M36SR
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of the very attrac-
tive Montigo 36SR fireplace. Please read all of the installation
insructions carefully to assure that your new fireplace will give you
all the comfort and enjoyment you expect. The Montigo 36SR is a
vented appliance and must be installed to a vented system. Consult
your local Gas Inspection Branches for specifics.
The Montigo 36SR is rated at 40,000 BTU's.
The Montigo warranty will be voided by, and Montigo disclaims
any responsibility for, the following actions:
-Modification of the fireplace and/or components including
B-vent assembly or glass doors.
-Use of any component part not manufactured or approved by
Montigo in combination with a Montigo fireplace system.
-Installation other than as instructed in this manual.
Consult your local Gas Inspection Branch about the particular
requirements concerning installation of factory-built gas fireplaces.
All work should be done by a qualified contractor, and installation
must conform with the current CAN/CGA B-149 Gas Installation
Code and local regulations.
The fireplace is not intended to be used as a
substitute for a furnace to heat an entire home.
Use for supplemental heating only.
SELECTING YOUR FIREPLACE LOCATION
The fireplace may be installed in any location that is free of air
condition ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as
efficiency of operation, must be considered when installing
a fireplace, select a location that does not interfere with room traffic,
has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible pathway for B-
Vent installation.
The fireplace dimensions are shown below:

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.
INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE
The Montigo 36SR clearances to combustible materials are 0"
back, 1" sides, 0" floor and 4" top. The Montigo 36SR must not be
installed any closer than 8 inches to any unprotected combustible
wall perpendicular to the fireplace opening.
For the protection against freezing temperatures, it is
recommended that the 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.
The B-vent system requires clearance of 1" minimum air space.
The framing dimensions are shown below:

INSTALLING THE REMOTE SWITCH
The Montigo 36SR is equipped with a remote-operated valve,
located behind the removable grille, at the bottom of the fireplace.
(Refer to Figure 5 on the last page.) The valve is pre-wired and
completely self-contained and self-powered: DO NOT connect any
external power to it.
