COMMON FLUE INSTALLATIONS
VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
In some areas it is possible to vent more than one gas
fireplace into the same flue. You must ensure that the flue
being shared has the proper capacity to handle both
fireplaces. Check installation codes for venting capacity
information.
CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must be installed in accordance with
the current CAN/CGA-B149 (.1 or.2) installation code, and
the authority having jurisdiction.
U.S.A. INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must be installed in accordance with
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
As always it is best to check with the authority having
jurisdiction prior to commencement of the installation.

PROPER VENT PERFORMANCE
Retrofitting To An Existing Brick Chimney
It is strongly recommends installing an approved chimney
liner in an existing brick chimney.
This will maximize the potential draft of the chimney and
lessen the effects of slow chimney start up.
Check
Draft
Here
This is important because many homes (including older
renovated ones) have become much tighter with respect to
air exchange (a home breathing). An overly tight home will
create conditions that will affect proper vent performance.
It may be necessary to install some form of makeup air to
the lowest extremities of the home. This will help to ensure
theabovenotedconditionwillnoteffecttheproperoperation
ofthisoranyothercombustionfireplacewithinthedwelling.
Fig. 16
A spillage test must be performed prior to leaving the
fireplace with the customer. Carry this test out in the
following manner.
VENT SAFETY SYSTEM
1) Close all windows and doors in the room; start all
exhaust fans in the house and furnace blower.
2) Light the fireplace and place in operation on high fire.
3) Afterseveralminutes, testwithsmokematchthatthere
is adequate "pull" at the draft hood opening (located on
the sides of the fireplace near back. See Figure 16)
If the flue is blocked (match being blown back into
room) the Vent Safety Switch will automatically shut
down the heater.
This fireplace is equipped with a vent safety shut down
switch. This switch is factory installed, wired and tested.
Checkandmakesuretheswitchandwiresareintheproper
position. The safety switch is heat activated and wired in
series with the pilot system.
Operation of this fireplace when not
connected to a properly installed and
maintained venting system or tampering with
the vent safety shutoff system can result in
carbonmonoxide(CO)poisoningandpossibly
death.
4) Should the heater turn off, wait approximately 10-15
minutes to allow for the switch to reset. Check draft
again. If thesmokeisnot drawnintothedraft hoodturn
the fireplace off and check the cause of lack of draft,
consult your dealer for expert advice.
COMBUSTION AIR
It is very important that an adequate air supply is available
when the unit is being operated. Since most homes of
today are tightly sealed and insulated, additional make-
up air is usually necessary.
This fireplace has been designed to operate by drawing air
in from the front and outer perimeters of the fireplace. The
air provides combustion air ensuring a clean burning
flame, dilution air for proper venting, as well as, the air
which the fan circulates over the firebox/heat exchanger
system.
Insulating around the fireplace will result in overheating
and possible malfunctioning of the circulating fan.

GLASS CLEANING
MAINTENANCE
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically.
During start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on
the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other
airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also
initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass.
It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times with a non-ammonia household
cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace
glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned
two or three times during each heating season
1. It is important to keep the burner and the burner
compartment clean. This must be done periodically, at
least once per season. (See Cleaning Procedure).
2. Clean the brass trim using a soft clean cloth, slightly
dampened with lemon oil and buff with a soft clean
cloth. Do NOT use brass polish or household cleaners
as these products will damage the brass trim. Lemon
oil can be obtained at supermarkets or hardware
stores.
3. The optional FK12 and FK24 Fan requires periodic
cleaning. Check the fan and the area around the fan
assembly and wipe or vacuum at least once per month
during the operating season.

Note: Before trouble shooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the "On" position.
WARNING: BEFORE DOING ANY GAS CONTROL SERVICE WORK, REMOVE GLASS FRONT.
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Spark ignitor will not light
A. Defective or misaligned
electrode at pilot.
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and
push the red button again. If pilot will not light - check gap
at electrode and pilot-should be 1/8" to have a strong spark.
B. Defective ignitor (Push Button)
Push Piezo Ignitor Button. Check for spark at electrode and
pilot. If no spark to pilot, and electrode wire is properly
connected, replace ignitor.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following lighting
instructions.
A. Defective pilot generator
(thermocouple), remote wall
switch.
1. Check pilot flame. Must impinge on thermocouple/
thermopile. Note: this pilot burner assembly utilizes both
a thermocouple and a thermopile. The thermocouple
operates the main valve operation (On and Off). Clean
and or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement on
thermopile and thermocouple.
B. Defective automatic valve
operator.
Turn valve knob to "Pilot". Maintain flow to pilot; millivolt
meter should read greater than 10 mV. If the reading is
okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace the gas
valve. Note: An interrupter block (not supplied) must be
used to conduct this test.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to
burner, Valve knob "ON",
Wall Switch "ON".
A. Wall switch or wires
defective.
Check wall switch and wires for proper connections. Jumper
wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner comes on,
replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper wires across
wall switch wires at valve, if burner comes on, wires are
faulty or connections are bad.
B. Thermopile may not be
generating sufficient
millivoltage.
1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at gas valve
terminals are tight and thermopile is fully inserted into pilot
bracket.
2. One of the wall switch wires may be grounded. Remove
wall switch wires from valve terminals if pilot now stays lit,
trace wall switch wiring for ground. May be grounded to
fireplace or gas supply.
3. Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at
thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read 250-300
millivolts (minimum 150) while holding valve knob de-
pressed in pilot position and wall switch "Off". Replace
faulty thermopile if reading is below specified minimum.
C. Plugged burner orifice.
Check burner orifices for debris and remove.
D. Defective automatic valve
operator.
Turn valve knob to "On", place wall switch to "On" millivolt
meter should read greater than 100 mV. If the reading is
okay and the burner does not come on, replace the gas
valve.
4. Frequent pilot flare outage
problem.
A. Pilot flame may be too low
or blowing (high) causing the
pilot safety to drop out.
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermopile and thermocouple.
B. Vent safety shutdown.
Check the vent system for blockage. Check all connections
on vent safety switch.
