GC150 SERIES DIRECT VENT GAS APPLIANCE
1. Please read these installation instructions complete-
ly before beginning installation procedures. Failure
to follow them could cause a fireplace malfunction
resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.
2. Always check your local building codes prior to
installation. This installation must comply with all
local, regional, state and national codes and regula-
tions.
3. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. This appliance should also be
inspected annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent inspections/cleaning may be required
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materi-
al, etc. It is imperative that the control compartment,
burners and circulating air passage ways of the
appliance be kept clean.
4. The GC150 fireplace is a vented gas fireplace. Do
not burn wood or other material in this appliance.
5. NEVER leave children unattended when there is a
fire burning in the fireplace.
6. This fireplace may be vented horizontally through an
outside wall or vertically above the roof line and
must not be connected to a chimney flue servicing a
solid fuel burning appliance.
7. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids in
this fireplace. Keep any flammable liquids a safe
distance from the fireplace.
8. While servicing this fireplace, always shut off all
electricity and gas to the fireplace. This will prevent
possible electrical shock or burns. Also, make sure
the unit is completely cooled before servicing.
9. During any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system that exceeds test pressures of 1/2 psig, this
appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the piping system. If test pres-
sures equal to or less than 1/2 psig are used in pres-
sure testing the gas supply piping system, this appli-
ance must be isolated from the piping system by
closing its individual manual shut-off valve during
testing.
10. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service techni-
cian to inspect the appliance and to replace any part
of the control system and any gas control which has
been under water.
11. Be sure to provide adequate clearances around the
air openings into the combustion chamber and ade-
quate accessibility clearances for servicing and
proper operation.
12. The appliance and its 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).
13. Provisions shall be made to provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
14. The appliance area shall be kept clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
15. The flow of combustion and ventilation air should
not be obstructed.
