Installation & Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or
cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace
heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor
the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least ten
(10) hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been
installed, place fan in the "OFF" position during this time.
Locating Your Gas Fireplace Insert
with Zero Clearance Kit
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, wood-
burning or oil fired appliances, and the products of
combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to

When the unit is installed into a woodburning fireplace,
the minimum distance the mantel can be placed above
the fireplace is governed by local building codes appli-
cable to woodburning fireplaces. Consult local authori-
ties having jurisdiction for these clearances.
For applications requiring the use of a Zero Clearance
Kit, the minimum height a mantel can be installed above
the fireplace is 24" (610 mm) from the top of the upper
louvres. The maximum mantel depth is 8" (203 mm).
(Fig. 2)
The underside of the mantel will become
warm. Use only finishes which are heat
resistant and do not discolor.

Framing & Finishing
For Zero Clearance Kit applications, it is important to
determine the finished facing material before beginning
to frame. This will allow for the thickness of the finishing
material between the frame and the fireplace trim.
Similarly, consideration must be given to the 1" inch
depth of the air inlet channel sitting on the fireplace
base. Finishing material for the hearth should be flush
with the top of the air inlet channel.
If the fireplace is installed at floor level a noncombus-
tible hearth must extend a minimum 12" (305 mm) in
front of the fireplace.
If the fireplace is recessed into the wall and at least 12"
(305 mm) above floor level, no hearth is required.
The use of wallpaper adjacent to this fire-
place is not recommended as high tem-
peratures given off by this fireplace may
adversely effect the binders in the adhe-
sive used to apply the wallpaper.
NOTE: Insulating around the fireplace will result in
overheating and possible malfunctioning of the circulat-
ing fan.
Zero Clearance Applications
An alternate air supply is recommended
with this component.
For installation other than in existing wood-
burning fireplaces such as new construction or renova-
tion projects, a Zero Clearance Kit must be used. The
kit enables these inserts to be installed in combustible
environments. Whenever using a Zero Clearance Kit,
consideration must be given to the dimensions of the
Zero Clearance Kit and the requirements of the Air Kit.
NOTE: If a Zero Clearance Kit is required for mod-
els LHECDV20/LHERDV20/LHECDV30/LHERDV30
Direct Vent Inserts, only the CFM Corporation zero
clearance kit HEZC combined with the HEDVCAK is
approved to be used. Refer to Page 9, figure 10 for
HEDVCAK chimney adapter kit installation. When
using the HEZC with insert models LHECDV20 or
LHERDV20, the Trim Closure Kit, LHE20TCK, must
also be installed.

Preparation
Before beginning, remove glass door and logs from
unit. Also check to make sure there is no hidden
damage to the unit. Take a minute and plan out the
gas,venting and electrical route. It is best to start with
the gas line first followed by the chimney liner. (Refer to
Page 9)
Gas Line Installation
When purging the gas line, the front glass
must be removed.
If gas piping from the source to the heater
location has not been accomplished, install the required
pipe. Consult local plumbing code to assure proper pipe
size.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear or
the base of the heater.
NOTE: The gas line connection can be made of either
properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 1/2" rigid pipe or
an approved flex connector then reduced to 3/8" to the
heater. Some municipalities have additional local codes,
it is always best to consult your local authority and the
CSA- B149.1 installation code.
U.S. Installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an
open flame for leak testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw
type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to
provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector, use only
approved fittings. Always provide a union when
using black iron pipe so the gas line can be easily
disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See gas
specifications for pressure details and ratings. NOTE:
If flex connector is used, it must be kept inside of the
heater.
These gas inserts are approved for installation
in solid fuel burning masonry or zero clearance
fireplaces.
High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to
4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the
current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes
having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).

Liner Installation
The collar extending down from the termination base
is the air intake connector. Be sure the flex vent, which
is connected to this collar, is also connected to the
labelled air intake flue collar on the fireplace. Make sure
the flex vent is attached on the correct collar and cap
for exhaust as well.
Slide the insulation provided in the termination kit over
the two (2) 3" flex liners, (to be attached to the 3" flue
collar and cap of the termination). Feed one 3" flex
vent from the bottom of the termination up through the
4" sleeve. Apply hi-temp sealant on the rain cap col-
lar and slide the flex vent over the end of the rain cap
collar fastening with the clamp provided. Slide the flex
liner back down the 4" sleeve until 4" cap slides over
the sleeve. Attach cap to the sleeve with four (4) screws
supplied. Apply hi-temp sealant over the air intake
collar and attach intake flex vent in the same method.
Feed the two flex liners down the chimney through the
damper opening. Tighten termination to the chimney
using the screws provided. (Fig. 10) NOTE: For Round
Vent Terminations - tighten termination to the chimney
by pushing the four (4) straps of the vent termination
against the chimney and secure with four (4) screws
provided. (Fig. 12)
In case the fireplace opening is only minimum height
21" (533 mm) and access from the front is not possible,
follow the instructions below.
1. Remove flue collar plate assembly. Unbolt the top
fastener plate and move it to the back first before
sliding the flue collar plate out from the top of the
unit. (Fig. 13)
2. Apply a bead of hi-temp sealant on the end of the
collar before attaching the liner to the flue collar.
Fasten it with two clamps then adjust fastener plate
all the way to the back before sliding flue gas plate
back onto the unit. (Figs. 14 and 15)
3. After the flue collar plate is set on the cabinet top,
make sure the front edge of the flue collar plate is
completely in contact with the back edge of the cabi-
net top. (Fig. 16)
4. Put the machine screw back into the fastener plate.
Bolt the plate until it is locked. (Fig. 17)
Under no circumstances should insulation
be put between the damper and the top of
the unit. This may cause condensation and
overheating of the unit.

Louvre Removal
To remove
louvre, lift louvre
up and then pull
out.
(Fig. 20)
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically.
During start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on
the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other
airborne particles cling to the glass surface. Also initial
paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is
therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two
or three times with a non-ammonia household cleaner
and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass
cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned two or
three times during each heating season depending on
the circumstances present.
Clean glass after first two weeks of opera-
tion.

First Firing
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting unit
with pilot light, it will take a few minutes to purge them-
selves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the
pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the
instruction manual. Subsequent lightings of the heater
will not require such purging.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight
odor for awhile. This is due to paint and lubricants used
in the manufacturing process. After each lighting, vapor
may condense and fog the glass; this moisture disap-
pears within a few minutes of burning.
It is important to periodically perform a visual check of
the pilot and the burner flames. Compare them to the
Figure 26 and Figure 27 or 28. If any of the flames ap-
pear abnormal call a service person.

to REMOTE. Press the fan or flame button on the
transmitter within 30 seconds. The LED will blink
indicating the transmitter will now work with the re-
ceiver/valve. If the switch continues in the REMOTE
position, the transmitter will now control the main
valve, flame modulation level and fan control.
7. If the manual switch is in the LOCAL position, the
valve will be at the highest fixed pressure setting.
The transmitter will control the fan only.
Shut Off Procedure
If the manual switch is in the REMOTE position, the
transmitter can shut off the main burner and fan. How-
ever, the control is still on and a command from the
transmitter can turn on the main burner or fan.
To shut off the system, turn the pilotstat knob clockwise
to the OFF position. This action closes the main gas
and safety valves. The transmitter cannot turn on the
main burner or fan.

Troubleshooting
1. Locate LED light on valve.
2. LED will blink after every valid command received by
the transmitter; this is not an error.
3. Failure codes may occur anytime after pilot burner is
lit.
4. Sequence is failure code followed by light not blink-
ing for 30 seconds.
5. In the event of multiple failure codes, next failure
code follows previous failure code by approximately
3 seconds.
If an Error Code 3 is observed while performing the
testing, complete the following:
1. Make sure the spade connectors are pushed all the
way on. If the Error Code 3 is still showing, then go
to the next step.
2. Switch the front two thermopile leads with the back
two. Be sure the white lead is connected to the
spade with the white dot next to it. If the Error Code
3 is still showing, replace the thermopiles.
If an Error Code 8 is observed while performing the
testing, complete the following:
1. Confirm the valve is not in REMOTE mode.
• If the valve is producing Error Code 8 and in RE-
MOTE mode, the valve is defective and should be
replaced.
• If the valve is in LOCAL mode and producing Er-
ror Code 8, then go to the next step.
