THIS GAS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER
to
conform with local codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important to know the
speci
fi
cs that apply to your area, for example in Massachusetts State:
•
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas
fi
tter when installed within the commonwealth
of Massachusetts.
•
The appliance damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of a appliance
insert or gas log.
•
The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The
fl
exible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
•
A Carbon Monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas
fi
red appliances.
•
The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent
sealed combustion product.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in
absence of local codes, the National Gas and Propane
Installation Code CSA B149.1 in Canada, or the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 in the United
States. Suitable for mobile home installation if installed in
accordance with the current standard CAN/CSA Z240MH

ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54 in the United States.
As long as the required clearance to combustibles is
maintained, the most desirable and bene
fi
cial location for an appliance is in the center of a building, thereby
allowing the most ef
fi
cient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traf
fi
c
fl
ow in the
room where the appliance is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location
where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a
fl
oor or roof joist.
If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood
fl
ooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in
accordance with local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/
NFPA 70 National Electrical code in the United States.
We suggest that our gas
hearth products be installed
and serviced by professionals
who are certified in the U.S.
