or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extend-
ing 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 cur-
rent ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the
United States.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above
2,000ft, 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.
Suitable for mobile home installation where the mobile
home has been permanently placed on its site. This heat-
er must not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.
This fireplace may be installed in an aftermarket per-
manently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
CARE OF PLATED PARTS
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY
LEAD TO DEATH
Ceiling fans or oscillating type floor fans can cause flame
impingement if directing air at the fireplace. Impinging
flames will cause soot or carbon that may enter into living
area. Try reversing ceiling fan or re-directing floor fans to
prevent sooting.

W415-0298 / K / 12.06.07
ROOM 2
ROOM 1
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space
or unusually tight construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
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’, (i.e. drywall/sheetrock) as would
any other outside wall of the home. This will ensure
that clearance to combustibles is maintained within
the cavity.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defines a confined
space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kW) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an
unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than
50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kW) of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the
appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with
doors are considered a part of the unconfined space.
The CVF36 is rated at 30,000BTUs per hour and
therefore requires a minimum unconfined space
of 1,500 cubic feet.
To determine the volume of the room where the heater is to
be installed, multiply the width x the length x the ceiling height
of that room measured in feet. If any adjoining rooms are con-
nected by grills or openings such as kitchen pass-throughs,
etc., the volume of those rooms may be added to the total.
Multiply the room volume by 1000 and divide this amount
by 50 to determine the maximum Btu/hr that the space can
support with adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Add the Btu/hr of all fuel burning appliances located within
the space such as gas furnace, gas water heater, etc. Do not
include direct vent gas appliances which draw their input and
output air from and to the outdoors.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated
is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if the
building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods de-
scribed in the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, Section
5.3 or the applicable local code.
FIGURE 1
Room Volume = Length x Width x Height
Max BTU/hr = Room Volume x 1000 ÷ 50
If for example,
the length of the rooms is 10 feet,
the width of Room 1 is 10 feet,
the width of Room 2 is 15 feet
the height of the rooms is 8 feet.
The volume of Room 1: 10 x 10 x 8 = 800 cubic feet.
The volume of Room 2: 10 x 15 x 8 = 1200 cubic feet.
If in this example a solid door separates Room 1 from Room
2, the volume of Room 2 could not be used. In this case the
maximum BTU/h would be:
Maximum BTU/h: 800 x 1000 = 16,000 BTU/h
This would be considered a confined space since it can not
support the 30,000BTU/h input of the heater and it would be
necessary to provide adequate combustion and ventilation
air to Room 1.
In this example, because there is no door to the adjoining
room, the volume of the adjoining room may be added to the
volume of the room with the heater to get a total unconfined
space.
The total unconfined space: 800 + 1200 = 2000 cubic feet.
Maximum BTU/h: 2000 x 1000 = 40,000 BTU/h
If there are no more fuel burning appliances within this space
then the 30,000 BTU/h input of the fireplace is suitable to
be installed. This also assumes that the construction of this
space is not unusually tight.

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
NOTE: All gas connections must be contained within
the fireplace when complete.
1. Move the fireplace into position and secure to the floor
through the 1/4" holes located at either side of the base.
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.
Unusually tight construction is defined as con-
struction where:
a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere
have a continuous water vapour retarder with a rating of
1 perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings
gasketed or sealed, and
b) Weather stripping has been added on openable win-
dows and doors, and
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as
joints around window and door frames, between sole plates
and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels,
at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and
at other openings.
An unvented room heater is recommended for use as a
secondary heat source rather than as a primary source.
Gas combustion produces water vapour which could occur
at the rate of approximately one ounce of water for every
1,000 BTU/hr of gas input. During the cold weather season,
indoor humidity levels tend to be low. Consequently, this
water vapour can enhance the living space. However if a
problem should occur:
a) ensure sufficient combustion and circulation air
b) use a dehumidifier
c) do not use the unvented room heater as a primary
heat source
Without sufficient fresh air for proper operation, poor fuel
combustion can result. Carbon Monoxide is a result of poor
combustion.
If additional fresh air is required, use one of the meth-
ods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1,
Section 5.3 or the applicable local code.
GAS INSTALLATION
FIGURE 3
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. How-
ever if a greater length is required route 2-strand (solid core)
millivolt wire through the electrical hole located at the bottom
left side of the unit. The recommended maximum lead length
depends on wire size:

To install the fireplace face
flush with the finished wall,
position the framework to ac-
commodate the thickness of
the finished wall. Bend out the
four nailing tabs, attached on
either side of the fireplace and
secure to the 2x4 framing. The
tabs will facilitate the installation
of either a 3/4” or a 1” finished
wall thickness. The nailing
tabs must not be removed.
Combustible mantel clearance can vary according to the mantel
depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clearance needed.
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned. Use 2x4’s
and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 5-7.

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.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of
the fireplace 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.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace
system.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to accom-
modate 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 4 feet away from the front face.

Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row
of ports covering all of the burner area in front of the small
logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the embers
into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges of
the fibre hairs will glow. The ember material will only glow
when exposed to direct flame; however, care should be
taken to not block the burner ports.
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct flame. Use only certified “glowing
embers” and PHAZERTM logs available from your Continen-
tal® dealer.

Because the blower is thermally activated, when
turned on, it will automatically start approximately
10 minutes after lighting the fireplace and will
run for approximately 30-45 after the fireplace
has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the
output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bear-
ings causing irreparable damage. Care must be
taken to prevent drywall dust from coming into
contact with the blower or its compartment. Any
damage resulting from this condition is not cov-
ered by the warranty policy.
FIGURE 19
This optional kit is meant to be used only in conjunction with
the GD65 Fan Kit, which may be ordered from your Wolf
Steel /Continental® dealer.
With the thermostatic sensor option, the fan, when turned
on, becomes thermally activated, and will automatically run
approximately 10 minutes after the fireplace has been lit
and for approximately 30-45 minutes after the fireplace has
been turned off.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat.
If optional thermostatic sensor kit is to be installed, remove
thermodisc from the bracket supplied in the kit and disgard
the bracket. Install thermodisc in the bracket supplied with the

When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be turned
from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed.
1. STOP! Read the above safety information on this la-
bel.
2. Set the thermostat to lowest setting.
3. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
4. Open the control door. Turn the gas knob clockwise
to off.
5. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas including near the floor, STOP! Follow “B” in the
above safety information on this label. If you don’t smell
gas go to the next step.
6. Find pilot located in front of the back log.
7. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
B. Before operating smell all around the fireplace area for
gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the floor.
C. Use only your hand to push in and turn the gas control
knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in and
turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire
or explosion.
D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
fireplace and replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire depart-
ment.
WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be
lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
GAS KNOB
OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR
If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh
air. If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep
burner and control compartment clean.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight
odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi-
tion caused by the curing of the logs and the “burn-in” of
internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process and will not occur again.
After extended periods of non-operation such as follow-
ing a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace
may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by
dust particles burning off. In both cases, open a window
to sufficiently ventilate the room.
8. Depress and hold gas knob while lighting the pilot with
the push button igniter. Keep knob fully depressed for
one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue to
burn repeat steps 3 through 7.
9. With pilot lit, turn gas knob counter-clockwise to
on. When the pilot has been turned off, ignition of the
main burner may be delayed from 1-2 minutes.
When the pilot has been left burning, ignition of the main
burner should occur almost immediatley.
10. If equipped with remote on-off switch, main burner may
not come on when you turn the valve to on. Remote switch
must be in the on position to ignite burner.
11. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
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.

This procedure must be performed by a qualified
service person!
Inspect the pilot for any visible contamination or debris
(usually lint, pet hair, spider webs, carpet fibre, etc.) and
remove.
Disconnect the pilot from the pilot tubing line. Using a
7/16
”
wrench, remove the injector from the pilot housing. Blow out
the housing in the same direction as the gas flow.
Re-install the injector and the pilot tube, turn on the gas and
check for leaks.
If this does not improve the performance, replace the pilot
with an exact replacement. The device is tamper resistant
with no field serviceable parts.
Air shutter adjustment must only be done by a quali-
fied gas installer!
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but
can lead to carboning.
WARNING: Carbon can be distributed in surrounding
living area if the air shutter is improperly adjusted.
Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue flame, but can
cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The flame may not
appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the
final flame colour to be established.
Opening the air shutter will also reduce exhaust odours
smelled within the room. See Trouble Shooting Guide.

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER
BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-
ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This heater
should be inspected and serviced before use and at least an-
nually 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.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and oxygen deple-
tion sensor system, remove the logs to expose both as-
semblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter
opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuum-
ing or brushing, at least once a year.
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out
any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burn-
ing properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf
the thermocouple and thermopile and promptly ignites the
main burner.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on
all openings 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. FIGURES 28

ently too large or
too small. Carbon-
ing occurs.
- check pressure readings:
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.
Check with burner operating on “HI”. Gauge should read 7” (minimum
4.5”) water column for natural gas or 13” (11” minimum) water column
for propane.
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B).
Check with burner operating on “HI”. Gauge should read 3.5” water
column for natural gas or 10” water column for propane.
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN SCREWS
CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO NOT OVERTORQUE.
