INTRODUCTION
All 36" and 42" models listed within this manual are vented gas fireplaces
that use an electronic control valve and electronic ignition system. A 6"
B-Type venting system and a listed type vent cap are not supplied but are
required for proper operation. See venting instructions on pages 8 and 9.
WARNING: This gas appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney flue servicing a solid fuel burning
appliance.

4542TEN are factory equipped for use with natural gas and must be
converted when intended for use with propane/LP gas. A respective

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before beginning the installation of your appliance, read these instruc-
tions through completely.
This INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS, LLC (IHP) appliance and its
approved components are safe when installed according to this instal-
lation manual and are operated as recommended by IHP. Unless you use
IHP approved components tested for this appliance, YOU MAY CAUSE
A FIRE HAZARD!
The IHP warranty will be voided by and IHP disclaims any responsibility
for the following actions:
A) Modification of the appliance or any of the components.
B) Use of any component part not approved by IHP in combination with
this appliance.
C) Installation and/or operation in a manner other than instructed in this
manual.
D) The burning of anything other than the type of gas approved for use
in this gas appliance.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
This fireplace complies with the National Safety Standards and is listed
and tested by The PFS Corporation to ANSI Z21.50/CSA 2.22 standard
as vented gas fireplace.
NOTICE: Decorative product not for use as a heating
appliance.
WARNING: Installation of this appliance should be
done by a qualified service person well trained in the
installation of such appliances. You will also need a
building permit from your local Building and Safety
Commissioner before installing this appliance; other-
wise your insurance co. may not cover this appliance.
CAUTION: Do not connect appliance before pressure
testing gas piping. Damage to gas valve may result
and an unsafe condition may be caused.
The appliance and it’s individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
For the purpose of input adjustment two pressure taps (for IN and
OUT pressures) are provided on the gas control valve for test gauge
connections to the appliance.
SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your appliance, you
must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Clearances,
page 6).
2. Consider a location where heat output would not be affected by drafts,
air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make instal-
lation easier. Figure 1 shows a plan view of a few common locations.
Flush installations
are recommended where living space is limited or
at a premium and since the space required to enclose the appliance
would be located beyond an outside wall, this would also reduce the
cutting of joists, roof rafters and such. Check local codes for any
restrictions.
Projected installations
can extend any distance into the room. A
projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, finished wall.
Corner installations
make use of space that may not normally be
used and provides a wider and more efficient range for radiant heat
transference.
Internal wall installations
provide a discreet option for room separa-
tion and can also be ideal as an addition to an existing wall.
