IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the fireplace ON. It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine. It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process. Please ensure that your room is well ventilated open all windows. It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certified without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local authorities having jurisdiction for installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).

Gas Line Installation
When purging the gas lines, the front window frame assembly must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the appliance as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the rear right side of the valve as this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned 3/8″ copper tubing, 3/8″ rigid pipe or an approved flex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z3.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or the CSA-B149.1 installation code.

1/” Gas Supply

1/” NPT x 1/” Flare Shutoff Valve
3/8″ Flex Line (From Valve)

The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding 1/ psi. Isolate or disconnect this and any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.
Remote ON/OFF Switch
Installation
1. Thread the wiring through the holes on the end panels of the fireplace. Take care not to cut the wire or insulation on metal edges. Route the wire to a conveniently located receptacle box.
. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the switch into the receptacle box.
3. Connect the other ends of the wire to the gas control valve. (Fig. 6)

Alternate Switch Location
The remote switch can be installed on the front/side of the access door. Simply mount the switch to the bracket provided and screw the bracket to either side of the frame, lining up the screws with the pre-punched holes. (Fig. 7)

FP97A
Fig. 5 Typical gas supply installation.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8″ test point up stream of the control. When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.

General Information Assembling Vent Pipes

Canadian Installations:
Venting system must be installed in accordance with the current CSA-B149.1 installation code.
USA Installations:
The venting system must conform with local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z3.1/NFPA 54.
Only venting components manufactured by Vermont Castings Group can be used in Direct Vent systems.

• Be sure the vent is actually crushed before proceeding. Apply a tug to be sure the vent will not slip off the collars. Repeat process with 7″ flex vent pipe. The same procedure must be performed on the vent side.
  Apply High Temperature Sealant

Flex Vent Pipes

Before joining the flex vent pipe to the unit, apply a bead of high temperature sealant* (provided) to the 4″ pipe exiting the fireplace. Secure flex vent piep in place with a hose clamp (provided).

*Be sure the flex pipe overlaps at least 1″ (5mm) onto the collars of the fireplace and termination. If the termination has an internal bead, be sure to overlap and secure 1″ (5mm) past the bead.

Hose Clamp FP1471
Fig. 13 Apply high temperature sealant to 4″ and 7″ pipes.

LDVR Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

Twist Lock Pipes
When using Vermont Castings Group twist-lock pipe it is not necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas of the venting system that need to be sealed with high temperature silicone sealant are the sliding joints of any telescopic vent section used in the system.
To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads of the male end with the grooves of the female end, then while bringing the pipe together, twist the pipe until the flange on the female end contacts the external flange on the male end. It is recommended that you secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws, however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe.
To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.

How to Use the Vent Graph
The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the following vent installation instructions to determine the relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 15) locate the point intersecting with slanted graph line.
. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the fireplace in accordance with same.
Example A: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace is 11′ (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 14′ (4.3 m).
Example B: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7′ (.14 m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 8¹/’ (.6 m).

Vertical Sidewall Applications

Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.
The Vent Graph shows the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting and will help to determine the various dimensions allowable.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is 1″(25 mm) on top, bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations less than 0″ below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the siding. It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to the face of the outer wall.
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this portion of the vent assembly.

Below Grade Installations
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 1″ (305 mm) above grade level a snorkel vent kit #7TDVSNORK is required. It allows installation depth of down to 7″ (178 mm) below grade level. The 7″ is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage.
Ensure sidewall venting clearances are observed.
The maximum horizontal run with 24″ vertical rise is 36″ (914 mm) from the back of the fireplace to the face of the exterior wall. See vent graph (Page 14) for extended horizontal run if the vertical rise exceeds 24″ (610 mm).
1. Establish vent hole through the wall. (Fig. 7) . Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16″ (406mm)
below base of snorkel. Install window well (not supplied). Refill hole with 1″ (305 mm) of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approximately 4″ (10 mm) below snorkel. (Fig. 33) 3. Install vent system. See Page 15, Steps through 5. 4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe coming through the wall. 5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied) around the 4″ and 7″ snorkel collars. 6. Slide into the vent pipe and secure to the wall. 7.

Glass Cleaning
It is necessary to periodically clean glass. During startup condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass. This condensation causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to glass surface.
Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non- ammonia based household cleaner and warm water (We recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner) within the first few weeks of operation.
After the initial cleaning process the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each operating season depending on the environment in the house.

Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.
Do not clean glass when hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Do not strike or slam the glass.

Troubleshooting the Gas Control System

SIT NOVA 820 Millivolt Valve
NOTE: Before trouble shooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the “On” position.

WARNING: Before doing any gas control service work, remove glass front.

SYMPTOM 1. Spark ignitor will not light

POSSIBLE CAUSES A. Defective or misaligned
electrode at pilot.

CORRECTIVE ACTION Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and push the red button again. If pilot will not light – check gap at electrode and pilotshould be 1/8″ to have a strong spark.

B. Defective ignitor (Push button)

Push Piezo Ignitor Button. Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If no spark to pilot, and electrode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.

. Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following lighting instructions.

A. Defective pilot generator Check pilot flame. Must impinge on thermo-

(thermocouple), remote wall couple/thermopile. Note: this pilot burner

switch

assembly utilizes both-a thermocouple and a ther-

mopile. The thermocouple operates the main valve

operation (On and Off). Clean and or adjust pilot for

maximum flame impingement on thermopile and

thermocouple.

B. Defective automatic valve

Turn valve knob to “Pilot”. Maintain flow to pilot; milivolt meter should read greater than 10 mV. If the reading is okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace the gas valve. Note: An interrupter block (not supplied) must be used to conduct this test.

3. Pilot burning, no gas to main burner

A. Wall switch or wires defective

Check wall switch and wires for proper connections Jumper wire accross terminals at wall switch, if burner comes on, replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper wires across wall switch wires at valve, if burner comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.

B. Thermopile may not be generating sufficient millivoltage
C. Plugged burner orifice.

1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at gas valve terminals are tight and thermopile is fully inserted into pilot bracket.
. One of the wall switch wires may be grounded. Remove wall switch wires from valve terminals if pilot now stays lit, trace wall switch wiring for ground. May be grounded to fireplace or gas supply.
3. Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read 50-300 millivolts (minimum 150) while holding valve knob depressed in pilot position and wall switch “Off”. Replace faulty thermopile if reading is below specified minimum.
Check burner orifices for debris and remove.

D. Defective automatic valve operator.

Turn valve knob to “On”, place wall switch to “On” millivolt meter should read greater than 100 mV. If the reading is okay and the burner does not come on, replace the gas valve.

4. Frequent pilot outage problem.

A. Pilot flame may be too low Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame or blowing (high) causing the impingement on thermopile and thermocouple. pilot safety to drop out.

B. Possible blockage of the vent terminal.

Check the vent terminal for blockage (recycling the flue gases)

Troubleshooting
American Flame Gas Control System
If erratic system behavior is observed that cannot be resolved by the methods outlined below, ensure that there is not a transmitter with batteries installed that may be interfering. If a transmitter is packed with batteries installed, its buttons may be depressed sending a constant signal which can interfere with the transmission of desired signals. A transmitter with new batteries can have a range of over 100′ (30.4 m). (Page 10, Fig. 10)

Fireplace will not light Pilot will not light/stay lit
Pilot flame is always on/ will not extinguish Main flame will not light

· Ensure the REMOTE/OFF switch on the side of the module (Fig. 50) is set to OFF.

· Make sure the orange and white leads from the module are securely connected to the terminals labeled “PILOT” on the valve body. (Fig. 5)
· Ensure the black GROUND wire is securely connected to an appropriate metal portion of the valve or pilot assembly. A proper ground is essential to spark igniter operation.
· Make certain the pilot flame is in contact with the flame rectification sensor on the pilot assembly. This valve is equipped with a pilot flame adjustment screw. (Fig. 5) If the pilot flame is too small it will not contact the flame rectification sensor and will not complete the safety circuit.
· Check continuity of pilot coil on valve. Remove wire connector. If there is no continuity on pin terminals, replace valve.
· Ensure the CONTINUOUS PILOT switch on the control module (Fig. 50) is set to OFF.
· Verify the gas supply is turned on.
· Ensure the pilot flame will ignite. If not, see pilot flame troubleshooting above.
· Make sure the green and white leads from the module are securely connected to the terminals labeled “MAIN: on the valve body. (Fig. 5)
· Make certain the pilot flame is in contact with the flame rectification sensor on the pilot assembly. This valve is equipped with a pilot flame adjustment screw. (Fig. 5) If the pilot flame is too small it will not contact the flame rectification sensor and will not complete the safety circuit.
· Ensure the pilot flame is properly located to ignite the main flame.
· Check continuity of main burner coil in gas valve. Remove wire connector. If there is no continuity, replace valve.

Maintenance

Burner and Burner Compartment
It is important to keep the burner and the burner compartment clean. At least once per year the logs and lava rock/ember material should be removed and the burner compartment vacuumed and wiped out. Remove and refit the logs as per the instructions in this manual.
Always handle the logs with care as they are fragile and may also be hot if the fireplace has been in use.
FK24/FK12 Fan Assembly
The fan unit requires periodic cleaning. At least once per month in the operating season open the lower louvre panels and wipe or vacuum the area around the fan to remove any build up of dust or lint.
Brass Trim

Most of these components may require only an occasional checkup and cleaning and some may require adjustment. If repair is necessary, it should be performed by a qualified technician.
1. Turn off pilot light at gas valve.
. Allow fireplace to cool if it has been operating.
3. Remove window frame assembly. (Refer to Window Frame Assembly Removal section.)
4. Remove logs.
5. Vacuum burner compartment especially around orifice primary air openings.
6. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or lint accumulation.
7. Reinstall logs.
8. Ignite pilot – Refer to Lighting Instructions.
9. Reinstall window frame assembly.

Clean the brass trim pieces using a soft cloth lightly dampened with lemon oil. Do not use water or household cleaners on any brass components.

To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot and burner’s flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or floating.

Cleaning the Standing Pilot Control System

The burner and control system consist of:

· burner

· gas orifice

· pilot assembly · thermopile

· millivolt gas valve

Typically, the top 3/8″ to 1/” of the thermopile should be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Refer to Page 7, Figure 48)
To adjust pilot burner: (by qualified service technician)
1. Remove pilot adjustment cap . Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. 3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.
The primary air shutter is set at factory and should only be adjusted, if necessary, by a qualified service technician.
