NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
WARNING
Electronic models of these appliances are equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug
utilized in connecting the electronic components to the junction box in the lower compartment.
This grounding plug provides protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong
from the plug.
Install the wiring for the wall switch receiver
The wall switch receiver for the Total Comfort Control™ remote control system connects directly to the gas
valve, stepper motor, and fan control module with an umbilical cord wiring harness.
1.
Install a junction box (not provided) on the wall adjacent to the appliance, within reach of the remote system
umbilical cord wiring harness.
2.
Position the terminal in the junction box.
WARNING
Fire hazard. Can cause severe injury or death. The wall switch receiver causes ignition of the
appliance. The appliance can turn on suddenly. Keep away from the appliance burner when
operating the remote system or activating manual bypass of the remote control system.
WARNING
Property damage hazard. Excessive heat can cause property damage. The appliance can stay
lit for many hours. Turn OFF the appliance if it is not going to be attended for any length of
time. Always place the remote control transmitter where children cannot reach it.

Connect the Gas Line
The gas control valve is located in the lower control compartment (
Figure 32
).
All codes require a shutoff valve mounted in the supply line.
Figure 33
illustrates the method for connecting the gas
supply. The flex-line method is acceptable in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements vary depending on locality.
Installation must be in compliance with local codes. The provided gas-line shutoff valve (located in the control
compartment) is intended as a service shutoff. National and local codes may require installation of a second gas-
line shutoff valve (not provided) in a readily accessible location. Consult local codes. It is the responsibility of the
plumber to provide an accessible shutoff.
These fireplaces are equipped with a gas flex line for use (where permitted) in connecting the unit to the gas line. A
gas flex line is provided to aid in attaching the direct-vent fireplace to the gas supply. The gas flex line can only be
used where local codes permit. The flex line is rated for both natural and propane gas. A manual shutoff valve is also
provided with the flex line.
NOTE:
Ensure the system is set to intermittent mode on the remote with the pilot in the OFF position. See
Continuous Pilot Ignition / Intermittent Pilot Ignition on
Page 58
for more information.
NOTE:
A sediment trap is recommended in the gas piping within the home to prevent moisture and debris in the line
from damaging the valve.
NOTE:
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds. Ensure propane resistant compounds
are used in propane applications.
NOTE:
Seal around the gas line to prevent cold air leakage. Gas line holes and other openings can be caulked or
stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation.
1.
Unscrew the shutoff valve from the gas flex-line. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the gas type, and then
connect the shutoff valve to the gas stub.
NOTE:
Position the shutoff valve to allow easy operation through the access opening in the fireplace floor.
