Introducing Quadra-Fire Gas Fireplaces
The information contained in this Owner’s Manual, unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control sys- tems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions, are shown in this section.
Pre-installation Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe when installed in accordance with this Owner’s Manual. Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped in separate packages. The gas logs may be packaged separately and must be field installed.
Read all of the instructions before starting the instal- lation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit. Fail- ure to follow these instructions will void the owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Hearth & Home Technologies Warranty will be voided by, and Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
•Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system component.
•Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
•Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home Technologies.
•Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
•Installation and/or use of any component part not manu- factured and approved by Hearth & Home Technologies, not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or other party approval of such component part or acces- sory.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to determine:
•Where the unit is to be installed.
•The vent system configuration to be used.
•Gas supply piping.
•Electrical wiring.
•Framing and finishing details.
•Whether optional
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on any combustible material other than wood flooring, the fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.
