annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is IMPERATIVE that the units
control compartment, burners, and circulating air passageways BE KEPT CLEAN to
provide for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Always KEEP the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
NEVER OBSTRUCT the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the

Installation Codes
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the
fireplace, consult the local building code agency to ensure that you are in
compliance with all applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must conform to the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or the CAN/CGA-
B149 Installation Codes (in Canada). The appliance must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes
with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (in the United States), or to
the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).
These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting room in the U.S.A.
and Canada.
High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas fireplaces are tested and approved for elevations from 0 to
2,000 feet in the U.S.A. and from 0 to 4,500 feet in Canada.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United
States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the
existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent
(4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas
has been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify the
proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000 and 4,500 feet (in
Canada), the input rating must be reduced by ten percent (10%).
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada),
check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for
your location.

Getting
Started
Heat-N-Glo direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to
operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside
of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the
outside.
The information contained in this Installers Guide,
unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and
gas control systems.
Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
This gas fireplace and its components are tested
and safe when installed in accordance with this
Installers Guide. Report to your dealer any parts
damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of
the glass. Do not install any unit with damaged,
incomplete, or substitute parts.
NOTE: FOR MODEL 6000TR ONLY:
These fireplaces are shipped from the factory with a
BTU rating of 27,000 BTUs. The fireplace can be
installed with the vent pipe coming off the top of the
unit or the rear of the unit. If you install the unit with
the vent pipe coming off the top of the unit, you may
run the unit at 31,000 BTU (NG) (30,000 BTU LP),
replace the burner orifice with the orifice included in
the manual bag. DO NOT REPLACE THE ORIFICE
IF YOU ARE USING THE REAR SET OF VENT
COLLARS.
Changing the orifice when venting out the top.
1. Remove the glass door.
2. Using a 1/4 socket, remove the sheetmetal
screws holding the long refractory clip in place.
Remove the logs and refractory as one piece.
3. Remove the protective plastic from the logs.
4. Remove the two sheetmetal screws holding the
burner and remove the burner.
5. Replace the burner orifice with the orifice in-
cluded in the plastic manual bag (#36DMS for
natural gas or #51DMS for propane). Be careful
to hold the brass elbow so you dont kink the
aluminum tube.
6. Reverse the steps to replace the burner, logs,
refractory, and clip.
The vent system components and trim doors are
shipped in separate packages. The gas logs may
be packaged separately and must be field installed.
Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully
during the installation to ensure maximum
safety and benefit. Failure to follow these
instructions will void the owners warranty and
may present a fire hazard.
