pRODUCT FEaTURESThese are a few facts that can help you under-
stand and enjoy your direct-vent replace:
•  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 installation  is very  important to 
allow for proper operation. You must follow 
the venting  instructions very carefully  for 
either vertical or horizontal applications.
•  This replace may be installed in any room 
of your house provided all local codes and 
these installation instructions are followed.
•  This  replace does  not require electricity 
to operate.
•  Only the  blower requires  electricity if 
installed. If you  plan to  install the blower 
at a later date, outlet must be wired at the 
bottom of the replace when framing.
•  A piezo ignitor and ceramic electrode create 
sparks to ignite the  pilot light. It  does not 
require any matches, batteries or any other 
sources of ignition to light the pilot.
•  Each  time you turn on your replace, you 
may notice some amount of condensation 
on the  inside of the  replace glass.  This 
is normal  and will  disappear after  10-20 
minutes of operation.
