VENTING INSTALLATION
Continued
CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING
After completing and checking electrical, gas and vent connections,
follow lighting instructions and allow main burner to run for approxi-
mately 5 minutes. Hold a match or butane lighter flame, near opening
between glass and fireplace face and play it along entire length of
opening (Smoke may also be used). Proper venting will tend to draw
flame or smoke into appliance. Improper venting, escaping or spill-
age of burned gas, is indicated when match flickers or goes out (see
Figure 12). Smoke will also tend to disperse away from appliance.
If appliance is not venting properly, shut it off and notify your installer
or a qualified service agency to inspect venting system.
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
Your INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS, LLC (IHP) B-vent fireplace
has been tested and approved in the USA for elevations from 0-2,000
feet.
When installing a non-high altitude fireplace at an elevation above
2,000 feet, you may need to decrease the input rating by changing
the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Reduce input 4% for
each 1,000 feet above sea level. Check with your local gas company
for proper orifice size identification.
Consult your local gas company to help determine the proper orifice
for your location.
For assistance with any high altitude installation contact IHP’s Cus-
tomer Service Department at 1-800-655-2008.
