Gas Line Requirements
!
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and the
requirements listed below.
!
The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig, isolate the gas
supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
!
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.
Fuel
•
This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on the top
of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.
Gas Line Connection
•
A manual shutoff valve is required for installation (within 3’ of the heater or inside the fireplace).
T-Handle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts in compliance with code 248CMR.
The 1" diameter access hole is located 2-3/8" above the base of the fireplace. Cut

Vent Requirements
!
The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire (see “Clearances”
below). Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
!
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. Each direct vent gas appliance
must use it's own separate vent system.
Altitude Considerations
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have found that
the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
!
Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard. Consult your
dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

combustion for all vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust
the restrictor position. The charts for acceptable vent configurations detail the correct vent restrictor position.

NOTE: The combustible area above the facing must not protrude more than 3/4" from the facing. If it does, it
is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel requirements listed in this manual.
WARNING: Do not use adhesive to secure the cement board or facing. The high
temperatures of the fireplace may cause adhesives to emit odors. Use mastic or thin set
(or other non-combustible, non-odorous adherent) to attach the facing to the cement
board.
NOTE: Screws may be used to secure the cement board to the fireplace. Do not
penetrate the fireplace more than 3/4”
The fireplace requires a concrete

This fireplace has been tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the fireplace,
with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment. If local codes require resizing the
orifice, in the U.S.A. refer to ANSI 223.1, Appendix P, in Canada B-149.1 or B-149.2
!
Failure to properly adjust the air shutter may lead to improper combustion and a safety
hazard. Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 12" tall. Check the

ACID WASH WARNING: Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been treated with
acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash (muriatic acid) is
used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution, the plated face may
develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your dealer if uncertain your facing

Operation
Starting The Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is required to ignite the main
burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be left
on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas control
valve is turned to "OFF". However, the pilot will go
out if the gas is shut off, the propane tank runs out
(or low) or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot
turns off frequently, call your dealer for information.
To start the pilot follow the directions below:

Operation
39
Starting the Fireplace for the First Time
+
Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will cure the
painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This is normal. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room.
+
Dust may accumulate inside the convection area of the heater when left idle. Once the heater is re-started, a
“smoky” smell may be created (similar to a baseboard heater when it is re-started).
+
+
Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the fireplace - this is normal.
Blue Flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will turn a
more realistic yellow and orange color.
?
Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the fireplace on and off. If this is the case, leave the
ON/OFF switch "ON".

Extinction Pops
It is not unusual, especially on Propane (LP) appliances,
to experience a "pop" when the burner is shut off.
Gas Control Valve
As the gas control valve is turned on and off you
will hear a dull clicking sound. This is the valve
opening up and shutting down.
Normal Operating Odors
This appliance has several areas that reach high temperatures. Dust or other particles on these areas may
burn and create an odor. This is normal during start-up. You may notice the smell is more acute if the
appliance was left idle for a long period.

How this Fireplace Works
!
This fireplace was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this fireplace
are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this fireplace.
What Turns the Main Burners On and Off
This fireplace uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount of electricity). The
thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame. This electricity is used to
operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turn on. That is why when starting the
pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the thermocouple to heat up and generate
enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see
the illustration below). Because the thermopile generates the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on and
off, this fireplace can be operated when the power is out (although the blower will not run).
When heated, the thermopile
generates electricity (a very small
amount measured in "Millivolts").
This electricity is
used to operate the
main burners.
The main burners
are switched on and
off using the
electricity generated
by the thermopile.
The ON/OFF switch,
remote control, or
thermostat control
the circuit to the main
burner.

OFF
What Prevents Gas Buildup
+
This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no gas builds up
inside the firebox.
+
The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out, this
thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas to the
heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.
Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is a time-proven
component that eliminates the possibility
of gas buildup inside the firebox.
Gas Valve
This high-technology valve automatically
External Shut Off Valve
shuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal
from the thermocouple. If any component is
damaged or sensing a malfunction, or if the
wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.
This valve is placed on the gas line
to shut off gas to the appliance
during maintenance procedures.
Ceramic Glass
The glass in your heater is the most
durable glass available. It has been
tested to be extremely resistant to
breakage from temperature changes.
Thermocouple
The thermocouple generates a small
amount of electricity. If the pilot flame
goes out, the gas valve automatically
shuts off all gas.
