The use of wallpaper adjacent to this  
fireplace is not recommended, as the  
high heat given off by this fireplace may  
adversely effect the binders in the adhe-  
sive used to apply the wallpaper.  
Mantels  
When the insert is being installed into a woodburning  
fireplace the minimum the mantel can be above the  
fireplace is governed by local building codes applicable  
to woodburning fireplaces. Consult local authorities  
having jurisdiction for these clearances.  
37¹⁄₄" (946mm)  
For applications requiring the use of a Zero Clearance  
Kit, the minimum a mantel can protrude above the  
fireplace is 24" (610mm) from the top of the upper  
louvres. The maximum mantel depth is 8" (200mm).  
(Fig. 2)

Framing & Finishing  
Combustion Air  
For Zero Clearance Kit applications it is important to  
determine the finished facing material before beginning  
to frame. This will allow for the thickness of the  
finishing material between the frame and the fireplace  
trim.  
It is very important that an adequate air supply is  
available when the unit is being operated. Since most  
homes of today are tightly sealed and insulated,  
additional make-up air is usually necessary.  
This fireplace has been designed to operate by  
drawing air in from the front and outer perimeters of  
the fireplace. The air provides combustion air ensuring  
a clean burning flame, dilution air for proper venting, as  
well as, the air which the fan circulates over the  
firebox/heat exchanger system.  
Similarily, consideration must be given to the 1"  
(25mm) depth of the air inlet channel sitting on the  
fireplace base. Finishing material for the hearth should  
be flush with the top of the air inlet channel.  
If the fireplace is installed at floor level a non-  
combustible hearth must extend a minimum 12"  
(305mm) in front of the fireplace.  
Insulating around the fireplace will result in overheating  
and possible malfunctioning of the circulating fan.  
If the fireplace is recessed into the wall and at least 12"  
(305mm) above floor level, no hearth is required.  
A (3" for RHE25, 4" for RHE32 and RHE42) diameter  
Class "B" vent must be used when installing the  
fireplace insert along with the Zero Clearance Kit. The  
vent system must be a minimum height of 12' (3.7m).

An alternate air supply is recommended  
with this component.  
For installations other than in existing woodburning  
fireplaces such as new construction or renovation  
projects, a Zero Clearance Kit must be used. The kit  
enables these inserts to be installed in combustible  
environments. It is recommended that an Air Kit  
(AKZC) be installed whenever using a Zero Clearance  
Kit. Consideration must be given to the dimensions of  
the Zero Clearance Kit and the requirements of the Air  
Kit when planning the installation.  
High Elevations  
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are  
certified without deration for elevations up to  
4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.  
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,  
installations must be in accordance with the  
current ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having  
jurisdiction.

Assembly and Mounting instructions on this manual.  
Test Chimney Draw  
A "Chimney Draw" test must be made before the  
installation is complete.  
Common Flue Installations  
In some areas it is possible to vent more than one gas  
fireplace into the same flue. You must ensure the flue  
being shared has the proper capacity to handle both  
fireplaces. Check installation codes for venting capacity  
information.  
1. Close all doors and windows in the home and start  
exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom.  
2. Light unit and operate for 5 minutes.  
3. Hold an ignited match or cigarette in front of the  
unit. Refer to Figure 11 for the location of the draft  
hood opening.  
4. Check to make sure smoke from the match or  
cigarette is drawn into the fireplace. If it is not, turn  
the unit off and check for causes creating the lack of  
adequate draft.  
As always it is best to check with the authority having  
jurisdiction prior to commencement of the installation.  
Liner Installation  
Insert liner from top of chimney through the damper  
opening and attach to 3" flue collar (for RHE25); 4" flue  
collar (for RHE32 & RHE42). For best results use  
three (3) sheet metal screws and a hose clamp.  
Test for Draft at This Location  
For natural draft inserts packing fibreglass insulation  
around the liner in the damper area will isolate the  
fireplace cavity from the chimney and prevent drafts  
and noises during operation.  
In case the fireplace opening is only minimum height  
(17¹⁄₂" for RHE25) (20" for RHE32) (22³⁄₄" for RHE42)  
and access from the front is not possible, remove the  
flue collar plate - unscrew and slide out from the back  
of the unit. Now attach the liner to the flue collar, lift up  
and simply slide flue collar plate back onto the unit top.  
It is important the plate is completely inserted and the  
front screw is fastened again in order to line up the flue  
outlet and the liner properly. (Fig. 10)  
FP1371  
Fig. 11 Hold an ignited match in front of fireplace.  
Vent Safety System  
These inserts are equipped with a vent safety shut  
down switch. This switch is factory installed, wired and  
tested. Check and make sure the switch and wires are  
in the proper position. The safety switch is heat acti-  
vated and wired in series with the pilot system. (Fig. 12)  
If fireplace lintel is wider than 8"  
(205mm), the height of the fireplace  
opening must be 25" (635mm) to allow  
for a 90° offset elbow to be installed.  
Bracket  
Draft Relief Opening  
This insert is equipped with a draft-relief opening which  
receives its dilution air supply through the opening  
behind the louvres. These openings must not be  
obstructed or altered in any way. (Fig. 11)

Glass Cleaning  
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically.  
During start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms  
on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and  
other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface.  
Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the  
glass. It is therefore recommended the glass be  
cleaned two or three times with a non-ammonia  
household cleaner and warm water (we recommend  
gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should  
be cleaned two or three times during each heating  
season depending on the circumstances present.  
6. Place front right log (JR3/KR3 or SR3) on top of  
burner, right side. Use log's bottom holes to locate  
it into the right bracket log locator studs.  
7. Place burner lava rock material on top of burner.  
(Refer to Figs. 17, 18 & 19 for proper location).  
8. Place top left log (JR5/KR5 or SR5) onto locator  
notches. Ensure log is secure.  
9. Place top right log (JR6/KR6 or SR6) onto locator  
notches. Ensure log is secure.  
Top logs must be placed properly into  
notches.  
Clean glass after first two weeks of  
operation.  
Glass Frame Removal  
1. Remove the top louvre. (Refer to "Louvre Removal"  
section)  
2. Open the access door.  
3. Remove two (2) machine screws from the bottom of  
glass frame. (Fig. 16)  
4. Lift up and unhook glass frame at the top.

NOTE: Before trouble shooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the “On” position.  
WARNING: Before doing any gas control service work, remove glass front.  
SYMPTOM  
POSSIBLE CAUSES  
CORRECTIVE ACTION  
1.Spark ignitor will not light  
A. Defective or misaligned  
electrode at pilot.  
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off  
pilot and push the red button again. If pilot will not  
light - check gap at electrode and pilot-should be  
1/8" to have a strong spark.  
B. Defective ignitor (Push Button)  
Push Piezo Ignitor Button. Check for spark at  
electrode and pilot. If no spark to pilot, and elec  
trode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.  
2.Pilot will not stay lit after  
carefully following lighting  
instructions.  
A. Defective pilot generator  
(thermocouple), remote wall  
switch.  
Check pilot flame. Must impinge on thermo  
couple/thermopile. Note: this pilot burner assem  
bly utilizes both-a thermocouple and a thermopile.  
The thermocouple operates the main valve  
operation (On and Off). Clean and or adjust pilot for  
maximum flame impingement on thermopile and  
thermocouple.  
B. Defective automatic valve  
Turn valve knob to “Pilot”. Maintain flow to pilot;  
milivolt meter should read greater than 10 mV. If  
the reading is okay and the pilot does not stay on,  
replace the gas valve. Note: An interrupter block  
(not supplied) must be used to conduct this test.  
3.Pilot burning, no gas to  
main burner  
A. Wall switch or wires defective  
Check wall switch and wires for proper connec  
tions. Jumper wire accross terminals at wall  
switch, if burner comes on, replace defective wall  
switch. If okay, jumper wires across wall switch  
wires at valve, if burner comes on, wires are faulty  
or connections are bad.  
B. Thermopile may not be  
generating sufficient  
millivoltage.  
1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at  
gas valve terminals are tight and thermopile is  
fully inserted into pilot bracket.  
2. One of the wall switch wires may be grounded.  
Remove wall switch wires from valve terminals if  
pilot now stays lit, trace wall switch wiring for  
ground. May be grounded to fireplace or gas  
supply.  
3. Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take  
reading at thermopile terminals of gas valve.  
Should read 250-300 millivolts (minimum 150)  
while holding valve knob depressed in pilot  
position and wall switch “Off”. Replace faulty  
thermopile if reading is below specified minimum.  
C. Plugged burner orifice.  
Check burner orifices for debris and remove.  
D. Defective automatic valve  
operator.  
Turn valve knob to “On”, place wall switch to “On”  
millivolt meter should read greater than 100 mV. If  
the reading is okay and the burner does not come  
on, replace the gas valve.  
4.Frequent pilot outage  
problem.  
A. Pilot flame may be too low  
or blowing (high) causing the  
pilot safety to drop out.  
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame  
impingement on thermopile and thermocouple.  
B. Possible blockage of the vent  
terminal.  
Check the vent terminal for blockage (recycling the  
flue gases)

Maintenance  
Burner and Burner Compartment  
Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or  
lint accumulation. If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly  
may be required to remove any foreign material from  
the orifice or tubing.  
It is important to keep the burner and the burner  
compartment clean. At least once per year the logs and  
lava rock/ember material should be removed and the  
burner compartment vacuumed and wiped out. Remove  
and replace the logs as per the instructions in this  
manual.  
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative the pilot and  
burner's flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or  
floating.  
Always handle the logs with care as they  
are fragile and may also be hot if the  
fireplace has been in use.  
Typically, the top 1/8" of the thermopile should be  
engulfed in the pilot flame. (Page 13, Fig. 25)  
Brass Cleaning  
Fan Assembly  
Clean the brass trim with a soft clean cloth, slightly  
dampened with lemon oil and buff with a soft dry cloth.  
Do not use brass polish or household cleaners as these  
products will damage the trim. Lemon oil can be  
obtained at supermarkets or hardware stores.  
The fan unit requires periodic cleaning. At least once  
per month in the operating season, open the lower  
louvre panels and wipe or vacuum the area around the  
fan to remove any build up of dust or lint.  
Cleaning the Standing Pilot  
Control System  
The burner and control system consists of:  
• main burner  
• gas orifice  
• pilot burner  
• thermopile  
• combination millivolt gas valve  
Most of these components may require only an occa-  
sional checkup and cleaning and some may require  
adjustment. If repair is necessary, it should be per-  
formed by a qualified technician.  
In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly,  
turn off the gas to the unit, remove the window frame  
panel and logs exposing the burner and pilot assembly.  
Clean all foreign materials from the top of the burner.  
Check to make sure that burner parts are clean.
