Pre-installation Questions and Answers

About curing of the paint

Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries quickly in 15-20

minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone components, the paint will cure

when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used. The following information applies to the curing process to get the

paint fully hard and durable.

Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between each. Be aware

during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside of the glass doors. It is important

to remove this white deposit from the glass doors using a fireplace glass cleaner.

Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.

Ventilate well, open doors and windows.

Do not touch during curing.

Why does my fireplace or stove give off odour?

It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odor at first. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives, silicones and

any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used with the installations (e.g.

marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can react with heat and cause odours).

It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with the fan off (if a fan

is present) after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours of burn time; keep

burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odours dissipate.

Noise coming from the fireplace?

Noise is caused by the expansion and contraction of metal as the appliance heats up and cools down. This is normal and

is similar to the sounds produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of

your fireplace.

It is also normal for the fan to make some noise when it comes on. This noise can be reduced somewhat by turning down

the speed of the fan with the variable speed control. Be aware, however, that this will reduce the volume of heated air

circulated into the room by the fan.

Note to the Installer:

Be sure appliance is working properly and its operation (including remote control operation, if included) is fully explained

to and understood by the customer.

Operating Instructions

1. Be sure to read and understand all the instructions in this manual before operation of appliance.

2. Ensure all wiring is correct and properly enclosed to prevent possible shock.

3. Check for gas leaks.

4. Make sure the glass door is properly installed before operation. Never operate the appliance with the glass door

removed.

5. Make sure venting and termination cap are installed and unobstructed.

6. If brick or porcelain liners are used, ensure they are installed.

7. Verify that the pilot can be seen when lighting the appliance. If not, the log or rock placement is incorrect.

8. If the unit is turned off, you must wait a minimum of 60 seconds before re-lighting it.

Recommendations for Finishing of Clean View Linear Products

When finishing the wall around the fireplace, it is critical that the wall covering be fastened properly. It is acceptable to

pre-drill holes and use self-tapping screws which may be used to fasten a backer for tile, marble, etc. Screws being

installed through non-combustible board should be self-tapping type with a maximum length of 2 inches. Wall covering

fasteners, such as screws or nails, are not permitted in some locations. Do not drill or install longer screws which may

penetrate into the lower cover panel area as this may damage internal components.

Only non-combustible materials may be used over the face of the appliance.

We recommend that DUROCK (non-combustible material) be tied in to the entire perimeter of the fireplace for durability.

Finishing Recommendations (Obtained from professional construction contractors and finishers):

Frame unit with metal studs (minimum 20 gauge).Wooden studs may be used, but may cause drywall screws to pop

or pull due to wood studs drying out.

Minimum of 1/2” DUROCK cement board (this non-combustible panel is ULC listed as a wall shield/floor protector) and

fasten to the entire perimeter framing.

Use fiberglass (mesh) tape for all joints in area of the fireplace.

Use Yellow joint mud (contains high amounts of glue) –two coats, finishing with one coat of green topping mud, sand

and prep for painting.

If not using a surround, a metal “L” Trim may be used to finish perimeter of DUROCK.

Refer to the following website for more information on using DUROCK Cement Board: www.cgcinc.com

OTHER NOTES:

-A full single sheet of non-combustible board (no joints) above the unit is recommended if possible.

-It is preferred to attach the non-combustible board to framing only and not directly to the unit to allow for expansion and

contraction during normal operation.

-Lighter colored painted surfaces may discolor due to heat exposure.
