IMPORTANT MESSAGE: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The fireplace must be installed in accordance with these instructions.
Carefully read all the instructions in this manual first. Consult the Local
Gas Branch to determine the need for a permit prior to starting the
installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure this fireplace
is installed in compliance with the manufacturers instructions and all
applicable codes.
Unit Overview
•
Prodigy series fireplaces are supplied as a complete system
consisting of firebox, power vent termination (roof mount, wall
mount, or inline) and an electrical control panel. The venting
required for the operation of the system must be field supplied.
Power vent:
• Details on power venting can be found in Section 2.
•
Flue Venting: The flue pipe installed from the firebox to the power
vent module is field supplied and must be UL or ULc listed type
B vent pipe with an I.D. dimension as shown.
•
NOTE FOR INLINE POWER VENT INSTALLATION: The flue pipe
from the outlet side of the inline power vent to the exterior
of the building must be a sealed pressure stack pipe system.
The exhaust gases in this portion of the vent system are under
positive pressure during operation; an unsealed vent pipe will
allow exhaust gases to enter the living space.
• Should the power vent cease to function or not provide adequate
draft at any time during operation of the unit, the flue gas vacuum
pressure safety switch will prevent operation of the fireplace.
Combustion Air:
• The combustion air or fresh air supply connections must be piped
to ensure no reduction or restriction to the air supply occurs.
•
The amount of air required to safely and efficiently run this
unit has been pre-determined and must not be altered without
consultation with the factory. A heat sensor switch will turn
off the burner if a restricted fresh air intake causes vent
temperatures to rise.
• Some locations allow for fresh air to be drawn from the room
in which the fireplace is installed. This type of installation is
acceptable from a functional perspective so long as adequate
free air is available in the room, but local codes may not allow
this type of air supply. Always check local regulations for air
supply before installing the fireplace.
Electrical Control Panel:
• Details on system wiring, power requirements and the Montigo
Prodigy control panel can be found in Section 5.
• See the overviews of system components and connections in
Figures 2-4.
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 that
has been under water.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of
traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface
temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed
on or near the appliance.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person.
The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually
by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning might be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It
is imperative that control compartments, burners, and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
