5Important Safety Information
HOT SURFACES. Be aware that, although safe,
some combustible materials and finishes, eventhough installed at listed clearances may, over time,
discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1500 requires theinstallation of the cement board provided with theengine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up thewall surface if not impeded. Protruding mantels andprojections can help direct the heat away from thewall. AVOID PLACING heat sensitive items suchas televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above
fireplaces or near the edge of protrusions unlessappropriate.
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the hearth infront of the fireplace to temperatures that, althoughapproved safe, can be quite uncomfortable totouch or step on—particularly for children and pets.
Accessory screens and guards will reduce theradiant heat on these surfaces.

Operating Your Fireplace for the First
Time
When operating your new fireplace for the first time,some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used in the manufacture of theappliance. They may cause a slight odor and could
cause the flames to be the full height of the firebox, oreven slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room. Aftera few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared andthe flames will be at their normal height.

Important Installer Notice –Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that ventinstallations through exterior walls are caulked andweatherproofed in such a manner as to:• Prevent rain water from entering the wall fromthe weather side by adequately caulking theouter vent plate to the exterior wall surface.
• Prevent moisture inside the home from
penetrating into the wall structure by ensuring
the inside wall plate is adequately sealed to theinside vapor barrier.
• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering
the walls by sealing the joints between the outervent tube and the inner and outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality
polyurethane sealant.

How to Read the Venting Chart
The chart below applies to co-axial roof or wall
termination.
1. The total length of the vent pipe cannot exceed
40 feet.
2. The minimum vertical height with roof termination is
6 feet.
3. Any combination of rise and run can be used aslong as they are within the allowable limits shownon the chart below.
4. A maximum of 4 x 90 degrees elbows—or
equivalent (2 x 45 degrees = 90 degrees)—canbe used. Excludes the 45 degrees take-off elbow
shipped with the appliance.

5. Each 90 degrees elbow installed on the horizontal
plane is equivalent to a 3 feet horizontal pipe;
therefore, 3 feet must be subtracted from allowablehorizontal run. (45 degrees elbow is equivalent to
18 inches horizontal pipe.)
6. All horizontal pipe runs must be graded 1/4 inch perfoot upwards in the direction of the exhaust flow.
The final pipe length, when terminating through thewall may be graded downwards slightly to prevent
water migration.
7. A restrictor adjustment is required for most
installations having a vertical rise—see next
section.
Note: The restrictor is shipped installed at theexhaust exit of the firebox.

Restrictor
The restrictor is located in the roof of the firebox hidden
above the top liner panel. Adjust the restrictor before
installation of the top liner panel. Should subsequentadjustment be required, you will need to remove the
top liner panel—see page 29.
ALL INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE A RESTRICTOR for
improved flame picture and performance. This unit issupplied with a pre-fitted restrictor having five different
positions or settings. The restrictor is shipped mounted
at the maximum open position which is used for rear
venting with no vertical rise. The level of restriction
required depends on the vertical rise in the venting
system and, to a lesser degree, the horizontal run andnumber of elbows.

Position #1

Position #2

Position #3

Position #4

The amount of restriction is based on laboratory tests.
The ideal restrictor position may vary slightly, especiallywhen the vent pipe length is near the limits of theacceptable configurations for each type of restrictor.
The chart on the previous page shows the vent
restrictor required relative to the length of the vent pipe.
To set the restrictor position:
1. Establish the required position of the restrictor
looking up the venting table on the previous page.
2. Release the screws (2) on each side of the restrictor
already installed.
3. Slide the restrictor in the required position.
4. Tighten the screws.

Appliance Preparation
Wall Finishing
The L1 Linear fireplace is supplied with noncombustible cement board to be used as a wall surface
immediately surrounding the unit. Standard gypsum
wall board may be used beyond the perimeter of thecement board. Additional non-combustible material
such as tile, etc., may be applied over top of the wall
surface or you may choose to leave it finished clean
with no tile, etc. Be aware that a trim is always required
and that only the wider trim will accept tile,etc. tucked
behind it (up to 1 inch thick).

asis

If a clean finish is desired the joints in the cement
board and the transition to gypsum board will require
special attention if future cracking is to be controlled.
Also, the entire surface of the cement board will requirea skim coat to match the thickness and finish of thesurrounding gypsum board. We have taken measures
to limit the number of joints and to locate them awayfrom the heat to help control any cracking. However,
we cannot guarantee a crack-free finish.
Below are some tips on how to best avoid any
cracking:• Allow materials to dry thoroughly before finishing
the wall. Cement board has the ability to absorb up
to 30 percent of its weight in water and may shrink
as much as 1/8” over a 48” length when drying froma saturated condition. Running the fireplace before
final finishing will help drive out moisture.
• Always use tape over joints.
• Use multiple, thinner coats of joint compound andallow to dry thoroughly between coats.
• Ensure framing materials are dry.
• After finishing the wall, introduce heat gradually toslowly dry any excess moisture rather than drying
too fast.

Operation Check & Aeration Settings Adjustment
Operation Check
Turn the fireplace flame up and down using the
remote control to confirm that the full range of inputs
is achieved—see the remote control operation
instructions on pages 42–45.

Aeration Settings
Light the fire and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the flame picture. The burner isequipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration (NG only). The shutter is factory-set to an
aeration gap which will give optimum performance forthe vast majority of installations.

Air Shutter

In a few unusual installations, the flame picture may
be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need for
adjustment should be determined only by operating theappliance with the fuel bed and window installed.
Increasing aeration will cause the flames to appear
more transparent and blue showing more ceramic rockglow.
Decreasing aeration will cause the flames to appear
more yellow or orange showing less ceramic rock glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon
forming and dropping into the firebox.
To access the air shutter, remove the front middle
platform as indicated. The air shutter is located underthe burner as shown in the illustrations.

DO NOT LET CHILDREN touch the glass or any
parts of your fireplace even after it is turned off as
it is still hot.
USE A SAFETY SCREEN or a GATE to reduce
the risk of burns.

Operating Your Fireplace
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heatfrom the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas flow unless manually lighting the pilot.
See full lighting instructions on page 46 of this manual.

The composition of the deposit varies with location andtime. It is believed to be associated with the varying
sulfur content of the gas. You may have the problem
intermittently.
We have consulted with ceramic glass manufacturers
and they cannot offer a definitive solution to this problem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products withvarying results. The following are recommendations
only and are not meant to guarantee results.

NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles
Industries’ control and is not covered underwarranty.
• Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice
the buildup (white film). If the film is left for a longer
period of time, it will etch into the glass. It is thenmuch harder, if not impossible, to remove.
• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on theceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface
has the immediate effect of compromising thestrength of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner isrecommended.
• Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the
glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive toceramic glass and should be avoided.
• Our dealers have had good results from theproducts listed below. We cannot, however,guarantee the results of these products.

Fireplace Control Devices
There are two ways to control your fireplace.
1. Thermostatic Remote Control;
2. Wall Switch.
The Thermostatic Remote Control can be programmed
to function automatically—see pages 42–45.
The Wall Switch can be used to turn on, off and toincrease or decrease the flame height.

How to Ensure Your Fireplace Cannot
Be Turned ON Inadvertently
To ensure that your fireplace will not turn on by
accident, you can, when your fireplace isn’t working
AND it is cold, remove all batteries from the battery box
as well as the battery from the handset.
Alternately, you can turn the dial on the gas valve fromthe ON position to the MAN position as shown. Turning
the dial to MAN (arrow up) will ensure that the mainburner can not come on. The pilot will remain on if it is lit.
