Fireplace Safety
WARNING: Extremely Hot!
Heat and flammability
• Some parts of the fireplace are extremely hot, particu-
larly the glass window. Use the barrier screen provided
or a gate to reduce the risk of severe burns.
• The glass windows can exceed 500°F at full capacity.
• Always keep the appliance clear and free from combus-
tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
• Be aware of hot wall surfaces! The wall directly above
the fireplace can get very hot when the fireplace heats.
Although safe, it may reach temperatures in excess of
200ºF (93°C) depending on choice of optional accesso-
ries. Do not touch!
• Be aware of hot hearth/floor surfaces! Any projections
directly around the fireplace can get very hot when the
fireplace heats. Although safe, they may reach temper-
atures in excess of 200ºF (93°C) depending on elevation
of hearth. Be careful of touching these! Temperature
of projection surfaces will be reduced when barrier
screens are installed.
• Some materials or items, although safe, may discolor,
shrink, warp, crack, peel, and so on because of the heat
produced by the fireplace. Avoid placing candles, paint-
ings, photos and other combustible objects sensitive
to heat or furniture within 36 inches (0.9m) around the
fireplace.
• Solid wood flooring in front of the fireplace (if allowed)
may shrink during the heating season due to heat.
• Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for servic-
ing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating
the appliance
• Due to its high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic areas and away from furniture and
draperies.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperature and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,
young children, and others may be susceptible to
accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recom-
mended if there are at-risk individuals in the house. To
restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an adjust-
able safety gate to keep toddlers, young children, and
other at-risk individuals out of the room and away from
hot surfaces.
• A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from the
hot viewing glass is provided with this appliance and
shall be installed for the protection of children and
other at-risk individuals
• Clothing or flammable material should not be placed on
or near the appliance.

Typical Vent Installation
See the Approved Venting Components list on page 45 of
this manual.
Vent Location
The vent terminal must be located through the roof.
This direct vent appliance is designed to operate when
an undisturbed airflow hits the outside vent terminal
from any direction.

Venting Notes
Where possible, avoid splicing flex pipes. If splices are
required, use a approved connector and seal joints with
RTV high temp sealant.
Four feet horizontal is permissible to allow for routing
around masonry projections. Do not bend flex pipe
over a 45 degrees radius.
1. Co-linear venting may be converted to solid 4” x
6-5/8” co-axial venting at the top of the existing sol-
id-fuel burning chimney as necessary where the ex-
isting chimney has deteriorated and been removed.
The conversion must be done using approved com-
ponents (see page 45) and proper vent clearances
to combustibles must be maintained.
2. Flex liners may only be installed into solid-fuel burn-
ing fireplaces and chimney systems (no combustible
construction).
3. The appliance must not be connected to a chimney
flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

Venting Restrictors
Attaching Air Restrictors
Appliances with more than 10’-0” Vertical
Vent Rise Only
No restrictors are required for appliances which that have
less than 10’-0” vertical run. If installing an appliance which
has less than 10’-0” vertical vent pipe rise, ignore this stage.
Two restrictor sets, like the one shown right, are
supplied with each 530 engine unit. The restrictors
cover part of the inlet air openings in the firebox rear
wall on each side of the brick support. Do NOT install
the restrictors in the roof of the firebox!
Each set is assembled with an adjustable piece which
can be moved to different positions depending of the
vent configuration. See the table below to find out
which position is optimal for each type of installation.
• To fit the restrictors, loosen the two center screws of
the left and right inlet ports. Place the restrictor as-
sembly under the screw heads and tighten the center
screws.
• To set the adjustable restrictor piece, loosen the two
screws, position the adjustable piece according to the
diagram below and tighten the screws.

Preparation Existing Fireplace Preparation
Existing Fireplace Preparation
A few points must be considered before inserting the
530 into an existing fireplace cavity. Generally, no
modifications are allowed to the existing fireplace that
will compromise the integrity of the existing fireplace.
Components that are bolted or screwed on such as
dampers or baffles may be removed to accommodate
the installation of the 530 engine. Cutting away any
sheet metal parts of the existing fireplace to
accommodate the installation of the 530 is prohibited.
Check with local authorities if in doubt.
Clean Fireplace and Chimney
Have the chimney swept and the fireplace cavity
including ash dumps and clean-outs cleaned before
installing the 530 heater and vent liners. Any creosote
or soot residue remaining in the fireplace cavity
chimney or clean-out may cause odors or stains once
the 530 insert is installed. Consult with chimney sweep
for information on how best to clean.
Existing Dampers
Factory-built, zero-clearance fireplaces will require the
damper to be removed in order to install the vent
liners. These dampers are usually bolted into place.
Dampers in masonry fireplaces must be fixed open and
may remain in place.
Ash Retaining Curbs
Some fireplaces (particularly factory-built) have a raised
curb at the front edge to retain ashes. Check the
dimensions carefully to ensure the 530 engine will fit
behind any raised curb (some curbs may be removed
separately from the refractory base).
Gas Line Routing
Plan the routing of the gas line before proceeding.
Utilize the existing hole for the gas line of the factory-
built fireplace.
If the fireplace has no access hole, carefully drill an
access hole of 1.5 inch (38 mm) or less through the
lower sides or bottom of the firebox. The access hole
must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after
the gas supply line has been installed.
See Dimensions section for detailed location of gas
inlet. Also, take into consideration whether or not a fan
or shut-offvalve will interfere when planning routing of
the gas line.
Existing Glass Doors and Wire Screens
Existing glass doors must be permanently removed
prior to installing the 530 insert.
Combustible Mantels
Combustible mantel clearances must conform to those
required for the original solid-fuel fireplace into which
the 530 is being installed.
Attach Warning Conversion Plate to Existing
Fireplace
(plate supplied loose with 530 heater)
Attach the “This fireplace has been converted...” label to

Co-Linear Applications (2 - 3” liners)—Connect Venting
IMPORTANT: This appliance’s venting system is room sealed and therefore,
does not require room air to be used in the combustion process.
1. Rough-in two 3” diameter vent liners into the existing chimney
system from the roof. Be careful not to tear or damage the liners in
the process. It may be easier to install both liners at the same time
rather than one at a time. Leave plenty of liner at the bottom to
facilitate the connection of the liners to the vent slider. It is best to
leave the top termination until later.
Designate and mark the top and bottom of one liner as
“EXHAUST” to avoid confusion later.
2. Release the two screws retaining the vent slider to the
front of the firebox. Remove the slider from the firebox by sliding it
towards the back of the firebox.
3. Fit the two liners ensuring that the exhaust liner is connected to
the identified “EXHAUST” vent collar. Secure liners to collars with
hose clamps (included) and 2 tapping screws per liner.
4. Slide the firebox onto the vent slider in the cavity taking care not
to damage the liners. Make sure that the rear edge of the slider is
hooked over the cleat on the firebox. Secure the vent slider to the
front of the firebox with two screws removed earlier.
5. From the roof, pull the liners and fit the flashing.
6. Fit the terminal cap ensuring that the exhaust liner is connected to
the exhaust vent collar. Secure with 8 screws provided.
7. Seal the terminal and flashing from water penetration as required.

Co-Axial Applications (3” x 5” liners using 590FVK2 and
530CVA2)—Connect Venting
IMPORTANT: This appliance’s venting system is room sealed and therefore,
does not require room air to be used in the combustion process.
1. Stretch 3” and 5” liners from kit 590FVK2 individually to required
length. Insert the 3” liner inside the 5” liner and rough-in vent liners
into the existing chimney system from the roof. Be careful not to
tear or damage the liners in the process. Verify there is plenty of
liner at the bottom to facilitate the connection of the liners to the
vent slider so you will not need to stretch more later.
2. Trim 590FVK2’s Terminal Adapter & Flashing as required to suit top
of chimney and fold a drip edge if desired.
3. Trim ends of liner if necessary and fasten to collars on the under-
side of the 590FVK2’s terminal adapter using sheet metal screws
and gear clamps provided. Ensure liners are well secured and will
not fall down the chimney.
4. Apply a bead of sealant to top of chimney and seat 590FVK2’s flash-
ing onto sealant.
5. Release the two screws retaining the vent slider to the
front of the firebox. Remove the slider from the firebox by sliding it
towards the back of the firebox.
6. Fit the two liners. Secure with hose clamps (included) and 2 tapping
screws per liner (inner liner first, then outer).
7. Slide the firebox onto the vent slider in the cavity taking care not
to damage the liners. Make sure that the rear edge of the slider
is hooked over
the cleat on the
firebox. Secure the
vent slider to the
front of the firebox
with two screws
removed earlier.

Connect Gas Supply
It is preferable to rough-in the gas line at this point
before proceeding with the firebox installation.
The appliance is supplied for supply gas connection at
the control valve. Supply line connection to the control
valve os the appliance is 3/8” NPT female. Take care not
to apply torque to the valve. An isolation valve may be
fitted within the appliance case. Be aware that the
supply pipe should follow routing to clear the remote
receiver or optional fan.
Use only new black iron or steel pipes, CSST, or copper
tubing if acceptable—check local codes. Note that in
USA, copper tubing must be internally tinned for
protection against sulfur compounds.
Union in gas lines should be of ground joint 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.
Sealant used must be resistant to the action of all gas
constituents including propane gas. Sealant should be
applied lightly to male threads to ensure excess sealant
does not enter gas lines.
The supply line should include a manual shut-offvalve
and union to allow the appliance to be disconnected for
servicing.
Pressure test the supply line for leaks.
The appliance and its individual shut-offvalve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
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 (3.5kPa).
Failure to either disconnect or isolate the appliance
during pressure testing may result in regulator or valve
damage. Consult your dealer in this case.
The minimum supply pressure is given on page 6 of this
manual.
All piping and connections must be tested for leaks
after installation or servicing. All leaks must be
corrected immediately.
When testing for leaks:
• Make sure that the appliance is turned off.
• Open the manual shut-offvalve.
• Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap
solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas
leak.
The pressure test tapping locations are shown below. A
built-in non-adjustable regulator controls the burner
manifold pressure. The correct pressure range is shown
page 6 of this manual. The pressure check should be
made with the burner alight and at its highest setting.
See Appendix A – Lighting Instructions Plate on page 35 for
full operating details.
WARNING
NEVER USE OPEN FLAME to check for leaks.
Correct any leak detected immediately.
