Getting Started

Introducing the Heat-N-Glo Gas Fireplaces

Heat-N-Glo B-type vent gas fireplaces are designed to op-

erate with all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of the

building.
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, gas logs and trim doors are

shipped in separate packages. Log installation instructions

are provided in the manual bag assembly shipped with the

unit.

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 Heat-N-Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat-N-Glo

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 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.

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.
