OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code.
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI flame setting, with no adjustment in flame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands
from an optional wired wall switch and/or the wireless
remote (RC300AU).
2. If using a wired wall switch with the module in REMOTE
mode, the flame output can be adjusted with the HI/
LO selector switch on the module. See Figure 2.3.
Note that the flame HI/LO selector switch will become
inactive once an optional remote control (RC300AU) is
programmed to the control module. Note that the control
module will always ignite the fireplace on HI and remain
so for the initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO
is switched to the LO position, the flame output will
automatically drop to the lowest setting after the flame
has been established for 10 sec. After this 10 second
period, the flame can be adjusted from HI to LO with
the switch.
3. The control module has safety feature that automatically
shuts down the fireplace after 9 hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the
RC300AU remote.
4. If you intend to use both an optional wired wall switch
and the RC300AU remote control to operate your
fireplace, the wall switch will override any commands
given by the remote.
5. The module has the capability to recognize potential
malfunctions. If these occur, it will fail to ignite and/or
respond to a command to ignite via the wall switch and/
or remote. In this case, the module may have gone
into LOCK-OUT mode. In this state, it will emit a RED/
GREEN LED error code. To reset the error code, switch
the selector to OFF, and then back to REMOTE or ON.
If the ignition command again fails, the module will emit
an LED error code, prior to going back into LOCK-OUT
mode. Contact your dealer for service if this occurs.

L. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue flames This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused
by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Odor may
also be released from finishing materials and adhesives used around the appliance.
Film on the glass
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing
process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas fireplace glass cleaner may be necessary. See
your dealer.
Metallic noise
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the appliance.
Is it normal to see the pilot flame burn
continually?
In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot flame should turn off when appliance is
turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot flame to
remain lit.

B. Design and Installation Considerations
Heat & Glo direct vent gas appliances are designed to op-
erate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of
the building. No additional outside air source is required.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping requirements.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
D. Inspect Appliance and Components
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
• The vent system components and decorative doors and
fronts may be shipped in separate packages.
• If packaged separately, the log set and appliance grate
must be installed.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
•Read all of the instructions before starting the instal-
lation. Follow these instructions carefully during the

5Framing and Clearances
A. Selecting Appliance Location
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important to
consider the required clearances to walls (see Figure 5.1).
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate
clearance around air openings and for service access.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be locat-
ed out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
NOTICE: Illustrations reflect typical installations and are

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling firestops and wall shield
firestops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes
for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,
you MUST check local building codes to determine the
requirements to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-
side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-
lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
NOTICE: Measure heater dimensions and verify framing
methods and wall covering details, before framing
construction begins.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fire-
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with un-
faced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a
cement surface, a layer of plywood may be placed under-
neath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.
C. Clearances
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly
on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other
than wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specified air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent
accidental contact.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with fireplace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a fire.
The top and back of heater are defined by stand-offs.
The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall extending
past the face of the heater is 25 mm.
The back of the heaters may be recessed into combustible
construction.
In planning the installation for the heater it is necessary
to determine where the unit is to be installed, the type of
flue system to be used (straight out, corner, or elevated),
and whether optional accessories (wall switch or remote
control) are desired. Gas supply piping should also be
planned. Refer to the appliance data plate on the base
pan of the heater for all gas pressures and input rate
information.
The heater can be mounted on any of the following surface:
1. A flat surface (minimum 6 mm base).
2. Four (4) corner supports.
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks). These
supports must be positioned so they contact all four (4)
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
Heater framing can be built before or after the heater is set
in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate
wall covering and heater facing material. The heater fram-
ing should be constructed of 2 in. X 4 in. (51 x 102 mm)
lumber or heavier. The framing headers may rest on the
heater standoffs. Refer to Figure 5.1 and Figure 5.3 for
heater and framing reference dimensions.
Note: Not intended for heater insert.
