Note: If the fl ue is blocked or has a strong 
reverse fl ow, the thermally actuated safety 
switch mounted in the draft diverter will 
automatically shut off the gas supply within 
about 10 minutes. If the heater turns off be-
cause of this during the spillage test, check 
for the cause of the lack of draft.
TEST FOR
FLUE SPILLAGE
A "spillage" test must be made before the 
installed unit is left with the customer. Follow 
the procedure below:
1) Start all exhaust fans in the home and any
other gas appliances. Then close all doors 
and windows.
2) Light the unit and set controls to maxi-
mum.
3) After
fi ve minutes, test that there is a "pull"
on the fl ue by placing a smoke match, 
cigarette or similar device which gives off 
smoke, on the edge of the draft diverter. 
See diagrams.
The smoke should be drawn into the draft di-
verter. If the smoke is not drawn into the draft 
diverter, turn the unit off and check for the cause 
of lack of draft.

INSTALLATION

FRONT DOOR
INSTALLATION
1) Open the two side panels.
2) Slide the door onto the two hinge pins making
sure the two pieces are fl ush together. See 
diagram 1.
4) The latches should already be at the proper
setting. If they are too hard or too easy 
to close, you may want to adjust them by 
loosening the latch catch. See diagram 3.
5) Remove the blue plastic protective coating
from the glass.

6) Test the seal around the door by placing
a piece of paper between the unit and the 
door, close the door and try to pull the paper 
out. If it slips out easily, then the door is not 
properly sealed. Tighten or loosen the latch. 
See diagram 3.
Note:
The door latch may require adjust-
ment as the door gasket material 
compresses after a few fi res and 
after glass replacement. Turn the 
latch catch inward or outward to 
loosen or tighten.
3) Close the door. The latch plate must be
centered around the alignment pin. See 
diagram 2. If the latch plate interferes with 
the corner of the stove you may want to 
angle the plate slightly so the door closes 
easier.
The thermally activated safety switch must 
be manually reset before fi rst startup.
