GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY
A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. In absence
of local codes, install the BCDV48 to the current National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA B149, Installation
Codes.
Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important
to know the specifics that apply to your area, ie: in Massachusetts
State:
•
The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in
the open position prior to installation of a fireplace insert or
gas log.
CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
•
•
•
The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
The flexible connector must not be longer than 36".
The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom
or bathroom unless unit is direct-vent.
WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter when installed within the common-
wealth of Massachusetts.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with
a clean dry cloth. The BCDV48 is factory equipped with tempered
glass. The glass thickness is 3/16". Use only replacement 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
•
Mobile home installation must conform with local codes or in the absence as required. DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! If the glass is not
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 Manufactured Home Installations, Sites and
Communities Standard ANSI/NFPA 501A in the United States.
The fireplace and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected
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 shut off 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).
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 extending the full width
and depth.
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 CSAC22.1 CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
kept clean permanent discolouration and / or blemishes may result.
Use only accessories designed for and listed with your spe-
cific fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate accessibil-
ity clearance for servicing and operating the fireplace. Never
obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the venting
instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create dif-
ficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection 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 recom-
mended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be 'finished',
(i.e. drywall/sheetrock) as would any other outside wall of the
home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is main-
tained within the cavity.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages,
crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped
in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum
of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST-
FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum input
is 36,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 36,000 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 altitude input rating shall be reduced at
the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft.
Maximum output is 23,500 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 65%. The maxi-
mum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 62%.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5" water column for natural
gas and 11" water column for propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure
is 7" water column for natural gas and 13" water column for propane.
Manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5" water column for
natural gas and 10" water column for propane.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting
room installations and is suitable for mobile home installation.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required for the
gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and are to be expected.

VENTING
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. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace after the
fireplace is installed. Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attic, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation
wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.
VENTING LENGTHS
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or
paved driveway which is located between two single family
dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations
may require different clearances.
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or
American Metal Amerivent venting components.Minimum and
maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations,
and air terminal locations for either system are set out in this manual
and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp
and American Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure
provided with the venting components.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or ver-
tical 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 penetrating interior walls,
floor or ceiling.
All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be sealed using
Red RTV Hight Temperature Sealant.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American
Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be combined.
HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 2" all
around the vent pipe in all horizontal runs to combustibles is required.
Use firestop spacer W010-1778 (supplied).
A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased from the
corresponding supplier:

For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal
runs have a 1" rise per foot when using Wolf Steel flexible vent
components.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf
Steel rigid / flexible components with the following termination kits:
WALL TERMINAL KIT GD422, or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TER-
MINAL KIT GD410, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411,
FLAT ROOF TERMINALKIT GD412 or PERISCOPE KIT GD401 (for
wall penetration 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.
It is recommended to attach the Wolf Steel 45º rigid adaptor
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.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the
fireplace. FIGURES 3 & 4. 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 (excluding the fireplace and the air terminal connections)
when using aluminium flexible venting.
When terminating vertically, restrictor plate W500-0205 must be
installed. (Refer to Restricting Vertical Vents).
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace performance,
keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times. Ex-
amine 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.

The mobile home appliance is field convertible between Natural Gas
(NG) and Propane (LP).
To convert from one gas to another consult your Continental dealer/
distributor.
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
NOTE: All gas connections must be contained within the fireplace
when complete.

2. The fireplace is designed to accept 3/8" gas supply line. The
fireplace is equipped with a 3/8" manual shut-off valve.
3. Connect the gas supply in accordance to local codes. In the
absence thereof, install according to the National Installation Code.
4. When flexing any gas line, support the gas valve so that the lines
are not bent or kinked.

5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.
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 enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock),
as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure
that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove removed.
Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before re-in-
stalling the door.
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system
is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace
system.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to accommodate
for the thickness of the finished floor materials, 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.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of
48" away from the front face.
OPTIONAL WALL SWITCH
INSTALLATION
For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch may be installed
in a convenient location. A 20’ length of millivolt wire is connected to
the gas valve for the wall switch. However if a greater length is required
route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through the electrical hole lo-
cated at the bottom left side of the unit. The recommended maximum
lead length depends on wire size:
WIRE SIZE
14 gauge
16 gauge
18 gauge
MAX. LENGTH
100 feet
60 feet
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the fire-
place but must not cover any of the black face areas of the fireplace.
Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude
in these areas.
40 feet
Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the gas valve.

settle on the floor
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use tools.
If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a quali-
fied service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in
a fire or explosion.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which will not
allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocouple has cooled.
Allow approximately 60 seconds for the thermocouple to cool.
When lighting and relighting, the gas knob cannot be turned from
pilot to off unless the knob is depressed slightly.
6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the pilot with
the push button igniter. Keep knob depressed for one minute, then
release. If pilot does not continue to burn, repeat steps 3 through
5.
7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clockwise to
1. Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.
2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas includ-
ing near the floor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above safety information
on this label. If you don't smell gas go the next step.
on.
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.
9. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
TO TURN OFF GAS
1. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is to be
performed.
2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do
not force.
MAINTENANCE
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of
the ports which may not be burning or are not burning properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the
thermocouple and thermopile and reaches toward the burner with
the third jet.
Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing the
fireplace.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous 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 vapours
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 open-
ings 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 vacuuming or brushing,
at least once a year.

Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clockwise 2 or 3
turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the test point. Gauge should
read 7" (minimum 4.5") water column for natural gas or 13" (11" minimum) water
column for propane. Check that main burner is operating on "HI".
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B). Gauge
should read 3.5" water column for natural gas or 10" water column for propane.
Check that main burner is operating on "HI".
