INTRODUCTION
The Montigo 36DV-TV is rated at 18,000 BTUs. (4.7 Kilowatts) for
Natural & Propane gas.
The Montigo warranty will be voided by, and Montigo disclaims
any responsibility for, the following actions:
- Modification of the fireplace and/or components including
Direct-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.
Installation & repairs should be done by a qualified contractor,
and installation must conform with the current CAN/CGA
B-149.1 and .2 Gas Installation Code and local
regulations.
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.
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 selecting the
fireplace location. Try to select a location that does not interfere
with room traffic, has adequate ventilation, and offers an accessible
pathway for Direct Vent & Combustion Air Kit installation.
The fireplace dimensions are shown below:
NOTE: SEE FIGURE 2 FOR FRAMING DIMENSIONS

CAUTION
The gas line must be installed before finishing the Montigo
36DV-TV Fireplace. Natural Gas requires an inlet pressure of
7" W.C. & a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C. Propane Gas
requires an inlet pressure of 11" W.C. & a manifold pressure of
10.5" W.C. It is also required that provisions be made for a
1/8" N.P.T. plugged tapping and be accessable for test gauge
connection immediately upstream of the gas supply controls to
the appliance. The fireplace gas connection and the main
operating gas valve is located behind the removable brass trim
at the bottom of the unit and need only be attached to the gas
line with an approved fitting, as required by the CAN/CGA
B-149.1 and .2 Gas Installation Code.
INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
*After gas line is connected, it is a Can/CGA B149.1 & .2 code requirement
(Section 8.25.3 (e)) that "each
appliance
connection,
valve, valve train,
shall
be checked while under normal operating pressure with either a liquid solution,
or leak detection device, to locate any source of leak." Tighten any areas where
bubbling appears or leak is detected until bubbling stops completely or leak
is no longer detected. Do NOT use a flame of any kind to test for leaks.
INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE
The Montigo 36DV-TV clearances to combustible materials are
0" back, 1" sides, 0" floor and 4" top. The Montigo 36DV-TV must
not be installed any closer than 8 inches to any unprotected
combustible wall perpendicular to the fireplace opening.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended
that 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.
