The gas type markings are located on the certification label and also on the appliance's gas valve. Adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections must be provided. All qas connections must be checked for gas leaks. Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the fireplace. The line must be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Immediately upstream of the supply connection, the fitter shall provide an accessible manual shut-off valve and a 1/8" (3 mm) NPT plugged tapping accessible for connection to a test gauge. When connecting the supply line to the gas valve, the installer shall brace the gas valve to ensure that the gas valve is not moved from its bracket. If the valve is not braced when the supply line is connected, the valve may be moved and cause a "break" in the main burner supply line. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure-testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance 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). Failure to do so will damage the appliance's gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Natural Gas Pressure Settings: The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 4.5"W.C. (1.1 kPa) and a maximum of 14"W.C. (3.5 kPa). The orifice is a#42 DMS (2.36 mm) drill size. ELEVATION INPUT RATING 0-4500 ft (0-1372 M) 24,000 BTU/hr(6.9 kW) 4500 ft(1372 M) and above. 24,000 BTU/hr(6.9 kW) less 4% per 1000 ft. (305 M) Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require. Propane Pressure Settings: The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 11"W.C. (2.8 kPa) and a maximum of 14" W.C. (3.5 kPa). The orifice is a#54 DMS (1.40 mm) drill size. ELEVATION INPUT RATING 0-4500 ft. (0-1372 M) 23,000 BTU/hr(6.6 kW) 4500 ft. (1372 M) and above. 23,000 BTU/hr(6.6 kW) less 4% per 1000 ft. (305 M) Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require. NOTE: THE INPUT RATING SHOULD ALWAYS BE CHECKED WHEN FIRST RUNNING THIS APPLIANCE. To do this, reduce the background flow rate, time the meter, light the fireplace and take another reading after 15 minutes of operation. Check with your gas supplier for the gas BTU content at your elevation. Input is the rate of flow multiplied by the heating value of the gas (cubic feet/hour x BTU per cubic feet). Adjust the manifold pressure so that the unit does not operate above the rated input. -.

OPTIMA 22 20 � FINAL iNSTALLATiON CHECK =�� .,w��,�,�„�:. - =a� .� _ �.,�µwx� Each Archgard Gas Fireplace is checked and tested at the factory prior to being packaged and shipped to our dealers and finally installed in your home. Archgard recommends that before leaving this unit with the customer, the installer must ensure that the appliance is firing correctly and that the electrical system is in working order. This will include: 1. Perform leak tests of supply line, gas control valve, supply line from gas control valve and pilot assembly. 2. Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct firing rate (see page 9 of this manual). 3. If required, adjusting the primary air to burner to ensure that the flame does not carbon or soot. (see page 28 of this manual for instructions on Adjusting Primary Air) 4. Check for proper operation including correct drafting. 5. The FAN system should be turned ON for a minimum of 10-15 minutes to ensure that the fan, rheostat and fan sensor are all working correctly. After the system has been checked and confirmed that the fan components are in working order, turn the fan system OFF and refer to the instructions for FIRST FIRE located in this manual. As a reminder, a TAG is attached to all of our gas fireplaces. This TAG is located at the gas control valve. See Fig 1. Fig 1. ARCHGARD INDUSTRIES LTD. *** INSTALLER*** � IMPORTANT NOTICE ALL GAS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS **MUST**BE CHECKED AND TESTED AT TIME OF INSTALLATION.

Listed below are some frequently asked questions regarding Archgard Gas Fireplaces. If you have ques- tions that are not listed below, or are not answered in this manual, please contact your Authorized Archgard Dealer. Q. My glass has a condensation "fog" when the appliance is first lit. A. Condensation is normal and will disappear in a few minutes after the glass is heated. Q. I have a white "film" on my glass. What is the best way to clean the inside of the glass. A. Frequent cleaning of your glass is recommended. Archgard recommends using a good quality "gas fireplace" glass cleaner that is available at all authorized dealers. Do not use abrasive materials, and do not clean the glass or the appliance when the unit is hot. Q. How do I care for my gold plated trims. A. Archgard recommends a cleaning with a damp cloth. DO NOT use chemical cleaners as they may harm the finish, and void your warranty. NOTE: If the top louvers, or top overlay starts to discolor, check the door gasket seal and replace if necessary. Q. My fan/blower makes a "whirring" or"humming" noise. A. Your Archgard gas appliance uses a powerful fan to push heated air into your room. It is not unusual to hear a "humming" noise when your fan is running. Note: the sound will change depending on the set- ting that your fan speed control is set at. Q. I hear a "click" when my fan system activates. A. When your appliance reaches temperature, it will activate the THERMODISC "fan switch". The switch closes the electrical circuit that allows the fan to turn on. This is a normal sound. Q. I hear a "ticking", "cracking" or"pinging" sound when my fireplace is running, and after it is turned off. A. The different gauges of steel used to manufacture your fireplace will expand and contract at different rates when your fireplace is on, and will continued as your fireplace completes its heating function. You will likely hear these same sounds more on start up and shut down. This is normal for steel fireplaces. Q. When my appliance is OFF and my pilot light is lit, I hear a "whisper" sound. A. The lit pilot can make a small noise. Sometimes in extreme wind conditions you may be able to hear air entering into the firebox chamber. Q. I hear a "click"when my main burner turns ON or OFF. A. Your Gas Control Valve will make a clicking sound when it opens to allow gas to flow to the main burner. This is a normal part of the operating system. Q. Can I burn wood and other materials in my gas fireplace. A. No! Burning anything other than natural or LP gas in a gas fireplace or stove will create a potential fire hazard and present a danger to your home and its occupants. Only burn the gas fuel for which the unit was originally designed. Q. Can I shut my pilot off in the summer? A. You will save energy by turning off the pilot light if you are not using your appliance for the hot sum- mer months. Remember to relight it before you want to use the appliance for the first time in the fall. Re- fer to your owners manual for lighting instructions. Q. Can I position my gas logs in a different fashion or use a different log set? A. No. Your gas fireplace is an engineered system that includes the firebox, burner, logs, venting and options which are tested and listed by CSA. Changing any specifications or placement of the logs could void your manufacturer's warranty, and possible even your homeowner's warranty.
