FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS STOVE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY!
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water
column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for
propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water
column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for
propane. Manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5
inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water
column for propane. For elevations between 2,000 and
4,500 feet above sea level, this fireplace must be de-rated
by 10% using the certified high altitude kit. When the
fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the
absense of specific recommendations from the local
authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude input
rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional
1,000ft.
Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more
evident in natural gas than in propane. Expansion / con-
traction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles
are normal and to be expected.
CDVS500: Maximum input is 44,000 BTU/hr for natural
gas and 40,000 BTU/hr for propane. Maximum output for
natural gas is 37,000 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 84% with
the fan on; Maximum output for propane is 34,400 BTU/hr
at an efficiency of 86% with the fan on. Maximum A.F.U.E.
(annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 77% for natural
gas and 79% for propane. This stove is not approved for
closet or recessed installations. It is approved for
bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting room installations and
is suitable for mobile homes. The natural gas model is
suitable for installation in a mobile home that is perma-
nently positioned on its site and fueled with natural gas.
CS500: Maximum input is 44,000 BTU/hr for
natural gas and 40,000 BTU/hr for propane.
Maximum output for natural gas is 31,200 BTU/
hr at an efficiency of 77% with the fan on and
71% with the fan off; and 30,000 BTU/hr for
propane at an efficiency of 78% with the fan on and 73%
with the fan off. Minimum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization
efficiency) rating is 65% for natural gas and 67% for pro-
pane. This stove is approved for bedroom and bed-sitting
room installations.
THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SER-
VICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local
codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and
it is important to know the specifics that apply to your area,
for example: in Massachusetts State:
• The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in the open
position prior to installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.
• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or
bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion
product.
• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-B149
Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States. Mobile
home installation must conform with local codes or in the
absence of local codes, install to the current standard for
gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series
in Canada or ANSI Z223.1and NFPA 54 in the United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove
opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before closing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several min-
utes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
All horizontal runs must have a ¼ inch rise per foot.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
The stove and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pres-
sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/
2 psig (3.5 kPa). The stove must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa).
A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the stove.
The stove, when installed with a blower, must be electri-
cally connected and grounded in accordance with local
codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA
C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the
ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the
United States. The blower power cord must be connected
into a properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong
must not be removed from the cord plug.
