Getting Started
Introducing the Heat-N-Glo Gas Fireplaces
Heat-N-Glo direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to oper-
ate 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 are 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.
This model
MUST
use D-Series Direct Vent Compo-
nents and Termination Kits (as indicated in this guide)
for exhausting flue gases
AND
model AK-CFX Air Kit
for combustion air. See venting section for details.
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.
This unit is designed to operate from a wall switch (see
wiring diagram on page 21) or a remote control. 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 re-
mote control, extrusion doors or arch doors —are de-
sired.
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.
