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.

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

Planning Framing
Top of finished hearth must be
flush with bottom of heater to
accommodate most optional
mantels and trims.
However, the 1440 Four-Sided
trim extends 1-1/2” below the
bottom of the appliance. See
installation instructions packed
with 1440 for more information.
NOTE: Unit will need to be
raised above plywood sub-
floor in most cases due to
combustible hearth/floor
restrictions.
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 H6 is a very effective radiant heater. The hearth/floor/exposed surface in front of the
heater can get very hot (in excess of 200ºF). Locating the unit raised above the exposed
surface and using the screen front will greatly reduce this surface’s temperatures. Any
exposed surface 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 exposed surface/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 Exposed Surface
Rules
1. A hearth is not required. However, any exposed surface in front of fireplace within 4 inches vertically of the bot-
tom of the unit must be non-combustible and project a minimum distance as shown on page 16. Hearth/floors/
exposed surface 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 When
Framing
*Notes—ALL venting considerations
• Dimensions of venting are based on
using DuraVent 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 when connected.

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 accessories—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
• 1430 Fixed Framing Kit and 1430CIK 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.

Using 1430FFK—Fixed Framing Kit
Part of the 1430 Fixed Framing Kit installs at the time of
framing the appliance.
The frame fixing 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 1430 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
exposed 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 pages 13–19 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.
