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 out
-
side 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.
• This fireplace requires a wall switch, hand-held
remote or wall thermostat (millivolt) for opera
-
tion (see
Accessories
, page 42).
• The use of a blower requires electricity if
installed. If you plan to install the blower at a
later date, outlet at bottom of fireplace must be
wired during framing.
• Your direct-vent gas fireplace system (fireplace
and venting) is a balanced and sealed gas op
-
erating unit. It requires approximately 10-20
minutes of operating time before the flame
pattern stabilizes.
