  • Page 13: Norkel Erminations

    For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building, 14-inch and 36-inch tall snorkel terminations are available. When using a snorkel, the stove can be vented directly out the back. There is a vent starter collar fastened to the stove (to vent straight out the back), remove the four screws securing the collar, rotate the collar 180 degrees and refasten using the same four screws. Make sure the gasket between the collar and the stove is properly positioned before refastening the collar. After rotating the collar, it will be positioned horizontally. When this pipe passes through a wall, a wall thimble - Simpson part number 942or Security™ part number SV4RSM is required. The hole in the wall for the wall thimble should be 9-1/4” wide by 10-1/4” high. To vent out the rear wall, add up to a 12” section of pipe and then the snorkel. When the stove is located in a corner of the room, to vent horizontally first add a 45 degree elbow, then up to a 12” section of pipe and lastly the snorkel. Installations using a snorkel have no restrictor installed in the pipe (see pages 14 and 15 for restrictor positioning).
  • Page 14: F Lue R Estrictors

    This stove uses balanced flue technology to ensure proper combustion. As such, flue restrictors may need to be in- stalled depending on the vent configuration of your stove. The drawings on page 15 show all the allowable pipe con- figurations for the Vintage™ gas stove. To properly install the flue restrictor, first find your pipe configuration in the drawings on page 15 and note which restrictor setting is recommended. The flue restrictor is shipped in the firebox of your stove. To install the restrictor, lift up and remove the cast iron grille at the inside top of the firebox. Above the grille is the flue opening (see Figure 24). Remove the two 5/32” allen head screws (see A in Figures 24 & 25). Install the restrictor by putting the screws A into the holes 1, 2, 3, or 4 corresponding to the restrictor position numbers found on the drawings for your pipe configuration. Then reinstall the screws in their original holes in the top of the firebox. Lastly, reinstall the cast iron grille in the top of the firebox. Restrictor positions are based on tests run in a laboratory. The optimum restrictor positions may need to be adjusted slightly depending on the conditions surrounding the residential installation. Do not adjust (close) restrictors to a point where the stove is sooting. Restrictor Figure  Figure 4 Figure 5 NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
  • Page 15: H Orizontal T Erminations

    The shaded areas in the diagram below show all allow- able combinations of vent configurations with horizontal terminations. Horizontal sections of pipe require 1/4” of rise for every 12” of run. A second 90 degree or 45 degree elbow (in addition to the first 90 degree elbow at the top of the vertical length of pipe) is allowed as long as the overall length of the horizontal run of pipe does not exceed those shown below. Use the restrictor positions indicated. Note that if the termination cap falls in the unshaded area below then no restrictor is installed in the stove. 0 Feet 15 Feet 10 Feet 5 Feet 0 Feet Figure  To install the stove with pipe directly out the back, a snorkel is not required for the Vintage™ gas stove.

    “On-Off” Switch, Thermostat Or Remote Control Your stove comes equipped with an “On/Off” rocker switch used to turn the burner on and off while the pilot light is on. The switch is a round rocker switch located behind the main control panel door. A millivolt wall thermostat, or a remote control, can be used to supplement the rocker switch. The gas valve is powered by millivolts generated by the pilot assembly. This millivolt system is very sensitive to electrical resistance, therefore, make sure all connections are tight, clean, and free from corrosion. Do not splice any millivolt wires. Consult the table below to determine the proper gage of wire for the thermostat or wall switch connections. This table refers to the total length of the wire (out to the switch and back). The thermostat must be a millivolt type. A 24-volt furnace thermostat will not work. Never hook up household current - 120 Volts - to the millivolt system. It is not recommended to hook up any more than two switches to the stove (for example a rocker switch and a wall thermostat). Additional...

    The doors on the stove may be opened to provide an unob- structed view of the fire or to provide greater access to the firebox. To open the doors, when the stove is cool, simply pull on the right door and it will swing open. The left door can then also be swung open. Caution: Do not open the glass door when the stove is burning. Let the unit cool before opening the door. Lift off the stove top to access the glass door. At the top of the glass door are two spring-loaded “I” (looped) bolts. Pull each loop forward and up, releasing the top of the glass door. To remove the door, grasp it firmly with both hands and lift it up. The glass door is fragile so it is important to place it in a secure spot until reinstalled. To reinstall the door, the bottom of the door must be inserted in the slot at the bottom of the firebox. The loops on the spring loaded “I” bolts must be pulled forward and down into the receiving bracket on the door to apply pressure against the door.
  • Page 24 Converting the stove between natural gas and LP can be ac- complished by either changing the cassette (valve and pilot assembly) or installing a conversion kit (regulator, burner orifice, and pilot orifice). Only a qualified service technician should perform the conversion. Cassette Removal: 1. Be sure the gas supply is shut off and if the stove has an optional blower installed the electrical supply is shut off at the electrical panel before beginning the conversion. Disconnect the gas supply from the stove, being careful not to apply pressure to the valve in the process. 2. Remove the log set (see Baffle, Log Set, & Ember Instal- lation). 3. Remove the allen head screw (A in Figure 38) at the left end of the burner. Lift out the air control panel. 4. Pull the burner from the orifice and remove the wire linkage connected to the burner air shutter. 5. Remove the labeled cover through which the valve control knobs protrude by removing the two allen head screws securing it and slide it off the valve knobs. 6. Mark and disconnect wires on valve terminals #1 and #3 connected to the burner on/off switch, thermostat, or remote control.
