4. Never install the replace

• in a recreational vehicle

• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other am-

mable objects are less than 36" from the front, top,

or sides of the replace

• in high trafc areas

• in windy or drafty areas

5. This replace reaches high temperatures. Keep children

and adults away from hot surfaces to avoid burns or

clothing ignition. Fireplace will remain hot for a time after

shutdown. Allow surfaces to cool before touching.

6. Carefully supervise young children when they are in

the room with replace.

7. Do not modify replace under any circumstances. Any

parts removed for servicing must be replaced prior to

operating replace.

8. Turn replace off and let cool before servicing, install-

ing, or repairing. Only a qualied service person should

install, service, or repair the replace. Have burner

system inspected annually by a qualified service

person.

9. You must keep control compartments, burners, and

circulating air passages clean. More frequent cleaning

may be needed due to excessive lint and dust. Turn off

the gas valve and pilot light before cleaning replace.

10. Have venting system inspected annually by a qualied

service person. If needed, have venting system cleaned

or repaired. Refer to Cleaning and Maintenance, Page

38.

11. Keep the area around your replace clear of combus-

tible materials, gasoline, and other ammable vapor and

liquids. Do not run replace where these are used or

stored. Do not place items such as clothing or decora-

tions on or around replace.

12. Do not use this replace to cook food or burn paper or

other objects.

13. Never place anything on top of replace.

This replace is a vented product. This replace must be

properly installed by a qualied service person. The glass

door must be properly seated and sealed. If this unit is not

properly installed by a qualied service person with glass

door properly seated and sealed, combustion leakage can

occur.

 Early signs of carbon

monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with headaches,

dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the re-

place may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air

at once! Have the replace inspected and serviced by a

qualied service person. Some people are more affected

by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant

women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia,

those under the inuence of alcohol, and those at high

altitudes.

Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An

odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The

odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added

to these gases can fade. Gas may be present even though

no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep

this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper

operation of this replace.

1. This appliance is only for use with the type of gas

indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not

convertible for use with other gases unless a certied

kit is used.

2. For propane/LP replace, do not place propane/LP

supply tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane/LP

supply tank(s) outdoors. To prevent performance prob-

lems, do not use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100

lbs. capacity.

3. If you smell gas

• shut off gas supply.

• do not try to light any appliance.

• do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any

phone in your building .

• immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s

phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

Read this homeowner manual thoroughly and follow all instructions carefully. Inspect all con-

tents for shipping damage and immediately inform your dealer if any damage is found. Do

not install any unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts. Check your packing list to

verify that all listed parts have been received.

The following factors should be taken into consideration:

• This insert should have sufcient access for its safe operation and maintenance.

• The ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

• Minimum clearances to combustibles, such as mantels, must be maintained. Refer to Pages

8 and 9, Figures 3 and 4.

• Never obstruct the front opening of the insert.

• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other ammable liquids may be stored.

• These units can be installed in a bedroom. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/

NFPA 54 (current edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code (current edition), and Local Build-

ing Codes for specic installation requirements.

It is not unusual for your insert to give off some odor the

Consult local building codes before beginning the installa-

tion. The installer must make sure to select the proper vent

system for installation. Before installing vent kit, the installer

must read this insert manual and vent kit instructions.

Only a qualied installer/service person should install vent-

ing system. The installer must follow these safety rules:

• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.

• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when

on rooftops.

• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and

ceiling.

The following actions will void the warranty on your vent-

ing system:

• Installation of any damaged venting component.

• Unauthorized modication of the venting system.

• Installation of any component part not manufactured

or approved by MHSC.

• Installation other than permitted by these instruc-

tions.

Make sure you have the items listed below before installing appliance.

• External regulator (supplied by installer) • Piping (check local codes) • Test gauge connection*

• Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas) • Sediment trap (optional but recommended)

• Tee joint • Pipe wrench

• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes — not provided)

* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test

gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will

reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of wa-

ter. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external

regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 11. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing

rain or sleet.

NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of the appliance. Figure 12

 The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the insert.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for

locating equipment shutoff valve to inserts.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to threads. This will prevent

excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe

could result in clogged burner system valves.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in

supply line as shown in Figure 12. Locate sediment trap/drip

leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner

system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment

trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into the burner system

gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may

not run properly.

NOTE : The gas line connection may be made using 1/2" rigid tubing or an approved

ex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best

to consult your local authorities and the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code

ANSI.Z223.1, NFPA54. In Canada CSA-B149 (1 or 2) Installation Code.

1. Check gas type. The gas supply must be the same as

stated on the appliance’s rating decal. If the gas supply

is different from the replace,  Do not install the

appliance. Contact your dealer immediately.

2. To ease installation, a 24" (610 mm) ex line with manual

shut-off valve has been provided with on this appliance.

Install and attach 1/2" gas line onto shut-off valve.

3. After completing gas line connection, purge air from

gas line and test all gas joints from the gas meter to

the replace for leaks. Use a solution of 50/50 water

and soap solution or a gas sniffer.

4. To check gas pressures at valve, turn captured screw

counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing

to pressure gauge over test point. Turn unit to high.

Figure 13. After taking pressure reading, be sure and

turn captured screw clockwise rmly to reseal. Do not

over torque. Check test points for gas leaks.
