INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE
TheEconoPlus36DV-RVclearances to combustiblematerials are
0" back,1"sides,0"floorand4"top. TheEconoPlus36DV-RVmust
not be installed any closer than 8 inches to any unprotected
combustible wall perpendicular to the fireplace opening.
Forprotectionagainstfreezingtemperatures,itisrecommended that
the outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This
will reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the
fireplace.

CAUTIONS
CAUTION
1). Extremly important: In heavy snow areas take extra care to
prevent against blocking vent termination with snow removal
equipment.
2). Flue gases exiting vent terminals are very hot and must not be
restricted to assure fireplace combustion is not affected.
3). Do not place, build any obstruction, plant any bushes or for any
reason attempt to conceal the vent termination. To do so will
affect the operation of the fireplaceand may be hazardous.
4). Do not recess vent terminals into walls or siding.
5). Terminals with components which exceed 180 F+ ambient
while under continuous operation are required by National
Standards to be protected with an additional screen on patio's,
decks and any areas accessible to public. For maximum safety
we recommend all terminals below 7' from grade level be
installed with a certified Econo Plus Heat Guard.
INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
The gas line must be installed before finishing the Econo Plus
36DV-RV Fireplace. Natural Gas requires an inlet pressure of
7" W.C. & a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C. Propane Gas
requires an inlet pressure of 11" W.C. & a manifold pressure of
10.5" W.C. It is also required that provisions be made for a
1/8" N.P.T. plugged tapping and be accessable for test gauge
connection immediately upstream of the gas supply controls to
the appliance. The fireplace gas connection and the main
operating gas valve is located behind the removable brass trim
atthebottom of the unit and need only be attached to the gas line
withanapprovedfitting, as required by the CAN/CGAB-149.1
and .2 Gas Installation Code.
*After gas line is connected, it is a CAN/CGA B149.1 & .2. code
requirement (Section 8.25.3 (e)) that "each appliance connection,
valve, valve train, shall be checked while under normal operating
pressure with either a liquid solution, or leak detection device, to
locate any source of leak." Tighten any areas where bubbling
appears or leak is detected until bubbling stops completely or leak
is no longer detected. DoNOT use a flame of any kind to test for
leaks
VENT TERMINATION LOCATION
Refer to the section on selecting a fireplace location to determine
where your Econo Plus 36DV-RV will be installed.
Next, determine the vent terminal location. (see appendix A) for
allowed areas. The outlet must be framed with an 12" x 12" inside
dimension (see Figure 4).

NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test
requirements are for fire hazard prevention to combustible
materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for
the wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many
models of fireplaces which are hot, fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above
normal room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot
to touch.
.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of
elavated mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product
design, for example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause
melting, deformation, discoloration or premature failure of T.V.
and radio components.
Painting: Special care is recommended by the Master Painters
and Decorators Association, when painting the fireplace
surrounds, to select and apply a quality Alkyd sealer prior to the
applying of latex paints. This is to prevent leaching of water
from evaporation and causing a brownish staining effect to paint
over coats.

hold for1 minute, then release. If pilot does not remain
ignited, repeat, allowing a longer time to elapse before
releasing dial.
c) Re-install inner and outer glass door.
NOTE: For your protection and safety, main gas burner can not
be activated until inner glass door has been re-installed to activate
a safety cut off switch.
d) To light the main burner, turn dial to “ON”, then turn on
remote switch.

fireplace area clear and free of combustible materials, as well as
gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.
CLEANING
Whenfireplace isfirst activatedsomesmoking andvisible filmon
the glass may occur, this is a normal condition of heat burning of
protective coatings on new metal.
-Products of combustion do deposit a visable film on the glass
which must be cleaned periodically. Film can easily be
removed by removing inner and outer doors, handling
carefully, and cleaning with normal liquid household products.
WARNING: Do not attemptto clean glasswhen hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass
etching may cause premature glass failure.
- Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas",
leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion
chamber walls. This can easily be removed using normal
household products.
- Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
- Logs may be cleaned periodically with soap and water to
remove soot.
CAUTIONS
* Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and
pilotandmain burners extinguished when cleaning
appliance with a vacuum.
* Doorsand logscangetveryhot, handleonlywhenlogs are
