Introducing the Hearth & Home Technologies
Gas Fireplaces
Hearth & Home Technologies direct vent gas fireplaces are
designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from
outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to
the outside.
The information contained in this
Installers Guide
, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this
Installers Guide
.
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
installation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure 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 accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
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.
