IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Do not light any appliance
Extinguish any open flame
Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything
Open windows and vacate building
Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire department
This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion.
Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you of those people
considered qualified. The room heater should be inspected and cleaned before use and
at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods
or compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty and safety

do not operate the heater. Call
your dealer and arrange for
proper servicing.
It is imperative that control
compartments, screens, or
circulating air passageways of
the heater be kept clean and
free of obstructions. These
areas provide the air necessary

not operating properly in any
fashion or if you are uncertain.
Call your dealer for a full
explanation of your heater and
what to expect.

AFTER
BEFORE
WARNING: Failure to set up the standoffs will result in an extreme fire hazard.
Minimum Framing Dimensions
- A 1/2" clearance is required along
the sides and back of the fireplace.
The 1/2" stand-offs on the sides
and 6-1/4" stand-offs on the top of
the fireplace are designed to
separate the fireplace from the
framing members. These stand-
offs may contact the framing
members but no material may be
placed between the stand-offs.
- Fireplace must be installed on a
level surface capable of
supporting the fireplace and vent
- Fireplace must be placed directly
on wood or non-combustible
surface (not on linoleum or
carpet)
- This heater may be placed in a
bedroom. Please be aware of
the large amount of heat this
appliance produces when
determining a location.

Facing Requirements
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 listed in this manual.
Adhesive
WARNING: Do not use adhesive to secure the cement board or facing. The high
temperatures of the fireplace may cause adhesives to emit odors. Use mastic or thin set (or
other non-combustible, non-odorous adherent) to attach the facing to the cement board.
NOTE: Screws may be used to secure the cement board to the fireplace. Do not penetrate
the fireplace more than 3/4”

(e.g. brick, river rock), install the facing
around the perimeter of the face. You
may wish to make a facing support (see
the illustration to the right). If using an
arch face, you may wish to order the
optional set-up face:

is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel requirements listed in this manual.

Vent Requirements
•Always maintain the
required 1" clearance (2"
clearance above the vent
when an elbow is placed
directly off the top of the
fireplace) to combustible
materials to prevent a fire
hazard. Do not fill air
spaces with insulation.
•The gas appliance and vent
system must be vented
directly to the outside of
the building, and never be
attached to a chimney
serving a separate solid
fuel or gas-burning
appliance. Each direct
vent gas appliance must
use it's own separate vent
system.
•In addition to the
requirements below, follow
the requirements provided
with the vent.
Altitude
Considerations
Use a firestop spacer whenever
passing through a ceiling
(Duravent Part #963)
Vertical Termination

Use a roof flashing and storm collar
whenever passing through the roof

off the top of the fireplace).

- This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have found that
the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
- Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.
Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.
Approved Vent
•Use of of the following 6-5/8" diameter co-axial gas direct vent systems:
Manuafacturer Series
Simpson Dura-Vent Model GS
Selkirk Hearth Products Direct-Temp
American Metal Products Ameri-Vent
NOTE: Always use the high-wind cap for the type of vent you are using (if applicable)
•Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in place.
•Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be used to secure
vent sections together if desired.
•High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section connection (use
high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).
•If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent creates a tight fit. If
it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of the affected sections.
•Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel
•Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)

Approved Vent Configurations
Restrictor Position
A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper combustion for
all vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor position.
The charts for acceptable vent configurations describe which position the vent restrictor must be in.
To Adjust the Restrictor:
Withe the fireplace cool, use the
bent rod included in the owner’s
pack to adjust the plate.
To Access the Restrictor:
1
2
NOTE: The fireplace is
shipped with the restrictor in
position #1 (fully open).
Determine the correct restrictor position (see the charts under
"Approved Vent Configurations" - the stock position is #1).
Lift up the adjustment plate and move it so the correct notch falls into
the slot on the adjustment bracket.
This restrictor is in position 1. This restrictor is in position 2.

Measuring
Vent
Lengths
A maximum of two 90°
elbows may be used.
NOTE: do not use a
90°elbow between
two horizontal
sections.
NOTE: one
additional 45°elbow
may be used between
two horizontal
sections.
- or –
Two 45°elbows may
be used between
vertical sections.

Height 30-1/2"
Vent Height is calculated to
