FINISHING INFORMATION & PLANNING
NOTE: SÓLAS can only o er guidance as to the type of materials that can be safely used during the installation of your fireplace and cannot comment on, or be responsible for, any finishing material's propensity for fading, flaking, discoloring, cracking, or chipping due to improper installation and/or thermal expansion. Be sure to consider a material's propensity to "o -gas" when hot as this may cause discomfort for the end user.
NOTE: For a Minimal "Clean" look, we recommend using materials that have been tested for specific high heat applications and are designed not to crack or chip such as Promat and Skamol products. Any other materials used to achieve this same look might not perform as intended and are likely to discolor, crack and/or chip.
FINISHING SUGGESTIONS:
Standard gypsum board may be used beyond the perimeter of the non-combustible zone however it is preferable not to change materials to help avoid cracking. Ensure that all compound, mortar, and/or silicone adhesives are rated for high-temperature applications and have fully cured before using the fireplace to help reduce the possibility of cracking as a result of thermal expansion.
· Tile and Stone Veneer Products: Install a minimum of ½" non-combustible cement board then apply tile or stone with mortar following instructions from the finishing material company. Pre-drill cement board with oversized holes and do not over-tighten screws to avoid cracking due to thermal expansion.
· Natural Stone, Marble or Granite Type Products: Install a minimum of ½" non-combustible cement board then apply tile or stone with mortar following instructions from the finishing material company. Pre-drill cement board with oversized holes and do not over-tighten screws to avoid cracking due to thermal expansion.
Additional tips to help avoid cracking;
· Allow materials to dry thoroughly before finishing the wall.
· Always pre-drill cement board with oversized holes and use screws with self-milling head.
· Always use tape over joints.
· Double up studs or use studs "on the flat" to add extra support to the joint. Help control di erential movement by applying adhesive on the backside of the wall board joints.
· Use multiple, thinner coats of joint compound and allow to completely dry between coats.
· Ensure all framing materials are dry.
· Introduce heat gradually after finishing the wall to slowly dry any excess moisture.
· Avoid notching tiles or cement board around corners of window opening and instead provide a joint that intersects the corner.
· Take guidance from your authorized fireplace dealer and experienced installer.
Consult installation and operating instructions supplied with your SÓLAS fireplace for complete instructions for the installation and operation of the appliance.
NOTE: Prior to enclosing the wall cavity, test fire the fireplace to ensure it is fully operational.

COMFORT BLOWER
Your SÓLAS fireplace is equipped with a Comfort Blower to help e ciently move heat into your living space.
The Comfort Blower has 4 speed levels controlled by the SÓLAS One-Touch remote. See bottom right column of page 43 for details on remote operation.
In the event of a power outage, your fireplace will continue to operate, but the Comfort Blower will not function. Once power is restored you can use the Comfort Blower.
We recommend using your Comfort Blower on speed 1 or 2 which will help move a su cient amount of warm air from your fireplace into your heating zone while remaining quiet. With the increased air speed of levels 3 and 4, there will be a noticeable di erence in sound.
We recommend during the annual service on your fireplace Comfort Blower, use a vacuum and/or compressed air to remove any dust, pet hair etc. When servicing your fireplace, first shut o power to it.
The Comfort Blower is located to the left of the gas valve located under the air screen assembly. (as shown in image below). To gain access to the Comfort Blower please see page 26 first for Screen Removal.
In the event your Comfort Blower needs replacing, a licensed service technician can remove the Comfort Blower by removing the (2) / -20 nuts with a / " driver, located on each side of the Comfort Blower as shown in the image below.

VENTING
The SÓLAS FORTY6 Slim-Line Built-In Gas Fireplace has been tested and listed for installation with 5" x 8" Simpson DuraVent GS/Pro®, Selkirk DirectTemp®, Security Secure VentTM, AmeriVent DirectTM, Metal Fab DirectVent and ICC EXCELDirect venting components. Although you may use the pipe components (straight pipe, elbows, etc.) from any of the listed manufacturers, you may only use the vent terminations (caps) listed in the chart on page 19. For installations where a snorkel is needed, please note that only three snorkels are approved for use. Please plan your installation accordingly.
For all specific venting installation requirements, follow the installation instructions included by the venting manufacturer with the venting system components you have chosen.
Please Note:
· For venting configurations that include no vertical rise, a total horizontal equivalent vent run of up to 12 inches is allowed (when using a 45° elbow, 18 inches horizontal equivalent must be included). However, if your installation has room to add a vertical pipe section, we suggest adding at least one foot of vertical rise to the system.
· For venting configurations that include vertical rise, it is assumed that the installation will include at least one 90° elbow. Up to three additional 90° elbows (or equivalent 45° elbows) may also be used. The maximum vertical vent rise can not exceed 30 feet with a 0" horizontal run, or 20 feet vertical with 10 feet of horizontal run. Refer to the venting charts starting on pages 20 & 21 for specific details while you plan your installation. Note: The number of elbows impacts the maximum allowable horizontal vent run.
· Many installations will involve venting directly through standard 2 X 4 or 2 X 6 construction exterior wall to a horizontal vent termination (cap). The vent starter pipe has been designed to accommodate those two common installations without the use of any additional venting components other than a standard horizontal cap. See the chart on page 19 for a list of approved vent caps.
· If the fireplace will be installed on an interior wall or other location that precludes venting directly through an outside wall to a horizontal vent cap, or if the distance to the outside wall exceeds 30", one or more elbows will be required to allow addition of the required vertical venting to the installation. When vertical venting is required, the fireplace venting may be terminated with either a vertical or horizontal vent cap depending on the specifics of the installation. Refer to the venting charts starting on pages 20 & 21 for specific venting requirements and see the chart on page 19 for a list of approved vent caps before you plan your installation.
· There should be a 1 / " overlap of the vent and combustion air tubes, when telescopic joints are used.
· A minimum clear space of 1 / " must be maintained around the vent pipe where it penetrates the first combustible wall adjacent to the fireplace (either the outside wall for the direct-through-the-wall installation or the partition wall for the 45° or other interior wall installations). The special vent pipe heat shields that are provided with the FORTY6 must also be installed in the first wall adjacent to the fire-place. A minimum clear space of 1 / " must also be maintained where the vent pipe penetrates any other interior wall, exterior wall, ceiling or roof.

USING THE VENTING CHARTS
The location of the vent termination must meet the requirements of the current edition of ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code or CAN B419.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and the requirements shown on page 25 of this manual.

Just as with any other vented device, vertical vent rise creates draft (negative pressure) in the firebox as the exhaust gases heat up. If this draft becomes excessive, it can a ect the performance or appearance of the fire. The FORTY6 fireplace includes air and exhaust restrictors that are used to balance the draft in the fireplace to the optimal level for installations where excessive draft might occur. The venting charts on pages 20 & 21 provide an easy means for determining whether your specific installation requires inlet air or exhaust restrictors or both. To make the determination about whether air or exhaust restrictors are needed, a venting chart worksheet is provided on page 22. Follow the instructions and fill in the worksheet for your particular installation. This will allow you to determine the recommended restrictor settings for your exact installation. Although this might appear to be a complicated process at first glance, it is really quite straight-forward and the result will be a fire that looks and performs as intended. Several examples of worksheet calculations are shown on page 23 to help guide you.
Please be sure to note that:
1. There are separate venting charts for Natural Gas and LP Gas. Refer to the appropriate chart for your fuel type to determine your specific restrictor requirements. The settings in the charts have been deter-mined based on extensive testing.
2. Determine the total vertical vent rise and total horizontal vent run for your installation. All measurements are made from the center of the vent opening in the back of the fireplace.
3. If your fireplace will not be venting directly though an outside wall to a horizontal termination or if more than 12" of horizontal vent run is required, some vertical vent rise will be required for the fireplace to function and vent properly. Elbows will also be required for those installations. However, installations are limited to a maximum of four 90° elbows (or 45° elbow equivalents).
4. Note: Two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow.
5. The recommended restrictor settings in the venting
charts allow up to two 90° elbows (or 45° elbow equivalents) to be used without a ecting the restrictor settings. Additional elbows will require that you calculate a new equivalent horizontal run for your installation to account for the additional flow resistance caused by the extra elbows. For the purposes of calculating the equivalent horizontal vent run, each additional 90° elbow is equivalent to three feet of horizontal vent run and each additional 45° elbow is equivalent to 1.5 feet of horizontal vent run. The total horizontal vent run including elbow equivalents can not exceed 10 feet.
6. The maximum vertical vent rise can not exceed 30 feet with a 0" horizontal run, or 20 feet vertical with 10 feet of horizontal run.
7. There are two exhaust restrictors that are provided with your fireplace. They are labeled "C" and "D". The C restrictor provides less exhaust restriction than D.
8. An air restrictor plate is also provided with your fireplace. It is a ring with bendable tabs that can be set to adjust the amount of restriction in the air supply system. Once the appropriate number tabs are bent open (in accordance with the requirements for your installation), the plate is inserted between the fireplace and the vent starter pipe.

Installing the Outer Vent Heat Shields and Vent Termination (Parallel Installation on Outside Wall)
20. Before you install the horizontal vent termination, you must first install the second halves of the two telescoping vent pipe heat shields. Each shield half simply slips over the half you previously attached to the fireplace mounting plate and can now be seen inside the vent pass-through in the wall.
21. Install the outer shield first and the inner second. Leave about 2" of the shields protruding past the house sheathing.
23. Slip the inner and outer vent termination pipes onto the vent starter pipe taking care to align the inner and outer pipes to prevent damage.
Mounting Holes
22. Install the horizontal vent termination (vent cap). Be sure the arrow on the cap (if present) is pointing up and reconfirm that all the vent cap location requirements per pages 24-25 and the vent manufacturers requirements are met. NOTE: A piece of insulating material is supplied with the vent kit. It is very important that this insulation be fitted between the back of the Horizontal Vent Termination and the wall as shown in photo here.
24. Slide the vent termination (cap) into the siding recess (or vinyl siding shield) until it bottoms out. Note: The rear surface of the vent termination will push the telescoping vent pipe heat shields inward. When the vent termination is in place the heat shields will just touch the rear surface of the termination.
25. Pull the vent cap away from the sheathing and install a small bead of non-hardening silicone sealer around the cap perimeter. Push the cap in place.
26. Install the mounting screws (included with the cap) to hold the vent cap to the sheathing See the venting manufacturer's instructions for the location of the mounting holes. Typical mounting hole locations are shown in the adjacent photo. See the venting manufacturer's instructions for more information or if using the vinyl siding shield.

Installing the Outer Vent Heat Shields (Partition Wall Installation)
1. Before you install the additional vent pipe and elbow(s) that will complete the venting installation, you must first install the second sections of the vent pipe heat shields to protect the combustible materials around the vent pipe pass-through in the partition wall that the fireplace is mounted on. Each shield half simply slips over the half you previously attached to the fireplace mounting plate and that can now be seen inside the vent passthrough in the partition wall.
2. Install the outer shield first and the inner second. Leave at least 2" of both shields protruding past the partition wall framing or wall covering. See the photo on page 32.
Vent Pipe and Vent Termination Installation (Partition Wall Installation)
1. The specific details of the vent configuration from the vent starter pipe on the fireplace to the horizontal or vertical vent termination (cap) when the fireplace is installed on an interior wall of the house will vary depending on the location of the fireplace on the wall, what is on the back side of the wall, where the vent termination will be located (roof or exterior wall) and on other code requirements for the location of the vent termination as shown pages 24-25. However, the maximum vent length, measured along the centerline of the pipe, from the back of the fireplace to the start of the vent termination cannot exceed 30 feet, including a maximum of 20 feet of vertical rise and a maximum of 10 feet of horizontal run. If more than two 90° elbows (or equivalent 45° elbows) are needed for your installation, the maximum amount of horizontal run allowed is reduced. See the venting section starting on page 18 for specific information. It is important to plan the installation in advance so that you can accurately locate the any wall or ceiling pass-throughs and the vent termination on the exterior wall or roof. The vent pipe sections are available only in certain increments of length and in adjustable length sections. Plan carefully before you start!
2. You will find it helpful to leave access to the area behind the partition wall to facilitate installation of the vent components. The pipe sections may have twist lock connections which will be di cult to execute without good access.
3. Be sure that the two vent pipe heat shields extend at least 2" beyond the rear side of the partition wall adjacent to the fireplace after the venting is installed.
4. Maintain a minimum 1 / " unobstructed air space around the vent pipe where it passes through other interior walls, the ceiling, the exterior wall or the roof.
5. Note: Vent manufacturer's instructions and some building codes may require the addition of blocking above and below all wall pass-throughs, the addition of vent manufacturer supplied fire-stops, wall thimbles, attic insulation shields, interior trim collars, vent support brackets, or other components. Please check with the authority having jurisdiction in your area when planning the venting installation to determine the specific code requirements and exact venting components that are required for your installation.

PLACING THE BURNER GLASS MEDIA
The burner glass media poly-bag that you set aside when you unpacked the fireplace contains the correct amount of glass material to cover the burner. DO NOT add any additional media to the media supplied with your fireplace. The entire contents of the bag should be evenly distributed over the burner tray.
1. Locate the burner in the fireplace. Refer to the adjacent illustration.
2. Carefully clip one corner of the poly-bag to form a pouring spout. The opening should be large enough to allow the glass media to flow but not so large that you can't control the flow.
3. You will notice that the burner surface is designed with turned-up edges that form a tray to hold the glass media.
4. Starting at one end, pour the glass media onto the burner tray, keeping the pouring spout on the polybag toward the center of the burner to avoid spillage of glass pieces over the sides of the burner. See the adjacent illustrations.
5. Once you have poured all of the glass burner media into the burner tray, carefully smooth the glass pieces out so they have a uniform depth over the entire surface of the burner. When the burner glass media is properly placed, it should look like the images here on the right.
Burner Tray
Note: If a few pieces of glass escape over the edges of the burner tray during installation, it is not a problem. They will simply land in the area below the burner and will do no harm.

LIGHTING & OPERATION
FIRST FIRE INSTRUCTIONS
When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some vapors may be released due to the curing compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation. It is possible that these vapors could set o smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We recommend opening a window to vent the room during the burn o period. After a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and the flames will be at their normal height.
Where applicable, it is important that the blower is turned on to help clear the vapors from the unit.
Follow these instructions for a successful first fire; 1. Turn the fireplace on in Manual Mode. 2. Set flame height to HI. 3. Set the blower speed control to level 2. 4. Let the fireplace run for 3 hours at this setting then shut
o fireplace and let it cool. 5. After the fireplace cools, turn the fireplace on in manual
mode with flame on HI and the blower o . 6. Allow fireplace to run for 6 hours in this setting.
SERVICING
If any attention is required for your appliance, contact your dealer quoting the model number and serial number. This number is on the rating plate, which is located adjacent to the control module. The replacement parts are shown at the end of this manual. Please always quote the part number and description when requesting spare parts. Warranty is void if serviced by a non-qualified technician.
FIREPLACE CONTROL DEVICES
There are two ways to control your fireplace. 1. SÓLAS One-Touch Remote (S-507) 2. Optional Wall Touch Pad (WTP-1500)
The SÓLAS One-Touch Remote can be programmed to function automatically--see pages 41-46.
The ptional Wall Touch Pad can be used to turn the flame on, o , and to increase or decrease the flame height.
NOTE: The SÓLAS One-Touch Remote in the AUTO mode will override the Wall Touch Pad.
NOTE: Slight Odors may still be noticed on future uses
of the fireplace but will diminish over time. The type of
finishing materials used around the fireplace may add
odors or add to the curing time. If the fireplace has not
been used in several months, it is normal for odors to
occur caused by lint or dust that has settled on the unit

MAINTENANCE
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
A qualified service agency should conduct an annual inspection and maintenance of your SÓLAS Gas Fireplace including the overall installation and venting to keep it running safely. The following procedures should be performed only by a qualified service technician. The gas supply should be turned o and the stove should be completely cool whenever a maintenance procedure is performed. All parts of the appliance that are removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operation.
This appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service technician. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive dust or lint from carpeting, bedding materials, pets, etc. It is imperative that control compartments and circulating air passageways of this appliance be kept clean.
CLEANING THE BURNER & FIREBOX
During the annual inspection and maintenance appointment, the service technician should clean the burner and firebox. To gain access to the firebox and burner, follow the instructions beginning on page 35 and 36 of this manual.
DO NOT USE A VACUUM CLEANER TO CLEAN THE GLASS BURNER MEDIA.
A vacuum cleaner may be used to clean the metal parts of the firebox. Leave the glass burner media in place. Use a soft brush to clean the burner glass media. If the burner media does need to be removed, carefully scoop it o the burner and avoid dropping glass pieces in the air gaps around the burner. Follow the instructions on page 34 of this manual when replacing the burner media on the burner top.
AIR FLOW
The SÓLAS Gas Fireplace utilizes a convection air heat exchange system to maximize heat delivered from the fireplace. It is important that air flows freely through the convection air system and out the air grills. Do not place objects against the fireplace that will block the convection air inlet flow or in front of any air outlet.
CLEANING GLASS AND PORCELAIN ENAMEL PANELS
WARNING: Never clean the Glass or Enamel Panels while they are hot. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaners containing ammonia.
When the fireplace is first operated, there may be some vapors and a visible white film left on the glass and panels. This white film, a mineral deposit, is a normal by-product of the combustion process in a gas appliance. The composition of the deposit varies with location and time and is believed to be associated with varying sulfur content in the gas. You may experience this problem intermittently.
We have consulted with ceramic glass manufacturers and they cannot o er a definitive solution to the issue. The following are recommendations only and are not meant to guarantee results. NOTE: This is an issue beyond SÓLAS's control and is not covered under warranty.
· Clean the glass and porcelain enamel panels regularly as soon as you notice a white film build-up. If the film is left for a longer period of time it will etch into the glass and may be harder or impossible to remove.
· NEVER use an abrasive cleaner or an Ammonia-based cleaner on the ceramic glass. An abrasive cleaner will compromise the strength of the glass, An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
· Use a damp, soft micro-fiber cloth or cotton cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry glass with a soft, dry cloth. (Paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to ceramic glass and should not be used)
· We have had good results from the following products, however we cannot guarantee results; Brasso, Polish Plus by Kel-kem, Cook Top Clean Creme by Elco, White O by Rutland, Turtle Wax.
· DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!
NOTE: The batteries in your SÓLAS One-Touch remote control and control module are to be replaced annually. Only use brand name alkaline batteries such as Duracell or Energizer.
