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.

ance, read these instructions through completely.

(see Clearances, page 6).
