These are a few facts that can help you un-
derstand 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 (hori

zontal). 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 fireplace may be installed in any room
of your house provided all local codes and
these installation instructions are followed.
