Introduction

The Harman Serenity III Direct Vent Gas Fireplace is a listed gas-fired direct vent room fireplace tested by Intertek Testing Services/Warnock Hersey to ANSI Z21.88-2002/ CSA2.33-M02. CAN-CGA-2.17M91.

The installation of the Serenity III Direct Vent Gas Fireplace must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1 — latest edition and CAN 1 B1-149.1

and .2 Installation Code.

Also for use in mobile (manufactured) homes after home is sited.

Mobile (manufactured) home installations must adhere to current editions of Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or CSA Z240.4.

CAUTION: This appliance must be vented to the outside.

Installation and repair of the Serenity III Direct Vent Gas Fireplace should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and circulating air pas-

sageways of the Serenity III be kept clean.

When operating your Harman Serenity III Gas Fireplace, respect basic safety standards. Read these instructions carefully before you attempt to operate the fireplace. Failure to do so may result in damage to property or personal injury and may void the product warranty.

Consult with your local building code agency and insurance representative before you begin your installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for permits and follow-up inspections.

Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable location for your Serenity III Gas Fireplace. Observing required clearances to combustible materials, the proximity to a safe chimney or venting system location, and the accessibility of the gas and electrical supply must all be considered. In addition, selecting a location that takes advantage of the building's natural air flow is also desirable to maximize the heating effectiveness of the fireplace. In many cases, this is a central location within the building.

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

Due to high temperatures, the Serenity III Direct Vent Gas Fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.

Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed on or near the appliance. Surveiller les enfants. Garder les vetements, les meubles, lessence ou autres liquides a vapeur inflammables lin de lappareil.

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket permanently located (mobile) home, where not prohibited by local codes.

This appliance is only for use with the type(s) of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.

Cet appareil doit etre utilise uniquement avec les types de gas indiques sur la plaque signaletique. Ne pas l utiliser avec d autres gas sauf si un kitde conversion dertifie est installe.

IMPORTANT FEATURE

More Air

Air Gate Blower System

Typically in gas fireplaces the blower (which is usually an option) is placed to blow air up the back of the firebox without any method to keep the air pressure from being lost. This method allows air to flow freely around the blower when the blower is off but gives up a large percentage of the blowers efficiency when it is on.

The Air Gate Blower System gives you the best of both worlds.

Blower Off

When the blower is off the air gate is in the open position which allows air to flow freely through the air chamber and up through the heat exchanger.

Air Gate Open

When the blower is turned on, the air pressure from the blower forces the air gate to seal the air chamber. This forces all the air from the blower to travel through the heat exchanger producing two to three times more air than other brands of gas fireplaces.

FLAME HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

There are separate adjusters for the front and rear burners. These adjusters can be accessed by reaching to the left side of the control panel and to the back of the unit. Turn the adjusters counterclockwise (up) to increase flame height and clockwise (down) to decrease. See above left. Adjusting the flames too high will cause them to have black tips and cause sooting. Sooting can cause the glass to get dirty.

Pilot Flames

If pilot flames are less than shown at left, use pilot adjuster shown on page 36, to increase flames,

Warning: The unit and adjuster may be hot. Wear gloves and arm protection if making adjustments while in operation
