Please leave these instructions with the appliance.
Please retain these instructions for future reference
.
This fireplace is a vented product. This fireplace must be
properly installed by a qualified service person. The glass
door must be properly seated and sealed. If this unit is not
properly installed by a qualified service person with glass
door properly seated and sealed, combustion leakage
can occur.
Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with headaches,
dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the fire-
place may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air
at once! Have the fireplace inspected and serviced by a
qualified service person. Some people are more affected
by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant
women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high
altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The
odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added
to these gases can fade. Gas may be present even though
no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep
this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper
operation of this fireplace.
1. This appliance is only for use with the type of gas
indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not
convertible for use with other gases unless a certified
kit is used.
. For propane/LP fireplace, do not place propane/LP
supply tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane/
LP supply tank(s) outdoors. To prevent performance
problems, do not use propane/LP fuel tank of less than
100 lbs. capacity.
3. If you smell gas
• shut off gas supply.
• do not try to light any appliance.
• do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building .
• immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh-
bor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc-
tions.
4. Never install the fireplace
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flam-
mable objects are less than 4" from the front, top,
or sides of the fireplace
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
5. This fireplace reaches high temperatures. Keep chil-
dren and adults away from hot surfaces to avoid burns
or clothing ignition. Fireplace will remain hot for a time
after shutdown. Allow surfaces to cool before touch-
ing.
6. Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,
young children and others may be susceptible to
accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recom-
mended if there are at risk individuals in the house. To
restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an adjust-
able safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and
other at risk individuals out of the room and away from
hot surfaces.
7. Do not modify fireplace under any circumstances. Any
parts removed for servicing must be replaced prior to
operating fireplace.
8. Turn fireplace off and let cool before servicing, install-
ing, or repairing. Only a qualified service person should
install, service, or repair the fireplace. Have burner
system inspected annually by a qualified service
person.
9. You must keep control compartments, burners, and
circulating air passages clean. More frequent clean-
ing may be needed due to excessive lint and dust.
Turn off the gas valve and pilot light before cleaning
fireplace.
10. Have venting system inspected annually by a quali-
fied service person. If needed, have venting system
cleaned or repaired. Refer to Cleaning and Mainte-
nance, Page 36.
11. Keep the area around your fireplace clear of combus-
tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapor
and liquids. Do not run fireplace where these are used
or stored. Do not place items such as clothing or deco-
rations on or around fireplace.

1. Do not use this fireplace to cook food or burn paper or
other objects.
13. Never place anything on top of fireplace.
14. Do not use any solid fuels (wood, coal, paper, card-
board, etc.) in this fireplace. Use only the gas type
indicated on rating plate.
15. This appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C.1.
16. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air in any way. Provide adequate clearances around
air openings into the combustion chamber along with
adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and
proper operation.
17. When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting,
tile or other combustible material other than wood
flooring, you must set appliance on a metal or wood
panel or hearth pad extending the full width and depth
of the appliance.
18. Do not use fireplace if any part has been exposed to
or has been under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the appliance and replace
any part of the control system and any gas control
which as been submerged in water.
19. Do not operate fireplace if any log is broken.
0. Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert, or
any other accessory not approved for use with this
fireplace.
1. Do not operate the fireplace with glass door removed,
cracked, or broken.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for gas fireplaces to give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the
manufacturing process.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. Place the
fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

Consult local building codes before beginning the
installation. The installer must make sure to select the
proper vent system for installation. Before installing vent
kit, the installer must read this fireplace manual and vent
kit instructions.
Only a qualified installer/service person should install vent-
ing system. The installer must follow these safety rules:
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.
• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on
rooftops.
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and
ceilings.
The following actions will void the warranty on your vent-
ing system:
• Installation of any damaged venting component.
• Unauthorized modification of the venting system.
• Installation of any component part not manufactured
or approved by MHS.
• Installation other than permitted by these instruc-
tions.
Your fireplace is approved to be vented either through the
side wall, or vertical through the roof.
•
• Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any
venting application where rigid direct vent components
can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowanc-
es that pertain to the rigid piping apply to the flexible
venting.
Flex kits may not be modified. Flex kits may be added
to the end of a vent run made of rigid vent sections
using pipe manufacturer's approved flex to pipe adapt-
ers. This may occur only if doing so does not violate
any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to
vertical raito requirements or clearance considerations
detailed in this manual.
• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
• Horizontal venting which incorporates the twist lock
pipe must be installed on a level plane without an in-
clining or declining slope.
• Horizontal venting which incorporates the use of flex
venting shall have an inclining slope from the unit of 1”
(5 mm) per 4” (610 mm).
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, gar-
den sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 4”
(610 mm) from the front of the termination hood.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or
ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termina-
tion area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental
blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers,
make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination
area.
It is imperative the vent termination be located observing
the minimum clearances as shown on following page.

Termination in an alcove space (spaces open only on one side and with an overhang) is permitted with the dimensions specified for vinyl or
non-vinyl siding and soffits. 1. There must be a 3’ (914 mm) minimum between termination caps. . All mechanical air intakes within 10’ (1 m) of a
termination cap must be a minimum of 3’ (914 mm) below the termination cap. 3. All gravity air intakes within 3’ (914 mm) of a termination cap must
be a minimum of 1’ (305 mm) below the termination cap.
The venting system must conform to local codes and/or
the current National Fuel Code ANSI Z3.1/NFPA 54.
Only venting components manufactured by MHSC may
be used in Direct Vent systems and UL 1777 Listed Type
Flex Venting.
The venting system must be installed in accordance with
the current CSA-B149.1 installation code.
Before joining the flex vent pipe to the unit, apply a bead
of high temperature sealant* (provided) to the 4” pipe
exiting the fireplace. Secure flex vent pipe in place with
a hose clamp (provided).
*Be sure the flex pipe overlaps at least 1” (5 mm) onto
the collars of the fireplace and termination. If the termi-
nation has an internal bead, be sure to overlap and se-
cure 1” (5 mm) past the bead.
* Be sure the vent is actually crushed before proceeding.
Apply a tug to be sure the vent will not slip off the collars.
Repeat process with 7” flex vent pipe. The same proce-
dure must be performed on the vent side.

When using twist lock pipe it is not necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas of the
venting system that need to be sealed with high temperature silicone sealant are the sliding joints
of any telescopic vent section used in the system.
To join twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads of the male end with the grooves of the fe-
male end, twisting the pipe until the flange on the female end contacts external flange on the male
end. It is recommended that you secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws, however, this
is not mandatory with twist lock pipe. Figure 14
To make it easier to assembly the joints, we suggest putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the
male end of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.

The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the
following vent installation instructions to determine the re-
lationship between the vertical and horizontal dimensions
of the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this di-
mension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, Figure 15, locate
the point intersecting with the slanted graph line.
. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line
to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the fire-
place in accordance with same.
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 11’ (3.4
m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not
exceed 14’ (4.3 m).
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7’ (.1
m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not
exceed 6’ (1.8 m).

used in these applications (Refer to ‘Venting Compo-
nents’ listed for different installation requirements).
• The maximum horizontal distance between the rear of
the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a cor-
ner application) and the outside face of the rear wall is
0” (508 mm). Figure 17
• Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipe and combus-
tible materials are as follows:

Guide the venting through the vent hole as you place the
appliance in its installed position. Guide the 4” (10 mm)
and 7” (178 mm) collar of the vent termination into the
outer ends of the venting. Do not force the termination. If
the vent pipes do not align with the termination, remove
and realign the venting at the appliance flue collars. Fig-
ure 19. Attach the termination to the wall as outlined in the
instruction sheet supplied with the termination.

For all top vent installations where a 90° elbow is
the first pipe piece towards a sidewall termination (up and
out), an open-center ringed flue restrictor, part #69D3006
must be installed onto the top edge of the firebox flue
adapter. To create this open-center restrictor, twist and
break off the center rib of the supplied flue restrictor. The
installed part should appear similar to that show n in Fig-
ure 22.
The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between verti-
cal and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine
the various dimensions allowable.
When vent termination exits through foundations less
than 0” (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe
must flush up with the siding.
It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that mini-
mizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent
pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace (or the top of the
Transition Elbow) to the face of the outer wall.
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this por-
tion of the vent assembly.

According to the vent graph (Page 14) the
maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 7Z\x’
(.3 m) rise is 0’ (6 m) and if a 90° elbow is required in
the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17’ (5. m).
In Figures 26 & 27, dimension A plus B must not be great-
er than 17’ (5. m)
• The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per in-
stallation is six (6). These elbows can be installed in
either the vertical or horizontal run.
• For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the
length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18”
(457 mm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows are
installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system is
70°. Figure 27

Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to
first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole lo-
cation. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or
noncombustible, cut opening to size. Figure 28 (For com-
bustible walls first frame in opening.)
When using flex vent, the opening will have to be
measured according to the 1/” (13 mm) rise in 1” (305

Guide the vent terminations 4” and 7” collard into their
respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes
overlap the collars by ” (51 mm). Secure the termina-
tion to the wall with screws provided and caulk around
the wall plate to weatherproof. As an alternative to screw-
ing the termination directly to the wall, you may also use
expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction ad-
hesive. You may also attach the termination with screws
through the inner body into the 4” vent pipe, however for
this method, you must extend the 4” pipe approximately
6” (15 mm) beyond the outer face of the wall.
The 40” (1016 mm) flex vent is used for 90° off the
top of the unit then out the back wall.
Follow Step 1 and on Page 19.
Install the four (4) spacer springs on the 4” flex vent pipe.
When installing the spacer springs around the 4” pipe,
stretch the spring to approximately 15” (381 mm), wrap
the spring around the pipe and interlock the ends of the
spacer spring approximately ” (51 mm). Measure 6C\v”
(17 mm) from the end of the pipe. Place the next spring
5” (17 mm) from the previously installed spring. Place
the next spring 6” (15 mm) from the last spring. Finally
place the last spring 1” (305 mm) from the last spring
installed. Figure 31
Install the 4” (10 mm) flex vent pipe to the appliance col-
lar as described on Page 14. Secure the end with the first
spring 6C\v” (17 mm) from the flex pipe end to the unit.
Slide the 7” (178 mm) flex vent pipe over the 4” flex vent
pipe and secure the 7” collar as described on Page 13.
Bend the flex pipe horizontal so the bottom of the horizon-
tal pipe measure 6Z\x” (165 mm) from the top of the unit
immediately after the 90° formation. Figure 32. Be sure to
follow the 1/” (13 mm) rise in a 1” (305 mm) horizontal
run rule.
