GENERAL INFORMATION
These Installation Instructions must be used in conjunction
with the appliance and appropriate PVA adapter kit Installation
Instructions. Clearances listed in these Instructions supersede
those in the appliance's Installation Instructions.
Power venting of direct vent appliances may result in the
reduction of efficiencies by as much as ten percent. Consider
this in making any venting and heating decisions in any
installation application.
SELECTING AND INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE
When selecting a gas appliance for use with the GPV, take into
consideration the various requirements and limitations in the
venting installation section for the following models:
Models Equipped with an Intermittent Pilot Ignition (I.P.I.)
It is recommended that the GPV be used with a gas appliance
equipped with an Intermittent Pilot Ignition (I.P.I.). Downward
vertical vent runs are permitted with an I.P.I. system. See
venting section in appropriate PVA Installation Instructions.
Models Equipped with Millivolt/ Standing Pilot
Downward vertical vent runs are not permitted with a standing
pilot system. See venting section in appropriate PVA Installation
Instructions.
INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER
to conform with local codes. In absence of local codes install
to the current National Building Code in Canada or to regional
building codes in the United States. It must be electrically
connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In
the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1

1.4.3 INITIAL FIRING PROCEDURES
!
WARNING
ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RUN OUT
WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPENED OR REMOVED. PURGE SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALI-
FIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. ASSURE THAT A CONTINUOUS GAS FLOW IS AT THE BURNER BE-
FORE CLOSING THE DOOR. ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
In some instances the system may not light pilot/burner with the door open/removed. Partially blocking the
exhaust flue collar will allow the safety pressure switch to activate and allow gas flow to the pilot during the
initial test firing.
