variations. As the appliance warms, this condensation will disappear.
Blue flames| This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance| When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from finishing materials and adhesives used near the appliance. These circumstances may require additional curing related to the installation environment.
Film on the glass| This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Metallic noise| Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the appliance.
Is it normal to see the pilot flame burn continually?| In an IntelliFire ignition system (IPI), the pilot flame should turn off when appliance is turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot flame to remain lit. In a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.

Installer Guide

Getting Started

A. Typical Appliance System
NOTICE: Illustrations and photos reflect typical installations and are for design purposes only. Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. Actual product may vary from pictures in manual

B. Design and Installation Considerations
Hearth & Home Technologies B-type vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of the building, and combustion air pulled from the room.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
Before installing, determine the following:

• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall switch, or remote control—are desired.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified service technician, service agency or your dealer.
C. Tools and Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure that the following tools and building supplies are available.

screws

D. Inspect Appliance and Components
The following B-vent components are needed for installation.

• Fireplace Box
• Pipe Components

E. Negative Pressure
WARNING! Asphyxiation Risk! Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fireplace needs to draft properly for safety.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of fireplace and chimney

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the fireplace to operate properly. Causes for this imbalance include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air to furnace or air conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks (recessed lighting, attic hatch opening, duct leaks)

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the following must be considered:

• Install the fresh air kit. Install the intake on the side of the house towards prevailing winds during the heating season.
• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion appliances and exhaust equipment.
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace.
• Avoid installing the fireplace near doors, walkways or small isolated spaces.
• Recessed lighting should be of “sealed can” design; attic hatches weather stripped or sealed; and attic mounted ductwork and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed.
• Basement installations should be avoided due to stack effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the use of direct vent fireplaces in basements.

Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 4.2, the chimney should:

• Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die-down of the fire.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the effects of wind turbulence.
• Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.

Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized. Consider the fireplace location relative to floor and ceiling and attic joists.

Framing and Clearances

A. Selecting Appliance Location
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important to consider the required clearances to walls (see Figure 5.1).
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate clearance around air openings and for service access. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
NOTICE: Illustrations reflect typical installations and are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. Actual installation may vary due to individual design preference.

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates the vent should enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling firestops and wall shield firestops and construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore, you MUST check local building codes to determine the requirements to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building  envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be sheet rocked and taped for maximum air tightness. To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling firestops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement slab, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.
C. Clearances
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specified air space clearances to appliance and vent pipe:

• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent accidental contact.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown insulation or other combustibles from entering and making contact with fireplace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and a fire.

D. Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl Flooring is sensitive to heat. A 14 inch minimum depth hearth extension is recommended when using vinyl flooring up to the wall. See Figure 5.2.
NOTICE: Clearances that do not meet the minimum guidelines could result in damage or buckling to the vinyl flooring and is done at the installer’s risk.
Hearth and Home Technologies does not recommend adhesive based vinyl flooring due to thermal expansion. Floating-style flooring can be used, but will reach temperatures up to 110°F in a room with ambient temperature of 70°F. Consult flooring specifications to ensure compatibility.
