Introduction

The Fireplace models covered in this manual are Direct-Vent sealed combustion gas fireplace heaters designed for residential application. Direct-Vent appliances operate with the com- bustion chamber completely isolated from the indoor environment. All air for combustion is brought in from the outside and exhaust gases are vented through the same direct vent, co-axial (intake/exhaust) vent system.

The Millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas control valve with piezo ignition system provides safe, efficient operation. If any optional acces- sories which require electrical power are being installed, the electrical power must be provided at the time of appliance installation.

The Electronic appliances have an electronic intermittent pilot system provides safe, efficient operation. External electrical power is required to operate these appliances.

These appliances comply with National Safety Standards and are tested and listed by Omni-Test Laboratories (Report No. 116-F-29-5) to ANSI Z21.88 (in Canada, CSA-2.33), and CAN/CGA- 2.17-M91 in both USA and Canada, as vented gas fireplace heaters.

The Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54-latest edition, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1-latest edition. The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 - latest editions.

General Information

Note: Installation and repair should be per- formed by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected annually by a qualified professional service technician. More frequent inspections and cleanings may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.

It is imperative that the control compartment, burners and circulating air passage ways of appliance be kept clean.

S'assurer que le brùleur et le compartiment des commandes sont propres. Voir les instructions d'installation et d'utilisation qui accompagnent l'appareil.

These fireplaces are designed as supplemen- tal heaters. Therefore, it is advisable to have an alternate heat source when installed in a dwelling.
