Pre-installation Questions and Answers
About curing of the paint
Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries quickly in 15-20
minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone components, the paint will cure
when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used. The following information applies to the curing process to get the
paint fully hard and durable.
Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between each. Be aware
during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside of the glass doors. It is important
to remove this white deposit from the glass doors using a fireplace glass cleaner.
 Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.
 Ventilate well, open doors and windows.
 Do not touch during curing.
Why does my fireplace or stove give off odor?
It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odor at first. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives, silicones and
any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used with the installations (e.g.
marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can react with heat and cause odors).
It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with the fan off (if a fan
is present) after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odors can last upward to 40 hours of burn time; keep
burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odors dissipate.
Noise coming from the fireplace?
Noise is caused by the expansion and contraction of metal as the appliance heats up and cools down. This is normal and
is similar to the sounds produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of
your fireplace.
It is also normal for the fan to make some noise when it comes on. This noise can be reduced somewhat by turning down
the speed of the fan with the variable speed control. Be aware, however, that this will reduce the volume of heated air
circulated into the room by the fan.
Note to the Installer:
Be sure appliance is working properly and its operation (including remote control operation, if included) is fully explained
to and understood by the customer.
Operations and Maintenance Instructions
For safe installation and operation note the following:
 Be sure to read and understand all the instructions in this manual before operation of appliance.
 Ensure all wiring is correct and properly enclosed to prevent possible shock.
 Check for gas leaks.
 Make sure the glass door is properly installed before operation. Never operate the appliance with the glass door
removed.
 Make sure venting and termination cap are installed and unobstructed.
 If brick or porcelain liners are used, ensure they are installed.
 Verify that the pilot can be seen when lighting the appliance. If not, the log or rock placement is incorrect.
 If the unit is turned off, you must wait a minimum of 60 seconds before re-lighting it.
 Venting systems should be periodically examined by a qualified agency.
 The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
 The Burner/Log Assembly has been engineered and permanently adjusted for proper flame control.
 Periodically remove the logs from the grate assembly and vacuum any loose particles from the grate and burner
areas. See Log Placement page to remove logs. Vacuum burner parts and replace logs.
 Never use your gas fireplace as a cooking device.
 Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
 Areas in and around the Chase Vent Openings should be cleaned annually.

Fireplace Installations in Covered Outdoor Locations
– FOR BASIC MILLIVOLT UNITS ONLY- NO FAN – NO LIGHTS-
Kingsman and Marquis Direct Vent fireplaces may be installed into outdoor locations provided they are suitably protected
from direct water impingement. However, all installation clearances in the appliance manual must be observed. Framing,
Clearances to Combustibles, Mantel Heights, Facing Requirements, Venting Installation, etc. Use supplied Safety Screen.
 All wiring connections to line power shall be in accordance with outdoor requirements of; -NECA NFPA 70 in the USA
-Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 for Canada.
 The Fireplace is not to be operated in temperatures below freezing (0°C / 32°F).
 ⚠ NOTE: TEMPERED GLASS WARNING: Tempered glass is vulnerable to rapid and/or extreme changes in
temperature (thermal shock). Take care to prevent water from contacting the fireplace, especially if it is hot.
 See-Through Units are suitable for an outdoor location, but not on the outside wall of a house or other structure, as
air flows through both sides of the fireplace.
 A Minimum sheltering cover (overhang) of 1/2 the distance from the base of the fireplace to the ceiling (base of
roofline) is required.
EXAMPLE: The bottom of the fireplace is 84” from the ceiling.
Therefore, 42” of sheltering cover is required above fireplace.
CAUTION – Installation of an indoor gas fireplace with an outdoor exposure is not covered under the (ANSI
Z21.88 – CSA 2.22 or ANSI Z21.50 – CSA 2.33) standard(s) used to certify the indoor gas-fired fireplace. The
Intertek safety certification will not apply to this installation method. This installation method must be deemed
acceptable by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to the indoor gas fireplace being installed.

ZCV34 Framing Your Gas Fireplace
This section is intended for qualified installers only. Before beginning, make note of where the gas and electrical accesses are
located on the unit. This will streamline the construction process. Furthermore, familiarize yourself with the venting and
clearance requirements (see Venting section) for this appliance. Failure to comply with those requirements can seriously
compromise the safety and operation of the fireplace.
Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this fireplace against non insulated exterior wall or chase,
it is recommended that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. Drywall & vapor barrier
must be installed over insulation to prevent contact of insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace framing dimensions specified (view diagrams).
3. Drywall or other combustible material can extend up to the Drywall Stops located on the sides of the unit, and up to
the bottom and top.
4. A Hearth is not required for this unit.
Certified for installation in a bedroom or bedsitting room. In Canada must be installed with
listed millivolt thermostat (In USA see local codes).
ZCV34 Stand-off and Nailing Tab Locations
Make note of where the stand-off locations are. These stand-offs are provided as indicators to illustrate the boundaries
for framing. Therefore, no framing material is permitted to extend beyond these stand-offs.
Vertical Venting in Cold Climates
In cold climate conditions where temperatures go below -10 degrees Celsius or 14 degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend
that the chase be insulated and where the vent pipe enters into the attic space that the pipe be wrapped with an insulated
Mylar sleeve. This will increase the temperature of the vent and help the appliance to vent properly in cold weather
conditions.
It is also important in vertical vented direct vent appliances that the appliance be operated daily during the winter months
as this will help stop the termination from freezing up. We recommend using a thermostat set at room temperature to
allow the unit to cycle.
For IPI models it may be necessary to set the appliance to Standing Pilot mode to maintain heat in the cavity. The
purpose of this procedure is to prevent cold air from penetrating the chimney and then onto the living space. Therefore,
when the internal temperature is slightly elevated the fireplace is able to freely exhaust its combustion and hence making
it easier to startup.
Nailing Tabs
Holes are provided in bottom
of unit to secure appliance to
floor after installation.
Caution: Standoffs on top of the
unit must be folded into position &
screwed down Prior to installation.

ZCV34 -Mantel Clearances- for Non-Vented Chase
Fireplace is installed As Shipped, with Ventilation Plates in place.
Before installing any mantels it is
important to determine the
combustibility of its material(s). There
are two types of mantels to consider:
Combustible and Non-Combustible.
A Combustible Mantel is one that
consists of material(s) that may
discolor, combust, or lose its integrity
in the presence of heat. These types
of mantels must strictly conform to the
dimensional requirements shown.
Conversely, a Non-Combustible
Mantel is one that is constructed with
material(s) that will not combust.
Check your local codes and
regulations to determine whether your
mantel is Combustible or Non-
Combustible.
The advantage to Non-Combustible
Mantels is that it may extend right up
to the tile lip of the fireplace.
Combustible mantels must adhere to
the dimensional restrictions shown.
Mantel Dimensions are from front face
or Non-Combustible Facing Materials
covering fireplace.
-Combustible Objects on Non-
Combustible Mantel Warning-
Combustible objects must not be placed on
a Non-combustible Mantel unless the
mantel meets the dimensional requirements
for a Combustible Mantel. Determine
whether your mantel conforms to the
requirements of a Combustible Mantel.
