GAS INSTALLATION
Conversion Kits
The mobile home appliance is fi eld convertible between Natural Gas
(NG) and Propane (LP).
To convert from one gas to another consult your Continental dealer/
distributor.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour
barrier coming in contact with the fi replace body, it is recommended that
the walls of the fi replace enclosure be “fi nished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock),
as you would fi nish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure
that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
It is best to frame your fi replace after it is positioned and the vent system
is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fi replace
system.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to accommodate
for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials, i.e. tile, carpeting,
hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of
the lower access door and the installation of many decorative fl ashing
accessories.
This Mobile/Manufactured Home Listed appliance comes factory
equipped with a means to secure the unit. The fi replace is equipped
with two 1/4” diameter holes located in the front left and right corners
of the base. For mobile home installations, the fi replace must be fas-
tened in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the holes
in the base to secure. Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at
the source, prior to moving the mobile home.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the fi replace, ensure
that the logs are positioned correctly.

Objects placed in front of the fi replace should be kept a minimum of
48" away from the front face.
Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the fi re-
place but must not cover any of the black face areas of the fi replace.
Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude
in these areas.
For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch may be installed
in a convenient location. A 20’ length of millivolt wire is connected to
the gas valve for the wall switch. However if a greater length is required
route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through the electrical hole lo-
cated at the bottom left side of the unit. The recommended maximum
lead length depends on wire size:
WIRE SIZE MAX. LENGTH
14 gauge 100 feet
16 gauge 60 feet
18 gauge 40 feet
Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the gas valve.
