Pac (not supplied).
3.0 installation
3.1
minimum clearance to combustibles
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within required distances, the most desirable and benefi cial location for an appli-
ance is in the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most effi cient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and
the traffi 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.
MAINTAIN THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES:
A.
7" (17.8mm)
B.
2" (51mm)
C.
1" (25mm)*
D.
17 1/2" (445mm)
E.
6 1/4" (159mm)
F.
9 1/2" (241mm)
Minimum 20" (508mm) from appliance top to ceiling
* At a distance of 1" (25mm) from the wall, access to the blower switch, on-off switch or the blower power cord
may not be practical.
GDS50-1:
HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS:
A minimum clearance of 2" (51mm) at the top and 1" (25mm) at the bottom
and sides of the vent pipe on all horizontal runs is required.
VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS:
A minimum of 1" (25mm) all around the vent pipe on all vertical runs to
combustibles is required.
GS50-1:
A minimum of 1" (25mm) all around the B-vent pipe on both horizontal and vertical runs to combustibles is
required.

WARNING
•
Ensure to unpack all loose materials from inside the fi rebox prior to connecting the gas and electrical supply
•
If your appliance is supplied with a remote, ensure the remote receiver is in the “OFF” position prior
to connecting the gas and electrical supply to the appliance.
•
For safe and proper operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.
•
The appliance exhaust fl ue collar must be sealed using Mill Pac
. All exhaust and intake vent pipe joints
must be sealed using red RTV high temp silicone sealant (W573-0002) (not supplied) or black high temp Mill
Pac (W573-0007) (not supplied).
•
If using pipe clamps to connect rigid vent components, a minimum of 3 screws must also be used to ensure
the connection cannot slip off.
•
Do not clamp the fl exible vent pipe.
•
Risk of fi re, explosion, or asphyxiation. Improper support of the entire venting system may allow vent to sag
and separate. Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per installation instructions.
•
Risk of fi re, do not allow loose materials or insulation to touch the vent pipe. Remove insulation to allow for the
installation of the attic shield and to maintain clearances to combustibles.
•
Do not fi ll the space between the vent pipe and enclosure with any type of material. Do not pack insulation
or combustibles between ceiling fi restops. Always maintain specifi ed clearances around venting and fi restop
systems. Install wall shields and fi restops as specifi ed. Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from
vent pipe may cause fi re.
•
For gas stoves only:
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, unless otherwise tested.
