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.

Fireplace Safety
Glass window
• The glass front assembly must be in place and sealed
before the unit can be placed into safe operation.
• The glass front assembly must only be replaced as a
complete unit, as supplied by the fireplace manufac-
turer. No substitute material may be used.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass front assem-
bly. Do not attempt to clean the glass when it is hot.
Venting
• This unit must be used with a vent system as described
in this manual. No other vent system or components
may be used.
• Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all obstacles
and materials for servicing and proper operation.
• This gas fireplace and vent assembly must be vented
directly to the outside and must never be attached to
a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning ap-
pliance. Each gas appliance must use a separate vent
system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
WARNING
Do not operate this appliance with the
glass front removed, cracked, or broken.
Replacement of the glass front should
be performed by a licensed or qualified
service person. Do not strike or slam the
glass front.
Intended use
• This appliance is designed and approved as a supple-
mental heater and provides the potential for most en-
ergy conservation when used while attended. The use
of an alternate primary heat source is advisable.
• This unit is not for use with solid fuel.
• Do not use this heater as a temporary source of heat
during construction.
Installation and Servicing
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional ser-
vice person. More frequent cleaning might be required
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material,
et cetera. It is imperative that control compartments,
burners, and circulating air passageways of the appli-
ance be kept clean.

Gas Fireplace Heaters for use in Canada and USA, and
to CGA 2.17-91 High Altitude Standard in Canada. This
appliance is for direct vent installations.
This appliance complies with CSA P.4.1-15 Testing
method for measuring annual fireplace efficiencies.
The installation must conform to local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.1. Only
qualified licensed or trained personnel should install
this appliance.

accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
Ratings
* Tested to CGA – 2.17–91 Gas fired appliances for use at high
altitudes. In USA, installations may require deration over 2000’—
Check local codes.
*High Altitude Installations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to 4,500
feet (1,370 m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the current
ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
Heating value of gas in some areas is reduced to
compensate for elevation—consult your local gas
utility to confirm.
For installations at elevations above 4,500 feet
(1,370 m) in Canada, please consult provincial and/or
local authorities having jurisdiction.
Supply Gas
Heater engine 530INI uses natural gas.
Heater engine 530IPI uses propane gas.
The supply pressure
must be between the
limits shown in the
Ratings section.
The supply connection
is 3/8” NPT female and
located on the left side
of the control valve. The
opening for the gas
supply line is at the resr
left corner of the appliance.
Gas Conversion Kits
The 530INI/IPI is supplied as natural gas or propane gas
and is field convertible between fuels. See instructions
packaged with the conversion kits for further
information.
Electrical
The 530 does not require an electrical power source
unless fitted with an optional circulating fan or wifi.
However, if the appliance is fitted with a fan, a
grounded power source is required.
Floor/Hearth
This appliance is approved for installation into existing
solid-fuel burning fireplaces only. Combustible material
such as plywood and so on may be used for leveling
and shimming beneath the unit. This appliance does
not require a hearth other than to support the weight
of certain fronts.
Front Trims
Various fronts are available for the 530 insert engine.
This engine must be installed as an insert application.
The front trim style affects the depth of insert cavity
and position of the engine. A front trim kit is required
for all applications and should be on site when the
engine is installed. 536/541/563 fronts require a closure
plate (582/583CPB) to ensure proper position of the
casting front.
Outdoor Conversion Kit
The 530 models are supplied standard for indoor
applications and may be adapted for installation in
specific “outdoor” applications protected from weather
as defined in the GV60CKO outdoor conversion kit
manual.
