These are a few facts that can help you understand

and enjoy your direct-vent fireplace:

•  The venting system may be routed to the out-

side of your home in several ways. It may vent

through the roof (vertical) or it may vent to an

outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The vent

pipe installation is very important to allow for

proper operation. You must follow the venting

instructions very carefully for either vertical or

horizontal applications.

•  This fireplace may be installed in any room of

your house provided all local codes and these

installation instructions are followed.

•  This fireplace requires a wall switch, hand-held

remote or wall thermostat (millivolt) for opera-

tion (see Accessories, page 42).

•  The  use  of  a  blower  requires  electricity  if

installed. If you plan to install the blower at a

later date, outlet at bottom of fireplace must be

wired during framing.

•  Your direct-vent gas fireplace system (fireplace

and venting) is a balanced and sealed gas op-

erating unit. It requires approximately 10-20

minutes of operating time before the flame

pattern stabilizes.
