 This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
The appliance is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system and a safety control system designed to
protect against improper venting of combustion products. The appliance will not function without being
connected to a proper venting system.
The draft hood must be installed in the same room as the atmospheric pressure zone serving the unit for
combustion air.
WARNING: Operation of this appliance when not connected to a properly installed and maintained
venting system or tampering with the vent shut-off system can result in carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
The appliance may be vented using 4 in. diameter aluminum or stainless steel flexible gas liner running
inside a masonry chimney or the flue of the factory-built fireplace. The vent system must be properly
terminated with a suitable vent cap. The liner must form a complete connection from the flue collar to
the vent cap. Follow the vent component manufacturer’s instruction. Also check with local gas
authorities for proper venting methods and procedures.
Connecting the Vent Liner to the Appliance
Run the flexible gas liner down the chimney or flue. The appliance has a detachable flue adapter plate
for ease of installation. Connect the the liner to the flue connector plate and fasten with screws and a 4”
gear clamp. Before placing the appliance into the fireplace, check the hearth of the fireplace to see if it is
level with the front of the fireplace. If it is not, measure the depth of the hearth. Loosen the three screws
of the leveling “L” bracket at the back of the appliance. Lower it to the measurement obtained and
tighten the screws. Make sure the gas and electrical supply line are properly connected to the appliance.
Slide the appliance into the fireplace, and at the same time, slide the flue connector plate back onto the
top of the appliance. Check the leveling of the appliance and attach the faceplate to the appliance before
sliding the appliance all the way into the fireplace.
