WARNING: Extremely Hot!
Heat and flammability
• Some parts of the fireplace are extremely hot, par-
ticularly the glass window. Use the barrier screen
provided with the trim or a gate to reduce the risk of
severe burns.
• The glass windows can exceed 500°F at full capacity.
• Always keep the appliance clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Be aware of hot wall surfaces! The wall directly above
the fireplace can get very hot when the fireplace
heats. Although safe, it may reach temperatures in
excess of 200ºF depending on choice of trims or op-
tional accessories. Do not touch!
• Be aware of hot hearth/floor surfaces! The hearth or
floor directly in front of the fireplace can get very hot
when the fireplace heats. Although safe, they may
reach temperatures in excess of 200º F depending on
elevation of hearth. Do not step on it! Temperature
of hearth/floor surface will be reduced when barrier
screen is installed.
• Solid wood flooring in front of the fireplace (if al-
lowed) may shrink during the heating season
due to heat.
• Some materials or items, although safe, may discolor,
shrink, warp, crack, peel, and so on because of the
heat produced by the fireplace. Avoid placing candles,
paintings, photos and other combustible objects
sensitive to heat or furniture within 36 inches (0.9m)
around the fireplace.
• Due to its high temperature, the appliance should be
located out of traffic areas and away from furniture
and draperies.
Barrier Screen and Safety
• Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for ser-
vicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operat-
ing the appliance
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperature and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,
young children, and others may be susceptible to
accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recom-
mended if there are at-risk individuals in the house.
To restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an
adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young chil-
dren, and other at-risk individuals out of the room
and away from hot surfaces.
• A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from
the hot viewing glass is provided with this appliance
and shall be installed for the protection of children
and other at-risk individuals.

Heater engines 1100MP is used with propane gas.
The supply pressure must be between the limits
shown in the Ratings section.
The supply connection is 3/8”
NPT male and located on the
right hand side of the firebox.
A shut-offvalve (not supplied)
is required on the supply line to
isolate the unit during service.
See Gas Supply on pages
51-52 for details.
Conversion Kits
The 1100M is supplied as natural gas or propane gas
and is field convertible between fuels. See instructions
packaged with the conversion kits for further
information.
Electrical
The 1100M is designed to run on battery power and
does not require an electrical power source to operate
as a heater. However, it requires electrical power
to operate optional 1195CFK Circulating Fan Kit, or
GV60WIFI WiFi module.
HeatShift™System
The 1100M is designed to allow the installation of
the optional HeatShift System, a convection system
that redistributes the warm air flow away from the
fireplace opening to a more desirable location using
natural convection, without use of a fan.
The warm air flow may be relocated to a position
higher up the wall, or even to another room. The
result is much cooler wall temperatures above the
fireplace opening for locating televisions, artwork, etc.
Please note that the framing and mantel clearances
are affected by the installation of the HeatShift
System. Refer to Appendix D - HeatShift System on
pages 83-101 for more information.
Outdoor Conversion Kit
The 1100M models are supplied standard for indoor
applications and may be adapted for installation
in specific “outdoor” applications protected from
weather as defined in the GV60CKO outdoor
conversion kit manual.

NOTE
Use of optional HeatShift System affects
framing. See Appendix D - HeatShift System
on pages 83-101.

Planning Framing
Top of finished hearth must be
flush with bottom of heater to
accommodate most optional
mantels and trims.
However, the 1140 Four-Sided
trim extends 1-1/2” below the
bottom of the appliance. See
installation instructions packed
with 1140 for more information.
NOTE: Unit will need to be
raised above plywood sub-
floor in most cases due to
combustible hearth/floor
restrictions.
Any shims used underneath
to raise the heater should be
setback 1/2” behind front face
of framing otherwise top face of
shims may be visible.
Insulation board in non-
combustible hearth
When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full
width and depth of the appliance.
Hearth
WARNING
The H5 is a very effective radiant heater. The hearth/floor in front of the heater can get very
hot (in excess of 200ºF). Locating the unit raised above the hearth/floor and using the barrier
screen will greatly reduce hearth temperatures. Any hearth within 4 inches of the base of the
heater must be constructed of non-combustible materials and utilise the insulation board
supplied as a thermal break between the non-combustible hearth finish and the combustible
construction below (see diagrams in the following pages). Note that some materials, although
safe can degrade due to heat—take this into consideration when choosing materials.

15
Unit Raised Above Combustible Hearth or Floor
Rules
1. A hearth is not required. However, any hearth/floor in front of fireplace within 4 inches vertically of the bottom
of the unit must be non-combustible and project a minimum distance as shown on page 16. Hearth/floors
within 4 inches must have a non-combustible finish 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 com-
bustible floor or carpet and the distance between the hearth and the bottom of the fireplace.
3. Combustible baseboards (1 inch thick or less) located on the wall are acceptable provided they are located
below the base of the raised fireplace.

Venting Considerations
*Notes—ALL venting considerations
• Dimensions of venting are based on
using Dura-Vent elbows. Elbow curve
radius dimensions will vary when using
other brands. In general, other brands
have slightly bigger radius.
• 3 inches clearance to combustibles
required above horizontal pipe. Slope
horizontal pipe upwards 1/4 inch per
foot. 1 inch clearance required around
sides and bottom of horizontal pipe and
around vertical pipe.
• When calculating effective pipe lengths
subtract approximately 1-1/2 inch for
pipe joint - for example, a 12 inches pipe
section will add approximately 10-1/2
inches overall.

Appliance Height in Framing
Hearth considerations
• Only a non-combustible hearth can be installed in
front of the appliance if within 4” of the bottom of the
appliance.
• The top surface of the non-combustible hearth must
be at the same level as appliance bottom panel when
using certain trims and accessoires—see pages
14-16.
• The non-combustible hearth in front of the appliance,
if within 4” of the bottom of the appliance, must in-
clude the 1/2” Micore insulation board provided to be
used as thermal break between non-combustible and
combustible material underneath.
Appliance Depth in Framing
• 1130FFK Fixed Framing Kit and 1130CIK Clean Install
Kit install at framing stage and the appliance position
is fixed in the framing. In both cases, the wall finishes
butt up to the frame of the kit.
• All other trims install after the wall finish is applied.
The perimeter of the trims overlap the wall finish;
therefore the thickness of any wall finish materials
must be taken into consideration. The trims have
enough adjustability to allow up to 3/4” thick material
applied over top of the 1/2” thick non-combustible
board. Otherwise the appliance position within the
framing must be adjusted to allow the additional
thickness—see page 25.
Planning Framing

Using 1130FFK—Fixed Framing Kit
Part of the 1130 Fixed Framing Kit installs at the time of
framing the appliance.
The side brackets provided loose with the appliance are
not needed with this kit. See next page.
The positioning brackets and convection gap filler
brackets installed on the appliance are not needed with
this kit and must be removed. See next page.
The 1130 Fixed Framing Kit is not compatible with any
other trim or door kits.
Hearth considerations
You need to know whether there will be a hearth or
not in front of the appliance and some rules must be
considered.
Without hearth (up the wall)
In the case where there is no hearth, the bottom of the
appliance must be raised at least 4” inches above any
combustible floor in front.
With hearth
Only a non-combustible hearth can be installed in front
of the appliance if within 4” vertically of the bottom of
the appliance. See Framing on pages 13-16 of this
manual for hearth requirements details.
The non-combustible hearth in front of the appliance, if
within 4” of the bottom of the appliance, must include
the 1/2” Micore insulation board provided to be used
as thermal break between non-combustible and
combustible material underneath.
