INSTALLING HOODS

Black hoods are furnished with each fireplace (or the optional hood(s)) and MUST be installed before the fireplace is used. Failure to do so may create a possible fire hazard. For shipping purposes, the hoods are located behind the upper or lower louvers. If brass, stainless steel, or hammered pewter hoods are desired, they can be purchased as an option. Attachment is the same as the standard black hood.

Hood Installation

1.Remove upper louver.

2.Place the top hood flange on top of the inner firebox top, then install three screws through the firebox top from below and screw into the pilot holes in the hood flange (B).

3.Install one (1) screw at each end of the hood as shown (C).

4.Re-install louver(s).

Caution: All hoods must be installed prior to operation of appliance. See Figure 13.

The flame appearance can enhance any room’s aesthetics, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings at home.

Another notable characteristic is the variety of styles available. The VFP36PP models feature a more modern, contemporary design, while the VFP36SP models have a traditional aesthetic that fits well with classic décor.

Safety is also a top priority with these fireplaces. They come with built-in safety features, including an automatic shut-off system that activates if the pilot light goes out, ensuring peace of mind for users. The models are also equipped with thermostat controls, allowing for easy temperature adjustments to maintain a comfortable environment.

In terms of fuel options, these vent-free fireplaces can operate on both natural gas and propane, providing flexibility based on the needs and availability of fuel sources.
