WARNING
• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory not approved for use with this
appliance.
• This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately 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.
• Do not operate the appliance with the glass door removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass
should be done by a licensed or qualified service person, if equipped.
• Do not strike or slam shut the appliance glass door, if equipped.
• Only doors / optional fronts certified with the appliance are to be installed on the appliance.
• Keep the packaging material out of reach of children and dispose of the material in a safe manner. As
with all plastic bags, these are not toys and should be kept away from children and infants.
• Carbon or soot should not occur in a vent free appliance as it can distribute into the living area of your
home. If you notice any signs of carbon or soot, immediately turn off your appliance and arrange to have
it serviced by a qualified technician before operating it again.
• If equipped, the screen must be in place (closed) when the appliance is in operation.
• When equipped with pressure relief doors, they must be kept closed while the appliance is operating
to prevent exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide, from entering into the home. Temperatures of
the exhaust escaping through these openings can also cause the surrounding combustible materials to
overheat and catch fire.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death; early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the appliance may not be working
properly. Get fresh air at once! Have appliance serviced. Some people; pregnant women, persons with
heart or lung disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, those at high altitudes are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others. Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean
may result in sooting and property damage.
• As with any combustion appliance, we recommend having your appliance regularly inspected and
serviced as well as having a Carbon Monoxide Detector installed in the same area to defend you and
your family against Carbon Monoxide (not applicable for outdoor appliances).
• Ensure clearances to combustibles are maintained when building a mantel or shelves above the
appliance. Elevated temperatures on the wall or in the air above the appliance can cause melting,
discolouration or damage to decorations, a T.V. or other electronic components.
• For appliances equipped with a safety barrier; if the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier
shall be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this appliance.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. It is imperative that control
compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• For outdoor products only: this appliance must not be installed indoors or within any structure that
prevents or inhibits the exhaust gases from dissipating in the outside atmosphere.
• If applicable, the millivolt version of this appliance uses and requires a fast acting thermocouple. Replace
only with a fast acting thermocouple supplied by Wolf Steel Ltd.

THIS GAS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local
codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important to know the specifics that apply to your area, for
example in the state of Massachusetts:
• This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
• The appliance damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of an appliance insert or gas
log.
• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches (0.9m).
• A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fired appliances.
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed
combustion product.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in absence of local
codes, the National Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1
in Canada, or the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54
in the United States. Suitable for mobile home installation if installed
in accordance with the current standard CAN/CSA Z240MH Series,
for gas equipped mobile homes, in Canada or ANSI Z223.1 and
NFPA 54 in the United States.
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 (35 mb).
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 (35 mb). When installed
with a blower or fan, the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI / NFPA 70 National
Electric Code in the United States. In the case where the blower is equipped with a power cord, it must be connected into a
properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.
The following does not apply to inserts; as long as the required clearance to combustibles is maintained, the most desirable
and beneficial location for an appliance is in the center of a building, thereby allowing the most efficient use of the heat
created. The location of windows, doors and, the traffic flow in the room where the appliance is to be located should be
considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or
roof joist. If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the
appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth, unless otherwise tested.

!
WARNING
• Risk of fire. Maintain specified air space clearances to vent pipe and appliance.
• The vent system must be supported every 3’(0.9m) for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use support ring assembly W010-
0067 or equivalent non-combustible strapping to maintain the minimum clearance to combustibles for both vertical and
horizontal runs. Spacers are attached to the inner pipe at predetermined intervals to maintain an even air gap to the outer
pipe. This gap is required for safe operation. A spacer is required at the start, middle, and end of each elbow to ensure this
gap is maintained. These spaces must not be removed.
This appliance uses a 4” (102mm) exhaust / 7” (178mm) air intake vent pipe system. Refer to the section applicable
to your installation.
For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly. Deviation from the minimum vertical
vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition. Although not a requirement, it is recommended for vent lengths that pass through
unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize
condensation. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the appliance after the appliance is installed. Use a
firestop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
The vent terminal may be painted with a high temperature paint to match exterior colours. Use an outdoor paint suitable for
400°F (200°C). Application and performance of paint is the consumer’s responsibility. Spot testing is recommended.
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust flue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a red high
temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant may be used on both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joints of all
other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the appliance flue collar which must be sealed
using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac. High temperature sealant must be ordered separately.
For optimum flame appearance and appliance performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times. Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify that
it is unobstructed and undamaged.
Rigid and flexible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting manufacturer components must not
be combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable horizontal run is 20
feet (6.1m). The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet (12.2m). The maximum number of vent connections is two
horizontally or three vertically (excluding the appliance and the air terminal connections) when using flexible venting.
Horizontal runs may have a 0” rise per foot or 0mm rise per meter however for optimum performance it is recommended
that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot or 21mm rise per meter using flexible venting. For safe and proper
operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two single family dwellings
and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼” (31.8mm) air gap
all around between the inner liner and outer liner is required for safe operation.

For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < VT
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 feet (12.2m)
Example:
V1 = 9 FT (2.7m)
V2 = 6 FT (1.8m)
VT = V1 + V2 = 9FT (2.7m) + 6FT (1.8m) = 15FT (4.6m)
H1 = 3 FT (0.9m)
H2 = 2 FT (0.6m)
H3 = 1.5 FT (0.5m)
HR = H1 + H2 + H3 = 3FT (0.9m) + 2FT (0.6m) + 1.5FT (0.5m) = 6.5FT (2m)
HO = .03 (four 90° elbows - 90°) = .03 (360° - 90°) = 8.1 FT (2.5m)
HT = HR + HO = 6.5FT (2m) + 8.1FT (2.5m) = 14.6FT (4.5m)
HT + VT = 14.6FT (4.5m) + 15FT (4.6m) = 29.6 FT (9m)
Formula 1: HT < VT
14.6 FT (4.5m) < 15 FT (4.6m)
Formula 2: HT + VT < 40 FT (12.2m)
29.6 FT (9m) < 40 FT (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.

For vent configurations requiring more than two 90° elbows, the following formulas apply:
Formula 1: HT < 3.5VT
Formula 2: HT + VT < 24.75 feet (7.5m)
Example:
V1 = 4 FT (1.2m)
V2 = 1.5 FT (0.5m)
VT = V1 + V2 = 4FT (1.2m) + 1.5FT (0.5m) = 5.5 FT (1.7m)
H1 = 2 FT (0.6m)
H2 = 1 FT (0.3m)
H3 = 1 FT (0.3m)
H4 = 1.5 FT (0.5m)
HR = H1+ H2+H3+H4= 2FT(0.6m) + 1FT(0.3m) + 1FT(0.3m) + 1.5FT(0.5m) = 5.5 FT(1.7m)
HO = .03 (four 90° elbows + one 45° elbow - 90°)
= .03 (90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 45 - 90) = 9.45 FT (2.9m)
HT = HR + HO = 5.5FT (1.7m) + 9.45FT (2.9m) = 14.95FT (4.6m)
HT + VT = 14.95FT (4.6m) + 5.5FT (1.7m) = 20.45FT (6.2m)
Formula 1: HT < 3.5VT
3.5VT = 3.5FT (1.1m) x 5.5FT (1.7m) = 19.25FT (5.9m)
14.95 FT (4.6m) < 19.25 FT (5.9m)
Formula 2: HT + VT < 24.75 FT (7.5m)
20.45 FT (6.2m) < 24.75 FT (7.5m)

Example:
V1 = 1.5 FT (0.5m)

HT =HR + HO = 12.75FT (3.9m) + 6.75FT (2.1m) = 19.5 FT (5.9m)
HT + VT = 19.5FT (5.9m) + 6.5FT (2m) = 26 FT (7.9m)
Formula 1:
HT < 3 VT
3 VT =3FT (0.9m) x 6.5FT (2m) = 19.5FT (5.9m)
19.5FT (5.9m) = 19.5FT (5.9m)
Formula 2:

26 FT (7.9m) < 40 FT (12.2m)
Since both formulas are met, this vent configuration is acceptable.

WARNING
• Ensure to unpack all loose materials from inside the firebox prior to connecting the gas and electrical supply
• If your appliance is supplied with a remote, ensure the remote receiver is in the “OFF” position prior
to connecting the gas and electrical supply to the appliance.
• For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.
• The appliance exhaust flue collar must be sealed using Mill Pac. All exhaust and intake vent pipe joints
must be sealed using red RTV high temp silicone sealant (W573-0002) (not supplied) or black high temp Mill
Pac (W573-0007) (not supplied).
• If using pipe clamps to connect rigid vent components, a minimum of 3 screws must also be used to ensure
the connection cannot slip off.
• Do not clamp the flexible vent pipe.
• Risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation. Improper support of the entire venting system may allow vent to sag
and separate. Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per installation instructions.
• Risk of fire, do not allow loose materials or insulation to touch the vent pipe. Remove insulation to allow for the
installation of the attic shield and to maintain clearances to combustibles.
• Do not fill the space between the vent pipe and enclosure with any type of material. Do not pack insulation
or combustibles between ceiling firestops. Always maintain specified clearances around venting and firestop
systems. Install wall shields and firestops as specified. Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from
vent pipe may cause fire.

For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions
exactly.
The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet (0.9m) for
both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel Ltd. support ring assembly
or equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum clearance to
combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs.
All inner flex pipe and outer flex pipe joints may be sealed using high temperature
red RTV silicone W573-0002 (not supplied) or the high temperature sealant W573-
0007 Mill Pac (not supplied). However, the high temperature sealant W573-0007
Mill Pac (not supplied) must be used on the joint connecting the inner flex pipe and
the exhaust flue collar.
Use only approved flexible vent pipe kits marked:
“Wolf Steel Approved Venting” or “E2” as identified by the stamp only on the flex pipes.
Elbow
Spacers
• Do not allow the inner flex pipe to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight.
• Spacers are attached to the inner flex pipe at predetermined intervals to maintain an even air gap to the outer
flex pipe. This gap is required for safe operation. A spacer is required at the start, middle, and end of each
elbow to ensure this gap is maintained. These spacers must not be removed.
!
WARNING
A. Install the inner flex pipe to the appliance. Secure with a minimum of
three screws when installing 3”/5”, 4”/7” or 5”/8” venting, or six screws
when installing 8”/10” or 8”/11” venting. Seal the joint and screw holes
using Mill Pac sealant (W573-0007) (not supplied).
B. Install the outer flex pipe to the appliance. Secure with a minimum of
three screws when installing 3”/5”, 4”/7” or 5”/”8 venting, or six screws
when installing 8”/10” or 8”/11” venting. Seal the joints using high
temperature red RTV silicone (W573-0002) (not supplied).
