A. VENTING FIREPLACE INSERTS
The ENVIROGAS 828 insert may be installed and vented into
any solid fuel fireplace that has been installed in accordance
with the National, Provincial/State and local building codes and
has been constructed of non-combustible materials.
An approved 4" chimney liner, throat connector, and rain cap
must be installed, to ensure a tight seal, top performance,
safety
and efficiency. Carefully follow the manufacturers instructions
which accompany the chimney liner kit.
Measure the height of the chimney beforehand and purchase
the appropriate kit. Never attempt to over stretch a flexible
liner to accommodate the height of the chimney.
Install sealed throat connector to prevent leakage of room air
through chimney.
Any flue damper must be removed or blocked permanently in
the open position.
The chimney must be clean, in good working order and
10

constructed out of non-combustible materials.
Make sure that all chimney clean outs are tightly fitting and will not permit air to leak into the chimney.
Remove the vent collar plate from the top of the insert and connect it securely with at least 3 sheet metal
screws and a 4" hose clamp. Check for any tears in the liner at this point. (See also Assembly and Installation
Instructions section 5 )
IMPORTANT: The screw that holds the vent collar plate in it's approved position must be installed.

For best venting performance, we recommend total
vent height of 10ft (3m) to 30ft (9m). Total
horizontal length depends on the number of elbows
used. The venting should never slope down. 1/4"
rise per 2' horizontal is recommended.
If practical, it is best have shorter horizontals and
fewer elbows.
-Two 90°elbow, maximum total horizontal length of 20ft (6m).
-Three 90°elbow, maximum total horizontal length of 13ft (3.8m).
-Four 90°elbow, maximum total horizontal length of 6ft (1.9m).
-Five 90°elbow, maximum total horizontal length of 0ft (0m).
If 45°elbows are used, one 90°elbow is equivalent
to two 45°elbows.
Venting rise should be a minimum of 3 ft (.62m).
from the top of the unit before any horizontal.
For other special venting requirements, please refer
to the local, state/provincial or national codes.
The bottom of the vent cap shall extend at least 2ft.

12. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Periodically check to ensure that the "B-Vent" venting
system is clear and that a negative draft is present
when the unit is operating. On fireplace insert models
there is a draft inspection tube the opening is located
on the right hand side behind the hinged side. A
vacuum should be present at the opening.
Periodically check the pilot and burner flames (See
Fig.11)
CLEANING OF GLASS
Do not clean glass when hot
It will be necessary to clean the ceramic glass
periodically. During a cold start up condensation will
sometimes form on the glass, this is a normal
condition with all gas fireplaces and stoves. However,
sometimes this condensation can allow dust and lint
to cling to the glass surface. Also, sometimes initial
paint curing of the appliance can leave behind a slight
film on the glass. This is a temporary problem. It is
therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned
initially after about the first two weeks of use.
After that, depending upon the amount of use,
cleaning should be required no more than two or three
times per season.
To clean the door, use a mild glass cleaner and a soft
cloth. Abrasive cleaners will damage the glass
surface.
OPENING THE GLASS DOOR

while knob is depressed.)
-Bleed line.
-Check gas line pressure.
-Contact dealer.
Burners will not remain lit Problem with thermopile circuit -Check gas-line pressure.
-Check for flame impingement on
thermopile, if low see “Pilot will not
stay lit”
-check thermopile for a Minimum of
300 mV when burner switched on.
-Check wiring to thermostat for breaks.
-Check for spillage at draft hood that may trip spill
switch.
