This gas fireplace heater is a natural con-
vection, heat circulating gas fireplace insert
designed for residential applications.This
heaterisdesigned to be installedintoan exist-
ingmasonry or factory built solid fuelburning
fireplace only - Masonry fireplace must be
built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards and
factory built(zeroclearance) fireplacemust be
listed to UL 127 or ULC S610. Units must use
a 4” listed B-Vent or listed liner (conforming
to UL 1777) from the appliance outlet to the
chimney termination. The venting system
must be routed through the existing fireplace
flue system to the vent termination.
Thismillivoltapplianceisdesignedtooper-
ate on natural gas or propane gas only.
A millivolt gas control valve with piezo igni-
tionsystemprovides safe, efficient operation.
External electrical poweris required to operate
the blower.
This appliance may be used with a thermo-
stat (see Optional Wall Thermostat). This
appliance is certified for use in bedrooms.
If installed in a bedroom in Canada, a ther-
mostat IS required.
This appliance requires an adequate supply
of combustion and ventilation air. As an
aid in determining whether or not these
requirements have been satisfied, follow the
procedure indicated in the section entitled
Spill Test Procedure (see page 16).
The millivolt appliance is manually con-
trolled and features a spark igniter (piezo)

This appliance uses a millivolt type control
system consisting of a gas control valve with
regulator (control to adjust for flame appear-
ance and heat output), astanding pilot burner
assembly, a thermopile, thermocouple, a
piezo igniter, and ON/OFF switch. All exhaust
gases must be vented outside the structure.
Combustion air isdrawn from the room where
appliance is installed. THE GAS BURNER
SYSTEM ON THIS APPLIANCE DOES NOT
REQUIRE 120 VOLT POWER TO OPERATE.
However, the heat circulation blower requires
120 Volt power (the appliance can be safely
used with the blower turned off). The blower
operation is controlled by a variable speed
rheostat located on the left side surround
panel (if optional surround is installed)
and temperature switch located beneath of
firebox bottom on the front left side.
Table 1 shows the BTU input:
Test gauge connections are provided on the
front of the millivolt gas control valve (identi-
fied IN for the inlet and OUT for the manifold
side). See Figures 32 & 33.
Tables 2 and 3 show the gas pressure
requirements for this appliance:

mustconformto appropriate local codes and
applicable state and federal requirements.
Familiarity with these requirements before
installation is essential. Some important
considerations to discuss with local building
officials include:
1. Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical
Code, State or Regional Gas Codes, National
Fuel Gas Code).
2. Local amendments.
3. Recognizedlisting/testingagency: OMNI-
Test Laboratories Inc.; Beaverton, Oregon
4. Is a permit required - cost?
5. In some states or municipalities, a
licensed gas fitter or plumber may be

FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: When installing this appliance
into a factory built fireplace or heatform, the air
flow within and around the fireplace shall not
be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e.
DO NOT BLOCK louvers or cooling air inlet or
outlet ports, circulating air chambers in a steel
fireplace liner or metal heat circulator).
CAUTION: The factory built firebox must
accept the insert without modification other
than removing bolted or screwed together
pieces such as smoke shelf / deflectors,
ash lips, screen or door tracks and damper
assemblies. Any fireplace component, which
is removed, must be retained so they can be
reinstalled to restore the fireplace to its
original operating condition. The removal of
any part must not alter the integrity of the
outer shell of the pre-engineered fireplace
cabinet in any way.
If any components are removed from (or
altered) from the existing fireplace, a Warning
Label (see below) must be affixed inside the
fireplace firebox, so that it shall be visible
upon removal of the fireplace insert. Note:
RTV high temperature silicone is an approved
adhesive.
