D. Inspect Firebox
Surface cracking or crazing of firebrick material is normal
and expected. The following types of cracks are acceptable
and do not require replacement of the unit or the firebox:
• 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 floor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
Fire Risk.
• Construct chase to all clearance specifications
in manual.
• Locate and install appliance to all clearance
specifications in manual.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling
firestops 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 firestop, (Figure 6.2) whenever a wall is penetrated.
Use same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction. The wall shield firestop maintains minimum
clearances and prevents cold air infiltration.
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
Maintain vent clearance to combustibles as
specified.
• 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 fire.
Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall
shield firestop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.
3 in. TOP
CLEARANCE
If your local inspector requires the wall shield firestop on
both sides, then both wall shield firestops must have a heat
shield attached to them.

Assembling Pipe Sections
A. Assembly of Vent Sections
Insert the inner flue of section A into the flared inner flue of
section B.
WARNING
Do not mix pipe, fittings or joining
methods from different manufacturers.
Start the outer flue of sectionAover the outer flue of section
B (see Figure 8.3). Note: The end of the pipe sections with
the lances/tabs on it will face towards the appliance. Once
both inner and outer flues are started, press sectionAonto
section B firmly until all lances have snapped into place.
Check to make sure they have snapped together (see Fig-
ure 8.4) and the seams are not aligned (see Figure 8.5).
Tug slightly on sectionAto confirm it has completely locked
into place. It is acceptable to use screws no longer than
1 inch to hold outer pipe sections together. If predrilling
holes, do NOT penetrate inner pipe.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Exhaust Fumes Risk
Impaired Performance of Appliance
• Overlap pipe slip sections at least 1-1/2
inches.
• Use pilot holes for screws.
For 90° and 45° elbows that are changing the vent direction
from horizontal to vertical, one screw minimum should be
put in the outer flue at the horizontal elbow joint to prevent
the elbow from rotating. Use screws no longer than 1 inch.
If predrilling screw holes, do NOT penetrate inner pipe.
• Screws must not exceed one inch long.
• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.
Attaching Vent to the Firebox Assembly
To attach the first pipe section to the collars, slide the male
end of the inner vent of the pipe section over the inner collar
on the firebox assembly. At the same time, slide the outer
flue over the outer collar on the appliance. Push the pipe
section into the appliance collar until all the lances (see
Figure 8.2) have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the sec-
tion to confirm it has completely locked into place.
FIRST VENT COMPONENT
FIBERGLASS ROPE RING
Make sure that the fiberglass rope ring supplied in the
manual bag seals between the first vent component and
the outer appliance wrap (see Figure 8.1)
Commercial, Multi-family (Multi-level exceeding two
stories), & High-Rise Applications
For Installation into Commercial, multi-family (multi-level ex-
ceeding two stories) or high-rise applications: All pipe joints
must be sealed with silicone with a minimum of 300ºF contin-
uous exposure rating, including the slip section that connects
directly to the horizontal termination cap.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 8.2
Figure 8.1 Fiberglass Rope Ring
• Only outer pipes are sealed. Do not seal the inner flue.
All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer flues
shall be sealed in this manner, unless otherwise stated.
High Temperature Silicone Sealant
Commercial, Multi-family (multi-level exceeding two
stories), or High-rise Applications only
Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/tabs on

Assembling DVP-12A Slip Sections
The outer flue of the slip section should slide over the outer
flue of the pipe section and into (inner flue) 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 flue 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
flues 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.
Figure 8.4
Figure 8.3
If the slip section is too long, the inner and outer flues of
the slip section can be cut to the desired length.
Note: Make sure that the seams are not aligned to prevent
unintentional disconnection.

MI sections are non-unitized so that they can be cut to a
certain length. Cut these sections to length from the non-
expanded end (see Figure 8.6).
Figure 8.7 Slip Section Pilot Holes
They can then be attached by first connecting the expanded
end of the MI inner flue with the inner pipe from the adjacent
pipe section and securing with three screws. The expanded
portion of the MI inner flue must overlap completely with
the unexpanded end of the adjacent pipe section.
The outer flue can then be inserted into the adjacent outer
flue expanded end and attached to the next pipe section
with three screws. The other end of the MI pipe section can
then be attached by fitting another pipe section to it and
snapping it together, as normal.

Installation instructions
Determine location
The ON/OFF rocker switch on the fireplace (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 Intellifire (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 fireplace. 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 fireplace
to the switch may be lengthened provided that the wire
used never exceeds 50 ft, and that the distance from the
fireplace 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 Intellifire (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 flooring. 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.

C. After Appliance is Lit
CAUTION
Initial Break-in Procedure
• Prevent accidental appliance operation when not
attended.
When you light the appliance, you may notice that it pro-
duces heat which does have an associated odor or smell.
If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial
three to four 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.
Condensation of the glass is normal.
• Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if absent
or if appliance will not be used for an extended period of
time.
• Property damage possible from elevated temperatures.
CAUTION
Note: The appliance should be run three to four 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 appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to
cure the products used in the paint and logs.
Smoke and odors released during initial operation.
•
•
•
Open windows for air circulation.
Leave room during initial operation.
Smoke may set off smoke detectors.
Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive
individuals.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any
odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.

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 flames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Blue flames
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first 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 finishing 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 fireplace 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 flame should turn off when appliance is
turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot flame to
remain lit.
Is it normal to see the pilot flame 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 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.
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 fine.
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 configuration or wiring harness.
Verify there is a tight fit. 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

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.
