I. Control Module Operation
MODULE
1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 2.1.
OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code.
SELECTOR
SWITCH
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI flame setting, with no adjustment in flame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands
from an optional wired wall switch and/or the wireless
remote (RC300AU).
FLAME HI/LOW
SWITCH
STATUS
INDICATOR LED
NG/LP GAS-TYPE
SELECTOR SWITCH
Figure 2.1 Control Module
2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the flame output can be adjusted with the HI/
LO selector switch on the module. See Figure 2.3.
Note that the flame HI/LO selector switch will become
inactive once an optional remote control (RC300AU) is
programmed to the control module. Note that the control
module will always ignite the fireplace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the flame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the flame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the flame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.
3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the fireplace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the
RC300AU remote.
4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300AU remote control to operate your
fireplace, the wall switch will override any commands
given by the remote.
5. The module has the capability to recognize potential
malfunctions. If these occur, it will fail to ignite and/
or respond to a command to ignite via the wall switch
and/or remote. In this case, the module may have
gone into LOCK-OUT mode. In this state, it will emit
a LED error code. To reset the error code, switch the
selector to OFF, and then back to REMOTE or ON. If
the ignition command again fails, the module will emit
an LED error code, prior to going back into LOCK-OUT
mode. Contact your dealer for service if this occurs.
Note: If the module is in LOCK-OUT mode, resetting the
circuit breaker to the appliance will also reset the module.

ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this con-
densation will disappear.
Condensation on the glass
Blue flames
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from finishing materials
and adhesives used near the fireplace. These circumstances may require additional curing related
to the installation environment.
Odor from fireplace
Film on the glass
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4
hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be neces-
sary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the
sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity
of the fireplace.

the stove.
• Appliance performance will suffer if specifications are not
followed.
DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED FLUE COMPO-
NENTS. Refer to the flue manufacturer’s instructions.
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal flue aspects
when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical as-
pect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see Figure 7.1).
This product is approved to be flued either horizontally,
through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You may
flue through a Class A or masonry chimney if an approved
adapter is used.
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow.
On 45º runs, 12 in. (305 mm) of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2
in. (216 mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) vertical
run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º
elbows (see Figure 7.1).
This gas stove is a balanced flue gas stove. All combus-
tion air must come directly from the outside of the building.
The flue pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an outer
pipe. The inner pipe carries the gas stove exhaust out of
the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh combustion air
into the gas stove.
• A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is
required when the flueing passes through a combustible
wall.
• A support box or ceiling firestop is required when the
flueing passes through a combustible ceiling.

Note: Align seams to engage pipe,
then rotate counterclockwise to lock
Figure 7.12
Step 1.
Balanced flue pipe is designed with a locking connection.
To connect the flue system to the gas stove flue outlet:
• Lock the flue components into place by sliding the pipe
section onto the collar.
Figure 7.13
• Align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow
engagement. Rotate the flue component to lock into
place. Use this procedure for all flue components. See
Figure 7.12.
Step 2.
For installations using a round support box/wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for
a 9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm) square hole. The center
of the square hole should line up with the center line of
the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the hole in the exterior
wall where the flue will be terminated. If the wall being
penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, i.e.
masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178 mm) diameter
hole is acceptable.
• Continue adding flue components, locking each
succeeding component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding flue component is securely
fitted and locked into the preceding component.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Step 3.
Explosion Risk.
Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of the
9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm) square hole and run a
bead of non-hardening mastic around its outside edges,
to make a seal between it and the wall. Attach termination
cap to the exterior wall with the four wood screws pro-
vided. The arrow on the flue cap should be pointing up.
Combustion Fume Risk.
Use flue run supports per installation instructions.
Connect flue sections per installation instructions.
• Maintain all clearances to combustibles.
• Do NOT allow flue to sag below connection
point to gas stove.
• Maintain specified slope (if required).
Improper support may allow flue to sag or separate.

1. Assembling Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Figure 7.17
Attach the heat shield to the trim ring with the four screws
provided. Screws go through the heat shield and into the
brackets on the trim ring.
2. Installing Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Measure from the floor to the center of the flue pipe. Cut
out a 9-1/2 in. (240 mm) hole in the wall. Hold the trim
ring/heat shield assembly in place and put a mark on the
shield with a black marker where it protrudes through the
exterior wall. Figure A on the previous page.
Use that mark as a guide to trim off excess heat shield
with a pair of sheet metal shears.
Figure 7.15
Lay the trim ring on flat surface and bend up the six
welded brackets into a 90 degree position. The brackets
along the outer edge of the ring are for locating the ring in
the center of the hole.
Figure 7.18
When installing the trim ring/heat shield assembly make
sure the trim ring is centered in the hole and that the
shield is above the pipe. There must be a minimum of 20
mm minimum clearance maintained to combustibles from
the top of the heat shield.
Figure 7.16
Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a minimum
inner framing diameter of 9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm).
The heat shield is shipped flat and must be hand bent into
a half circle before attaching it to the trim ring. Bend the
heat shield as shown.
The four trim ring mounting screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, con-
crete, or other types of sidings.

Set the gas stove in its desired location. Drop a plumb
bob down from the ceiling to the position of the gas stove
flue exit, and mark the location where the flue will pen-
etrate 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 flue will pen-
etrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or
other framing will obstruct the flueing system. You may
wish to relocate the gas stove, or to offset, as shown in
Figure 7.21 to avoid cutting load bearing members.
Step 1.
Check the installation instructions for required 10 in. (254
mm) clearances (air space) to combustibles when pass-
ing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters,
or other nearby combustible surfaces. (See Figure 7.19).
Check the instructions for maximum vertical rise of the
flueing system, and any maximum horizontal offset limita-
tions. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of the
flueing diagrams located in Section 7.
NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 38 ft. (11.58 m)

Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the
flue (before adding the termination cap) meets the mini-
mum local code requirements. Note that for steep roof
pitches, the flue height must be increased. See Roof
Pitch Table (Figure 4.3). 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 flue height or switching to the
high wind termination cap may solve this problem.

Step 4.
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows neces-
sary to reach from the gas stove up through the round sup-
port box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are
in their fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.
Step 8.
Step 5.
Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to
the top of the flashing (Figure 7.24). Use non-hardening
sealant above and below the joint between the storm
collar and the pipe.
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 com-
bustibles, as specified. Continue to assemble lengths
of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling
support box/wall thimble up through the roof line. Galva-
nized 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
(compared to black pipe).
SECURE FLASHING WITH
NON-HARDENING SEALANT
AND ROOFING NAILS
NOTE:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstruc-
tions, it is important to support the flue pipe every
91.4cm to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and
possible separation. Wall straps are available for this
purpose, Figure 7.10, page 15.
(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 over-
laps the top edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 7.23.
Verify that the chimney is the required height above the
roof. See roof pitch table, Figure 4.3.

I. Vertical Flue Restrictor
If the fireplace installation requires a vertical flue off the
top of the unit with no horizontal flue or elbows, the vertical
flue restrictor must be added. Reinstall heat shield when
completed. See Figure 7.26.
Twist-lock the flue cap and seal.
Note: Formulti-storyverticalinstallations,aceilingfirestop

• Between wall shield firestops
• Around vent system
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from
vent pipe may cause over heating and fire.
• The opening must be framed on all four sides using the
same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction.
• SLP pipe - A wall shield firestop must be placed on each
side of an interior wall. A minimum 1-1/2 inch (38 mm)
overlap of attached heat shields must be maintained.
Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).
• If wall thickness is less than 4 in. (102 mm) the existing heat shields must be field
trimmed.

E. Control Module Operation
MODULE
1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 12.4.
OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code.
SELECTOR
SWITCH
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI flame setting, with no adjustment in flame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands
from an optional wired wall switch and/or the wireless
remote (RC300AU).

2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the flame output can be adjusted with the HI/
LO selector switch on the module. See Figure 12.4.
Note that the flame HI/LO selector switch will become
inactive once an optional remote control (RC300AU) is
programmed to the control module. Note that the control
module will always ignite the fireplace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the flame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the flame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the flame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.
3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the fireplace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the
RC300AU remote.
4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300AU remote control to operate your
fireplace, the wall switch will override any commands
given by the remote.
5. The module has the capability to recognize potential
malfunctions. If these occur, it will fail to ignite and/
or respond to a command to ignite via the wall switch
and/or remote. In this case, the module may have
gone into LOCK-OUT mode. In this state, it will emit
a LED error code. To reset the error code, switch the
selector to OFF, and then back to REMOTE or ON. If
the ignition command again fails, the module will emit
an LED error code, prior to going back into LOCK-OUT
mode. Contact your dealer for service if this occurs.
Note: If the module is in LOCK-OUT mode, resetting the
circuit breaker to the appliance will also reset the module.
