1. This fireplace gives off high temperatures and should be  
located out of high traffic areas and away from furniture  
and draperies.  
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the  
high surface temperatures of this fireplace and should stay  
away to avoid burns or ignition of clothing.  
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6  
3. Children should be carefully supervised when in the same  
room as your fireplace.  
IMPORTANT:  
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY  
4. Under no circumstances should this fireplace be modified.  
Parts removed for servicing should be replaced prior to  
operating this fireplace again.  
5. Installation and any repairs to this fireplace must be  
performed by a qualified installer, service agency or gas  
supplier. A professional service person should be contacted  
to inspect this fireplace annually. Make it a practice to have  
all of your gas fireplaces checked annually. More frequent  
cleaning may be required due to excess lint and dust from  
carpeting, bedding material, etc.  
6. Control compartments, burners and air passages in this  
fireplace should be kept clean and free of dust and lint.  
Make sure the gas valve and pilot light are turned off be-  
fore you attempt to clean this fireplace.  
7. The venting system (chimney) of this fireplace should be  
checked at least once a year and if needed your venting  
system should be cleaned.  
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the  
fireplace ON.  
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off  
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the  
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found  
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine. It is  
not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor  
the first time it is burned. This is due to the manufactur-  
ing process.  
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated  
-open all windows.  
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at  
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the op-  
tional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in  
the “OFF” position during this time.  
8. Keep the area around your fireplace clear of combustible  
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapor and liquids.  
This fireplace should not be used as a drying rack for cloth-  
ing, nor should Christmas stocking or decorations be hung  
in the area of it.  
9. Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood,  
coal, paper or cardboard etc.) be used in this fireplace.  
10. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be  
obstructed in any way.  
11. When fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or  
any combustible material other than wood, this fireplace  
must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the  
full width and depth of the fireplace.  
12. This fireplace requires adequate ventilation and combustion  
air to operate properly.  
13. This fireplace must not be connected to a chimney flue  
serving a separate solid fuel burning fireplace.  
14. When the fireplace is not in use it is recommended that the  
gas valve be left in the OFF position.

To mount the appliance:  
1. Choose the location.  
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.  
2. Nailing flanges are supplied with the fireplace (found  
on the fireplace hearth). To level the box and secure  
it firmly in place, remove the nailing flanges from  
the hearth and install at the sides of the fireplace as  
shown in Figure 5.  
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,  
installations must be in accordance with the  
current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes  
having jurisdiction.  
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local  
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at  
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).

Fig. 5 Nailing flanges.  
The gas line connection can be made with 3/8” copper  
tubing, 1/2” rigid pipe or an approved flex connector.  
Since some municipalities have additional local codes,  
it is always best to consult your local authority and the  
CSA-B149.1 installation codes. For US installations  
consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI  
Z223.1/NFPA 54.  
Final Finishing  
Noncombustible materials such as brick and tile can be  
extended over the black face of the unit (Do not cover  
the glass door.) If a Trim Kit is to be installed, brick and  
tile will have to be installed flush with the side of this  
appliance.

General Venting  
Your fireplace is approved to be vented either through  
the side wall, or vertical through the roof.  
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes,  
garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within  
24” from the front of the termination hood.  
Only CFM Corporation venting components spe-  
cifically approved and labelled for this fireplace  
may be used.  
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow  
or ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termi-  
nation area after snow falls, and clear to prevent ac-  
cidental blockage of venting system. When using snow  
blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent  
termination area.

When using CFM Corporation twist-lock pipe, it is not  
necessary to use silicone to seal the twist-lock joints.  
The only areas that need silicone are the collars on the  
fireplace, the telescoping pipe (if used) and the hori-  
zontal termination connection (when necessary). The  
female (flared) end secures to the fireplace first with the  
male end away from the fireplace.

requirements for snorkels.  
Rear Wall Vent Applications  
When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be  
vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall  
behind the appliance.  
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal  
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this  
dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 18),  
locate the point intersecting with the slanted graph  
line.  
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical  
line to the bottom of the graph.  
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the  
fireplace in accordance with same.  
Only CFM Corporation venting components are ap-  
proved to be used in these applications (See ‘Venting  
Components’ listed for different installation require-  
ments).  
The maximum horizontal distance between the rear  
of the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a  
corner application) and the outside face of the rear  
wall is 20” (508mm). (Fig. 19, 20 )  
EXAMPLE A:  
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 11  
feet (3352 mm) the horizontal run to the face of the  
outer wall must not exceed 14’ (4267 mm).  
Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.  
Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com-  
bustible materials are as follows:  
EXAMPLE B:  
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7’  
(2133mm), the horizontal run to the face of the outer  
wall must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2590 mm).

Step 4  
Combustible Walls: Cut a 10³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈” W (265 mm  
x 240 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as  
shown. (Fig. 21)  
Install the 4” (102 mm) vent to the appliance collar and  
secure with three (3) sheet metal screws. Install the 7”  
(175 mm) vent pipe to the appliance collar and secure  
with three (3) sheet metal screws. It is not necessary to  
seal this connection. If a 45° elbow is being used attach  
the elbow to the appliance in the same manner then at-  
tach the venting to the elbow.  
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening should be 7¹⁄₂”  
(191 mm) diameter.  
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for  
combustible walls.  
It is critical that there is no downward  
slope away from the appliance when con-  
necting the vent or elbow.  
Step 2  
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve  
parts to proper length (Maximum 12” / 305mm). As-  
semble sleeve to its maximum opening (10³⁄₈” x 9³₈”)  
and attach to firestop assembly. (Fig. 22)  
Step 5  
Guide the venting through the vent hole as you place  
the appliance in its installed position. Guide the 4”  
(102 mm) and 7” (175 mm) collar of the vent termina-  
tion into the outer ends of the venting. Do not force  
the termination. If the vent pipes do not align with the  
termination, remove and realign the venting at the appli-  
ance flue collars. (Fig. 23) Attach the termination to the  
wall as outlined in the instruction sheet supplied with  
the termination.  
Step 3  
Measure the horizontal length requirement for the vent-  
ing including a 2” (51 mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow  
to the outside wall face plus 2” (51 mm). (Fig. 20)

Rear Wall Vent Installations -  
Flex Vent Pipe  
The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between ver-  
tical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to deter-  
mine the various dimensions allowable.  
Follow Steps 1 and 2 on Page 14.  
Step 3  
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and com-  
bustible materials is 1” (25 mm) on top, bottom and  
sides unless otherwise noted.  
Install the 4” (102 mm) flex vent pipe to the appliance  
collars described in “General Information Assembling  
Vent Pipes”, Page 12. If the installation requires a 45°  
angle, grasp the vent pipe close to the appliance collar  
and bend to 45°. DO NOT exceed 45°. (Fig. 24)  
When vent termination exits through foundations less  
than 20” (508mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe  
must flush up with the siding.  
It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that mini-  
mizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.  
Termination  
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent  
pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace (or the top of  
the Transition Elbow) to the face of the outer wall.  
Flex Section  
Appliance Collars  
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this  
portion of the vent assembly.  
When installing the appliance as a rear  
vent unit, the 90° or 45° Transition Elbow  
attached directly to the rear of the unit is  
NOT INCLUDED in the following criteria  
and calculations, and unless specifically  
mentioned should be ignored when calcu-  
lating venting layouts.  
The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall  
installation is three (3). (Fig. 26)  
FP1473  
Fig. 24 Grasp the vent pipe close to the collar and bend to  
45° angle. Do not exceed 45°.  
If a 90° elbow is fitted directly on top of the fireplace  
flange the maximum horizontal vent run before the  
termination or a vertical rise is 36” (914mm). (Fig.  
27)  
Install the 7” vent pipe in the same manner as Step 2.  
NOTE: There must be a 1” (25 mm) rise in 24”  
(610 mm) length of flex vent.  
Step 4  
Assemble the flex vent to the collars on the termination  
as you did on the appliance.

7” collars into their respective vent pipes. Double check  
that the vent pipes overlap the collars by 2” (51 mm).  
Secure the termination to the wall with screws provided  
and caulk around the wall plate to weatherproof. As an  
alternative to screwing the termination directly to the  
wall, you may also use expanding plugs or an approved  
exterior construction adhesive. You may also attach the  
termination with screws through the inner body into the  
4” vent pipe, however for this method, you must extend  
the 4” pipe approximately 6” (152 mm) beyond the outer  
face of the wall.  
Install the 4” (102 mm) flex vent pipe to the appliance  
collar as described on Page 12. Secure the end with the  
first spring 6³⁄₄” (172 mm) from the flex pipe end to the

Do not back fill around snorkel.  
Below Grade Installation  
A clearance of at least 4” must be main-  
tained between the snorkel and the soil.  
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal  
clearances of 12” (305 mm) above grade level, a snorkel  
kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down  
to 7” (178 mm) below grade level. The 7” (178 mm) is  
measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it  
penetrates through the wall.  
If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not  
supplied) for securing lower portion of the snorkel. Fas-  
ten brackets to wall first, then secure to snorkel with self  
drilling #8 x 1/2 sheet metal screws. It will be necessary  
to extend vent pipes out as far as the protruding wall  
face. (Fig. 38)  
Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are ob-  
served. If venting system is installed below ground,  
we recommend a window well with adequate and  
proper drainage to be installed around the termina-  
tion area.  
If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24” (610 mm) vertical  
rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the  
24” vertical pipe is 36” (914 mm). This measurement  
is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition  
elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall  
Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical  
exceeds 24” (610 mm).

Install window well (not supplied). Refill hole with 12”  
(305mm) of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of ap-  
proximately 4” (102 mm) below snorkel. (Fig. 37)

Vertical Through-the-Roof Applications  
This gas fireplace has been approved for:  
3. Install vent system.  
Vertical installations up to 40’ (12m) in height. Up  
to a 10’ (3 m) horizontal vent run can be installed  
within the vent system using a maximum of two 90°  
elbows. (Fig. 41)  
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent  
pipe coming through the wall.  
5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied)  
around the 4” and 7” snorkel collars.  
Up to two 45° elbows may be used within the hori-  
zontal run. For each 45° elbow used on the horizon-  
tal plane, the maximum horizontal length must be  
reduced by 18” (450mm).  
6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to  
the wall.  
7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4” (102 mm) clear-  
ance below snorkel. (Fig. 37)

Troubleshooting the Gas Control System  
SIT NOVA 820 MILLIVOLT VALVE  
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  
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot  
and burner’s flame characteristics are steady, not lifting  
or floating.  
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.  
Typically, the top 3/8” or 1/2” of the thermopile should  
be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Fig. 71)  
To adjust pilot burner; (by qualified service technician)  
1. Remove pilot adjustment cap.  
Always handle the logs with care as they  
are fragile and may also be hot if the  
fireplace has been in use.  
2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame.  
3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.  
The primary air shutter is set at factory and should only  
be adjusted, if necessary, by a qualified service techni-  
cian.  
FK12 Fan Assembly  
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.  
3/8” - 1/2”  
Brass Trim  
Clean the brass trim pieces using a soft cloth lightly  
dampened with lemon oil. Do not use water or  
household cleaners on any brass components.  
Contact your local representative to arrange an annual  
service program.
