This installation manual will help you obtain 
a safe, effi cient, dependable installation for 
your appliance and vent system. 

Please read and understand these 

instructions before beginning your 

installation.

The 

Millivolt

 appliances have a millivolt 

gas control valve with piezo ignition system 
which provides safe, effi cient operation. If any 
optional accessories that will require electrical 
power are to be installed, the electrical power 
must be provided at the time of appliance 
installation. 

The 

Electronic

 appliances have an electronic 

intermittent pilot ignition system which 
provides safe, effi cient operation. External 
electrical power is required to operate these 
appliances. 

PACKAGING

The  assembled vented gas fi replace heater  is 
packaged with:
1 - One log set located in fi rebox area.
2  -  One envelope containing the literature pack-

age which consists of the homeowner's 
manual, installation instructions, and war-
ranty; envelope is located in the control 
compartment.

3 - One vent restrictor to be applied as shown on 

Page 13

;

 restrictor is taped to envelope.

4 - One hood located behind the top panel.
5  -  One bag of decorative volcanic stone located 

in the control compartment.

6 - One bag of glowing embers located in the 

control compartment. Introduction 

These vented gas fi replace heaters are sealed 
combustion, air circulating gas fi replaces  de-
signed for residential applications. 

Approved Vent Components

 - These fi replaces 

are designed, tested and listed for operation 
and installation with, the following vent com-
ponents only:

   

Secure Vent™ Direct Vent System Compo-
nents, 

   

Secure Flex™ Flexible Vent Components 
manufactured by Security Chimneys Inter-
national and 

   

Z-FLEX™ Model GA Venting Systems listed 
to UL1777 and ULCS635 manufactured by 
Flexmaster Canada Limited.  

These approved vent system components are 
labeled for identifi cation. DO NOT use any other 
manufacturer’s vent components with these 
appliances.  Use only the correct size venting 
(4-1/2" inner & 7-1/2" outer).

These appliances comply with National Safety 
Standards and are tested and listed by OMNI-
Test Laboratories, Inc.  (Report No. 116-F-05-5) 
to ANSI Z21.88b-2003 (in Canada, CSA-2.33b-
2003), and CAN/CGA-2.17-M91 in both USA and 
Canada, as vented gas fi replace heaters.

Both millivolt and electronic versions of 
these  appliances are listed by OMNI-Test 
Laboratories for installation in bedrooms 
and Manufactured Homes.

Manufactured Homes -

 for additional information.

 

       WARNING 

Improper installation, adjust-
ment, alteration, service or 
maintenance can cause injury 
or property damage.  Refer to 
this manual.  For assistance or 
additional information consult 
a qualifi ed installer, service 
agency or the gas supplier.

This appliance is only for use with the type 
of gas indicated on the rating plate. This ap-
pliance is not convertible for use with other 
gases, unless a certifi ed kit is used.

Cet appareil doit être utilisé uniquement 
avec les types de gaz indiqués sur la plaque 
signalétique.  Ne pas l'utiliser avec d'autres 
gaz sauf si un kit de conversion certifi é est 
installé.

Misc. Codes / Standards - 

Installation must conform to local codes. In the 
absence of local codes, installation must comply 
with the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 
Z223.1. (In Canada, the current CAN-1 B149 
installation code).  

The appliance, when installed, must be electri-
cally grounded & wired in accordance with local 
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the 
National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70-latest 
edition, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA 
C22.1 - latest edition.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Note:

 Installation and repair should be per-

formed by a qualifi ed service person. The 
appliance should be inspected annually by 
a qualifi ed professional service technician. 
More frequent inspections and cleanings may 
be required due to excessive  from carpeting, 
bedding material, etc. 

S'assurer que le brùleur et le compartiment des 
commandes sont propres.  Voir les instructions 
d'installation et d'utilisation qui accompagnent 
l'appareil.

Provide adequate clearances around air open-
ings and adequate accessibility clearance for 
service and proper operation. Never obstruct 
the front openings of the appliance.

These appliances are designed to operate on 
natural or propane gas only. To operate on an 
alternate gas (i.e. converting a natural gas 
model to use propane gas) a fi eld converion 
is necessary (see 

Pages 34 to 36

).

 The use 

of any other fuels or combination of fuels will 
degrade the performance of this system and 
may be dangerous. 

These fi replaces are designed as supplemen-
tal heaters. Therefore, it is advisable to have 
an alternate heat source when installed in a 
dwelling.

Millivolt Models - 

The millivolt appliances are 

manually controlled and feature a spark igniter 
(piezo) that allows the appliance's pilot gas to 
be lit without the use of matches or batteries.  
This system provides continued service in the 
event of a power outage.

Millivolt models come standard with a manu-
ally-modulated gas valve; fl ame appearance and 
heat output can be controlled at the gas valve. 
The BTU Input for these appliances is shown 
in 

Tables 1 & 2.
