These are a few facts that can help you un
-
derstand 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 (hori
-
zontal). 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
operation (see
Accessories
, page 37).
• This fireplace does not require electricity
to operate.
• Only the blower requires electricity if in
-
stalled and if you plan to install the blower at
a later date, do not forget to wire the outlet
at the bottom of the fireplace when framing.
• A piezo ignitor and ceramic electrode cre
-
ate spark to ignite the pilot light. It does not
require any matches, batteries or any other
sources of ignition to light the pilot.
• 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 ap
-
proximately 10-20 minutes of operating
time before the flame pattern stabilizes.
• Fireplaces with the suffix of -HA have been
designed to operate at altitudes of 4000
feet and above.
Install and use fireplace with care. Follow all
local codes. In the absence to local codes,
use the current
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54*
