2Getting Started
Introducing the Heat & Glo Gas Fireplaces
Heat & Glo direct flue gas fireplaces are designed to oper- ate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions, are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide. Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
The flue system components are shipped in separate pack- ages. The gas logs are packaged separately and must be field installed.
Read all of the instructions before starting the instal- lation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit. Failure to follow these instructions will void the own- er’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Heat & Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat & Glo disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
•Installation of any damaged fireplace or flue system com- ponent.
•Modification of the fireplace or direct flue system.
•Installation other than as instructed by Heat & Glo.
•Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
•Installation and/or use of any component part not manu- factured and approved by Heat & Glo, not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or other party approval of such component part or accessory.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to determine:
•Where the unit is to be installed.
•The flue system configuration to be used.
•Gas supply piping.
•Electrical wiring.
•Framing and finishing details.
•Whether optional
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting, tile or any combustible material other than wood flooring, it should be installed on a metal or wood panel that extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.
