Product Features

These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your direct-vent fireplace:

The venting system may be routed to the out- side of your home in several ways. It may vent through the roof (vertical) or it may vent to an outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The vent pipe installation is very important to allow for proper operation. You must follow the venting instructions very carefully for either vertical or horizontal applications.

This fireplace may be installed in any room of your house provided all local codes and these installation instructions are followed.

This fireplace requires a wall switch, hand-held remote or wall thermostat (millivolt) for opera- tion (see Accessories, page 42).

The use of a blower requires electricity if installed. If you plan to install the blower at a later date, outlet at bottom of fireplace must be wired during framing.

Your direct-vent gas fireplace system (fireplace and venting) is a balanced and sealed gas op- erating unit. It requires approximately 10-20 minutes of operating time before the flame pattern stabilizes.
