GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!
Maximum input is 26,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane for
the CDV36. Maximum input for the BCDV36 is 17,000 BTU/h for
natural gas and propane. When the fireplace is installed at el-
evations above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific recom-
mendations from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certi-
fied high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4%
for each additional 1,000ft.
Maximum output for natural gas is 22,360 BTU/hr at an effi-
ciency of 86% with the fan on, and 22,880 BTU/hr for propane
at an efficiency of 88% with the fan on. The A.F.U.E. (annual
fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 64% for natural gas and
65% for propane. These efficiency ratings apply to Model
CDV36only.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane.
Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water column for
natural gas and 13 inches water column for propane. Mani-
fold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-
sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in a
mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site and
fueled with natural gas.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is re-
quired for the gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up
and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be
expected.
CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth. The CDV36 is factory equipped with
ceramic glass. The BCDV36 is factory equipped with tem-
pered glass. The glass thickness is 3/16" for both models.
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 as required. DO NOT
CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! If the glass is not kept clean
permanent discolouration and / or blemishes may result.
Use only accessories designed for and listed with
your specific fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate
accessibility 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.
eviation from the minimum vertical vent length can
create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent con-
nection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
The fireplace must be installed against finished
walls. o not install against a vapour barrier or ex-
posed insulation.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (at-
tics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated
with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve
to minimize condensation.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept
a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the
unit.

W415-0211/C/03.20.01
VENTING LENGTHS
Use only Wolf Steel or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS
venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths,
for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air termi-
nal locations for either system are set out in this manual
and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow
the installation procedure provided with the venting com-
ponents.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the fol-
lowing termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222, or
1/12 TO 7/12 PITCHROOF TERMINALKITGD110,8/12TO
12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TERMI-
NAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD220 or the 10 foot vent kit GD330.
Wolf Steel rigid and flexible venting systems must not
be combined.
Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting systems
must not be combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting
of the fireplace. FIGURES 3a, & 5a. The maximum allow-
able horizontal run is 20 feet. The maximum allowable ver-
tical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 4" vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (exclud-
ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections) when
using aluminum flexible venting.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace perform-
ance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum.
The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times.
Examine 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
open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner
before closing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
Six (6") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for
the 7" diameter flexible liner.
For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a 1 inch rise per foot when using
Wolf Steel flexible vent components.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk
or paved driveway which is located between two sin-
gle family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local
codes or regulations may require different clearances.
o not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or
vertical 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 pen-
etrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
Minimum clearance to combustible con-
struction from fireplace and vent surfaces:
sides, back, bottom and top of the unit 0 inch
recessed depth 14 inches
top, sides and bottom of the vent pipe*1 inch
top of the vent pipe - rear vent only* 2 inches
*REAR VENT - A clearance to combustibles of 1" at the
bottom of the vent and 2" at the top must be maintained
during the first 12" of venting when penetrating combusti-
ble walls. The firestop spacer (DV-615.044) supplied with
the unit should be used to maintain this clearance. There-
after a 1" clearance to combustibles may be maintained
using firestop spacer (GD-500.96).
TOP VENT - Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all
around the vent pipe is required.

VERTICAL INSTALLA-
TION: This application oc-
curswhen venting through
a roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are
available from your Conti-
nental dealer. See Acces-
sories to order the spe-
cific kit required.
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9½
inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the
minimum 1 inch clearance between the fireplace pipe /
liner and any combustible material. Try to center the ex-
haust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent
having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of
the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE
OF MATERIAL. A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials
such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around
the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.
2. Apply a bead of
caulking (not sup-
plied) to the frame-
work or to the Wolf
Steelvent pipe shield
plate or equivalent
(in the case of a fin-
ished ceiling), and secure over the opening in the ceiling.
FIGURE 26. A firestop must be placed on the bottom of
each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the venting
system passes through. Apply a bead of caulking all around
and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict
cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fire-
place. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the
required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe /
liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant between
the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.
FIGURE25
FIGURE26
FORSAFE ANDPROPEROPERATION OFTHEFIREPLACE,
FOLLOWTHEVENTINGINSTRUCTIONSEXACTLY.
NOTE: REAR EXIT - A clearance to combustibles of
1" at the bottom of the vent and 2" at the top must
be maintained during the first 12" of venting when
penetrating combustible walls. The firestop spacer
(DV-615.044) supplied with the unit should be used
tomaintain thisclearance.Thereafter a 1"clearance
to combustibles may be maintained using firestop
spacer(GD-500.96).
TOP EXIT - Only a clearance to combustibles of 1"
all around the vent pipe is required.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION:
This application occurs when vent-
ing through an exterior wall. Having
determined the air terminal loca-
tion, cut and frame a hole in an ex-
terior wall with a minimum open-
ing as required. See Note above.
(As an alternative to framing, a vent
pipe shield may be installed, en-
suring a 1" clearance to
combustibles. See Figure 24.)
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined
depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking
(not supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the
case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the
opening to the interior wall. The final location of the vent
pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to the
7" vent pipe / liner. (See note above). Do not fill this cavity
withanytype of material. Apply a bead of caulking allaround
and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict
cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fire-
place. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the
required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent
pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant
between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.

HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTAL-
LATION
1. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminium flexible liner to the
required length taking into account the additional length
needed for the finished wall surface. Apply a heavy bead of
the high temperature sealant, supplied with the unit, to the
inside of the 4" liner approximately 1" from the end. Slip the
liner a minimum of 2" over the fireplace vent collar and
secure with 3 #8 screws.
2. Using the 7" diameter flexible aluminium liner, apply
sealant, slide a minimum of 2 " over the fireplace combus-
tion air collar and secure with 3 #8 screws.
3. Insert the liners through the firestop. Position and
secure the fireplace using the nailing tabs (2 per side)
and/or secure to the floor using screws inserted through
the two ¼" diameter holes in the front left and right corners
of the base. The liners should be flush with the exterior
wall. The air terminal mounting plate may be recessed
into the exterior wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the
return flange.
4. From outside, apply a bead of the high temperature
sealant to the inside of both liners, approximately 1" from
the end of each liner.
5. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, read-
able position), insert into both liners with a twisting motion
to ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the
liners / sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and
make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).
EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AIR TERMI-
NAL INSTALLATION
Use the GD220 vent kit and couplers for this application.
If more than one length of liner needs to be used to reach
the fireplace, couple them together as illustrated in
FIGURE 28. Seal the joints using the same procedure as
described in points 2 and 3. The vent system must be
supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and
horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel support ring assemblies,
GA-GD-010.370 or equivalent noncombustible strapping
to maintain the minimum 1" clearance to combustibles as
well as to prevent sagging.
USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS
Use only approved aluminum flexible liner kits marked:
"Wolf Steel Approved Venting" as identified by the stamp only on the 7 outer liner.
FIGURE27
Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at prede-
termined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7"
outer liner. These spacers must not be removed.
VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION
1. Fasten the roof support to
the roof using the screws pro-
vided. FIGURE 29. Theroof sup-
port is optional. In this case the
venting is to be adequately sup-
ported using either an alternate
method suitable to the authority
having jurisdiction or the op-
tional roof support.
2. Stretch the 4" diam-
eter aluminium flexible
liner to the required
length. Slip the liner a
minimum of 2" over the
innersleeve of the air ter-
minal and secure with 3
#8 screws. Seal using a
heavy bead of the high temperature sealant.
3. Repeat using the 7" diameter flexible aluminium liner.
4. Thread the air terminal pipe assembly down through
the roof. The air terminal must be located vertically and
plumb. Attach the air terminal assembly to the roof sup-
port, ensuring that a minimum 16" of air terminal will pen-
etrate the roof when fastened.

5. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the
sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi-
nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of
the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly
centered within the flashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around.
Fasten to the roof. Do not nail through the lower portion of
the flashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking.
Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flash-
ing with roofing material.

W415-0211/C/03.20.01
The vent system must be supported approximately every 3
feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel
vent spacers W615-0033 or equivalent every 3 feet and
either side of each elbow to maintain the minimum 1¼"
clearance between the outer and inner vent pipes. Use
Wolf Steel support ring assembly W010-0370 or equiva-
lent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum
clearance to combustibles for both vertical and horizontal
runs.
HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTAL-
LATION
1. Move the fireplace into po-
sition. Measure the vent length
required between terminal and
fireplace taking into account the
additional length needed for the finished wall surface and any
1¼" overlaps between venting components.
2. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the 4"
inner collar of the fireplace. Attach the first vent component and
secure using 3 self tapping screws. Repeat using 7" piping.
3. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable
position), insert into both vent pipes with a twisting motion to
ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the vent
pipes and sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and
make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).
The air terminal mounting plate may be recessed into the
exterior wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the return flange.
EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AIR TERMI-
NAL INSTALLATION
1. Follow the instructions for "Horizontal Air Terminal In-
stallations", items 1 to 3.
2. Continue adding components alternating inner and
outer venting. Ensure that all 4" venting and elbows have
sufficient vent spacers attached and each component is
securely fastened to the one prior. Attach the 4" telescopic
sleeve to the vent run.
Repeat using a 7" tel-
escopic sleeve. Secure
and seal as before. To
facilitate completion, at-
tach 4" and 7" couplers

8. Continue adding rigid venting sections, sealing and
securing as above. Attach a 4" collapsed telescopic pipe
to the last section of rigid piping. Secure with screws and
seal. Repeat using a 7" telescopic pipe.
9. REAR VENT APPLICATION: Run a bead of high tem-
perature sealant around the outside of the 4" elbow. Pull
the adjustable pipe a minimum 2" onto the elbow. Secure
with 3 screws. Repeat with the 7" telescopic pipe.
TOP VENT APPLICATION: Run a bead of high tempera-
ture sealant around the outside of the 4" collar on the fire-
place. Pull the adjustable pipe a minimum of 2" onto the
collar. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with the 7" telescopic
pipe.
10. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up
the open end of the shield and tighten. This will prevent
any materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air
space around the pipe.
RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS:
Model CDV36 Vertical Terminal only:
Vertical terminations running longer than 15 feet may dis-
play a very active flame. As this appearance is not desir-
able, the vent exit must be restricted using restrictor plate
kit, RP-KT. This reduces the velocity of the exhaust gases,
slowing down the flame pattern and creating a more tradi-
tional appearance. Specific instructions are included with
the kit.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori-
zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be
installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air
Terminal Installation" for installation.
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes
located in the front left and right corners of the base. For
mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened
in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the
holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the
fireplace be secured in all installations.
Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the
source, prior to moving the mobile home.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the
fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.
