Clearance Requirements
The top back and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is one inch (25
mm). The back of the fireplace may be recessed 16 1/4
inches (419 mm) into combustible construction.
The minimum clearance from the top face of the fireplace to
combustible finishing materials such as drywall is 1/2 inch
(13mm).

Figure 3. Framing Dimensions
The distance from the unit to combustible construction is to
be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to the
combustible construction N T from the screw heads that
secure the unit together.
Minimum Clearances from the B-Type Vent Pipe to
Combustible Materials is 1 inch (25mm) all around the
pipe.
Step 2. Framing the Firep ace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND ALL COVERING
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING.
* The clearance to the ceiling is measured from the top
of the unit excluding the standoffs (see Figure 12).
Framing should be constructed of 2 X 4 lumber or heavier.
WARNING:
To ensure proper clearances
the front framing header
must be installed on its
narrow edge and to the front
of the frame.

Step 3. Negative Pressure Make-up Air
Negative Pressure warning: When negative pressure is
present an atmospherically vented fireplace (with a draft
hood) may not function properly and it may down draft. In
the case of a gas appliance spillage of the combustion
gases may occur. This may create a dangerous carbon
monoxide situation in the house.
The causes of negative pressure to a house can include
the following:
 Stack effect in the building.
 Exhaust only appliances (mechanically and
atmospherically vented).
 Inadequate make-up air (which is increasingly
more prevalent in new construction).
N TE: This fireplace will operate correctly only if adequate
ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the fireplace
system. Heat-N-Glo assumes no responsibility for the
improper performance of the fireplace system caused by
inadequate draft due to environmental conditions down
drafts tight sealing construction of the structure or
mechanical exhausting devices which create a negative air
pressure within the structure where the fireplace is located.
It is recommended that all natural venting non-air tight gas
fireplaces have outside air connected to them. It is also
recommended that the building be mechanically or passively
balanced to allow atmospherically vented appliances such
as top vented gas fireplaces with draft hoods to draft
properly. If the home experiences negative pressure or is
likely to experience negative pressure connection to an
outside air source is mandatory.
Installing ptional utside Make-up Air:
This unit is equipped to accept outside air. By using outside
make-up air the amount of room air used for combustion
will be reduced. It is recommended that an AK-TV air kit be
used with this appliance.
WARNING: IN A NEGATIVE PRESSURE C N-
DITI N (LIKELY T CCUR IN NEW H MES
THAT D N T HAVE ADEQUATE MAKE-UP
AIR) THE UTSIDE AIR KIT MUST BE IN-
STALLED T BTAIN PR PER PERF R-
MANCE AND T HELP PREVENT SPILLAGE

Step 4. Insta ing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approva s
Model SL-350TV is approved to use 4-inch (102mm)
diameter B-type vent. B-type vent must be used when the
vent system is within combustible construction.
This model may also use single wall rigid or flexible gas
vent IF and NLY IF the vent system is installed within
non-combustible construction such as a masonry chimney.
The same diameter noted above for B-type vent must be
used for single-wall vent. See Figure 5.
For B-type vent the clearance to combustibles is 1-inch.
Follow vent manufacturers REQUIRED clearances.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the
type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

AND THE FIREPLACE SURROUND (TOP AND SIDES)
ARE SEALED, A 00° F. MINIMUM SEALANT MATE-
RIAL MUST BE USED. THESE JOINTS ARE NOT RE-
QUIRED TO BE SEALED. ONLY NON-COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL (USING 00° F. MINIMUM ADHESIVE, IF
NEEDED) CAN BE APPLIED AS FACING TO THE FIRE-
PLACE SURROUND. SEE THE DIAGRAM BELOW.
Hearth Extensions
A hearth extension may be desirable for aesthetic reasons.
However ANSI or CAN/CGA testing standards do not require
hearth extensions for gas fireplace appliances.
Figure 13. Sealant Material
Installing the Trim
Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified
clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace
but MUST NEVER overlap onto the front face. The joints
between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides
can only be sealed with a 300° F (149° C) minimum sealant.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,
NEVER BSTRUCT R M DIFY THE AIR INLET/
UTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble brass brick tile or other non-combustible
materials can be used to cover up the gap between the
sheet rock and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When
overlapping on both sides leave enough space so that the
bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door removed.
Removing Grate Shipping Support
Remove the log pack and hood if applicable.
Bend top retaining tab of grate shipping support into
vertical position (see Figure 14).
Lift grate slightly upward with one hand so that the grate
clears the support.
Slide shipping support to side remove and discard.

Positioning the Logs
If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not
need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged
separately refer to the instructions that accompany the
logs. Save the log instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.

Step 12. Before Lighting the Firep ace
Before lighting the fireplace be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
 Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
 Before lighting the fireplace double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
 Before lighting the fireplace double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
!
!
Double-check that grate shipping support was re-
moved (see page 16).
 Make sure that the grate is resting directly on the refrac-
tory.
Double-check for faulty components
 Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGER US and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
N TE: The fireplace should be run for 8 hours on the initial
start-up. This will help to cure the chemicals used in the
paint and logs.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines unless the gas
valve has been turned to the FF position in which
case the air would have to be purged.
Step 13. Lighting the Firep ace
Youve reviewed all safety warnings youve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks you know the vent system is
unobstructed and youve checked for faulty components.
Now youre ready to light the fireplace.
WARNING: PLEASE REFER T THE USERS
MANUAL F R ALL CAUTI NS, SAFETY, AND
WARNING INF RMATI N PERTAINING T THE
LIGHTING AND PERATI N F THE FIREPLACE.

EMBER MATERIALS
Placing the Ember Material
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. The bag
labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard glowing ember
material. To place the ember material:
 Remove the mesh or open the glass doors (if equipped).
 Place dime size pieces of ember material about 1/2 inch
apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press em-
bers into burner ports. Cover the top of the burner with a
single layer of ember material. For best performance do
NOT place embers on the ports at the rear of the burner
(see Figure 15).
 Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire-
place servicing. The bag of embers provided is sufficient
for 3 to 5 applications.
 Replace the mesh or close the glass doors (if equipped)
on the unit.

4Maintaining and Servicing Your Fireplace
Firep ace Maintenance
Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and main-
tenance will depend on use and the type of installation you
should have a qualified service technician perform an appli-
ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.
See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each
fireplace maintenance task.
IMP RTANT: TURN FF THE GAS BEF RE SERVICING
Y UR FIREPLACE.
Replacing old ember material
Frequency: Once annually during the checkup.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.
Replace old ember material with new dime-size and shape
pieces of Golden Ember (DE-93) and Glowing Ember (050-
721). New ember material should be placed alternately on
top of the burner - a layer of Golden Ember a layer of
Glowing Ember and so on. Save the remaining ember
material and repeat this procedure at your next servicing.
For more information see Placing Ember Material.
Cleaning Burner and Controls
Frequency: Once annually.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment fireplace
logs and burner areas surrounding the logs.
Checking Flame Patterns, Flame Height
Frequency: Periodically.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
