Installation
Installing The Fireplace Shell
The fireplace may be installed in any location that is free of air con-
ditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as ef-
ficiency of operation, must be considered when selecting the fireplace
location. Try to select a location that does not interfere with room
traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible pathway for
Direct Vent installation.
The fireplace dimensions are shown below:
Figure 1. Fireplace dimensions.
Framing
Unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the
fireplace opening, must not project beyond the shaded area shown in
Figure 19b.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that
outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This will
reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the fireplace.
End View
WARNING:
When this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or any
combustible material other than wood flooring, it must be installed
on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of
the appliance.

M38DV-PFC Peninsula Gas Fireplace
Installing The Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before finishing the M38DV-PFC fire-
place. Natural Gas requires a minimum inlet gas supply pressure of
5.5" W.C. & a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C. Propane Gas requires a
minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 11" W.C. & a manifold pressure
of 10" W.C. Provision must also be made for a 1/8" N.P.T. plugged
tapping and be accessible for test gauge connection immediately
upstream of the gas supply controls to the appliance. The fireplace
gas connection and the main operating gas valve is located behind
the removable brass trim at the bottom of the unit and need only be
attached to the gas line with an approved fitting, as required by the
applicable installation codes.
* After gas line is connected each appliance connection,
valve and valve train must be checked while under normal
operating pressure with either a liquid solution, or leak detec-
tion device, to locate any source of leak. Tighten any areas
where bubbling appears or leak is detected until bubbling
stops completely or leak is no longer detected. Do NOT use
a ame of any kind to test for leaks.
Installing The Remote Switch
The M38DV-PFC is equipped with a remote-operated valve for use
with a wall switch. See Figure 19 for information on wiring the switch.
The valve is pre-wired and generates its own power. DO NOT con-
nect any external power to it.
Note: The switch location must not exceed 30' from the fireplace.
Figure 5. Gas line access.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Installation
Vent Installation
This section covers the installation of direct venting and terminations.
For a detailed diagram of allowed termination locations, see Appen-
dix B.
Installation Requirements
The M38DV-PFC fireplace uses Premium venting components
with:
5" inner dia. /8" outer dia.
Minimum 2" clearance to combustibles required for vent pipes
Use only certified Montigo vent components. (Use of other parts
will void the Montigo warranty, and may impede the operation of
the fireplace.)
All joints must be secured with a minimum of two screws per joint
Vent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding
Horizontal runs must be supported by a minimum of two supports
per horizontal run. A minimum of one screw on each side of sup-
port is also required
Flex vent sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length
(eg. a 24" section may be stretched to 36")
Solid vent sections may be cut less than half way from the tapered
end
Vent terminations can be very hot. If the termination is less than
7 feet above a public walkway, it should be fitted with a certified
Montigo Heat Guard. (Part no. PTKOG)
Do not obstruct, or attempt to conceal, the vent termination.
These actions will affect the operation of the fireplace, and may
be hazardous.
In heavy snow areas, take extra care to prevent snow buildup
from obstructing the vent termination.
Use Montigo VSS Vinyl Heat Shield when using on
applications with vinyl siding to guard against possible
damage.

Venting Runs
If your installation requires more than 12" of horizontal venting, some
vertical lift is required. Use the vent graph below to determine an
acceptable vent run. Unacceptable venting can affect the fireplace's
combustion.
the maximum horizontal vent run is 16 feet
The Venting Graph
Measure the vertical height from the fireplace hearth to the centre of
the termination and the horizontal run from the from the fireplace flue
collar to the wall flange of the termination. Plot on the Venting Graph
(Fig. 7) with an 'X'.
If the 'X' falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the
installation is acceptable.

PEL-90M/M
Short Configurations:
For installations straight through the wall, use a 2" or 5" termination
(see above chart for Part #), and PXT-5 or PXT-10 to achieve the
desired length. The maximum horizontal vent run with no vertical lift
is 12".
See Figure 8.
Example:
A 10' section and elbow (PIHR-10) used in conjunction with 3 ft. flex
section (PFL-3) will, when extended in a chase, allow for a maximum
horizontal run of twelve and one-half feet from the centre of the
fireplace to outside wall and a minimum of 7'6" when retracted in op-
posite direction. (See Figure 9.)
"D" flex sections and "E" solid sections may be used in conjunction
with one another to obtain different possible horizontal length instal-
lations. NOTE: Flex section must not exceed maximum horizontal
length of 3 feet.
Long Vent Runs:
For longer or more complex vent runs, vertical lift is required. First
ensure that the planned run is acceptable using the Vent Graph. Plan
out the required components using the chart above. You may be able
to use fewer components using the chart below.

Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over the
top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not project
beyond shaded area shown in Figure 13a. Side wall clearances are
0". Combustible surrounds may be installed with 0" clearance to the
side of the fireplace as shown in Figure 13b.
Fireplace Facing
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important
to remember the following: BRASS TRIMS MUST NOT BE OB-
STRUCTED IN ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air supply for
the control compartments and heat exchanger it also prevents
access for servicing controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor,
provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not
extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with
the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
Installation
Mantels & Surrounds
NOTE: Mantel clearances are for fire hazard prevention to combus-
tible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the
wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of
fireplaces which are hot, fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above nor-
mal room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of
elevated mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product
design, for example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause melt-
ing, deformation, discoloration or premature failure of T.V. and radio
components.

Special care is recommended by the Master Painters and Decorators
Association, when painting the fireplace surrounds, to select and ap-
ply a quality Alkyd sealer prior to the applying of latex paints. This is
to prevent leaching of water from evaporation and causing a brownish
staining effect to paint over coats.

Have the fireplace installation inspected yearly, including a visual
check of the vent system, the burner and the pilot flame. For con-
venience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is supplied on the gas valve
for a test gauge connection. See Figure 19.
For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure
of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pres-
sure of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible
materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapours and
liquids.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Imme-
diately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
CAUTION
•Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot
and main burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with
a vacuum.
• Glass and logs can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and
a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and
is the result of burning the protective coatings on new metal.
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (a normal
bi-product of combustion) which may be visible. Film can easily
be removed by removing the door, as shown on page 10. Handle
the door carefully, and clean it with glass cleaners. One of the
most effective products is Kel Kem.
Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas",
leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion
chamber walls. This can easily be removed by following the steps
described above.
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control com-
partment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass etch-
ing may cause premature glass failure.
Pilot Burner Adjustment
1. Locate Pilot Adjustment Screw. (See figure 19.)
2. Adjust pilot key to provide properly sized flame. (See figure 20).
3. After installing or servicing, leak test with a soap solution with
main burner on. Coat pipe and tubing joints, gasket etc. with soap
solution. Bubbles indicate leaks. Tighten any areas where the
bubbles appear until the bubbling stops completely.
