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.
2. 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 gal. 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 neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

tured Home Construction and Safety Standard, or when such a standard
is not applicable, the , or
.
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.

There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also
important to note the wall thickness.
Select the amount of vertical rise desired. All horizontal run of venting must have 1/4" rise for every 12"
of run towards the termination.
You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent configuration. Refer to Horizontal Termination Configu-
rations on Pages 22 and 23.
Measure the distance from the fireplace floor to the ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in
an attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the roof line.
You may use two 45° elbows in place of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when
using 45° elbows. The appliance is approved for use with three 90° elbows maximum or a combination
of 90° and 45° elbows up to a maximum of 270°.
For two-story applications, firestops are required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic,
additional pipe and elbows will be required.
You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house. Refer to
Installing Vent System in a Chase below. If pipe is enclosed in chase, it is not exposed.
It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and
the flue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent configurations and must be strictly followed.
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building.
A chase is required for such venting.

When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be vented directly to a termination located on
the rear wall behind the appliance
• The maximum horizontal distance between the rear of the appliance and the outside face of the
rear wall is 20" (508 m). Figure 16
• Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
1. Locate and cut the vent opening in the wall. For
combustible walls first frame in opening.
Cut a 11Z\x"H x 9Z\x" W (292 x
241 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as
shown. Figure 17
Hole opening should be 7Z\x"
(190 mm) in diameter.
2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have special twist-lock
connections. Assemble the desired combination of
pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor with pipe
seams oriented towards the wall or floor.
Twist-lock Procedure: The female ends of the pipes
and fittings have three locking lugs (indentations).
These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on
the male end of adjacent pipes and fittings. Push the
pipe sections together and twist one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn until the sections are
fully locked. Figure 18
3. Attach vent pipe assembly to the fireplace. Set fire-
place in front of its permanent location to insure mini-
mum clearances. Mark the wall for a 11Z\x"H x 9Z\x"W
(292 x 241 mm) rectangle hole (for noncombustible
material such as masonry block or concrete, a 7Z\x"
[190 mm] diameter hole is acceptable). Figure 17.
The center of the hole should line up with the center
line of the horizontal rigid vent pipe end. Be sure to
allow for minimum rise. Cut a 11Z\x"x9Z\x" rectangle hole
through combustible exterior wall (7Z\x" diameter hole
if noncombustible). Frame as necessary. Allow 1/4"
minimum rise per foot. Figure 17

4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the outside
edge of vent cap. Position the vent cap in the center of
hole on the exterior wall with the word “UP” on the vent cap
facing up. Insure proper clearance of 1" to combustibles
is maintained. Attach the vent cap with four wood screws
supplied. Figure 19
Replace the wood screws with appropriate fasteners
for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of siding.
For vinyl siding, stucco, or wood exterior use vinyl siding
standoffs between vent cap and exterior wall. The vinyl siding
standoff prevents excessive heat from melting the vinyl siding
material. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Apply non-harden-
ing mastic around outside edge of the standoff instead of the
vent cap assembly. Use wood screws provided to attach the
standoff. Figure 20
5. Slide fire stop over the vent pipe before connecting hori-
zontal run to vent cap. Figure 21
6. Insert vent pipe into the horizontal termination. The pipe
overlap should be a minimum of 1Z\v". Fasten all vent con-
nections with screws provided.
7. Slide fire stop against the interior wall surface and
attach with screws. Figure 21

The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal
side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable.
Figure 22
When vent termination exits through foundations less than 20" below siding
outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the siding.
It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes 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 he Transition Elbow) to the
face of the outer wall.
• The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall instal-
lation is three (3). Figure 23
• If a 90° elbow is fitted directly on top of the fireplace flange
the maximum horizontal vent run before the termination
or a vertical rise is 36” (914 mm). Figure 24

• If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run, the horizontal
vent length is reduced by 36" (914 mm). Figure 25. This does
not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a
vertical rise. Figure 25
According to the vent graph, Figure 22, the maximum
horizontal vent length in a system with a 7.5' vertical rise is 20’
(6 m) and if a 90° elbow is required in the horizontal vent it must
be reduced to 17' (5.2 m). Refer to Page 17 “How to Use Vent
Graph.”
In Figures 26 and 27, Dimension A plus B must not be greater
than 17' (5.2 m).
• The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per side wall
installation is two (2). 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" (45 cm). 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 270°.
