INTERRUPTlON
OF
GAS
SUPPLY; If ever there is
a break in the flow of gas through the supply
system to the appliance (For example, for repair
work inthe supplysystemeither inside or outside
your property), we recommend that the window
unit Isremovedbefore lightingthe pilot. This will
allow any air which has become trapped in the
supply piping to escape without building up in
the firebox beforethe pilotwill light. Wait untilthe
pilot flame is stable before refitting the window
but refit
it
before turning the control to any
position other than pilot ignition. Details of how
to removethewindow are giveninthe preparation
for installationsectionofthis manual.
The vent terminal on the outside wall must be
kept
free
from obstructions. The terminal is hot
duringoperation and requiresa guard (Part
#235)
if
it
is accessible to any person. No objects
should be placedwithin
2
feet (60cm) of the vent
terminal.
During extreme weather conditions ensure that
the vent outlet is
free
from ice and snow before
attemptingto light.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician toinspectthe applianceandto replace
any part of the control system and any gas
controlwhich has been underwater.
NOTE
When operatingyour newstove forthe first time, some vapors may be releasedwhich may cause a slight odor andcould
possibly set off any smoke detectionalarms in the immediatevicinity. These vapors are quite normal on new appliances.
They aretotallyharmless
and
will disappearafter afew hours use.

This direct vent appliance is designed to operate
when an undisturbed air flow hits the outside vent
terminal from any direction. The minimum
clearances from this terrninal which must
be
maintainedare shown in figure
3.
Any reduction in
these clearances could resutt in a disruption of the
air flow or a safety hazard. Local codes or
regulations
may
requiregreaterclearances.
4.8
The terminal, when installed with the vent shield
tube and wall plates, is suitable for mounting on
wood or vinyl siding without requiring additional
shielding. The vent shieldtube supplie is suitable for
wall thicknesses up to
24%.
A custom made shield
shouldbemadeforthicker walls.

4.9
The slots inthe vent terminal must not be recessed
intoa wall or siding.
4.10
The vent terminal should be positioned where

Wamlng:
If the outside vent terminal is located
where
it
will
be
accessible to any person, a guard
must
be
fied wer the terminal to prevent damage
andtoprevent it beingtouched.
The vent terminal becomes very hot when the
appliance is in use and can cause bums. A special
guard designed for this appliance is available from

Important:
This appliance is supplied with
a
vent unit requiring the
center of the vent hole to be
47'/eg
abovethe bottom of the
appliance. This height must not be reduced by cuttingthe
vertical portion of the elbow duct. Before cutting the vent
openinginthe wall, make sure that the installeddistance to
the bottom of the appliance is known. Once the vent
opening in the wall is cut it will not be possible to alter the
position of the appliance without re-cutting the wall. For
vent openings higher than
475/80
up to a maximum of
120!4', one or two optional vent extension kits #905VEK
must be used

Route the gas supply line to the appliance inlet
connectionpoint (seefigure
2).
Note: Pressure testing the line for leaks may need to
be performed before the line
is
connected to the
appliance
-
see section
12.
Gas
connectionto the appliance is 318"NPT.
Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper
tubing
if
acceptable
-
check local codes.
Note that in
USA
copper tubing must be internally tinned for
protection against suRur compounds.
Unions ingas linesshould'be
of
groundjoint type.
The gas supply line must be sized and installed to
provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the
maximum demand of the appliance without undue
loss of pressure.
Sealants used must be resistant to the action of all
gas constituents including LP gas. Sealants should
be applied lightly to male threads to ensure excess
sealant does notenter gas lines.
The supply line should include a manual shut-off
valve to allow the appliance to be disconnected for
servicing.
A
plugged 1/8mNPTtapping must be installed in the
line. The tapping must be accessible for test gauge
connectionand be immediately upstream of the gas
supplyconnectiontothe appliance.

Failure to either disconnect or isolate the
appliance during pressure testing may result in

inthis case.

The appliance is preset to give the correct input with
natural gas. For input adjustment, the gas supply
pressure to the appliance inlet must be a minimum
of 5"w.c. The maximum inlet gas supply pressure is
10.5"w.c.

range is shown in the table in section 2 of this
manual. The manifold pressure should be checked
at the pressure test point which is located on the
thermostat unit (see figure
17).
The pressure check
should be made with the appliance burning. the gas

The appliance is fitted with a pressure relief system. Its
is to allow the safe release of pressure in the
unlikely event of a build up of gas in the fire box before
ignitiontakes place.
Relief is achieved by the gas pressure pushing open the
two spring loaded plates under the fire box below the front
bumer. This allows some gas to escape safely. The plates
will then returnto their closed position (seefigure
18).

The applianceis supplied with the front air hole open
3/16"
(5mm) and the top and rear holes closed (see figure
19).
For the majority of installationsthis setting will be correct
andthe shutter should be in this position at this stage. In a
very few instances performance may be improved by
adjusting the aeration. This will not be able to be properly
determined, however, until the appliance is operated with
the logs and window installed. See later on in this manual
for adjustment details.

AS
described in section
14,
the rear burner has adjustable
aeration. For the great majority of installations, no
adjustment will be necessary. However, in a few instances
performance may be improved by adjusting the aeration.
Aeration isadjustedby slidingthe shutter to the left or right.
Evaluate the aeration only after the unit has warmed up
(approximately
15
minutes).
