IDV380/IDV490 Fireplace Insert

Before You Start

Read this homeowner manual thoroughly and follow all instructions carefully. Inspect all contents for shipping damage and immediately inform your dealer if any damage is found. Do not install any unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts. Check your packing list to verify that all listed parts have been received.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

Plan for the installation of your insert. This includes determining the size of fireplace in which unit is to be installed, length of venting to be used and finishing details, and whether any optional accessories (i.e. wall switch, or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, including permits and inspections.

The following factors should be taken into consideration:

•This insert should have sufficient access for its safe operation and maintenance.

•The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

•Minimum clearances to combustibles, such as mantels, must be maintained. Refer to Pages 8 and 9, Figures 4 and 5.

•Never obstruct the front opening of the insert.

•Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other flammable liquids may be stored.

•These units can be installed in a bedroom. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/ NFPA 54 (current edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code (current edition), and Local Building Codes for specific installation requirements.

IMPORTANT: Your direct vent insert was designed to be installed in an existing wood burning fireplace. The location and clearances are subject to local building codes.

INSERT APPLICATIONS

Before installing the gas fireplace insert, consider the functioning needs of the fireplace. Confirm the size of the fireplace cavity, the design of the chimney, and the availability of the gas supply and electricity for the insert fan.

IMPORTANT: Your direct vent insert is designed to be only vented vertically with a mini- mum height of 10 feet.

When the unit is installed into a wood burning fireplace, the minimum distance the mantel can be placed above the fireplace is governed by local building codes applicable to wood burning fireplaces. Consult local authorities having jurisdiction for these clearances. The underside of the mantel will become warm. Use only finishes which are heat resistant and do not discolor.
