con-  
tinues to spark, and  
main burner will not ig-  
nite. (If the pilot contin-  
ues to spark after the  
pilot ame has been lit,  
ame rectication has  
not occurred.)  
a. A shorted or loose connection in  
sensor rod.  
Verify all connections to wiring diagram in manual. Verify connec-  
tions underneath pilot assembly are tight. Verify connections are  
not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot burner, pilot enclosure or  
screen if present, or any other metal object.  
b. Poor ame rectication or contami- Verify that ame is engulng sensor rod. If the pilot assembly does

not have a ground strap, consider installing one to increase ame  
rectication. Verify correct pilot orice is installed and inlet gas  
specications. Flame carries rectication current, not the gas. If  
ame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit is broken. A wrong orice or  
too high an inlet pressure can cause pilot ame to lift. The sensor  
rod may be contaminated. Clean sensor rod with emery cloth.

D. Limited Lifetime Warranty  
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.  
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY  
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc., on behalf of its hearth brands (”HHT”), extends the following warranty for  
HHT gas, wood, pellet, coal and electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.  
WARRANTY COVERAGE:  
HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership  
of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance  
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered compo-  
nents manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period,  
HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its  
obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product  
itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty  
is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.  
WARRANTY PERIOD:  
Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage  
begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent,  
authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months  
following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for  
parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.  
The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for  
gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These  
time periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.
