INTRODUCTION

The Fireplace models covered in this manual 
are Direct-Vent sealed combustion gas fi replace 
heaters designed for residential application.  
Direct-Vent appliances operate with the com-
bustion chamber completely isolated from the 
indoor environment.  All air for combustion is 
brought in from the outside and  exhaust gases 
are vented through the same direct vent, co-axial 
(intake/exhaust) vent system.

The Millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas 
control valve with piezo ignition system provides 
safe, effi cient operation. If any optional acces-
sories which require electrical power are being 
installed, the electrical power must be provided 
at the time of appliance installation.

The Electronic appliances have an electronic 
intermittent pilot system provides safe, effi cient 
operation. External electrical power is required 
to operate these appliances.

Provide adequate clearances around air open-
ings and adequate accessibility clearance for 
service and proper operation. Never obstruct 
the front openings of the appliance.

Due to high temperatures the appliance should 
be located out of traffi c and away from furniture 
and draperies.  Locate furniture and window 
coverings accordingly.

These fi replaces are designed as supplemen-
tal heaters. Therefore, it is advisable to have 
an alternate heat source when installed in a 
dwelling.

These appliances are designed to operate on natural 
gas or propane gas only. The use of other fuels or 
combination of fuels will degrade the performance 
of this system and may be dangerous.

Millivolt Models - BTU Input

Millivolt  models come standard with the manu-
ally-modulated gas valve; fl ame appearance and 
heat output can be controlled at the gas valve. 
The BTU Input for millivolt models is shown in 

Tables 1 & 2

:

Electronic Models - 

Electronic models have a fi xed rate gas valve.
The BTU Input for electronic models is shown
