on page 9, before starting the installation.

This gas fireplace should be installed by a qualified

installer in accordance with local building codes and with

current CSA-B149 (.1 or .2) Installation codes for Gas

Burning Appliances and Equipment. For USA Installations

follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas

Code. ANSI Z223.1. If the unit is being installed in a

mobile home the installation should comply with the

current CAN/USA Z240.4 Code.

FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PLEASE

NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1 . This fireplace gives off high temperatures and should

be located out of high traffic areas and away from

furniture and draperies.

2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards

of fireplace high surface temperatures and should

stay away to avoid burns or ignition of clothing.

3. CAUTION: Due to high glass surface temperature

children should be carefully supervised when in

the same room as fireplace.

4. Under no circumstances should this fireplace be

modified. Parts removed for servicing should be

replaced prior to operating this fireplace again.

5. Installation and any repairs to fireplace must be

performed by qualified installer, service agency or gas

supplier. A professional service person should be

contacted to inspect fireplace annually. More frequent

cleaning may be required due to excess lint and dust

from carpeting, bedding material, etc.

6. Control compartments, burners and air passages in

this fireplace should be kept clean and free of dust

and lint. Make sure that the gas valve and pilot light

are turned off before you attempt to clean this

fireplace.

7. The venting system (chimney) of this fireplace should

be checked at least once a year and if needed your

venting system should be cleaned.

Keep the area around your fireplace clear of combusti-

ble materials, gasoline and other flammable vapour

and liquids. This fireplace should not be used as a

drying rack for clothing, nor should Christmas stockings

or decorations be hung on or around the fireplace.

9. Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood,

coal, paper or cardboard etc.) be used in this

fireplace.

10. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be

obstructed in any way.

11. When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting,

vinyl tile or any combustible material other than wood,

this fireplace must be installed on a metal or wood panel

extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.

12. This fireplace requires adequate ventilation and

combustion air to operate properly.

13. This fireplace must not be connected to a chimney flue

serving a separate solid fuel burning fireplace.

14. When the fireplace is not in use it is recommended

that the gas control valve be left in the OFF position.

IMPORTANT:

PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY

Remove any plastic from parts before turning the

fireplace ON.

It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give

off some expansion and/or contraction noises

during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar

noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger

or car engine. It is not unusual for your gas fireplace

to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This

is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected

oil from the manufacturing process.

Please ensure that your room is well ventilated-

open all windows.

It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for

at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the

optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan

switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

PREPARATION

GAS LINE INSTALLATION

The use of wall paper adjacent to this

fireplace is not recommended, as the

high heat given off by this fireplace may

adversely affect the binders in the

adhesive used to apply the wallpaper.

Before beginning, remove the window frame assembly

from the fireplace. Also check to make sure there is not

hidden damage to the fireplace. Take a minute and

plan out the gas, vent and electrical supply. See

Window Frame Assembly Section.

When purging the gas line, the front

glass must be removed.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of

the fireplace as well as the bottom. Opening is provided

on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe

installation and testing of any gas connecion. It is most

convenient to bring the gas line in from the rear right

side of the valve, as this allows fan installation or

removal without disconnecting the gas line.

The gas line connection can be made

with properly tinned 3/8” copper tubing,

3/8” rigid pipe or an approved flex con-

nector. Since some municipalities have

some additional local codes, it is always

best to consult your local authority and

the CSA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.

For USA Installations consult the current

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

Always check for gas leaks with a mild

soap and water solution. Do not use an

open flame for leak testing.

The gas control is equipped with a

captured screw type pressure test point,

therefore it is not necessary to provide a

1/8” test point up stream of the control.

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket

permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home,

where not prohibited by local codes.

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas

indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not

convertible for use with other gases, unless a

certified kit is available and used.

Fig. 2

Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and

are certified without deration for elevations up

to 4,500 feet (1,370 m) above sea level.

For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in

USA, installations must be in accordance with

the current ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes

having jurisdiction.

In Canada, please consult provincial and/or

local authorities having jurisdiction for install-

ations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m).

The remote ON/OFF switch can not be fitted to units

using the Honeywell Radio Frequency control valve.

If the fireplace has been fitted with the Radio

Frequency Control Valve, the ON/OFF function is

controlled by the remote handset. (See the Comfort

Control Valve Operating Instruction Section).

Install on/off switch assembly on either the rear right or

left side of the Fireplace.

1. Remove the screw at the back of the cabinet top

either on the left or the right side of the fireplace.

2. Position switch assembly onto the back of the

fireplace, then fasten two screws as shown in Fig. 5.

3. Attach wiring under the clips on the rear casing

(Fig. 5) and install wiring through the rear opening

of the fireplace before connecting to the valve as

shown in Fig. 4.

When using copper or flex connector use only ap-

proved fittings. Always provide a union when using

black iron pipe so that gas line can be easily

disconnected for burner or fan servicing (see Fig. 2)

See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.

The fireplace valve must not be

subjected to any test pressures

exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect

this or any other gas appliance control

from the gas line when pressure testing.

Before joining elbows and pipes apply a bead of high

temperature sealant to the crimped end of the elbow or

pipe. Join the pipes using a 2” (50mm) overlap and

secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws

(Fig. 11). Wipe off excess sealant.

There are polished brass decorative

rings available to hide the exposed

piping joints. Wrap the brass ring over

the joint fitting the stud into the notch

and tighten down the 3/8” nut.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON ASSEMBLING

THE VENT PIPES IN DIRECT VENT APPLICATIONS

CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS:

The venting system must be installed in accordance

with the current CSA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.

USA INSTALLATIONS:

The venting system must conform with local codes

and/or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI

Z223.1.

Fig. 11

Screw Holes

Fig. 12

CRIMPED END PIPES TWIST LOCK PIPES

When using twist-lock pipe it is not necessary to use

sealant on the twist lock joints.

The only areas of the venting system that need to be

sealed with high temperature silicone sealant are the

collars on the fireplace and termination, and the sliding

joint of any telescopic vent section used in the system.

To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the

beads of the male end with the grooves of the female

end, twisting the pipe until the flange on the female

end contacts the external flange on the male end.

It is recommended that you secure the joints with three

(3) sheet metal screws, however this is not mandatory

with twist lock pipe.

To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest

putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male

end of the twist lock pipe.

VERTICAL SIDEWALL APPLICATIONS

Since it is very important that the venting system

maintain its balance between the combustion air intake

and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent

configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.

The graph, on page 11, showing the relationship

between vertical and horizontal side wall venting will

help to determine the various lengths allowable.

Minimum clearance between vent pipes and

combustible materials is one 1” (25mm) on top, bottom

and sides unless otherwise noted.

When the vent termination exits through

foundations less than 20” below siding outcrop,

the vent pipe must flush up with the siding.

It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a

way that minimizes the number of offsets and

horizontal vent length.

The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of

vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to the

face of the outer wall.

Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on

this portion of the vent assembly.

VERTICAL SIDEWALL INSTALLATIONS

• The maximum number of 90°elbows per side wall

installations is three (3).

• For IRFSDV24 and IRFSDV34 models the

maximum horizontal run off a minimum 12” vertical

rise is 3’ (see Fig. 15).

• If a 90˚ elbow is used in the horizontal vent run

(level height maintained) the maximum horizontal vent

length is reduced by 36 inches, (Fig. 14). This does not

apply if the 90˚ elbows are used to increase or redirect

a vertical rise (Fig. 16).

Example: According to the chart the maximum

horizontal vent length is 20’ and if a 90˚ elbow

is required in the horizontal vent it must be

reduced to 17’.

In Fig. 14, Dimension A plus B must not be

greater than 17’ (5.2m).

• The maximum number of 45°elbows permitted per

side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be

installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.

• For each 45°elbow installed in the horizontal run,

the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by

18” (45cm). This does not apply if the 45°elbows are

installed on the vertical part of the vent system.

• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system

is 270°(Fig. 13).

Example: In Figure 13

Elbow 1 = 90°

Elbow 2 = 45°

Elbow 3 = 45°

Elbow 4 = 90°

Total angular variation = 270°
