INTRODUCTION
The Fireplace models covered in this manual
are Direct-Vent sealed combustion gas fi replace
heaters designed for residential application.
Direct-Vent appliances operate with the com-
bustion chamber completely isolated from the
indoor environment. All air for combustion is
brought in from the outside and exhaust gases
are vented through the same direct vent, co-axial
(intake/exhaust) vent system.
The Millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas
control valve with piezo ignition system provides
safe, effi cient operation. If any optional acces-
sories which require electrical power are being
installed, the electrical power must be provided
at the time of appliance installation.
The Electronic appliances have an electronic
intermittent pilot system provides safe, effi cient
operation. External electrical power is required
to operate these appliances.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Note: Installation and repair should be per-
formed by a qualifi ed service person. The
appliance should be inspected annually by a
qualifi ed professional service technician. More
frequent inspections and cleanings may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, etc.
These appliances comply with National Safety
Standards and are tested and listed by OMNI-
Test Laboratories, Inc. (Report No.116-F-28-5)
to ANSI Z21.88a-2003 (in Canada, CSA-2.33a-
2003), and CAN/CGA-2.17-M91 in both USA and
Canada, as vented gas fi replace heaters.
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-latest edition, or the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1-latest
edition. The appliance, when installed, must
be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes,

Provide adequate clearances around air open-
ings and adequate accessibility clearance for
service and proper operation. Never obstruct
the front openings of the appliance.
Due to high temperatures the appliance should
be located out of traffi c and away from furniture
and draperies. Locate furniture and window
coverings accordingly.
These fi replaces are designed as supplemen-
tal heaters. Therefore, it is advisable to have
an alternate heat source when installed in a
dwelling.
These appliances are designed to operate on natural
gas or propane gas only. The use of other fuels or
combination of fuels will degrade the performance
of this system and may be dangerous.
Millivolt Models - BTU Input
Millivolt models come standard with the manu-
ally-modulated gas valve; fl ame appearance and
heat output can be controlled at the gas valve.
The BTU Input for millivolt models is shown
