B. Design and Installation Considerations

Heat & Glo direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional outside air source is required.

Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

NOTICE: The blower motor present in this appliance will generate sound during operation. The effects of the increased sound level can be minimized with careful planning during installation of the system. Locating the convection intake grill in an area remote of immediate living space will reduce the effects of the added sound generated during operation.

Before installing, determine the following:

Where the appliance is to be installed.

The vent system configuration to be used.

Gas supply piping.

Electrical wiring requirements.

Framing and finishing details.

Where wall switch is to be located.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified service technician, service agency or your dealer.

D. Inspect Appliance and Components

Carefully remove the appliance and components from the packaging.
