Hearth
WARNING: Extremely Hot!
Heat and flammability
• Some parts of the fireplace are extremely hot, par-
ticularly the glass windows. Use the barrier screens
provided 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 walls directly above
the fireplace can get very hot when the fireplace
heats. Although safe, it may reach temperatures in ex-
cess of 200ºF (93°C) depending on choice of optional
accessories. Do not touch!
• Be aware of hot hearth/floor surfaces! Any projections
directly around the fireplace can get very hot when
the fireplace heats. Although safe, they may reach
temperatures in excess of 200ºF (93°C)depending on
elevation of hearth. Be careful of touching these! Tem-
perature of projection surfaces will be reduced when
barrier screens are installed.
• 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 it high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic areas and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Clothing or flammable material should not be placed
on or near the appliance.
Barrier Screen and Safety
• 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.
• 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 adjust-
able safety gate to keep toddlers, young children, and
other at-risk individuals out of the room and away
from hot surfaces.
• Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for ser-
vicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operat-
ing the appliance.

Specifications
Approval & Codes
This appliance is certified to ANSI Z21.88/CSA 2.33
American National Standard / CSA Standard for Vented
Gas Fireplace Heaters for use in Canada and USA, and
to CGA 2.17-91 High Altitude Standard in Canada. This
appliance is for direct vent installations.
This appliance complies with CSA P.4.1-15 Testing
method for measuring annual fireplace efficiencies.
The installation must conform to local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.1. Only
qualified licensed or trained personnel should install
this appliance.
This appliance must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
Ratings
*High Altitude Installations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to 4,500
feet (1,370 m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the current
ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
Heating value of gas in some areas is reduced to
compensate for elevation—consult your local gas utility
to confirm.
For installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m)
in Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction.

Supply Gas
Heater engine 1400MN is used with natural gas.
Heater engine 1400MP 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 page 48 for details.
Conversion Kits
The 1400M 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 1400M 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 decorative lighting and optional 1495CFK
Circulating Fan Kit or GV60WIFI WiFi module.
HeatShift™System
The 1400M 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 pages
79–98 for more information.
WARNING
Electrical connection IS NOT ALLOWED
when adapting appliance for outdoor use.

Combustible floor
1/2” Micore supplied with appliance. Use as a
thermal break between non-combustible hearth
material and combustible material underneath.
Combustible Framing Allowed Beneath Fireplace.
Do not install the appliance directly on carpet.
Note: This appliance may be installed in outdoor, weather protected environments as
defined in the GV60CKO Outdoor Conversion Kit instruction manual.
WARNING
HOT WALL SURFACES! The wall directly
above the fireplace is constructed of
non-combustible materials and, although
safe, it may reach temperatures in excess
of 200° F (93° C) depending on choice of
trims. Do not touch. Finish the wall using
materials suitable for these temperatures.
WARNING
HOT HEARTH SURFACES! The heath in
front of the fireplace may become very
hot. Locating the appliance higher than
the surface of hearth and installing the
barrier screen will reduce temperatures.
Note that some materials, although safe,
may deteriorate due to heat—carefully
evaluate which materials to use.
