THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SER-
VICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local
codes. In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-
B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988, and NFPA 54-1988 in the
United States. Mobile home installation must conform with
local codes or in the absence of local codes, install to the
current standard for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/
CSA Z240 MH Series in Canada or ANSI Z223.1-1988 and
NFPA 54-1988 in the United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove
opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before closing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several min-
utes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
All horizontal runs must have a ¼ inch rise per foot.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
The stove and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pres-
sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/
2 psig (3.5 kPa). The stove must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5
kPa).
A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the stove.
The stove, when installed with a blower, must be electrically
connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In
the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1
CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA
70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United
States. The blower power cord must be connected into a
properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must
not be removed from the cord plug.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS STOVE HAS BEEN TEST-
FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 11 inches water column for pro-
pane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 13 inches water column for pro-
pane. Manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches
water column for natural gas and 10 inches water column
for propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations
above 4,500ft, and in the absense of specific recommenda-
tions from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certi-
fied high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of
4% for each additional 1,000ft.
Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evi-
dent in natural gas than in propane. Expansion / contraction
noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are nor-
mal and to be expected.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff
lightly with a clean dry cloth.
The glass is 3/16" ceramic glass available from your Napo-
