MANTELS  
CLEARANCES  
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.  
Combustible mantel clearances from louver are shown in the diagram below.  
The clearances listed below are Minimum  
distances unless otherwise stated:  
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made  
of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.  
A major cause of chimney related fires is  
failure to maintain required clearances (air  
space) to combustible materials. It is of the  
greatest importance that this fireplace and  
vent system be installed only in accordance  
with these instructions.

VENTING  
INTRODUCTION  
1) The top standoffs are shipped installed.  
The P42 uses the "balanced flue" technology  
Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products  
of combustion to the outside while the outer  
liner draws outside combustion air into the  
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the  
needtouseheatedroomairforcombustionand  
losing warm room air up the chimney.  
2) The Top Facing Support and the 2 Side  
Nailing Strips can be installed at different  
depthsdependingonthewidthofyourfacing.  
Match the depths of the top facing support  
and the side nailing strips.  
a) Mount Top Facing Support using the 3  
supplied screws into the 3 pre-punched  
screw holes on the top front of the unit.  
See Diagrams 2 & 3 for the proper  
position of the Top Facing Support for  
the various material depths.  
Note: These flue pipes must not be  
connected to any other appliance.  
The gas appliance 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.  
Eachdirectventgasappliancemustuseit'sown  
separate vent system. Common vent systems  
are prohibited.  
VENT RESTRICTOR  
A vent restrictor may be required. Check  
the diagrams in the "Rigid Pipe Venting  
Arrangements" section to determine if the #6  
restrictor is needed for your vent configuration.  
If required, attach the 2 piece #6 restrictor  
using 4 screws per piece to the inside top of  
the firebox.

3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to  
the same degree as the rest of the house,  
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per  
local installation codes. (Do not insulate  
the fireplace itself.)  
4) The top louvers must not be closer than  
36" (914mm) to the ceiling.

INSTALLATION  
RIGID PIPE VENTING  
Horizontal or Vertical Terminations  
The Rigid Pipe Venting System offers a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations. Many items are  
offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized finish. We recommend using the galvanized finish for installation with the P42.  
Wall thickness is measured from the back  
Alternate  
Horizontal  
Termination Caps  
The minimum components required for a basic  
horizontal termination are:  
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of  
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl  
furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl  
siding standoff, to create a level surface to  
mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must  
not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall  
thickness including furring strips.

to push heated air farther into the room. It is not  
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound  
when ON. This sound will increase or decrease  
in volume depending on the speed setting of  
your fan speed control.  
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if  
service is to be performed.  
FIRST FIRE  
5) The appliance and venting system must be  
inspected before use, and at least annually,  
by an authorized field service person, to  
ensure that the flow of combustion and  
ventilation air is not obstructed.  
Burner Tray:  
The first fire in your fireplace is part of the  
paint curing process. To ensure that the paint  
is properly cured, it is recommended that you  
burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the  
first time you use it with the fan on. When first  
operated, the unit will release an odour caused  
by the curing of the paint, the burning off of  
any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke  
detectors in the house may go off at this time.  
Open a few windows to ventilate the room for  
a couple of hours.  
The burner tray is positioned directly under the  
burner tube and logs and is made of a different  
gauge material from the rest of the firebox and  
body.Therefore,thevaryingthicknessesofsteel  
will expand and contract at slightly different  
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"  
sounds. You should also be aware that as there  
are temperature changes within the unit these  
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal  
for steel fireboxes.  
6) Verify proper operation after servicing.  
Note: Neveroperatetheappliancewithout  
the glass properly secured in  
place.  
Blower Thermodisc:  
The glass panel may require cleaning after the  
unit has cooled down.  
When this thermally activated switch turns ON  
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the  
switch contacts closing and is normal.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE  
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.  
Pilot Flame:  
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very  
slight "whisper" sound.  
Gas Control Valve:
