Installing The Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before finishing the Hotshot
fireplace insert. For ease of installation, this appliance is equipped
with an approved flexible gas connector. The connector is factoryinstalled and can be connected to the gas line as shown in figure
2.
Natural Gas requires a minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 5.5"
W.C. & a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C. Propane Gas requires a
minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 11" W.C. & a manifold
pressure of 10" W.C. The fireplace gas connection and the main
operating gas valve is located behind the removable brass trim at
the bottom of the unit and need only be attached to the gas line
with an approved fitting, as required by the applicable
installation codes.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
n Thoroughly clean the masonry or solid fuel fireplace and chimney
that in which the insert will be installed.
n The appliance has a gas access hole on the left hand side, and it
is supplied with a flexible gas connector on the left hand side of
the insert (See figure 2). A 1/2" gas supply pipe must be brought
near this connection before installing the hotshot insert.
Clearances
The DHS' clearances to combustible materials are:
Perpendicular Wall 3"
Floor Non-combustible
Mantle (10" wide)* 18 ½"

WARNING:
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass
etching may cause premature glass failure.
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking
and a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal
condition, and is the result of burning of protective coatings on new
metal.
n Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is
a normal biproduct of combustion) which may be visible. Film
can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on
page 7. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with nonabrasive glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is
Kel Kem.
n Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas",
leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion
chamber walls. This can easily be removed using normal
household products.
n Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
n The logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove
dirt, dust and other contaminates. If the logs shift during
cleaning, refer to page 8 for proper positioning.
