DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
•
Install liner, if required, for your chosen installation.
•
Attach metal warning plate to the back of the fireplace with screws or nails.
•
Set appliance on the hearth (See Hearth Requirements page 5 and Support Kit information on page 16.
•
Complete the vent connection required for your installation type.
•
Relocate plate for Outside Air (Required for Mobile Home Installation). See page 13. Attach Panel Set to insert and
install Trim Set. See page 15.
•
Position unit into fireplace leaving width enough for fiberglass batting to be inserted around face seal.
•
Work unit securely into the fireplace using sheet metal shims if leveling bolts are needed. See Figure 12B on page 12.
•
Remove all labels from glass prior to building first fire.
•
Ensure that plated surfaces are cleaned prior to building first fire. See page 20.
•
Read Operation Instructions found on pages 18 and 19.
IF INSTALLING THIS MODEL TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY, ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHIMNEY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND
THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD 211.
A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY MUST BE 6 INCH (152mm) UL 103 HT AND ULC S629.
THIS APPLIANCE IS MADE WITH A 6 INCH (152mm) DIAMETER CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AS THE FLUE COLLAR ON THE
UNIT. CHANGING THE DIAMETER OF THE CHIMNEY CAN AFFECT DRAFT AND CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE. IT IS NOT
RECOMMENDED TO USE OFFSETS OR ELBOWS AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 4000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL OR WHEN THERE
ARE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT FLUE DRAFT.T SEE PAGE 5.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHILE IN OPERATION AND MAY REMAIN SO UP TO 40 MINUTES AFTER THERE
IS NO FUEL IN THE FIREBOX.
RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PURCHASE A DECORATIVE BARRIOR TO GO IN FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE.
How to determine if alternate floor protection materials are acceptable:
All floor protection must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards, etc.). Any organic materials (i.e., plastics, wood paper
products, etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The floor protection specified includes some form of thermal designation such as R-value
(thermal resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
PROCEDURE:
1. Convert specification to R-value:
R-value given - no conversion needed.
k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
i. Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as "R".
ii. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.
EXAMPLE: The specified floor protector should be 3/4 inch thick material with a k-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4" brick with an r-factor
of 0.2 over 1/8" mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value.
Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system.
Step (c): Compare proposed system R total of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed system R total is greater than required, the system
is acceptable.
