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
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.
VENTING AND INSTALLATION
1. Heat -N-Glo gas inserts are designed for recessed in-
stallations into solid fuel Masonry or Factory Built Non
Combustible fireplaces that have been installed in ac-
cordance with the National, Provincial, State and local
building codes.
2. Minimum fireplace opening requirements are shown in
Figure 1 of this installation manual. The firebrick (refrac-
tory) can be removed from a factory built fireplace in or-
der 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 cham-
ber 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: 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 AU-
THORITY 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.
8. Install decorative trim surround. Please refer to instruc-
tions included with the trim surround.
Ensure there are no obstructions to side air
passages by the decorative trim once it is in-
stalled on insert.
When planning a fireplace insert installation, it’s necessary
to determine:
•
The vent system configuration to be used.
•
Gas supply piping.
•
Whether optional accessories—devices such as a wall
switch or remote control—are desired.
