Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this
manual for reference. It is your guide to the safe and proper
operation of this insert.
1. This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indi-
cated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible
for use with other gases unless a certied kit is used.
2. For propane/LP insert, do not place propane/LP supply
tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane/LP supply
tank(s) outdoors. To prevent performance problems, do not
use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100 lbs. capacity.
3. If you smell gas
• shut off gas supply.
• do not try to light any appliance.
• do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building .
• immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
INSTALLER
Please leave these instructions with the appliance.
OWNER
Please retain these instructions for future reference .
IMPORTANT SAFETy INFORMATION
This insert is a vented product. This insert must be properly
installed by a qualied service person. The glass door must be
properly seated and sealed. If this unit is not properly installed
by a qualied service person with glass door properly seated
and sealed, combustion leakage can occur.
CARBON MONOxIDE POISONING: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with head-
aches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the
insert may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air at
once! Have the insert inspected and serviced by a qualied
service person. Some people are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people
with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the inuence
of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-
making agent is added to each of these gases. The odor helps
you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases
can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION
INSTALLING ABOVE 2000 FEET
• In the USA, the appliance must be derated 4% for every 1,000 ft above 2,000 ft elevations.
• In Canada, these appliances are certied for altitudes of 0 – 2000 ft, and must be de-rated by 10 percent for installations
between 2000 and 4,500 ft. (derate an additional 4% for every 1,000 ft. above 4,500 ft. elevations).
The 490IDVNV, 490IDVPV, 380IDVNV, and 380IDVPV are equipped with a variable output gas control.

INSTALLATION PLANNING
Plan for the installation of your insert. This includes determining the size of replace in which unit is to be installed, length of
venting to be used, and nishing details, and whether any optional accessories (i.e. wall switch, or remote control) are desired.
Consult your local building code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, including permits and inspections.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
• This insert should have sufcient access for its safe operation and maintenance.
• The ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
• Minimum clearances to combustibles, such as mantels, must be maintained. See Figures 3 and 4, pages 9 and 10.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the insert.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other ammable liquids may be stored.
• These units can be installed in a bedroom. See National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 (current edition), the
Uniform Mechanical Code (current edition), and Local Building Codes for specic installation requirements.
IMPORTANT: Your direct vent insert was designed to be installed in an existing wood burning replace.
The location and clearances are subject to local building codes.
INSERT APPLICATIONS
Before installing the gas replace insert, consider the functioning needs of the replace. Conrm the size of the replace
cavity, the design of the chimney, and the availablility of the gas supply and electricity for the insert fan.
IMPORTANT: Your direct vent insert is designed to be only vented vertically with a minimum height of
10 feet.
When the unit is installed into a woodburning replace, the minimum distance the mantel can be placed above the replace is
governed by local building codes applicable to woodburning replaces. Consult local authorities having jurisdiction for these
clearances. The underside of the mantel will become warm. Use only nishes which are heat resistant and do not discolor.

WARNING
CLEARANCES
MINIMUM FIREPLACE SIZE/CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
Maintain the following minimum clearances for service and maintenance. See pages 9 and 10.

57D0215 9
8" (203mm)
INSTALLATION
INSERT CLEARANCES
No combustibles (ie: drapes, doors) may be within, or swing within, 36" of the front of the inset.
MANTEL CLEARANCES
NOTE: The combustible area above the facing must not protrude more than 3/4" from the facing. If it
does, it is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel requirements shown above.
HEARTH REqUIREMENTS
The insert must be installed on a non-combustible hearth extending a minimum of 12" from the replace opening (local
codes may require a larger hearth). The hearth must also extend to both sides of the face (see the table on page 7).

INSTALLATION
INSERT PLACEMENT
• Insert must be placed within a code-conforming masonry replace or a tested and listed zero-clearance (UL-127, solid
fuel) replace. Repair any replace damage prior to installation.
• Because the insert uses a circulation blower, clean the replace, smoke shelf, and chimney before installing.
• This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this appliance produces when
determining a location.
The gas line
should be installed
prior to insert
placement.
Run the on/off switch wires
to the right — behind the
surround panels
(See Page 24)
Run the power
cord either side of
the insert along
the face.
Use the leveling
bolts for replaces
with recessed oors
The insert
protrudes into the replace.
