Gas Code. ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PLEASE NOTE
THE FOLLOWING:
1. This fireplace gives off high temperatures and should be
located out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and
draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the

Installation & Operating Instructions
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
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
and other reproductive harm.
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from from parts before turning the
fireplace ON.
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 manufac-
turing 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 the optional fan
kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF”
position during this time.
WARNING: Check with your electronics manufacturer
before installing a television or other electronic de-
vice above this fireplace.

Mantels
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the
fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This
also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if
fitted) and the fireplace.
For the correct mounting height and widths refer to
Figures 3a and 3b.
The fitting of a bay window trim kit does not effect
the distances and reference points referred to in the
diagram and chart.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel,
such paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to
prevent discoloration.

A hearth is not mandatory but is recommended for
aesthetic purposes. We recommend a noncombustible
hearth which projects out 12” (305mm) or more from
the front of the fireplace.
Cold climate installation recommendation:
When installing this unit against a non-
insulated exterior wall or chase, it is
mandatory that the outer walls be insulated
to conform to applicable insulation codes.
Noncombustible materials such as brick or tile may be
extended over the edges of the face of the appliance.
DO NOT cover any vent or grille panels.
If a Trim Kit is going to be installed on the fireplace, the
brick or tile will have to be installed flush with the edges
of the appliance.

Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to

For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the cur-
rent ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes hav-
ing jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
When purging gas line, the front window
frame must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear
of the fireplace as well as the bottom. Knockouts are
provided on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the
gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection.
It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the
rear right side of the valve as this allows fan installation
or removal without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly
tinned 3/8” copper tubing, 3/8” rigid pipe or an approved
flex connector. Since some municipalities have ad-
ditional local codes, it is always best to con- sult your
local authority and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or the CSA-B149.1 installa-
tion codes.

Installation:
1. Thread the wiring through holes on the end panels
of appliance. Take care not to cut wire or insulation
on metal edges. Route the wire to a conveniently
located receptacle box.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the
switch into the receptacle box.
3. Connect the two (2) wires from wall switch to the
two (2) brown wires from the control module marked
SW1. Be sure to move the Remote/Off switch on the
control module to the OFF position.
NOTE: The wireless remote control does not
work in this configuration.
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 pro-
vide 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 that the gas line can be easily disconnected for
burner or fan servicing . See gas specifications for pres-
sure details and ratings.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test
pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this
or any other gas appliance control from the gas line
when pressure testing.

ard on this model to allow for the easy connection of an
optional fan kit.
To connect the EB-1 box to the house electrical supply
follow the steps below.
1. Unscrew retaining screw from EB-1 base plate (Fig.
8) and remove the EB-1 assembly from the appli-
ance.
2. Remove the front cover of the EB box.
3. Remove the plug socket assembly from the EB-1
box.
4. Feed the supply line in through the EB-1 opening in
the side of the appliance and then through the back
of the EB-1 assembly. (Fig. 7)
5. Connect the black wire of the power supply line to
the brass screw (polarized) of the socket assembly.
6. Connect the white wire of the power line to the
chrome screw of the socket assembly.
7. Connect the ground wire of the supply line to the
green screw of the socket assembly.
8. Refit the socket assembly back into the electrical
box and replace the cover plate. Secure the cable
with the clamp on the outside of the EB-1 base
plate and refit the EB-1 assembly to the unit with the
screw removed in step 1.
