Hearth and Home Technologies II-B Getting Started, Design and Installation Considerations

2 Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations

Heat & Glo direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional outside air source is required.

The Twilight-II-B has been carefully engineered to pro- vide a unique fireplace experience. Since it is different than any other product on the market, care must be taken when installing this appliance so that our customer does not experience undesirable performance or conditions.

1.Install the appliance according to this Owner’s Guide paying particular attention to flashing and sealing in- structions.

2.In the cold northern climates pay attention to expo- sures and prevailing wind conditions when locating the appliance, the same as you would for locating exterior windows and doors.

The Twilight-II-B has the thermal characteristics of a high quality window system. Temperatures near the appliance will be cooler than what is realized with a fully insulated wall.

Operation of the appliance will eliminate any cool drafts and will provide the room with a comfortable ambiance.

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

•Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

•Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
