Congratulations on choosing an Archgard Gas Fireplace!
The Optima 22 Direct Vent Insert is one of the most advanced Direct Vent Insert heaters
available today. It is solidly designed using the latest technology and manufactured to the
highest quality. It is our aim to provide you with an appliance for many trouble-free years of
reliable service.
Some of the many features of your Optima 22 Direct Vent Insert are:
• Heater Classification. The Optima 22 is classified as a heating appliance.
Therefore, it uses Direct Vent safety technology and it is
suitable for continuously operated zone heating.
• High Efficiency. The Optima 22 has one of the highest efficiencies of any
Direct Vent gas insert, which means that it is less expensive
to operate.
• Adjustable Fan Speed. Each Optima 22 insert comes complete with a heat-
activated circulation fan with a fully adjustable speed control.
• Adjustable Flame. The flame aesthetics and heat output can be adjusted to suit
the owner's liking and heating needs.
• Solid Construction. The Optima 22 is mainly constructed of 16 and 18 gauge
galvanized and aluminized coated steel for long life and
durability.
• Optional Accessories. Check with your Authorized Archgard Dealer for a full
complement of decorative accessories to suit your home's
decor and your tastes. Some of the accessories available
are: 24K Gold Overlay (for the flat window), a variety of
surrounds (faceplates) with gold, black or pewter trims and
an overlay bay window that simply attaches to the front of
your fireplace while leaving the flat glass door in place.
• Millivolt Control System. The Optima 22 uses a gas control valve that is ready for
an optional wall thermostat, or a hand-held "wireless" remote
control.

GAS CONNECTIONS ¢�
.�� wA,m�� �����r��,.�����
Before connecting the appiiance to the gas suppiy line, doubie check that the appliance you
have purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. 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.

LOG PLACEMENT '
���,��, ������.� W������n�
The Archgard pan burner bed and fiber logs are designed to give a realistic fire package, and cre-
ated to look the same as the day they were originally installed. Care must be given when first in-
stalling the logs, and if removed for servicing, as they can be damaged or broken if not handled
properly.
After opening the log set package, inspect the logs to ensure that no damage has occurred inside
the package. Please report any damage immediately to your Authorized Archgard Dealer.
Gas and vent connection must be made before installing the embers and logs on the pan burner.
NOTE: Improper placement of logs and embers may cause sooting on the internal parts and glass
and will not be covered under warranty. Do not use broken or damaged logs.
WARNING:
Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
Locate the embers, logs and grate and place them on their prospective locations. Refer to the
pictured instructions on the following pages that will show how to place all six (6) logs. The bot-
tom of each log has a 3-digit code that can be used as a reference to help locate the correct log.
Pins and holes must be aligned with logs and burner.
IMPORTANT: Embers should not be placed over the burner ports. Do not use more than one
gram of embers. Separate the material and spread around the pan as shown below. Be sure to
follow handling instructions on the bag.

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.

FIRST FIRE
W, a,���,��-� .�� �
When operated for the first few times, the appliance will emit some odor and fumes. This is due
to the heat from the appliance evaporating the oils and solvents used in fabricating the
appliance. Close off the room to the rest of the house and open all windows. Keep the room
well ventilated, as smoke alarm may sound. Run the appliance for at least 6 hours at maximum
setting with blower set to "OFF" to allow paint to cure (after the installer has checked to ensure
the fan is operational). Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort
to some individuals.

pressing the sparker many servicing,there is air in the gas line. It takes a while for all of the air to
times. purge out of the pilot before gas can reach the pilot and ignite.
Remove the glass door and try lighting the pilot many times to purge
the air.
2. Check to make sure the gas supply to the appliance is turned on and
there is adequate gas supply pressure to the appliance.
3. Check for sparks between the spark electrode and the pilot head when
the sparker is pressed. If there are no sparks:
a. Check for broken or poor connection from the sparker to the
electrode.
b. Check for the spark shorting or arcing at other locations.
c. Check for defective sparker.
d. Check for defective spark electrode.
4.With the door removed, try lighting the pilot with a match.
a. If air is blowing on the flame of the match, hold the control knob in
at the 'PILOT' setting until all the air is purged out of the line.
b. If there is no gas or air coming out of the pilot and there is gas
pressure to the appliance, the pilot orifice may be blocked or the
gas valve may be defective.
Pilot will not remain on after 1. Press the control knob all the way in (at the"piloY' indicator).

3. If you are trying to re-light the pilot immediately after you have shut-off
the pilot, you have to wait 5 minutes for the valve to reset. (safety sys-
tem built into the vatve)
4. Check to see if the pilot flame is large enough to reach and surround
the thermocoupte. If the flame is too small, check for correct gas
supply pressure. If pressure is good, adjust the pilot flame size with
the adjustment screw on the valve. If the flame cannot be adjusted,
there might be some debris obstructing the pilot orifice, or a wrong
size pilot orifice.
5. Check for poor connection of the thermocouple to the valve.
6. Check for proper millivolts of the thermocouple. The thermocouple
should generate at least 20 mV or it is defective.
7. Check for defective gas valve.

MAINTENANCE
��,� ��.��
CAUTION:
Do not conduct maintenance on the appliance while it is operating or while it is still hot.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE '
��-.����, � �� ,
The exterior painted surfaces, glass and gold trims may be cleaned with a soft, non-abrasive
cloth and water or a suitable, mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
Regularly:
. Frequent cleaning of the ceramic glass is required. Archgard recommends using a good
quality"gas fireplace" glass cleaner that is available at any hearth retail location. DO NOT
CLEAN WHILE HOT.
• Clean and remove any lint accumulations or debris from the grills and in any combustion
and convection air passage ways.
. Keep the appliance area free from combustible materials, such as paper, wood, clothing,
gasoline and flammable solids, liquids and vapors.
• Visually check the height and color of the burner and pilot flames.
Every 2 to 3 months:
. Remove the glass door and clean the inside of the glass with a good quality "gas
fireplace" glass cleaner. DO NOT CLEAN WHILE HOT.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ��
�, ��."a—�-,-����.�sD, ��.�:.���� _.
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.
