NOVUS REAR DIRECT VENT

4. VENTING  SYSTEM  INSPECTION

The appliance and venting system should be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualified field service

person, to ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.

5. CLEANING THE GLASS

See Figure 44. Never operate this appliance without the glass properly secured in place or if the glass is broken or

chipped.

In the event of glass breakage, carefully remove the glass frame. This will allow the removal of all glass fragments

and sheet metal edge protection strips. Vacuum all remaining glass pieces with a shop vac. 

DO NOT VACUUM IF

PIECES ARE HOT! 

Replace glass only with a Heatilator brand glass panel assembly ordered direct or through your

local distributor. Never use substitute material. Only fully tempered soda lime safety glass or ceramic glass may be

used  on  this  appliance.

6. LOG  REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT

If  removal  of  the  logs  becomes  necessary,  remove

the two  screws at the front of the grate. Grasp the two

outside  upright  grate  bars.  Pull  the  log  toward  the

front and up, off the burner. See Figure 45.

To  replace  the  logs,  grasp  the  two  outside  upright

grate bars. Push and lower the log set onto the burner

pan, making sure the back of the left most grate bar

slides  through  the  grate  mounting  bracket  attached

to the hearth pan.  Attach the two screws at the front of

the grate.
