Getting Started
Introducing the Heat-N-Glo Gas Appliances
Heat-N-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.
The information contained in this
Installers Guide
, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas appliance diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas insert 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 surrounds are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs are 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.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the own-
er’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
The Heat-N-Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat-N-Glo
disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
• Installation of damaged fireplace or vent system component.
• Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
• Installation other than as instructed by Heat-N-Glo.
• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not manu-
factured and approved by Heat-N-Glo, not withstanding
any independent testing laboratory or other party approval
of such component part or accessory.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.
VENTING AND INSTALLATION
1. Heat-N-Glo gas inserts are designed for recessed instal-
lations into solid fuel masonry or factory built non-com-
bustible fireplaces that have been installed in accordance
with the National, Provincial, State and local building codes.
2. Minimum fireplace opening requirements are shown in
Figures 1 and 2 of this installation manual. The firebrick
(refractory) can be removed from a factory built fireplace
in order to gain minimum gas insert opening requirements.
WARNING: Under no circumstances is cutting
of sheet metal surfaces allowed for installation.
If the factory built fireplace has no gas ac-
cess holes provided, an access hole of 1” di-
ameter (25mm) or less may be drilled through the
lower sides or bottom of the combustion chamber
in a proper workmanship like manner.
3. To assure top performance, safety and efficiency, inserts
must be installed with an approved flue liner as per CAN/
CGA B-149 or National Fuel Code ANSI Z223 and these
instructions.
WARNING: A HEARTH OR HEARTH EXTEN-
SION (IF PRESENT) MUST COMPLY WITH EI-
THER OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THE SOLID-FUEL
BURNING FIREPLACE MANUFACTURER’S SPECI-
FICATION, OR 2) LOCAL BUILDING CODES RE-
QUIRED BY AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.
WARNING: THE SOLID FUEL FIREPLACE HAS
BEEN CONVERTED FOR USE WITH GAS
ONLY AND CANNOT BE USED FOR BURNING
WOOD OR SOLID FUELS UNLESS ALL ORIGINAL
PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE FIRE-
PLACE HAS BEEN REAPPROVED BY THE AUTHOR-
ITY HAVING JURISDICTION.
4. The solid fuel fireplace’s flue damper must be fully locked
in the open position or removed for installation.
5. The chimney must be cleaned and in good working order
and constructed of noncombustible materials.
6. Make sure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly so air
cannot leak into the chimney.
7. Install the insert without the trim surround and make all
gas, venting, and electrical connections.
WARNING: Modification of any sheetmetal or
fiber surfaces is strictly PROHIBITED in the
installation of this appliance.
Only trim kit(s) supplied by the manufacturer shall
be used in the installation of this appliance.
8. Install decorative trim surround. The surround is tested
AND approved with this gas insert AND may cover exist-
ing air circulation vents or grills on the solid fuel fireplace
into which it is installed. Should the surround not cover
all ventilation grill surfaces, the grill should be left open.
NOTE: DECORATIVE TRIM SURROUND HAS BEEN
TESTED AND APPROVED TO COVER EXISTING AIR
CIRCULATION VENTS OR GRILLS.
WARNING: Only the surround, as supplied,
may be used to cover integral grills on the
solid fuel burning fireplace. No other components
such as shrouds, sheet metal plates, etc. may be
used to seal off vents. Remote grills or openings
outside of the surround MUST NOT be covered or
sealed.
