We recommend that our gas
hearth products be installed and
serviced by professionals who
are certied in the United States
by NFI (National Fireplace
Institute®).
CAUTION—HOT! HOT! HOT!
This appliance is a HEATING appliance and it becomes very hot when in operation.
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DO NOT PLACE any object, furniture, draperies or other
item LESS THAN 36 inches (0.9 m) IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.
CHILDREN and PETS
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the hearth in front of the replace to temperatures
that, although approved safe, can be quite uncomfortable to touch or step on—particularly
for children and pets. Children and pets should always be supervised when in the room
where the appliance is located. Remote control handset should be kept out of reach of
children. In the presence of children, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you install in front
of the replace: a re screen, doors or, to protect young toddlers, a “hearth gate”—see
Options on page 41.
HOT SURFACES
Be aware that, although safe, some combustible materials and nishes, even though
installed at listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1200DV
requires the installation of the cement board provided with the engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the wall surface if not impeded. Protruding
mantels and projections can help direct the heat away from the wall. AVOID PLACING heat
sensitive items such as televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above replaces or near the
edge of protrusions unless appropriate.
The information contained in this installation manual is believed to be correct at the time of printing.
Miles Industries Ltd. reserves the right to change or modify any information or specications without

State of Massachusetts Carbon Monoxide Detector/Vent Terminal Signage Requirements
Operating your replace for the rst time
When operating your new replace for the rst time, some vapors may be released due to the burning of curing
compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause the ames
to be the full height of the rebox, or even slightly higher, for the rst few hours of operation. It is also possible that
these vapors could set off any smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are quite normal on
new appliances. We recommend opening a window to vent the room. After a few hours use, the vapors will have
disappeared and the ames will be at their normal height.

Hearth Requirements
SAFETY WARNING! The Ventana is a very effective radiant heater. The hearth/oor in front of
the heater can get very hot (in excess of 200ºF). Locating the unit raised above the hearth/oor
or adding one of the optional screen fronts or a generic freestanding screen in front of the unit
can greatly reduce hearth temperatures. Any hearth within 4 inches of the base of the heater
must be constructed of non-combustible materials (see diagrams in the following pages). Note
that some materials, although safe can degrade due to heat—take this into consideration when
choosing materials.
General Hearth Considerations
Top of Finished Hearth
Must Be Flush With
Bottom of Heater to
accommodate some
optional mantels and
trims. See Option section
towards the end of this
manual for optional
accessories.
NOTE:
• Unit will need to be raised
in almost every case to
accommodate hearth or
combustible ooring.
• Non-combustible hearth
required if bottom of
replace is less than 4” from
combustible oor in front.
When the appliance
is installed directly on
carpeting, tile or other
combustible material
other than wood ooring,
the appliance shall be
installed on a metal or
wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the
appliance

Rules
1. Any hearth/oor in front of replace within 4 inches of the bottom of the unit must be non-combustible and project
a minimum distance as shown on page 14. The hearth/oor must have a non-combustible nish applied over
the 1/2 inch insulation board provided with the engine. This insulation board acts as a thermal break.
2. Minimum hearth projection is determined by a combination of the height of the hearth above the surface of
combustible oor or carpet and the distance between the hearth and the bottom of the replace.
3. Combustible baseboards (1 inch thick or less) located on the wall are acceptable provided they are located below
the base of the raised replace.
When the appliance is installed directly on
carpeting, tile or other combustible material
other than wood ooring, the appliance
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel

Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing &
Vapor Barriers
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations
through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such
a manner as to:
• Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather
side by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior
wall surface.
• Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the
wall structure by ensuring the inside wall plate is adequately
sealed to the inside vapor barrier.
• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by
sealing the joints between the outer vent tube and the inner
and outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.

How to Read the Venting Chart
The chart below applies to roof or wall termination.
1. The total length of the vent pipe cannot exceed 40
feet (12.2 m).
2. The minimum vertical height with roof termination is
6 feet (1.83 m).
3. Any combination of rise and run can be used as
long as they are within the allowable limits shown
on the chart below.
4. A maximum of 4 x 90 degrees elbows—or
equivalent (2 x 45 degr. = 90 degr.)—can be used.
5. Each 90 degrees elbow installed on the horizontal
plane is equivalent to a 3 feet horizontal pipe;
therefore, 3 feet must be subtracted from allowable
horizontal run. (45 degrees elbow is equivalent to
18 inches horizontal pipe.)
6. All horizontal pipe runs must be graded 1/4 inch per
foot upwards in the direction of the exhaust  ow.
The  nal pipe length, when terminating through the
wall may be graded downwards slightly to prevent
water migration.
7. Co-linear venting is not allowed.
8. A restrictor is required for many installations—see
next section.

Restrictor
MANY INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE A RESTRICTOR
for improved ame picture and performance, This unit
is supplied with one restrictor having four different
positions or settings. The level of restriction required
depends on the vertical rise in the venting system and,
to a lesser degree, the horizontal run and number of
elbows.
The amount of restriction is based on laboratory tests.
The ideal restrictor position may vary slightly, especially
when the vent pipe length is near the limits of the
acceptable congurations for each type of restrictor.
The chart on the previous page shows the vent
restrictor required relative to the length of the vent pipe.
Venting
To install the restrictor:
1. On an engine previously installed, open the panels
on each side of the window. Remove the window
skirt, the window, the logs, the right and rear top
brick panels.
2. According to the installation, look up the venting
chart on the previous page to know what position
the restrictor should be tted in.
3. Remove the screws (2) on each side of the venting
port.
4. Place the restrictor in the required position over the
two holes.
5. Fit the screws and tighten.
6. Continue the installation or, for an engine previously
installed, replace the right and rear top brick panels,
the logs, the window and the window skirt. Close the
side panels.

Venting
Vent Termination
• The vent terminal must be located on an outside
wall or through the roof.
• This direct vent appliance is designed to operate
when an undisturbed airow hits the outside vent
terminal from any direction.
• The minimum clearances from this terminal that
must be maintained when located on an outside
wall are shown in the gure below. Any reduction
in these clearances could result in a disruption
of the airow or a safety hazard. Local codes or
regulations may require greater clearances.
• The vent terminal must not be recessed into a wall
or siding.
• The vent terminal should be positioned where it will
not be covered by snowdrifts.
• Sidewall vent terminations within 7 feet of grade
require a terminal guard.
