INSTALLATION
MATERIALS
REQUIRED
No electrical power supply is required for the gas
control to operate. A 120 Volt AC power cord is
hooked up to the fan. Plug the 3 wire cord into
a suitable receptacle. Do not cut the ground
terminal off under any circumstances. When
connected with 120 volts, the appliance must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, current version of the Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1 (in Canada) or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70.
NOTE: This unit is equipped with a heat
sensor thermodisc which will prevent the
blower from operating until the unit reaches
the correct temperature.
VENTING
This appliance is designed to be attached to two
3" (76mm) co-linear aluminium flex running the full
length of the chimney. The flue length must be a
minimum length of 8 ' (2.44m) and a maximum
of 35' (10.7m). See chart above for minimum
distances from roof. Periodically check that the
vent is unrestricted.
Masonry chimneys may take various contours
which the flexible liner will accommodate. However,
keep the flexible liner as straight as possible,
avoid unnecessary bending.

AERATION SYSTEM
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the air
shutter for a blue flame or close for a yellower
flame. The burner aeration is factory set but may
need adjusting due to either the local gas supply
or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
5/16" Natural Gas
7/16" Propane
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air
shutter is closed too much.
Note: Any damage due to carboning resulting
from improperly setting the aeration

INSTALLATION
GAS CONNECTION
1) If the appliance is to be installed into an existing
chimney system, thoroughly clean the masonry
or factory built fireplace.
2) The appliance is provided with an opening on
the left hand side of the control compartment.
A 3/8" NPT gas supply pipe must be brought
near this inlet hole.
3) Locate the center point where the vent will pass
through the chimney above the appliance. Move
the appliance into the exact location where it is
to be installed. Ensure that the Insert is level.
5) Install flashing.
6) Insert both liners into chimney, passing through
the damper opening.
7) Install termination cap.
8) Connect the marked end of the liner to the
exhaust collar of the vent connector plate
marked with an "E", seal connection with high
temperature silicone. Secure with gear clamp.
9) Connect the 2nd liner to the intake collar, seal
connection with high temperature silicone.
Secure with gear clamp.
NOTE:
1) Final gas connection should be made after
unit is in place to avoid damage to line when
pushing the unit into position.
2) Mill-pac may be used instead of high tempture
silicone and screws may be used instead of
gear clamps at connections of liner to inlet and
vent collars.
10) Align vent connector plate with guides on unit.
11) Slide unit into masonry opening, while ensuring
that the slot at the rear of the connector plate
mates up with the hold down plate on the unit.
12) Secure with Screw.

GAS PIPE
PRESSURE TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping
from valve at pressures over 1/2 psig.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked
at the pressure test point.
NOTE: To properly check gas pressure, both
inletandmanifoldpressuresshould be
checkedusingthevalvepressureports
on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s),
turning counterclockwise with a 1/8" wide flat
screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.
4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position.
5) The pressure check should be carried out with
the unit burning and the setting should be within
the limits specified on the safety label.
6) When finished reading manometer, turn off the
gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the
screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" flat screwdriver.
Note: Screw should be snug, but do not
over tighten.
