Installation
INTRODUCTION
Models (V)GL36CR(P)/CL(P) are decorative
gas fireplaces that use a millivolt gas control
valve with millivolt ignition system. Models
(V)GL36CR(P)E/CL(P)E use an electronic gas
control valve with electronic ignition system.
These systems require a 6" B-type vent that is not
supplied by DESA. For installation guidelines,
check your B-vent instructions.
WARNING: This gas appli-
ance must not be connected to
a chimney flue servicing a solid
fuel burning appliance.
If you are uncertain as to what gas your unit is
approved and tested for, check rating plate on
inside of fireplace opening or consult your local
distributor of DESA products.

To determine the safest and most efficient location
for your appliance, you must take into consider-
ation the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances
(see Clearances, page 6).
2. The location should be in a place where drafts,
air conditioning ducts, windows or doors will
not affect fireplace heat output.

or roof rafters will make installation easier.
