PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
PRODUCT FEATURES
These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your
direct vent fireplace:
• The venting system may be routed to the outside of your home in
several ways. It may vent through the roof (vertical) or it may vent
to an outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The vent pipe installation is
very important to allow for proper operation. You must follow the
venting instructions very carefully for either vertical or horizontal
applications.
• This fireplace may be installed in any room of your house provided
all local codes and these installation instructions are followed.
• Each time you turn on your fireplace, you may notice some amount
of condensation on the inside of the fireplace glass. This is normal
and will disappear after 10-20 minutes of operation.
• Your direct vent gas fireplace system (fireplace and venting) is a
balanced and sealed gas operating unit. It requires approximately
10-20 minutes of operating time before the flame pattern stabilizes.
