Installation
Installing The Fireplace Shell
The fireplace may be installed in any location that maintains clear-
ances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety,
as well as efficiency 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 20b.
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.
Figure 2a. Framing dimensions.
Clearances
The M40DV-CR/CL clearances to combustible materials are:
Top* 8"
Rear 1½"
Closed Side 1½"
Floor Combustible
Mantle** 6"
Flue Cover 1/2"
* Clearance from the top of the fireplace to
a combustible ceiling within the fireplace
enclosure.

P/N XG0206
M40DV-CR/CL Corner Gas Fireplace
Installing The Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before finishing the M40DV-CR/CL 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 up-
stream of the gas supply controls to the appliance. The fireplace gas
connection and the main operating gas valve are located behind the
removable 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.
• Only use gas shut-o valves approved for use by the state, province,
region, or governing body, in which the appliance is being installed, or
as required by the applicable installation codes.
• Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length, unless it is
allowable within 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 M40DV-CR/CL 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 3. 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 A.
Installation Requirements
The M40DV-CR/CL fireplace uses Premium venting components
with:
5" inner dia. /8" outer dia.
Minimum clearance to combustible construction around the
vent pipe is 1" on all sides, except on horizontal venting where
the top of the pipe must have a clearance of at least 2".
Useonly certiedMontigoventcomponents.(Useofotherparts
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")
Maximum horizontal run for a flex section with no vertical rise is 3
feet.
Flex vent sections over 3 feet must fall within the limits set by the
venting graph and must have a minimum vertical rise of 3 inches
per foot of flex.
Venting components can be used in any combination of solid/rigid
Solid vent sections may be cut less than half way from the tapered
end
Cautions:
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.

Installing Heat Guards over Terminations
1. Ensure that the two long mounting brackets are facing the bot-
tom of the termination. (See inset). This will provide more heat
protection at the top of the termination, where temperatures are
highest.
2. Attach to the faceplate of the termination using four sheet metal
screws.
Installing Terminations with MSR Frames
1. Frame the termination opening to 12" x 12".

Venting Requirements
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
performance.
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. 6) with an 'X'.
If the 'X' falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the
installation is acceptable.
Figure 6. Venting Graph.
Example A: (Acceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 82", and the hori-
zontal run to the wall flange of the vent termination is 156", this
would be an acceptable installation.
Example B: (Acceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 72" and the horizontal
run to the wall flange of the vent termination is 36", this would be
an acceptable installation.
Example C: (Unacceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace is 48" and
the horizontal run to the wall flange of the vent termination is
108", this would NOT be an acceptable installation.

Short Configurations:
For installations straight through the wall, use an PTO-3/-3F termina-
tion and PXT-5 or PXT-10 to achieve the desired length. The maxi-
mum horizontal vent run with no vertical lift is 12". See Figure 7.
Example:
A 10' section of rigid pipe and a 90° elbow may be used in conjunc-
tion with a 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 opposite 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, and for this application the top clearance is to the
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.

Heat Shields
Due to high flue temperatures, the heat shield (RHS101) must be
used on all installations straight through the wall, at the point
where the vent pipe connects to the termination. With the heat shield,
vent clearances can be maintained at 1". The heat shield is not
included with the fireplace.
To install the heat shield, slide one section over the vent pipe on the
inside of the wall opening, with the circular portion inside the wall cav-
ity. Screw the shield in place over the wall opening. Install the second
section on the outside of the wall opening sliding the circular portion
into the wall opening. Refer to Figure 8.

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 20a. Side wall clearances are
0". Combustible surrounds may be installed with 0" clearance to the
side of the fireplace as shown in Figure 20b.
Fireplace Facing
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to
remember the following: LOUVRE TRIMS AND FIREPLACE FRAME
MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY - to do so restricts
theairsupplyforthecontrolcompartmentsandheatexchanger
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. When using a tile
facing, It is required not to tile over the outside frame of the re-
place, as this will obstruct the door removal. See Figure 20c.
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 normal
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.
Painting:
Figure 20a. Combustible mantles and facings.
Figure 20b. Combustible surrounds. Top view.
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.

Maintenance
General
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 25.
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.
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 9. Handle
the door carefully, and clean it with an approved glass cleaner.
One of the most eective 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 below.
Use a vacuum cleaner or soft bristle brush to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Pilot Burner Adjustment
1. Locate Pilot Adjustment Screw. (See gure 25.)
2. Adjust pilot key to provide properly sized flame. (See gure 26).
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.
