THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
If desired, a thermostat may be installed to regulate the Quadra-Fire DVI-32. It is important to use a thermostat designed for
millivolt operation. Do not connect this appliance to a thermostat serving any other appliance.
Connect the thermostat wires to the outer two screw terminals on the gas control valve, located behind the left side fascia access
panel. Turn off the manual switch located behind the right side fascia access panel.
REMOTE CONTROL
A remote control or a wall switch may be wired to the thermostat terminals. Contact your Quadra-Fire dealer or service person
for details (see page 19 for part number). BLOWER POWER CORD
The blower cord is located at the rear of the stove, and needs to be routed to a three-prong outlet with correct
polarity. Be sure that the stove is electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, with a current version of CSA
C22 (in Canada), or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
The following procedures show some of the basic installation applications. Remember that every installation is
different, and the installer should adjust to insure that the appliance is installed properly.
FRONT BRICK SHUTOFF PLATE ADJUSTMENT
The front brick shuttoff plate controls the secondary air supply to the burner tube. For NG stoves, it should be slid
all the way against the burner tube. For LP stoves, the front brick shutoff plate should be slid all the way to the front
of the stove. GAS CONNECTIONS
Before hooking up the stove to the gas supply, be sure that the appliance you are installing is designed for the type
of gas being supplied to it. There is a serial number and listing label behind the gas supply access door behind the
left side fascia that will indicate which type of gas it is designed to utilize. The gas valve also has a label telling the
type of fuel for which it is set up.
There is a 3/8” gas hookup located behind the left side fascia access panel, at the valve. We recommend connecting
the stove with an approved flex gas line, as shown below. If flex gas lines are not approved in your area, you can
connect a hard pipe to the gas hookup. Be sure to comply with all local codes.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to comply with applicable codes and product warranties, only Simpson Dura-Vent venting
components may be used. DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING COMPONENTS.
The Quadra-Fire DVI-32 is approved to be vertically terminated in a masonry fireplace or a zero clearance fireplace
with Simpson Dura-Vent GS series and flex pipe. Only Simpson Dura-Vent components labeled and listed in this
section may be used. IMPORTANT
Read all these instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow instructions
may create a fire or other safety hazard, and will void the warranty. Be sure to follow these
installation instructions for venting and clearance to combustible requirements, which may vary
from one installation to another.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The Quadra-Fire DVI-32 is an engineered product that has been designed and tested. The warranty will be voided,
and serious fire, health, or other safety hazards may result from any of the following actions: installation of any
damaged venting component, unauthorized modification of the venting system, installation of any component part
not approved byAladdin Hearth Products, or installation other than as instructed by these instructions. Consult your
local building codes before beginning this installation.
WARNING: Always maintain the required clearances (air space) to nearby combustibles to avoid creating a fire
hazard. Do not fill air space with insulation. Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible surfaces is
1”, except where stated otherwise. Use only a Simpson Dura-Vent flex system in masonry fireplaces or metal zero-
clearance fireplaces. Be sure to check the vent termination clearance requirements from decks, windows soffits,
gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways, as specified in these installation instructions and local building
codes.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented vertically to the outside of the building, and never be attached
to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. This direct vent gas appliance must use its
