L. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUESOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
Blue fl ames
Odor from fi replace
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fi replace warms, this
condensation will disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the fi replace is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When fi rst operated, this fi replace may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from
fi nishing materials and adhesives used near the fi replace. These circumstances may require
additional curing related to the installation environment.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass
cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the fi replace.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the fi replace.
When properly maintained, your fi replace will give you
many years of trouble-free service. We recommend annual service by a qualifi ed service technician.
A. Maintenance Tasks-Homeowner
Installation and repair should be done by a qualifi ed service
technician only. The fi replace should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a professional service person.
The following tasks may be performed annually by the

Attic insulation shield (not shown) must be used here to
keep insulation away from vent pipe if attic is insulated.
Heatilator B-type vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of
the building, and combustion air pulled from the room.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, fi re offi cials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system confi guration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and fi nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For
assistance or additional information, consult a qualifi ed
service technician, service agency or your dealer.
C. Tools and Supplies Needed

D. Inspect Appliance and Components
The following B-vent components are needed for installation.
• Fireplace Box
• Pipe Components
• Firestops
• Attic Insulation Shield
• Elbows
• Strapping
• Roof Flashing or Chase Top
• Termination Cap
• Storm Collar
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
• The vent system components and decorative doors and
fronts may be shipped in separate packages.
• If packaged separately, the log set and appliance grate
must be installed.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
• Read all of the instructions before starting the installation.
Follow these instructions carefully during the installation
to ensure maximum safety and benefi t.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! Damaged parts
could impair safe operation. DO NOT install damaged,
incomplete or substitute components. Keep appliance dry.
Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility for,
and the warranty will be voided by, the following actions:
• Installation and use of any damaged appliance or vent system
component.
• Modifi cation of the appliance or vent system.
• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies.
• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not approved
by Hearth & Home Technologies.
Any such action may cause a fi re hazard.
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Electric Shock!
DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under wa-
ter. Call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the appli-
ance and to replace any part of the control system and/or
gas control which has been under water.
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the following must be considered:
• Install the fresh air kit. Install the intake on the side of
the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.
• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment.
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the fi replace.
• Avoid installing the fi replace near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces.
• Recessed lighting should be of “sealed can” design; attic
hatches weather stripped or sealed; and attic mounted
ductwork and air handler joints and seams taped or
sealed.
• Basement installations should be avoided due to stack
effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent fi replaces in basements.
Location of the fi replace and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in Figure 4.2, the chimney should:
• Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the
building envelope. This helps to produce more draft,
especially during lighting and die-down of the fi re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the effects of wind turbulence.
• Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven
roof lines and other obstructions.
Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized. Consider the fi replace location relative to fl oor
and ceiling and attic joists.
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important to consider the required clearances to walls, Figures 5.1 and
5.2.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate
clearance around air openings and for service access. Due
to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out
of traffi c and away from furniture and draperies.

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling fi restops and wall shield
fi restops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the
requirements of local building codes. Therefore, you MUST
check local building codes to determine the requirements
to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infi ltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infi ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may
be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness. To
further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fi re-
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should
be caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced
insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement
slab, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to
prevent conducting cold up into the room.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specifi ed air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to
prevent accidental contact.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with fi replace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a fi re.
Note: The appliance must be raised 1 1/4 in. (32 mm) off fl oor so
the Harbor System can be used. Adjust framing and vent locations
accordingly.
