OnDemandPilot(SevenDaySafetyTimer)
Importantinformation
This appliance is a millivolt standing pilot system tted with the on demand pilot, a safety feature that in the event of seven days of inactivity shuts down
the gas valve completely by extinguishing the pilot light.
Each time the main burner shuts down the seven day timer starts again. While on standing pilot, the control valve is managed manually while the seven-
day inactivity timer is controlled by a circuit board. When the pilot light is extinguished after seven consecutive days of inactivity, the control knob will
remain in the "ON" position. The pilot cannot be relit until the pilot control knob is manually returned to the "OFF" position, restarting the ignition process.
If the unit never goes as long as seven days without a call for heat, the pilot will remain lit until it is manually shut-o. See the instructions in this manual
and on the appliance's lighting instructions plate to light or re-light the pilot.

as per diagram 1, only if safe to do so. Steel stud may also be placed in front of the masonry brick if left in place. This is the preferred method depending
on the condition of the masonry brick replace.
The opening between the front of the masonry rebox and non-combustible materials such as steel studs must be sealed so heat cannot run between the
face of the wood replace and the refacing materials. Only nishing materials such as tile, stone, brick, or similar materials that are non-combustible may
be used. Use materials that are uniform so that when the unit is positioned, there are no visible gaps on the sides or top of the surround.

LevelingLegsAdjustment
NOTE
• The leveling of the appliance must be done prior to hooking up
gas line and vent system.
1. The leveling bolts can be installed with bolts from above or below
(preferred method) to level the appliance. If choosing to go above,
follow steps below. If choosing to go from below, see step 5. From
the back of the unit, remove the six screws, then lift the fan mount
plate out.
2. Screw the 2 2-1/2'' (64 mm) bolts supplied inside manual package to
the 2 nutserts located at the rear corners of appliance. Using a 7/16”
wrench or socket, tighten or loosen the bolts as needed. The rear
bolts can be adjusted up to 2-1/8”.
3. Reinstall the fan mount plate.
4. The front leveling bolts can be accessed from the front of the insert, on
the bottom left and right sides. Once it is in position, adjust the bolts to
ensure the appliance is level and won’t rock.
5. From below: The bolts can be ipped around and installed from the bot-
tom of the insert for extended length. Once it is in position, adjust the
bolts to ensure the appliance is level and won’t rock.

THEAPPLIANCEMUSTNOTBECONNECTEDTOA
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL
BURNINGAPPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to two 3" (76 mm) co-linear aluminium
ex running the full length of the chimney. The ue length must be a
minimum of 8' (2.44 m) and a maximum of 35' (10.7 m) long. See the
chart below for minimum distances from the roof. Periodically check that
the vent is unrestricted.
Masonry chimneys may take various contours which the exible liner will
accommodate. However, keeptheexiblelinerasstraightaspossible
(avoid unnecessary bending).
Attach both the exhaust and intake ue liners to both the termination cap
& ue collar at the appliance with a minimum of three self-tapping screws.
Use Mil-Pac sealant to seal the pipes.
The air intake pipe must be attached to the inlet air collar of the termination
cap.
1. If the appliance is installed into an existing chimney system, thoroughly
clean the masonry or factory-built replace.
2. The appliance has an opening on the left side of the control compartment.
A 3/8" NPT gas supply pipe must be brought near the opening.
3. Locate the centerpoint where the vent will pass through the chimney,
above the appliance. Move the appliance to the installation location.
Ensure that the insert is level.
4. Do not cut any sheetmetal parts of the replace into which the gas
insert will be installed.
5. If the factory-built replace has no gas access hole(s), drill one of 1-1/2"
(37-1/2 mm) or less though the lower sides or bottom of the rebox.
The access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after
the gas supply line is installed.

NOTES
When attaching the two 3 inch (51-76 mm) liners to the termination
cap and prior to sliding them down the chimney, it is good practice
to mark the liners "exhaust" & "air intake". This prevents mixing up
the liners at the ue collar connection of the appliance. If facing the
appliance from the front, the air intake is located on the left and the
exhaust ue on the right.
