These heaters shall not be installed in a con-
fined space. The heater may be located in
unusually tight construction provided the
space is unconfined, or if confined, is pro-
vided with two permanent openings commu-
nicating directly with an additional room(s)
of sufficient volume so that the combined
volume of all connected spaces meets the
criteria for an unconfined space, (National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 1992, Section
5.3). Generally 50 ft 3 per 1,000 BTU input of
all operating appliances in the space.
• The heater and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
pipingsystemwhileperforminganytestsofthe
gas supply piping system at pressures in ex-
cess of ¹⁄₂ psig.
• The heater must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manualshut-offvalveduringanypressuretest-
ing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ¹⁄₂ psig.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a con-
fined space as a space whose volume is less
than 50 ft 3 per 1,000 BTU/Hr (4.8 m3 per kw)
of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space and an unconfined
space as a space whose volume is not less
than 50 ft 3 per 1,000 BTU/Hr (4.8 m3 per kw)
of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space. Rooms communicat-
ing directly with the space in which the appli-
ances are installed, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of
the unconfined space.
WARNING: THESE APPLIANCES ARE
DESIGNED TO OPERATE ON NATURAL
OR PROPANE GAS ONLY. THE USE OF
OTHER FUELS OR COMBINATION OF
FUELS WILL DEGRADE THE PERFOR-
MANCE OF THIS SYSTEM AND MAY BE
DANGEROUS.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for
servicing the heater must be replaced prior to
operating the heater.
• Keep heater area clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable vapors and liquids.
• Do not use these appliances if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a qualified
professional service technician to inspect the
applianceandtoreplaceanypartsofthecontrol
system and any gas control which have been
under water.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the
flu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If
you have these signs, obtain fresh air immedi-
ately. Turn off the gas supply to the heater and
have it serviced by a qualified professional, as
it may not be operating correctly.
Unusually tight construction is defined as con-
struction where:
• Test gage connections are provided on the
front of the gas control valve (identified A for
the manifold side and E for inlet pressure).
a. wall and ceilings exposed to the outside
atmosphere have a continuous water vapor
retarder with a rating or one perm or less with
openings gasketed or sealed, and
• Due to high temperatures, the heater should
be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Operation of these catalytic systems at alti-
tude will result in sporadic nuisance outages of
the pilot system due to lack of sufficient oxy-
gen, increasing in frequency as the altitude
increases above 4,500 feet. Although this
situation is not dangerous, pilot outages can-
not be tolerated.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazardofhighsurfacetemperaturesandshould
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
b. weather stripping has been added on oper-
able windows and doors, and

ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetra-
tions for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines,
and at other openings.
• Young children should be carefully super-
vised when they are in the same room with the
heater.
• These catalytic appliances are rated for
useataltitudesnogreaterthan5,500feet. Do
not install and use this appliance in locations
in excess of this altitude.
• Do not place clothing or other flammable
materialonorneartheheaterforthepurposeof

Use the following equations to determine if you
have a confined or unconfined space.
• Ensure that the heater is clean when operat-
ing. Excessivedustaccumulationontheburner
and logs will increase the amount of carbon
monoxide formation and could lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning and death.
• Installation and repair should be done by a
qualified service person. The heater should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a
professional service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is im-
portant that control compartments, burners
andcirculatingairpassagewaysoftheheaterbe
kept clean.

These appliances are uniquely suited for in-
stallations requiring a utility shelf positioned
directly above the fireplace. Utility shelves like
these are commonly used for locating televi-
sion sets and decorative plants.
a. Rework equations adding the space of ad-
joining room(s). If the extra volume pro-
vides an unconfined space, then remove

______ (volume of space – ft 3)/ 50 ft 3
=
(Maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)
To provide for the lowest possible shelf sur-
face, combustible materials used to support a
utility shelf directly above these appliances
should be positioned just above the appliance
top spacers. The minimum height from the
base of the appliance to the underside of
combustible materials used to construct a
utility shelf is 42 ³⁄₄” (1086 mm).
Example: 3072 ft 3 / 50 ft 3 = 40.96
or 40,960 BTU/Hr the space can support.
b. Vent room directly to the outdoors. Refer to
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 1992,
Section 5.3.
3. Add the BTU/Hr of all the fuel burning appli-
ances in the space.
If the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the
maximum BTU/Hr the space can support, then
the space is an unconfined space. You will
need no additional fresh air ventilation for an
unconfined space.

ERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
When first lighting the appliance, it will take a
few minutes for the line to purge itself of air.
Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner
will light and operate as indicated in the in-
struction manual. Subsequent lightings of the
appliance will not require such purging. In-
spect the pilot flame (remove logs, if neces-
sary, handling carefully).

To light the burner; turn “ON” the optional
remote wall switch (if installed) and rotate the
gas valve control knob counterclockwise to
the “ON” position.
The appliances covered in this manual are
heater rated and produce a great deal of heat.
Decorative brass trim pieces and hoods may
tarnish because of their proximity to the heater
opening and front face. Tarnishing of these
pieces is normal, unavoidable and should be
expected.
Remote Control Kit
The Model RCK adds the convenience of re-
mote control for your appliance. The kit in-
cludes a wireless, hand held transmitter and a
receiver that replaces the wall switch. This
special receiver permits either manual or re-
mote control modes. Both receiver and trans-
mitter operate on standard 9 volt batteries (not
included). RefertotheRCKinstallationinstruc-
tion for specific details.
Step 11. Installing the Glass Door –
Position the door frame in front of the firebox
opening, with the joint in the gasket down.
Locate the three (3) tabs at the bottom edge of
the door frame into the three (3) brackets at
the base of the fireplace front opening. Lean
the door frame back towards the fireplace
ensuring that the frame seats evenly as it
draws shut.
Forced Air Kit
The FAB-1100 assembly provides a forced air
circulation feature for your appliance. This kit
mounts directly into the lower intake chamber
with an electrical connection made at the re-
ceptacleprovided. Theappliancemusthavean
independent 120Vac power line incorporated
at the time of installation. Refer to Step 6 of the
installation instructions supplied with the
forced air kit (Figures 21 and 22 ).
Wall Switch Kit
An optional wall switch kit can be installed
along with all vent-free appliances. The kit
consists of a standard UL wall switch with
cover plate. This kit provides for remote (wall)
operation of the appliance. Replace the wall
switch and cover plate of this kit with the
components of the RCK and you can have true
remote control of your vent-free appliance,
turning it on and off from your favorite easy
chair. The wall switch kit should be installed
along with the appliance. Refer to Figure 13
andStep6fordetailedinstallationinstructions.
Install the three (3) ¹⁄₄"-20 x 1" Phillips pan
head screws removed previously and tighten
to secure. Ensure that the tab on the bottom of
the door frame engages the door switch.
Make sure the screws are tightened equally to
avoid torquing the door (Figure 20 ).
Optional on Unit Rocker Switch
An optional rocker switch kit can be installed
directly on all CFST and CFPF series appliances
to provide for On and Off operation in lieu of a
wall switch. This kit is designed to install in the
lower control compartment out of view and is
perfect for use in high volume areas such as
lobbiesandmodelhomeswherelimitedaccess
totheapplianceOn/Offswitchisdesirable. This
kit can be retrofitted to previously installed
appliances and may be temporarily installed in
place of other switch circuitry.

3. When lit for the first time, the appliance will
emit a slight odor for an hour or two. This is
due to the “burn-in” of the internal paints and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Additionally, when lit for the first time, this
appliance may produce smoke, this is normal
and should be expected. For the first few
hours, operate the appliance with doors and
windows open to encourage the dissipation of
smoke and fumes.
Remove the log assembly, gently handling by
holding each log at each end. Use a vacuum
cleanertoremovelooseparticlesfromthebase
and from around the burners. Gloves are rec-
ommended to prevent the fibers from pricking
your skin. If the skin is pricked, wash gently
with soap and water. Replace the logs as de-
tailed in Step 9 Assembling the Logs.
Decorative Arch Kits
Two arch kits are available for the CFST appli-
ance. A one piece complete door arch kit and a
four (4) piece arch frame kit. Both kits are easy
to install and do not require hardware to attach
them to the standard door frame. The four-
piece arch frame kitcanbeinstalled withoutthe
bottom or bottom and side pieces to customize
the look of your appliance. This kit can be
retrofitted to previously installed CFST appli-
ances. The decorative arches may not be used
in conjunction with the screen panel kit.
If, after a period of use, the flames start to
exhibit unusual shapes and behavior, or the
burners fail to ignite smoothly, then the burner
holes may require some cleaning. If this hap-
pens, it is preferable to contact your nearest
dealer to get the appliance serviced.

Gas Flex Line with Valve
5. Keep lower control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
More frequent cleanings may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding mate-
rials, etc. It is important that the control com-
partments, burners and circulating air pas-
sageways of the heater be kept clean.
A gas flex line kit is available to aid in attaching
the appliance to the gas supply. This kit can
only be used where local codes permit. The kit
includes a ¹⁄₂" NPT to ³⁄₈" flare in line shut-off
valve, a12"flexline³⁄₈"femaleflarethroughand
a ³⁄₈" flare to ³⁄₈" NPT fitting. The components of
this kit are rated for both natural and propane
gas. This kit is designed to be used as an aid in
installing the appliance.

Catalytic Gas Fireplace
Manufacturer's Limited Warranty 10 Years
THE WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants the components of this Catalytic Gas Fireplace manufactured by SFC, INC. (hereinafter, SFC) to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture.
REMEDY AND EXCLUSIONS
The coverage of this Warranty is limited to all components of the Catalytic Gas Fireplace manufactured by SFC. SFC warrants the components of this
factory-built system manufactured by SFC to be free from defects in material and workmanship at the time of manufacture.
1) During the first five years of this warranty, SFC will, at its option and except for the components listed in subparagraphs (a) through (e) below
provide replacement or repair components of the factory-built gas insert manufactured by SFC, at no charge, and will also pay for reasonable labor
costs incurred in replacing or repairing such components. If repair or replacement is not commercially practicable, SFC will, at its option, refund
the purchase price of the gas insert and chimney components and accessories. With respect to the components listed below, the remedies of this
paragraph (1) are available only for the period of time indicated. Thereafter, however, until the expiration of 10 years from the date of installation,
SFC will provide replacement parts at no charge but will not pay any labor costs. All replacement parts will be shipped F.O.B. factory.
(a) Gas logs, ember coals, brass-tone finishes, paint and fiber ceramic simulated brick side panels are not warranted with the exception of defects
in material or workmanship.
(b) Catalytic Gas Room Heater electrical components, such as fan motors and blowers, electrical cord and electrical switches – one year from the
date of installation.
(c) Gas components, such as gas valves, pilot assembly, igniter, micro door switch and CO Sensor kit – one year from the date of installation.
(d) Tempered glass – one year from the date of installation.
(e) Catalyst assembly – 2 years parts and labor, 3-5th. year, parts only from the date of installation.
This warranty covers only parts and labor as provided above. In no case shall SFC be responsible for materials, components, or construction which
are not manufactured or supplied by SFC, or for the labor necessary to install, repair or remove such materials, components or construction.
QUALIFICATIONS TO THE WARRANTY
The Catalytic Gas Room Heater Warranty outlined above is further subject to the following qualifications:
(1) The Catalytic Gas Room Heater must be installed in accordance with SFC installation instructions and local building codes. The Warranty on this
Catalytic Gas Room Heater covers only the component parts manufactured by SFC. The use of components manufactured by others with this
Catalytic Gas Room Heater (except for a listed venting system as prescribed in the installation instructions) could create serious safety hazards,
may result in the denial of certification by recognized national safety agencies, and could be in violation of local building codes. This Warranty
does not cover any damages occurring from the use of any components not manufactured or supplied by SFC.
(2) The Catalytic Gas Room Heater must be subjected to normal use. The gas inserts are designed to burn either natural or propane gas only. Burning
conventional fireplace fuels such as wood, coal, or any other solid fuel will cause damage to the gas insert, will produce excessive temperatures
and will result in a fire hazard.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
It is expressly agreed and understood that SFC sole obligation and purchaser’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, under any other warranty,
expressed or implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above.
In no event shall SFC be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in its products, whether such damage occurs
or is discovered before or after replacement or repair, and whether or not such damage is caused by SFC's negligence. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. The duration of
any implied warranty with respect to this SFC gas insert is limited to the duration of the foregoing warranty. Some states do not allow limitations
on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above may not apply to you.
INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS AGAINST WARRANTY
SFC reserves the right to investigate any and all claims against this Warranty and to decide upon method of settlement.
SUPERIOR FIREPLACE COMPANY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WORK DONE WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT
SFC shall in no event be responsible for any warranty work done without first obtaining SFC’s written consent.
DEALERS HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO ALTER THIS WARRANTY
SFC employees and dealers have no authority to make any warranties nor to authorize any remedies in addition to or inconsistent with those stated
above.

1110 West Taft Avenue, Orange, California 92865, as soon as reasonably possible after the defect is discovered. Claims against this Warranty in writing should
include the date of installation, and a description of the defect.
