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 outside 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 instal- lation 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 does not require electricity to operate.

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

•A piezo ignitor and ceramic electrode create spark to ignite the pilot light. It does not require matches, batteries or any other source of ignition to light the pilot.

•Each time you turn on your fireplace, you may notice some amount of condensation on the inside of the fireplace glass. This is normal and will disappear after 10-20 minutes of operation.

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