Before You Begin

INTRODUCTION

These fireplace models are vented gas fireplaces that use an elec- tronic gas control valve and electronic ignition system. P325E/ VP325E models have a 5" B-vent and P324E/VP324E models have a 4" B-vent. A properly sized B-Type venting system and a listed type vent cap are not supplied but are required for proper operation. See venting instructions on pages 8 and 9.

WARNING: This gas appliance must not be con- nected to a chimney flue servicing a solid fuel burn- ing appliance.

These models are factory equipped for use with natural gas and must be converted when intended for use with propane/LP gas. Conversion kits PCBE-324 and PCBE-325 may be purchased for simple conver- sion to propane/LP gas. See Accessories, page 21.
