Mounting Plate Installation
- Page G -
Determine the desired location for the
mounting plate. To ensure the replace is a minimum
of 12" from the nished oor the mounting plate
should be installed so that the bottom edge of the
plate is 18 ½” from the nished oor (Figure 2).
Conrm all height dimensions shown in
the layout drawing (Figure 1) before installing the
mounting plate.
Guide the 120V with GFCI 15 Amp power
supply through the power supply pass through.
Also, guide the water line through to prepare for
the plumbing connection (if the client has chosen a
plumbed-in system option).
Attach the mounting plate using the
appropriate ½” lag bolts (not provided) for the
on-site substrate.
Bolts must be attached to structure capable
of supporting 250 lbs. minimum.
Ensure the mounting plate is plumb (straight),
level and secure before proceeding to the next step. Figure 2

Lift the replace into position. Align the
cleats on the mounting plate with the corresponding
slots on the back of the main body and lower into
place. The replace will have a 1/8” gap between the
wall and the main body (Figure 5).
This operation requires multiple people.
Guide the power supply through main body
and the plumbing line (if the plumbed-in option is
chosen).
Install the 3/8” set screws (supplied) through
the main body into the holes on the mounting plate.
Mount the Fireplace Connect the Power Supply
Connect the 120V with GFCI 15 Amp power
supply with switch to the junction box in the lower
portion of the main body. (Figure 6)
For Plumbed-In VITA Fireplaces:
Connect your ½” plumbing line to the
supplied ¼” connection (supplied) if this option is
chosen.

Door Assembly | Glass Installation
- Page J -
Install the Door Assembly
This operation requires multiple people.
Move the door assembly into position and
align the door glides on each side of the main body
and the door assembly (Figure 7).
Slide the door assembly into the closed
position to engage the door glides. Once engaged
the door will open 4" from the main body. Ensure
both left and right glides are engaged before
proceeding.
Figure 7
Install the Glass
With the door assembly secured to the
main body, open the door and place the glass panel
into the provided slot (Figure 8).
Once the glass is in place, close the door
assembly by pushing it rmly into the main body.
The door assembly will be opened and closed to
remove and replace the water reservoir for re-
lling.
Use caution when manipulating glass to
prevent injury. Do not apply any force
on the glass as this may cause breakage.

Electrical | Plumbed-In Instructions
- Page K -
Normal tap water can be used in theVapor-
Fire as long as the tap water is not considered to
be hard water. In the event your tap water is hard,
softened water is recommended.
NOTE: Plumbing connections should be
done by an experienced plumber familiar
with plastic tubing and connectors.
Downsize the ½" plumbing line to ¼" tube
and connect to valve (¼" supplied and connected
to burner before shipping) which is located in the
bottom corner of the burner on the bottom of the
replace body. Test for water leaks and make sure
connections are leak proof.
Access the Vapor-Fire burner to complete
the initial ll process by sliding out the door
assembly.
Vapor-Fire Burner
Slide the door assembly out to access the
burners (See Page J). TheVapor-Fire burner is
factory set and ready for the initial ll. Conrm that
all electrical and plumbing have been completed
before proceeding to the next step.
Initial Fill Instructions
There are two ways to complete the initial
ll. Both are acceptable whether you have chosen
the plumbed-in or manual ll options.
Each VITA Fireplace is supplied with an
orange initial ll bottle which is used for the initial
ll (plumbed-in option), and/or on a regular basis
(manual ll option).
Electrical Installation
NOTE: All electrical to be completed
rst. Do not turn on electrical until
plumbing has been completed.
The electrical and ¼” plumbed connection
is supplied.
The electrical connections are to be located
at the wall where the replace will be mounted.
The junction box is located in the replace body
below theVapor-Fire burner assembly (See Figure 6).
A dedicated circuit is required for the
junction box. Connect eld power 120V GFCI
wire,15 AMP service to the wires located in the
junction box.
Be sure to include an on/off switch (on the
wall is recommended) into your power supply to
control the system.
NOTE: Make sure the Vapor-Fire
burner power is off before
connecting.
Instructions for Continuous
Plumbed-In Systems
• The plumbing accessory kit is designed for use
with copper piping.
• Ensure that all plumbing connections meet local
plumbing code requirements.
• Ensure that the location of the plumbing
connection allows for easy access for shut-off
during scheduled maintenance.
4/9/19

It is now time to ll the water reservoir(s)
with 33.5oz (1L) of water. Take note of water level
markers (image 3 below). Be sure to ll water level
in between the markers so that the system can
learn the proper level to maintain during operation.
3)
Replace the assembly making sure that
clips are secure and connect the plumbing ll cap
assembly (if applicable).
NOTE: this method does not use the orange
initial ll bottle.
Option 2: Fill the reservoir using the
Initial ll bottle
If you have chosen the plumbed-in option,
remove the plumbing ll cap assembly (as outlined
- left). If your VITA replace uses the manual ll
option, there is no plumbing ll cap assembly.
Fill the orange initial ll container with
regular tap water and secure the cap without
twisting too tightly. Replace the container into the
tray with the valve facing downwards as shown
below. The valve ts gently into the socket used
for the plumbing ll cap assembly (see image B). No
need to tighten.
Initial Fill Instructions (continued)
- Page L -
Option 1: Fill the reservoir directly
Remove the plumbing ll cap assembly
by gently twisting clockwise and move cap to
side (images A & B below). For manual ll VITA |
Fireplaces, there will not be a plumbing ll cap
assembly present.
A)
B)
Remove top cover assembly on the burner
by depressing side tabs gently (images 1 and 2).

Manual Fill Instructions
- Page M -
• After the plastic container is empty or stops
owing into the reservoir, it has now lled to
the level required
• Rell the container with water and replace into
position. The maximum operating cycle time
will be between 8 to 10 hours.
• Slide the door assembly forwards to close the
unit. Ensure that all edges are ush and snug.
Proceed to turn on the Vapor-Fire replace.
NOTE: If after the test re stage,
the unit will be turned off to
complete construction, it is
recommended to rst drain all water from the
reservoirs and/or rell containers and dry to
protect the transducers from sitting idle in water
for extended periods.
Allow the water to drain into the
reservoir through the valve. You will hear a
gurgling sound. Once the water stops draining
into the reservoir below, the sound will stop.
This means that the vapor-re reservoir has
lled to the optimal level.
NOTE: For plumbed-in option replace the
plumbing ll cap assembly. For manual ll
Vapor-Fire, re-ll the initial ll bottle and keep
for regular operation.
For manual ll containers, re-ll
the initial ll bottle and keep for regular
operation.
DO NOT attempt to test re
the system until all plumbing and
electrical is completed and the
correct starting water level has been established.
Failure to follow this instruction could
incorrectly cause overow during operation.
Instructions for Manual Fill
Containers
• Slide door assembly outwards to access the
vapor-re burner.
• Remove the plastic container.
• Manually ll the supplied container with 1
litre of water.
• Secure the top without twisting too tightly.
• Place the container back into position, the
water in the container will drain into the
reservoir which will ll to the level required
for maximum operation (see picture 3 Page L).
