Installing The Horizontal &
Vertical Exterior Power Vent
A Power Vent is required where the Termination is located too far
away from the gas fireplace and/or if the vent run is beyond the scope
of this document, or the specifications recommend vent augmenta-
tion. There are four 4/7 Power Vent models available. These Power
Vents are required for Superior venting, safe operation & years of
trouble free operation.
The available Montigo Power Vent models are:
LDVPV47 (Linear, Interior In-line Power Vent, document, XG0700).
EDVPV47 (External Power Vent Module, document, XG0750).
EDVRSPV47 (Exterior Vertical Roof mount 4/7 stainless steel Power
Vent system, document, XG1303)
EDVWSPV47 (Exterior Horizontal Wall mount 4/7 stainless steel Power
Vent system, document, XG1302).

Finishing Around the Fireplace

Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over the
top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not project
beyond shaded area shown in Figure 24. Side wall clearances are 3".
Combustible surrounds may be installed with 3" clearance to the side
of the fireplace as shown in Figure 25.
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to
remember the following:
If the surround of the fireplace is to be painted to match the room decor,
heat-resistant paint must be provided . Also, decorative facing must not
extend past the fireplace opening at all because it will interfere with the
access to retainers for removal of glass door and access to the lower
compartment.

Installation
Mantels & Surrounds
NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements
are for fire hazard prevention to combustible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the
wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of
fireplaces which are hot, fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal
room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
Warning:
When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace with a non-
combustible material Please Note: The decorative facing materials
may be subject to temperatures in excess of 250° F. This should be
considered when selecting facing materials.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated
mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product design, for
example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation,
discoloration or premature failure of T.V. and radio components.
Painting:
Special care is recommended by the Master Painters and Decorators
Association, when painting the fireplace surrounds, to select and apply
a quality Alkyd sealer prior to the applying of latex paints. This is to
prevent leaching of water from evaporation and causing a brownish
staining effect to paint over coats.
