1 Listing and Code Approvals
A. Appliance Certification
This fireplace system has been tested and listed in accor-
dance with UL 127 standards by Underwriters Laboratories
Inc. for installation and operation in the United States.
This fireplace has been tested and listed for use with the
optional components specified in this manual. Glass doors
are required. Optional components may be purchased sep-
arately and installed at a later date. Installation of an outside
air kit will require significant reconstruction and is best if in-
stalled at the time of fireplace installation.
Heat & Glo is a registered trademark of Hearth & Home
Technologies Inc. Not intended for use as a primary heat source.
This fireplace is tested and approved as a decorative fire-
place. It should not be factored as a primary heat source
in residential heating calculations.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause injury or property damage.
Refer to the owner’s information manual provided with
this fireplace. For assistance or additional information
consult a qualified installer, service agency or your
dealer.

2 Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of fireplace and chimney
B. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the fireplace to operate properly. Causes for this
imbalance include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.).
• Range hoods.
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances.
• Clothes dryers.
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning.
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system.
• Upper level air leaks: recessed lighting, attic hatch
opening, duct leaks.
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the follow-
ing must be considered:
• Install the outside air kit. Install the intake on the side of
the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.
• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment.
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace.
• Avoid installing the fireplace near doors, walkways or small
isolated spaces.
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design; attic
hatches weather stripped or sealed; attic mounted duct
work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed.
• Basement installations should be avoided due to stack
effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent fireplaces in basements.
Asphyxiation Risk
Negative pressure can cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft
properly for safe operation.
WARNING
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,
fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
CAUTION
When planning a fireplace installation, it is necessary to de-
termine the following information before installing:
• Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections
3 and 4.
• The vent system configuration to be used. See Sections
5 and 6.
• Gas supply piping. See Section 7.
• Electrical wiring. See Section 7.
• Framing and finishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall
switch or remote control—are desired. See Section 12.
