INTRODUCTION
Models GL36PN/P and GL36PNE/P are decora-
tive gas appliances that use a millivolt gas control
and piezo pilot or an electronic gas control valve
with an electronic ignition system respectively.
These systems require a 6", B-type venting system
for operation.
The 6" B-type vent is not supplied by DESA.
For installation guidelines, check your B-vent
instructions.

ance must not be connected to

Models GL36PN and GL36PNE are smooth face
units for natural gas only. The GL36PNP and

gas only. To determine which type of gas your unit
is approved and tested for, check the rating plate on
the lift-out plate located inside the firebox under
the access panel.
