This ¿replace is tested and approved as a decorative
¿replace. 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 ¿replace. For assistance or additional information
consult a quali¿ed installer, service agency or your
dealer.

2 Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent ¿replaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of ¿replace and chimney
B. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the ¿replace 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 ¿replace.
• Avoidinstallingthe¿replaceneardoors, walkwaysorsmall
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 ¿replaces 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.
• Consultinsurance carrier, localbuilding inspector,
¿reof¿cialsor authoritieshaving jurisdictionabout
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
CAUTION
When planning a ¿replace 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 con¿guration to be used. See Sections
5 and 6.
• Gas supply piping. See Sections 7.
• Framing and ¿nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.
• Whetheroptionalaccessories—devices suchasafan,wall
switch or remote control—are desired. See Section 12.
