CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest
importance that this fireplace and vent system be installed only in accordance with these instructions.
Caution Requirements
The top, back and sides of the fireplace are defined by
standoffs. The metal ends of the standoff may NOT be
recessed into combustible construction.

MANTEL CLEARANCES
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of front facing
are shown in the diagram below.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible
board.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used
on the mantel and the facing is
"heat resistant" or the paint may
discolour.

2) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the
rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local instal-
lation codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself.)
Non-Combustible Requirements
3) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The
clearance on top of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so combusti-
ble building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You
must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See
"Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against the
side and back standoffs and the stove base.

There are 3 plates, one on the top and bottom
that can be folded out as required.
In order to maintain a clean face; the L900E
allows for a 1/8” in overlap of finishing material,
such as rock or tile, on both the left and right
hand sides of the unit (top and bottom sides do
not allow for an overlap), this overlap must not
be exceeded or the glass door will no longer
open properly.
INSTALLATION
TheTopFacingSupport, theSideNailingStrips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before unit
is slipped into position.
Non-combustible wall board is installed up
to the flanges on all sides of the unit. When
installing any additional facing material use
the Finishing Template (included with the unit)
to ensure that the finishing material does not
exceed the allowable overlap.
TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position
and must be folded into shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the fireplace

The L900E uses the "balanced flue" technology
CoAxial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer
liner draws outside combustion air into the
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the
needtouseheatedroomairforcombustionand
losing warm room air up the chimney.
a. Release the 2 door latches on the left
and right side at the top of the firebox.
Note: These flue pipes must not be
connected to any other appliance.
Latch Location
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.

Wall thickness is measured from the back
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl
furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl
siding standoff, to create a level surface to
mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must
not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall
thickness including furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must
be used with vinyl siding), measure to outside
surface of wall without siding and add 2
inches.
* A Vent Guard is required when the AstroCap
is installed above grade at 7 feet or lower.

(Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.
TERMINATION
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl
siding covered wall, a vinyl siding
standofforfurringstripsmustbeused
to ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
6) Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" (279mm x
279mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the center-
line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the
11 inch (279mm) square hole in the exterior
wall where the vent will be terminated. See
diagram 2 for center line requirements.
(Rigid Vent Systems)
Atopclearanceof3"(76mm)andside&bottom
clearance of 2"(51mm) must be maintained;
except when passing through a wall, ceil-
ing, or at the termination where the use of a
firestop or wall thimble reduces the required
clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm). We recommend
framing a 11"(279mm) x 11"(279mm) (inside
dimensions) hole to give structural rigidity
for mounting the termination.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
non-combustiblematerial,i.e.masonryblock
or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter hole
is acceptable.
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with the
components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
thewaywhentheventingsystemisattached.
If this is the case, you may want to adjust
the location of the unit. Rough in the gas
preferably on the right side of the unit and
the electrical (junction block is on the left
side) on the left.

Note:
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the vent to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and may
present the possibility of a fire.

INSTALLATION
Since some municipalities have additional
local codes it is always best to consult with
your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149
installation code.
The burner aeration is factory set but may need
adjusting due to either the local gas supply or
altitude. Open the air shutter for a blue flame or
close for a more yellow flame.
1) Make sure the unit is turned OFF.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure
tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a
1/8" wide flat screwdriver.
In order to adjust the aeration, the logs, grate
and burners will need to be removed to be able
to access the shutters.
For USA installations follow local codes and/or
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1.

requirement.

rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"
sounds. You should also be aware that as there
are temperature changes within the unit these
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal
for steel fireboxes.
a) Remove the left side exterior brick panel.
b) Hold the reset button for 3 to 5 seconds or
until the LED stops blinking.
Dispose of batteries at an authorized battery
disposal site. Do not dispose of batteries in a

Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very
slight "whisper" sound.
NOTE: This must only be performed by a quali-
fied installer.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be
heard throughout the cycling process.
