GENERAL VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: In order to comply with applicable
codes and product warranties, only Simpson DuraVent (SDV), Hearth & Home Technologies (HTI)
venting components, or Security Chimney's Secure
Vent Chimney System may be used. DO NOT USE
FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING COMPONENTS. The
Garnet is approved to be vented either horizontally,
through the side wall, or vertically, through the roof.
You may vent through a Class A or masonry chimney
if a Simpson Dura-Vent adapter is used (for USA
installations only). Only use Simpson Dura-Vent, or
HTI components labeled and listed on page 14.
This appliance is a direct vent heater. All combustion
air must come directly from the outside of the building.
The vent pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an
outer pipe. The inner pipe carries the stove exhaust
out of the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh
combustion air into the stove.
! A wall thimble is required when the venting
passes through a wall.
! A support box or firestop is required when the
venting passes through a ceiling.
! Roof flashing and a storm collar are required when
venting passes through the roof. Follow instructions
provided with the venting for installation of these items.
IMPORTANT: Read all these instructions carefully
before starting the installation. Failure to follow
instructions may create a fire or other safety
hazard, and will void the warranty. Be sure to
follow these installation instructions for venting
and clearance to combustible requirements, which
may vary from one installation to another. Do
not extend the venting system in excess of
the distance prescribed in these manufacturer’s
installation instructions. This gas appliance must
not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
250-6443B
October 7, 2003
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:
The Quadra-Fire Garnet is an engineered product
that has been designed and tested. The warranty will
be voided, and serious fire, health, or other safety
hazards may result from any of the following actions:
Installation of any damaged venting component,
unauthorized modification of the venting system,
installation of any component part not approved by
Hearth & Home Technologies, or installation other than
as instructed by these instructions. Consult your local
building codes before beginning this installation.
WARNING: Always maintain the required clearances (air
space) to nearby combustibles to avoid creating a fire
hazard. Do not fill air space with insulation. Minimum
clearance between vent pipes and combustible surfaces is
1” (2.5cm). Be sure to check the horizontal vent termination
clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas
regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways, as
specified on page 20 of these installation instructions, the
vertical termination requirements on page 18, 19 and 27,
and local building codes.
The gas heater and vent system must be vented
directly to the outside of the building, and never be
attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or
gas-burning appliance. This direct vent gas fireplace
must use its own separate vent system. Common vent
systems are prohibited.

each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic,
additional pipe and elbows will be required. When
determining the position of the stove, be sure to
adhere to minimum clearance to combustibles to the
appliance itself. (See page 7, Minimum Clearances to
Combustibles.)
In each of these installation methods, it is very important
to maintain a balance between the combustion air
intake and the flue gas exhaust venting system.
3. When installing this appliance into an existing
masonry chimney, it is important to carefully measure
the length of flex needed to reach from the appliance
outlet to the termination cap. If the flex length is too
short, a flex coupler will be needed to attach an
additional length of flex liner to make up the difference.
If the flex length is too long, the liner could sag below
the appliance outlet, which could result in an airflow
restriction causing flow reversal or flame lift.
Note: Certain limitations as to vent and vertical
termination configurations apply, and must be strictly
adhered to.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
Do not connect to a chimney serving a separate solidfuel burning appliance.
When planning your installation, it is necessary to
select the proper length of vent pipe for your particular
requirements.
1. For installations with any horizontal vent run or
horizontal termination, refer to the Vent Graph on page
23. This graph will show the relationship between
vertical and horizontal side wall venting, and help you
to determine the amount of vertical rise necessary for
“vertical-to-horizontal” type installations.
Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection when
installing this stove. Exercise extreme caution when
using ladders or on rooftops around power lines.
Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and
ceilings.
NOTE: Be sure to take into consideration the wall
thickness when calculating your venting needs.
2. To determine the length of pipe required for vertical
installations, measure the distance from the stove flue
outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling thickness, the vertical
rise in an attic or second story, and allow for sufficient
vent height above the roofline. Refer to the vertical
vent termination tables on page 27 for this information.
For two-story applications, fire stops are required at

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
Step 1.
Determine the desired location of the stove. Check to
ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way
when the venting system is attached. If this is the case,
you may want to adjust the location of the stove.
Step 2.
Simpson Dura-Vent pipe is designed with special twistlock connections. To connect the venting system to the
stove flue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into the stove
at the factory. Remember to include wall thickness in
minimum clearances when figuring the measurements for
your installation needs.
Step 3.
For installations using a Wall Thimble Dura-Vent Part #942,
mark the wall for a 10” x 10” (25.4m x 25.4m) square
hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the
centerline of the horizontal pipe, as shown in Fig. 6. Cut
and frame the hole in the exterior wall where the vent will
be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
noncombustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a
7” (17.8cm) diameter hole is acceptable.
FIG. 6
CENTER OF
HOLE
Note: Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations, located
on the female ends of pipes and fittings, are designed
to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fittings by orienting the four pipe indentations so
they match and slide into the four entry slots on the
male ends, see Fig. 5 below. Push the pipe sections
completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are
fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible
from the outside, on the pipe or fittings. They may be
located by examining the inside of the female ends.

NOTE:
Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3’
(91cm). Wall straps are available for this purpose.
Horizontal sections require a 1/4" (6mm) rise for
every 12" (30.5cm) of horizontal travel.
Exterior Vent Diameter = 6 5/8" (177mm); Inner Vent
Diameter = 4" (10.2cm).
250-6443B
October 7, 2003
NOTE:
(1) Installation requires a minimum of 6" (15.2cm) horizontal
run of vent with a 1/4” (6mm) rise run towards the
termination. Each 1’ (30.5cm) of horizontal venting
must include a 1/4” rise. Never allow the vent to run
downward. This could cause high temperatures and
may present the possibility of a fire.
(2) The location of the horizontal vent termination on an
exterior wall must meet all local and national building
codes, and must not be easily blocked or obstructed,
see page 20.
(3) For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior
of the building, HTI RHVK Snorkel Kit #844-8920, 14”
(35.5cm) or 36” (91cm) tall snorkel terminations are
available. Follow the same installation procedures as
used for standard horizontal terminations. If the snorkel
termination must be installed below grade (i.e. basement
application), proper drainage must be provided to
prevent water from entering the snorkel termination. Do
not backfill around snorkel termination.

Step 4.
Position the horizontal vent termination in the center of the 10" x 10" (25.4cm x 25.4cm) square hole and run a bead of non-hardening
mastic around its outside edges, so as to make a seal between it and the wall, attach termination cap to the exterior wall with the four
wood screws provided. The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up (Fig. 7)

NOTES:
(1) The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types
of sidings.
(2) Termination Cap HHW2 (HTI Part #841-0670) is highly recommended on a building with vinyl siding, as the vinyl siding
standoff is built in. The pilot hole will be 2 inches closer to the bottom of the square than the top. Using a framing square,
draw a 14" x 14" square around the pilot hole. See Fig. 8-A. (NOTE: If you are installing Termination Cap HHW2, the pipe
will be off center on the flashing). Ensure that proper clearances to combustible materials are maintained. If you are using
Simpson Dura-vent termination cap #985 on a building with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding standoff (Simpson Dura-vent
Part #950), should be installed between the vent cap and the exterior wall (Fig. 8-B). Attach the vinyl siding standoff to
the horizontal vent termination. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding
material. Vent terminal shall not be recessed into a wall or siding. Remove siding from behind area of standoff.
FIG. 9
Step 5.
Slide the stove and vent assembly towards the wall,
carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly.
It is important that the vent pipe extend into the vent cap
a sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe
overlap of 11⁄4” (32mm). Secure the connection between
the vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet
metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into
the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal
screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section
(Fig. 9).
Note: The attachment from the vent pipe to the vent cap
must be sealed with silicone. Venting terminals shall not
be recessed into a wall or siding.

Measure the vertical distance from the center line of the flue pipe to the center of the 90° elbow. On the graph below,
draw a horizontal line from that measurement on the vertical axis across until it intersects with the slanted line.
From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.
The point at which this line meets the bottom line of the graph is the maximum length of the horizontal run.
EXAMPLE 2: If the vertical dimension from the center line

line of the flue vent to the center of the 90° elbow is 7’
(2.13m), the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must
not exceed 11’10” (360.8cm)
4. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 3' of vent pipe and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1' of vent pipe, and must be
subtracted from the vent pipe run. A single horizontal to vertical 90° elbow is already calculated into the allowable 15'
run. Each additional 90° elbow reduces the maximum horizontal distance by 3'.
NOTES
The maximum horizontal vent run is 15’
(4.57m) when the vertical vent rise is 10’
(3.05m).
Example: The use of 3 elbows would reduce the allowable
horizontal run to 9' (3 - 1 = 2 elbows x 3' = 6';

DAMPER INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
WHEN YOUR INSTALLATION FALLS WITHIN A SHADED AREA ON THE VENT GRAPH (PAGE
23). A DAMPER MUST BE INSTALLED FOR PROPER OPERATION. (In the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, the word damper shall be replaced with the words flue restrictor.)
Installation of the damper requires the removal of the baffle. Remove the baffle by removing the 4 screws holding the baffle in
place. (Two screws in back and one on each side). Angle the baffle slightly and remove from firebox (Fig. 1).
The two screws holding the bottom of the baffle in place also hold the damper in place. After removing the baffle
remove the two screws located at the back of the firebox. See Fig. 2. (These will also be used to secure the baffle
in place.) Hold the damper in position and install the four screws to hold it in place. See Fig. 3. Leave the lower
screws loose enough to slide baffle over them. Slide the baffle back into position. Tighten the screws and re-install
the screws on the sides.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
USING GS SERIES PIPE
Step 1.
Check the installation instructions for required 1” (25mm) clearances (air space) to
combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or other
nearby combustible surfaces. See page 27, Fig. 16. Do not pack air space with insulation.
Check the instructions below for maximum vertical rise of the venting system, and any
maximum horizontal offset limitations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of the vent
graph located on page 23.
NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 35’ (10.7m) (Fig. 10).
NOTE: Maximum number of 45° elbows permitted for a vertical installation is eight, provided
their installation does not decrease maximum allowable horizontal run (as specified by Vent
Graph, on page 23).

Step 2.
Set the gas stove in its desired location. Drop a plumb bob
down from the ceiling to the position of the stove flue
exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a
plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the
ceiling, and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate
the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other
framing will obstruct the venting system. You may wish to
relocate the stove, or to offset, as shown in Fig. 11, page
25 to avoid cutting loadbearing members.
Step 3.
To install the round support box/wall thimble in a flat
ceiling, cut a 10" (25.4cm) square hole in the ceiling,
centered on the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as
shown in Fig. 13.

of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling
support box up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe
and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well as above
the roofline. The galvanized finish is desirable above the
roofline, due to its higher corrosion resistance.
NOTE:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid
obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe
every 3’ (91.4cm) to avoid excessive stress on the
elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are
available for this purpose, Fig. 11, page 25.
(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the
flow of flue gases and intake air.
Step 6.
Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding
through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to
the roof with roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material
overlaps the top edge of the flashing as shown in Fig. 14.
Verify that the chimney is the required height above the
roof. See Roof Pitch Table on page 27 of this manual

Step 4.
Assemble the desired lengths of GS pipe and elbows
necessary to reach from the stove up through the round
support box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections
are in their fully twist-locked position. Be sure to seal
the outer pipe with appropriate sealant (high temperature
silicone).
Step 5.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole
placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient
size to meet the minimum requirements for clearance to
combustibles, as specified. Continue to assemble lengths

Step 7.
Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height
of the vent cap (H) (Fig. 15) meets the minimum
code requirements as outlined in the current CAN/
CGA-B149 Installation Codes (in Canada), the
National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1
(in USA), or local codes. Note that for steep roof
pitches, the vent height must be increased. See
Table 1 below. In high wind conditions, nearby trees
adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other
similar factors can result in poor draft, or down
drafting. In these cases increasing the vent height
may solve this problem.

Step 8.
Twist-lock the vent cap and seal.
Note:
(1) For multi-story vertical installations, a ceiling
firestop (SDV part #963) is required at the
second floor, and any subsequent floors (Fig.
16). The opening should be framed to 10” x 10”
(25.4cm x 25.4cm) inside dimensions, in the
same manner as shown in Fig. 13, page 26.
(2) Any occupied areas above the first floor,
including closets and storage spaces, which the
vertical vent passed through must be enclosed.
The enclosure may be framed and sheetrocked
with standard construction materials; however,
refer to these installation instructions for the
minimum allowable clearance between the
outside of the vent pipe and the combustible
surfaces of the enclosure. Do not fill any of the
required air space with insulation.

INSTALLATION INTO A CLASS A METAL CHIMNEY (USA ONLY)
NOTE: Have the existing installation inspected by
a qualified chimney sweep or professional installer
prior to converting to direct vent. The existing
chimney system must be in serviceable condition
and functionally sound and clean.
Step 1.
Remove existing chimney cap.
Step 2.
Measure the distance from the top of the chimney
to the bottom of the ceiling support box, add 3”
(76mm) to this measurement, and cut a section of 4”
(101mm) flex pipe to that length (the flex should be
extended to its nominal length).
Step 4.
Pass the flex pipe down through the center of the
chimney system, and center the top adapter on the
top of the chimney pipe. Drill four 1/8” (3mm) diameter
holes through the top adapter, and into the chimney
top. Ensure that you are drilling into the metal on
the chimney. Twist lock the high wind termination cap
(SDV #991) onto the top adapter (Figs. 20 and 21).

INSTALLATION INTO AN EXISTING MASONRY CHIMNEY (USA ONLY)
Step 1.
Before cutting any holes, assemble the desired sections
of direct vent pipe to determine the center of the masonry
penetration.
Step 2.
Once the center point of the penetration has been determined,
cut a 6” (152mm) diameter hole in the masonry. If the hole
is too large, the retro connector might not mount properly; if
the hole is too small, the appliance might starve for intake air.
If there is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall, cut and
frame a 10” (254mm) square opening in the wall (centered
around the 6” (152mm) masonry opening). If there is sheet
rock only (no studs) in front of the masonry the 10” (254mm)
opening is still needed, but does not need to be framed. If the
hole is framed a wall thimble is required. This allows the retro
connector to mount directly on the masonry and provide the
correct clearances to combustibles (Fig. 22).

Step 4.
To determine the length of
flex needed, measure from 3”
(76mm) above the top of the
flashing down to the level of
the opening. Add the distance
from the center of the chimney
out through the wall. Cut a
piece of 4” (102mm) flex to this
length (extended to its nominal

line up the flex liner with the vent opening on the appliance.
WARNING: Do not let the flex liner sag below the level at
which it will connect to the appliance or connector. This
could allow hot gas to become trapped and potentially
become a fire hazard. The flex liner path should always
be sloped up toward the termination cap.

you have a framed wall in front of the masonry, use
wood screws to mount wall thimble cover to framed
wall, over retro connector and 10” (25.4cm) square
framed opening (Fig. 22, Page 30). If needed, add a
section of direct vent pipe to the retro connector in
order to extend through the opening in the wall thimble
cover.
Step 11.
The connection between the appliance and the retro
connector may be completed with sections of direct
vent pipe.
WARNING: If any other appliances have been
previously attached to this masonry flue or an open
fireplace, etc., all openings into flue should be sealed
properly. It is very important that there is only one
appliance on a vent system and that there are no air
leaks into the masonry chimney itself other than the
vent appliance venting.
WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance
with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance may result
in property damage or personal injury.

GAS LINE REQUIREMENTS
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all
local codes, if any (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts
approved); if not, follow NFGC ANSI 223.1 or CAN/
CGA-B149 and the requirements listed below.
NOTE: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes by a qualified installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality.
(In the Commonwealth of Massachusettes installation
must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.)
A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved)
1/2 inch (13mm) tee-handle manual shut-off valve and a
listed flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch
(13mm) inlet of the control valve. NOTE: If substituting
for these components, please consult local codes for
compliance. Leak test all gas line joints and the gas
control valve prior to and after starting the stove.
The stove and gas control valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5
kPa). For pressures under 1/2 psig (3.5kPA), isolate the
gas supply piping by closing the manual shut-off valve. Be
sure to bleed off test pressure before opening shut off.
After running new gas line, or if a gas line has been
disconnected, purging of the gas line may be necessary.
To purge gas line, open the inlet pressure tap and allow
gas to flow through while carefully monitoring for the odor
of either natural gas, which will rise, or propane, which
will settle near the floor. As soon as you smell the gas,
discontinue purging the line. Ensure that the room has
plenty of ventilation and that no sparks or open flames are
near the end of the gas line during the purging process. Do
not try to ignite the stove until any and all gas accumulation
has been cleared from the room.
CAUTION: In some areas, gas line pressure may
be more than 1/2 PSIG (14”WC). If you believe
that this is the case in your locality, contact
your gas supplier or local utility company. Line
pressure greater than 1/2 PSIG will damage
the stove valve. You must install a regulator
upstream from the stove if line pressure is
greater than 1/2 PSIG.

MAIN BURNER ......................... This control is used to turn the stove on and off.
PILOT IGNITOR ....................... The pilot ignitor is used only to start the pilot. When the valve control knob is turned to
the pilot position and fully depressed, it sends an electrical charge to the pilot assembly.
This creates a blue spark directly next to the pilot, igniting the pilot flame.
VALVE CONTROL .................... This knob is used to control gas to the stove and for starting the pilot. There are three
positions, ON, OFF, & PILOT. The indicator on the valve indicates the position of the
knob.
COMFORT CONTROL.............. This knob controls the flame height from low (“LO”) to high (“HI”).
NOTE: If using a remote control wall switch, or thermostat, the On/Off Switch must be left “OFF”. Turning the On/Off Switch
to “ON” will keep the stove on continually.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Blower (Fan).............. If the optional blower kit is installed, the 75 cfm blower will circulate heated air into the living area. It
produces a whirring sound which increases in volume as the speed is increased.
Pilot Flame ................ The pilot flame remains on constantly and makes a “whisper” sound.
Gas control valve ..... As the valve opens and shuts down it will click.
Burner pan ................ The burner pan is located beneath the logs. It distributes the gas producing a clean, efficient and
aesthetic burn. As the main burner gets up to temperature a creaking sound will be heard. This
is the expansion of the metal. The sound will cease once the stove is up to temperature but may
return upon cool down.
Snap disc .................. This part may produce a clicking sound as the blower turns on and off if blower is left in the "ON"
position.
Heat Exchanger ........ A normal expansion and contraction (ticking) sound may be heard.
MAINTENANCE
Installation and repair should be done only by a qualified service agency. The appliance and venting systems should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified agency. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, et cetera. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating
air passageways of the appliance be kept clean. Note: If venting is disconnected for any reason, the vent-air intake system
must be properly re-sealed and re-installed.
GLASS CLEANING
WARNING!
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! TURN UNIT OFF AND ALLOW TO COOL. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE or CHEMICAL CLEANERS ON GLASS SURFACE! DO NOT OPERATE WITH THE
GLASS FRONT REMOVED, CRACKED OR BROKEN! DO NOT STRIKE OR SLAM THE DOOR!
___Turn off pilot light.

excessive sooting is found, the stove will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
5. Clean the burner with a soft brush vacuum attachment, (especially the burner holes) and inspect the
following:
a. Check for burner holes that are cracked, plugged or deteriorated.
b. Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage. If any
problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
6. Re-install the log set. Inspect the door glass, if the door glass is damaged, contact your dealer for a
replacement. Make sure the gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and
forms an airtight seal. If it does not, realign or replace the gasket to ensure an airtight seal. Re-install door.
7. Inspect the area behind the side panels. Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage
is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
8. Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination, outside the house ensuring that the flow of
combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found
near the vent termination.
9. CAUTION! Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation.
10. Turn on gas and follow Lighting Instructions. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the
firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower
operation.

Ignition Module Access and Battery Replacement
The Ignition Module (automatic-ignitor) is located on the left
side of the stove. This module was incorporated into the
design of the Garnet DV to facilitate "one hand" lighting
of the stove. When the gas control knob is turned to the
"Pilot" position, and depressed, the ignitor should begin
sparking immediately. If the ignitor does not begin sparking
immediately, then it is in need of service.
The ignitor is located on a plate attached to the right side of
the stove and is attached to the plate using two #8 Phillips
head screws. To access the ignitor, remove the two screws
securing the plate to the side of the stove and slide the plate
out, as shown in picture at right.
The single "AA" 1.5V battery that powers the ignitor is
located in the module. To replace the battery, open the
battery compartment and remove old battery. Replace the
battery making sure the polarity is correct.
Accessing Ignition Module
Glass Replacement
1. Turn stove OFF and let it cool down before replacing the glass.
2. Lift off stove top and set on flat surface with the porcelain side up to prevent damage.
3. Remove stove front by sliding upwards in the grooves being careful not to chip the porcelain. Lay stove front
face up on flat surface.
4. Unhook the two latches now exposed on top of the stove.
5. Lower the glass frame and glass towards you and lift out of the two notches at the bottom left and right of the frame.
6. Remove glass from the frame. Lay new glass in place. (Glass will come with gasket on it).
7. Reinstall glass frame on the stove and secure the two latches on top of the stove.
8. Reinstall stove front and stove top.
NOTE: The glass & gasketing must be replaced as a complete unit as supplied by the manufacturer.
WARNING! Do not use substitute material.
Shutter Adjustment
OPEN
CLOSE
The shutter is located on the underside of the stove, on the
right side. To adjust the shutter, loosen the 1/4" nut with a
7/16 wrench that is securing the shutter.
Moving the shutter bolt to the right closes the shutter.
Moving the shutter bolt to the left, will open the shutter.
Opening the shutter causes flames to become shorter
and blue. Closing the shutter creates taller orange/yellow
flames.
After adjustment, tighten nut to lock in place.

Stove Design
Many of the components within this gas stove are designed
specifically for safety purposes. It is therefore imperative
that only certified gas service technicians should service
this appliance.
Burner Operation
A millivolt system controls the operation of this stove. The
thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when
heated by the pilot flame. This electricity is used to operate
the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve
will not turn on. That is why, when starting the pilot, the
gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the
thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity.
The thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch,
remote control, or thermostat. Because the thermopile
generates the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on
and off, this stove can be operated when the power is out
(although the blower will not run).
Gas Build Up Prevention Feature
This appliance’s utilization of a high-technology gas valve
in conjunction with a pilot flame ensures that no gas builds
up inside the firebox.
The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot
flame is lit. If the pilot flames goes out, this thermocouple
no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to
automatically shut off all gas to the heater, preventing the
pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.
