A. Installation Inspection
1. Follow safety inspection procedures recommended by
national, provincial, and/or local codes.
2. Be certain all electrical connections are properly made
and secure.
3. Visually inspect the vent system and determine that
there is no fl ue gas spillage, blockage or restriction,
leakage, corrosion or other unsafe defi ciencies.
4. Place the fi replace in operation and determine that the
burner and power vent are operating properly. The
main burner should show no signs of fl oating, lifting, or
fl ashbacks.
B. Vacuum Switch Orientation
The vacuum switch must be installed on a vertical plane
for proper function. If the PVI-SLP is mounted in a vertical
position, the vacuum switch needs to be moved from its
place in Figure 5.1 to the location shown in Figure 5.2. To
do this, loosen and remove the two nuts securing it to the
inside wall of the PVI-SLP. Move and secure the vacuum
switch onto the adjacent wall using the two bolts that are
sticking out of the surface. Be sure that the tube running
from the vacuum switch to the motor is not pinched closed.

Operating Instructions
C. Setting the PVI-SLP Baffl e Adjustment
The PVI-SLP has a baffl e adjustment which must be set
during the Installation Inspection. This baffl e adjustment
is located alongside the motor. See Figure 5.3.
The baffl e adjustment is measured using the holes on the
indicator bar of the PVI-SLP baffl e. See Figure 5.4. This
bar raises as the baffl e is opened and lowers as the baffl e
is closed. When only one hole is showing, the baffl e is
closed. When all three holes are visible, the baffl e is all
the way open. DO NOT TRY TO FORCE IT OPEN ANY
FURTHER THAN 1/2 in.
When the power vent is located within ten feet of the ap-
pliance, there is no limit to the baffl e adjustment. If the
power vent is located more than 40 feet from the appliance,
the fl ue baffl e must remain closed and cannot be adjusted.
See Table 3 for limitations to the baffl e adjustment.
The need to adjust the baffl e will depend upon vent run
confi guration and burner fl ame characteristics.
Next to the bolt used for baffl e adjustment is an indicator bar.
• If the burner fl ames are short, active, and jumping – turn
the bolt clockwise (open). Check the burner fl ames and
adjust the baffl e again as necessary until the fl ames are
stable, strong, and steady.
• If the burner fl ames are tall, lifting, fl oating, and ghost-
like, the baffl e is too open and MUST be closed (turn bolt
counter-clockwise).
• If the pilot continously sparks and does not become
steady, the baffle may need to be opened. The
requirements in table 3 must still be met.

CAUTION! Risk of electrical shock! DO NOT allow
120VAC wires to contact hot metal surfaces. Use sup-
plied wire ties to bundle wires away from fl ue pipe, fan
housing and other metal surfaces.

CAUTION! Risk of overheating! The baffl e must re-
main fully closed when using the PVI-SLP with the PRI-
MO models. See PRIMO Installation Manual for details
