INSTALLATION INSPECTION

1.  Follow safety inspection procedures recommended 

by national, provincial, and/or local codes.

2.  Be certain all electrical connections are properly 

made and secure.

3.  Visually inspect the vent system and determine that 

there is no fl ue gas spillage, blockage or restriction, 
leakage, corrosion or other unsafe defi ciencies.

4. Place the fi replace in operation and determine that 

the burner and power vent are operating properly.  
The main burner should show no signs of fl oating, 
lifting, or fl ashbacks.

WARNING:

  If any unsafe condition is determined 

when inspecting the installation and operation of the 
fi replace and Power Vent, the equipment should be 
shut off. Corrections 

MUST

 be made before the equip-

ment is put into continuous operation.

SETTING THE EXHAUST CONTROL

The PVK-80 has an exhaust control lever which must 
be set and secured during the Installation Inspection.  
The lever is located behind the electrical cable connec-
tor of the cap housing and is factory set in the closed 
position. See Figure 8.

The need to adjust the exhaust control will depend 
upon fi replace combustion box volume, vent run con-
fi guration,  and 

MOST IMPORTANT

 - burner fl ame 

characteristics.

Leave control lever in the closed position when fi rst op-
erating the appliance during the Installation Inspection.  

•  If the burner fl ames are short, active, and jumping 

- remove the lever screw and slightly close the ex-
haust control. Check the burner fl ames and adjust 
the lever again, as necessary, until the fl ames are 
stable, strong, and steady.

•  If the burner fl ames are tall, lifting, fl oating,  and 

ghost-like the exhaust control is closed too far and 

MUST

 be opened.

When the burner fl ames have been optimized, secure 
the exhaust control lever to the Power Vent housing 
with the sheetmetal screw.  

DO NOT CHANGE THIS 

SETTING.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

After installation of the power vent, follow the operation 
instructions of the fi replace.

1. Turn the fi replace ON/OFF switch to "ON".  

NOTE

:  During periods of operation after turning the 

fi replace "ON", there may be a slight delay before the 
fi replace ignites.  This is due to the time necessary for 
the fan to reach operating speed and to remove any 
gases from the combustion chamber.  

2.  After turning the switch to the "ON" position, if the 

fi replace does not turn on, shut the switch to "OFF" 
and inspect the power vent system for any debris 
that may be obstructing the fan blade movement.

3. Turn the fi replace ON/OFF switch to "OFF" to turn 

off the burner and the power vent.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

: Before performing any maintenance or re-

pair to the power vent assembly, make sure electrical 
power is disconnected to the fi replace.

1.  Vent System: Inspect all components and con-

nections annually. Replace, seal, or tighten pipe 
connections if necessary.

2.  Power Vent Cap:  Inspect at least annually, to clear 

away any debris blocking any part of the cap.

3.  Motor: The fan motor bearings are sealed and no 

further lubrication is necessary.
