INTRODUCTION
The Fireplace models covered in this manual
are Direct-Vent sealed combustion gas fire-
place heaters designed for residential appli-
cation. Direct-Vent appliances operate with
the combustion chamber completely iso-
lated from the inside atmosphere. All air for
combustion is brought in from the outside
and exhaust gases are vented through the
same direct vent, vent system.
These millivolt appliances are designed to
operate on either natural or propane gas and
may be easily converted to the use of either
gas type with the conversion kit provided. A
millivolt gas control valve with piezo ignition
system provides safe, efficient operation. Ex-
ternal electrical power is required to operate
the optional electrically powered components
if installed. Electrical power must be wired
during appliance installation.
S'assurer que le brùleur et le compartiment
des commandes sont propres. Voir les in-
structions d'installation et d'utilisation qui
accompagnent l'appareil.
