If the optional air-circulating fan is installed, it must be grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.

CAUTIONS
Due to its high operating temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic & away from furniture and draperies.

• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the high surface temperature, which could cause burns or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.
• Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed on or near the appliance.

Installation

Installing The Fireplace Shell
The fireplace may be installed in any location that is free of air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as efficiency of operation, must be considered when selecting the fireplace location. Try to select a location  that does not interfere with room traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible pathway for Direct Vent installation. Refer to page 4 – Vent Installation for more information.
The fireplace dimensions are shown below:

Figure 1. Fireplace dimensions.

Clearances
These clearances apply to all dimensions except the framed opening, where the clearance to combustibles is 0″. The C42-DV clearances to combustible materials are:

• Clearance from the top of the fireplace to a combustible ceiling within the fireplace enclosure.
  ** Refer to page 10.
  Unprotected combustible walls which are perpendicular to the fireplace opening, must not project beyond the shaded area shown in Figure 19b.
  For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that outer walls of the chase be insulated with a vapour barrier. This will reduce the possibility of a cold-air convection current on the fireplace.

Framing

When installing a shelf over the top of the fireplace, the following guidelines must be adhered to: For Rear Vent models (C42-DR), the minimum clearance from the top of the fireplace to a shelf is 8″. For Top Vent models (C42-DT), the  minimum clearance is 15″. (Minimum 1″ clearance must still be maintained around the vent pipes.)

WARNING:
When this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or any combustible material other than wood flooring, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.

Installing The Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before finishing the C42-DV Fireplace.
Natural Gas requires a minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 5.5″ W.C. & a manifold pressure of 3.5″ W.C. Propane Gas requires a minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 11″ W.C. & a manifold pressure of 10″ W.C. Provision must also be made for a 1/8″ N.P.T. plugged tapping and be accessible for test gauge connection immediately upstream of the gas supply controls to the appliance. The fireplace gas connection and the main operating gas valve is located behind the  removable brass trim at the bottom of the unit and need only be attached to the gas line with an approved fitting, as required by the applicable installation codes.

The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance 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).

Note: After gas line is connected, each appliance connection, valve and valve train must be checked while under normal operating pressure with either a liquid solution, or leak detection device, to locate any source of leak. Tighten any  areas where bubbling appears or leak is detected until bubbling stops completely or leak is no longer detected.
DO NOT use a flame of any kind to test for leaks.
Installing The Remote Switch
The C42-DV’s gas valve, located behind the lower brass trim, may be connected to a wall switch. The valve generates its own power on a millivolt circuit. Use only low voltage wire, and DO NOT connect any external power to it.
Refer to Figure 26 for wiring requirements.
Note: The switch location must not exceed 30′ from the fireplace.

Vent Installation
This section covers the installation of direct venting and terminations.
Installation Requirements

• C42-DV fireplaces are certified for use with Montigo Premium Series (5″ / 8″) venting components. The C42-DV Top Vent may be used with Standard Series (4″/7″) components on vertical vent runs only.
• Minimum 1″ clearance to combustibles required for vent pipes
• Use only certified Montigo vent components. (Use of other parts will void the Montigo warranty, and may impede the operation of the fireplace.)
• All joints must be secured with a minimum of two screws per joint
• Vent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding
• Horizontal runs must be supported by a minimum of two supports per horizontal run. A minimum of one screw on each side of support is also required
• Flex vent sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length (eg. a 24″ section may be stretched to 36″)
• Maximum horizontal run for a flex section with no vertical rise is 3 feet.
• Flex vent sections over 3 feet must fall within the limits set by the venting graph and must have a minimum vertical rise of 3 inches per foot of flex.
• Solid vent sections may be cut less than half way from the tapered end

Vent Terminations
Selecting A Termination Location
Choosing your vent termination location will help to determine whether you need to use a top vent or rear vent fireplace. Figure 6, below, shows typical fireplace locations and the venting options they provide.
For a more detailed diagram of allowed termination locations, see Appendix A.

Cautions:

• Vent terminations can be very hot. If the termination is less than 7 feet above a public walkway, it should be fitted with a certified Montigo Heat Guard. (Part no. PTKOG)

• Do not obstruct, or attempt to conceal, the vent termination.
  These actions will affect the operation of the fireplace, and may be hazardous.

• In heavy snow areas, take extra care to prevent snow buildup from obstructing the vent termination.

Installing Terminations with Built-In Frames

1. Frame the termination opening to 11″ x 11″.
2. Fasten the termination to the studs using a minimum of 4 screws.

Installing Terminations with MSR Frames

1. Frame the termination opening to 12″ x 12″.
2. Fasten the termination to the studs using a minimum of 4 screws.

Installing Terminations with MOSR Frames

1. Frame the termination opening to 12″ x 12″.
2. Fasten the MOSR frame to the interior side of the studs using a minimum of 4 screws.
3. Insert the termination into the MOSR frame as shown here, and attach by screwing through the four pilot holes in the termination.

Installing Heat Guards over Terminations

1. Ensure that the two long mounting brackets are facing the bottom of the termination. (See inset). This will provide more heat protection at the top of the termination, where temperatures are highest.
2. Attach to the faceplate of the termination using four sheet metal screws.

Top Vent Venting Runs
For the C42-DV Top Vent, there are two types of installations: A)
Through-The-Wall Installations and B) Vertical (Through-The-Roof)
Installations.
A) Through-The-Wall Installations
Before you install any venting, you must determine whether the venting run will be acceptable. Unacceptable venting can affect the fireplace’s combustion.
The Venting Graph
Measure the vertical height from the fireplace hearth to the centre of the termination and the horizontal run from the from the fireplace flue collar to the wall flange of the termination. Plot on the Venting Graph (Fig. 7) with an ‘X’.
If the ‘X’ falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the installation is acceptable.
Example A: (Acceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 84″ and the horizontal run to the wall flange of the vent termination is 36″, this would be an acceptable installation.
Example B: (Acceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 90″ and the horizontal run to the wall flange of the vent termination is 120″, this would be an acceptable installation.
Example C: (Unacceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace is 72″ and the horizontal run to the wall flange of the vent termination is 84″, this would NOT be an acceptable installation. 

Heat Shields
Due to high flue temperatures, heat shield are required on all C42-DV installations (except those with vertical terminations) at the point where the venting connects to the termination.
With the heat shield, vent clearances can be maintained at 1″.

Figure 8. Heat Shield. Install by sliding over the vent pipe where it passes through combustible construction.

Available Top Vent Components
The following venting components are available for the C42-DV Top Vent:

BSR (brick can)
C – Flex sections| PFL-1 (12″ section)
PFL-2 (24″ section)
PFL-3 (36″ section)
PFL-4 (48″ section)
D – Rigid sections| PEXT-1 (12″ m/f section) PEXT-2 (24″ m/f section) PEXT-3 (36″ m/f section) PEXT-4 (48″ m/f section) PEXT-6 (72″ m/f section)
E – Elbows| PEL-90MM (m/m 90° elbow) PEL-9OFF (f/f 90° elbow) PEL-90FM (f/m 90° elbow)

NOTES:
All dimension lengths for vertical or horizontal runs are measured from center of the vent pipe.
Venting runs must fall within the limits set by the venting graph (see Figure 7).

Figure 9a. Typical Top Vent installation. If the 90° elbow is installed directly on the fireplace, the height to the center of the termination is 43½”.

Horizontal Venting

Figure 9b. Typical Top Vent installation. The solid sections can be used in various combinations to obtain the desired vent run. The vent run must fall within the limits set by the venting graph.
Example 2:
Rigid sections and an elbow used in conjunction with 3 ft. flex section (PFL-3) will, when extended in a five foot chase, allow for a maximum horizontal run of twelve and one-half feet from the centre of the fireplace to outside wall and a  minimum of 7’6″ when retracted in opposite direction (see Figure 10 and 11).
“C” flex sections and “D” rigid sections may be used in conjunction with one another to obtain different possible horizontal length installations.
NOTE: Flex section with no vertical rise must not exceed maximum horizontal length of 3  feet (see Figure 12). Flex runs over 3 feet must fall within the limits set by the venting graph, and must have a minimum vertical rise of 3″ per foot of flex.

Figure 10. Extended Installation using a combination of solid and flex venting. Use the vent graph to determine your allowable run, then select appropriate components.

Figure 11. Retracted Installation using a combination of solid and flex venting. Use the vent graph to determine your allowable run, then select appropriate components.

Figure 12. Horizontal flex installation with no vertical rise.

B. Vertical (Through-The-Roof) Installations 5/8″ with option for 4/7″

• Vertical rise >12′ can be reduced

• Vertical Terminations must be installed:
  • minimum 2′ (two feet) above the highest point where vent passes through the roof.
  • minimum 6′ (six feet) from a mechanical air inlet
  • minimum 3′ (three feet) from a parapet wall.

• Maximum vent height is 35 feet above fireplace.
  Note: Flame characteristics will change if the maximum vent height is used.

• Minimum clearances 1″ from vent to all combustible materials must be maintained.

Figure 13.a Straight, vertical venting using required adaptor.

Figure 13b. Reducing Vertical Vent from 5/8″ to 4/7″.

• A maximum of two offsets with 90° bends may be made and shall not exceed total length of 25% of the vertical vent height, when measured center to center of piping.
  Example: Typical vent installation.
  20′ vertical vent
  2 – 2′ offsets required
  25% of 20′ = 5′ max. offset allowed
  This venting configuration meets requirements.

Figure 14a. Vertical venting with 1 offset.
Vent Restrictors
When venting vertically, Vent Restrictors may be added to enhance the burn characteristics of the fireplace. Figure 14b. Vertical venting with 2 offsets.

Rear Vent Venting Runs
The C42-DV Rear Vent has three possible installations which do not require vertical lift:

1. Straight Installation.
   The height from the hearth to the center of the termination is 31 ½”. C42-DV Rear Vent versions are supplied with a 20″ extension pipe (PXT-20) with female/female connections. For shorter installations, cut the PXT-20 to the desired length.
   For extended installations, use the PXT-20 section as supplied for a 20″ vent run.
   Note: For Rear Vent models, maximum horizontal run with no vertical lift must never exceed 20″.
   

2. 45° Corner Installation.
   Attach an PEL-45 (45° elbow) directly onto the flue collar. Cut the PXT-20 to suit, and attach it to the PEL-45. Slide the fireplace into position and attach to the termination.
   

3. Corner Installation — 45° or less.
   Use an PTO-3 termination and an PFL-1 or PFL-2 (12″ or 24″ compressed length) and a frame, if appropriate. Flex may be turned to obtain desired degree of angle required but must not exceed 45°.
   

Heat Shields
Due to high flue temperatures, heat shields are required on all C42-DV installations (except those with vertical terminations) at the point where the venting connects to the termination. With the heat shield, vent clearances can be  maintained at 1″. *Heat Shields are included. See Figure 8.

B. Multi-Elbow Installations
For more diffiicult installation situations, the C42-DV Rear Vent may be installed with two — 90° elbows and up to 15′ of horizontal run. If using this installation option, you must adhere to the following guidelines:

• the first 90° elbow must be placed directly on the flue collar
• you must have a minimum vertical lift of 50″ (measured from the hearth)
• your vent run must fall within the limits set by Figure 18a Before you install any venting, you must determine whether the venting run will be acceptable. Unacceptable venting can affect the fireplace’s combustion.

The Venting Graph
Measure the vertical height from the fireplace hearth to the centre of the termination and the horizontal run from the from the fireplace flue collar to the wall flange of the termination. Plot on the Venting Graph (Fig. 18a) with an ‘X’.
If the ‘X’ falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the installation is acceptable.
Example A: (Acceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 84″ and the horizontal run to the wall flange of the vent termination is 36″, this would be an acceptable installation.
Example B: (Acceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 90″ and the horizontal run to the wall flange of the vent termination is 126″, this would be an acceptable installation.
Example C: (Unacceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace is 78″ and the horizontal run to the wall flange of the vent termination is 108″, this would NOT be an acceptable installation.

Installation Of Rear Vent DV

E – 90 degree elbow| PEL-90FF (f/f 90° elbow)
PEL-90FM (f/m 90° elbow)
PEL-45FM (f/m 45° elbow)

NOTES:
All dimension lengths for vertical or horizontal runs are measured from center of the vent pipe.
Venting runs must fall within the limits set by the venting graph (see Figure 18a).

Figure 18b. Multi-elbow installation. Distance ‘H’ must be a minumum of 50″. The vent run must comply with figure 18a.

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 19a. Side wall clearances are 3″. Combustible surrounds may  be installed with 3″ clearance to the side of the fireplace as shown in Figure 19b. Fireplace Facing
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to remember the following: BRASS TRIMS MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY – to do so restricts the air supply for the control compartments and heat  exchanger it also prevents access for servicing controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor, provided you use a heat-resistant paint. 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.![Montigo Fireplaces C42-DV Gas Fireplace

Figure 19a. Combustible mantles and facings.
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.
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.

Figure 19b. Combustible surrounds.

Wiring for the optional Fan Kit
All C42-DV fireplaces may be equipped with optional fan kits (Part no. RFK1001, RFK1003, RFK1006 or RFK1007)for circulating heat into the living space.
Installations in Canada which employ the fans must be electrically grounded in accordance with CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical
Code Part 1 and/or Local Codes.
Installations in the USA which employ the fans must be grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 701987.
For more information see the Fan Kit Installation Guide included with the fan kit.
NOTE:
If any of the original wire supplied with the appliance is replaced, it must be replaced with the same type, or its equivalent.

Removing and Installing the Door
Removing the Door:
Remove the trim (as described on the next page) to access the door latches. Open the latches by pulling Part A upwards and towards you to disengage Part B from the door. Lift Part B clear of the door. Repeat for all three latches. Be sure  to hold the door carefully so it does not fall. (See figure 23a.)

Once the three latches are unhinged, tilt the top of the door forward and lift it out of the slots. See figures 23b and 23c.

Re-installing the door:
To re-install the door, tilt the top edge towards you and line up the tabs of the bottom of the door with the slots on the fireplace. Place the tabs into the slots, and tilt the top of the door back towards the fireplace as far as it will go. Close  the latches by hooking Part B onto the groove at the top of the door and pushing Part A down completely.

Maintenance

CAUTIONS

• Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot and main burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with a vacuum.
• Doors and logs can get very hot. Handle only when cool.

General

• Have the fireplace installation inspected yearly, including a visual check of the vent system, the burner and the pilot flame.
  For your convenience a 1/8″ manifold pressure tap is supplied on the gas valve for a test gauge connection. See Figure 27.

• For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 5.5″ W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5″ W.C.

• For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 11″ W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10″ W.C.

• Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
  Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and is the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.

• Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is a normal biproduct of combustion) which may be visible. Film can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on page 12-13. Handle the door carefully, and  clean it with non-abrasive glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.
• Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will “off gas”, leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber walls. This can easily be removed using normal household products.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
• Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot or other contaminates.

WARNING:
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass etching may cause premature glass failure.

Gas Control Valve

Pilot Burner Adjustment

1. Locate Pilot Adjustment Screw. (See figure 27.)
2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame as shown in figure 28).
3. After installing or servicing, leak test with a soap solution with main burner on. Coat pipe and tubing joints, gasket etc. with soap solution. Bubbles indicate leaks. Tighten any areas where the bubbles appear until the bubbling stops completely.

Troubleshooting
The following is a troubleshooting chart of possible problems:
