Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

• 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 about
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

When planning a fi replace installation, it is necessary to de-
termine the following information before installing:

• Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections
3 and 4.

• The vent system confi guration to be used. See Sections
5 and 6.

• Gas supply piping. See Section 7.

• Electrical wiring. See Section 7.

• Framing and fi nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.

• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall
switch or remote control —are desired. See Section 12.

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fi replaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure

• Location of fi replace and chimney

WARNING

Asphyxiation Risk

Negative pressure can cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft
properly for safe operation.

B. Negative Pressure

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail­able for the fi replace to operate properly. Causes for this
imbalance include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.).

• Range hoods.

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances.

• Clothes dryers.

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning.

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system.

• Upper level air leaks: recessed lighting, attic hatch
opening, duct leaks.

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the follow­ing must be considered:

• Install the outside 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 a “sealed can” design; attic
hatches weather stripped or sealed; attic mounted duct
work 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.

Heat & Glo • EM-415/EM-415H • 31317 Rev Q • 10/06

Location of the fi replace and chimney will affect performance.
As shown in Figure 2.1 the chimney should:

• Be installed through the warm airspace 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.

E. Construct the Chase

¨

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the fi re-
place and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on
the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase.

Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build­ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require­ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.

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. All outer walls need to be insulated.

Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling fi restops at
each fl oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space
to control spread of fi re.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor at the fi rst level
of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 3.5. Vapor and
air infi ltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per
regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Hearth
& Home Technologies recommends that the inside surfac­es be sheet rocked and taped (or the use of an equivalent
method) for maximum air tightness.

Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced fi berglass in-
sulation. If the fi replace is being installed on a cement slab,
we recommend that in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or
other raised platform be placed underneath to prevent con­ducting cold up into the room.

Three examples of chase applications are shown in Fig­ure 3.6.

1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.

2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in
chase.

3. Chase constructed on roof.

All outside walls should be insulated.

F. Chimney Requirements

When planning your fi replace location, the chimney con-
struction and necessary clearances must be considered.
The fi replace system and chimney components have been
tested to provide fl exibility in construction. Vertical distances
are measured from the base of the fi replace as shown in
Figure 5.2.

• Minimum overall straight height 16.5 ft (5.03 m)

• Minimum height with offset/return 16.5 ft (5.03 m)

• Maximum height 90 ft (27.43 m)

• Maximum chimney length between an offset
and return

• Maximum distance between chimney
stabilizers

• Double offset/return minimum height 20 ft (6.1 m)

• Maximum unsupported chimney length
between the offset and return

• Maximum unsupported chimney height above
the fi replace

• Maximum unsupported chimney above roof 6 ft (1.83 m)

20 ft (6.10 m)

• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses
during installation.

A. Install the Outside Air Kit

This fi replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fi replace system.
See Section 2.

Using an outside air kit is highly recommended to minimize
the effects of negative pressure within the structure. We
recommend you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the
performance of the outside air kit. Cold air fl ow can be mini-
mized by putting a small dip in the duct creating a cold air
trap. This trap can also help prevent heat build-up and ex­hausting out the intake due to the stack effect. The outside
air kit inlet should be positioned in a manner that will not al­low snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In some installations
the air duct may need to be run vertically. In such an instal­lation, a 3 ft (.914 m) height difference must be maintained
from the top of the uppermost chimney section to the outside

WARNING

To determine the chimney components needed to complete
your particular installation, follow the steps below:

• Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace
installation. This dimension is measured from the base of
the fi replace assembly to the point where the smoke exits
the termination cap.

• Subtract the effective height of the fi replace assembly from
the overall height of the fi replace installation (measured
from the base of the fireplace to the bottom of the
termination cap).

• Refer to Table 5.1 to determine what components must
be selected to complete the fi replace installation.

• Determine the number of ceiling fi restops, stabilizers,
roof flashing, etc. required to complete the fireplace
installation.

B. Using Offsets/Returns

To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be
offset using an offset/return.

An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney
section(s) may be used between an offset and return.

Perform the following steps to determine the correct chim­ney component combination for your particular installation:

WARNING

Fire Risk

• Draft will be restricted if offset/returns
greater than 30° are used.

• Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable
it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 5.3. Use
dimension “A” to determine chimney section required to
achieve the needed shift.

• After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 5.2
and fi nd the “A” dimension closest to but not less than the
distance of shift needed for your installation.

• The “B” dimension that coincides with the “A” dimension
represents the required vertical clearance that is needed
to complete the offset and return.

• Read across the chart and fi nd the number of chimney
sections required and the model number of those particular
chimney parts.

• Whenever the chimney penetrates a fl oor/ceiling, a ceiling
fi restop must be installed.

• The effective height of the fi replace assembly is measured
from the base of the fi replace to the top of the starter collar.
See Dimensions in Section 12.

C. Assemble the Chimney Sections

Attach either a straight chimney section or an offset to the
top of the fi replace (depending on your installation require-
ment). Chimney sections are locked together by pushing
downward until the top section meets the stop bead on the
lower section.

The inner fl ue is placed to the inside of the fl ue section below
it. The outer casing is placed outside the outer casing of the
chimney section below it. See Figure 5.4.

Note: The ceiling fi restop MUST be nailed to the bottom
of the ceiling joists EXCEPT when the space above is
uninsulated and the attic insulation shield is not being used
(see Figure 5.5). When the attic insulation shield is used
the ceilng fi restop may be above or below the joist of an
insulated ceiling.

E. Install the Attic Insulation Shield

An insulation shield must be installed when there is a pos­sibility of insulation coming into contact with the factory built
chimney system.

• Bend the tabs at the top of the attic insulation shield inward.
This will help keep the chimney section centered in the
shield.

• Position the shield over the vertical chimney section where
it penetrates a ceiling fi restop.

• Slide the shield down until it rests on the ceiling fi restop.
The ceiling fi restop will support the insulation shield. See
Figures 5.6 and 5.7.

• ALWAYS maintain specifi ed clearances
around chimney and ceiling firestop
systems.

• Install ceiling fi restops as specifi ed.

Failure to keep insulation or other material
away from chimney pipe may cause fi re.

F. Double-check the Chimney Assembly

Continue assembling the chimney sections up through the
ceiling fi restops as needed. While doing so, be aware of the
height and unsupported chimney length limitations given un­der Section 5.A. Chimney Requirements.

Check each section by pulling up slightly from the top to en­sure proper engagement before installing the succeeding
sections. If they have been connected correctly, they will not
disengage when tested.

G. Secure the Chimney

When offsets and returns are joined to straight pipe sections,
they must be locked into position with the screws provided*
(outer only), using the predrilled holes. To prevent gravity
from pulling the chimney sections apart, the returns and the
chimney stabilizers have hanger straps for securing these
parts to joists or rafters. See Figure 5.8.

WARNING

Fire Risk

• Do not operate fireplace before
reading and understanding operating
instructions.

Failure to operate fi replace properly may
cause fi re.

A. General Information

Fireplaces, as well as other woodburning appliances, have
been used safely for many years. It has been our experience
that most problems are caused by improper installation and
operation of the fi replace. Make certain that installation and
operation of the fi replace system is in accordance with these
instructions.

It is extremely important that the fi re be supervised when-
ever the fi replace is in use. It is also recommended that an
annual inspection be performed on the fi replace system to
determine if the fl ue system needs to be cleaned, or as in
the case of any appliance, if minor repairs are required to
maintain the system in top operating condition.

WARNING

HOT! DO NOT TOUCH.
SEVERE BURNS MAY RESULT.
CLOTHING IGNITION MAY RESULT.

Glass and other surfaces are hot during
operation and cool down.

• Keep children away.

• CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as
fi replace.

• Alert children and adults to hazards of high
temperatures.

• Do NOT operate with protective barriers removed.

• Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other
combustibles away.

WARNING

Fire Risk

• For use with solid wood fuel or decorative gas
appliance only.

B. Outside Air

A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for combustion
to take place. Whatever air is consumed by the fi re must be
replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc.
Most newly constructed houses or existing homes fi tted with
tightly sealed doors and windows are relatively air tight. In
this case, an outside air source must be made available to
feed combustion air from outside the home.

An outside air control handle allows you control of the out­side air inlet if your fi replace is equipped with this option.
Use of outside air for combustion is highly recommended to
conserve heated air within the structure and to provide make
up air to keep the fi replace venting properly.

This fi replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fi replace sys-
tem.

See Figure 9.1 for location and operation.

CAUTION

Outside air control handle is HOT. Adjust before lighting
fi re.

C. Clear Space Near the Fireplace

Combustible materials must not be stored on the hearth ex­tension. Room furnishings such as drapes, curtains, chairs
or other combustibles must be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) from the
open front of the fi replace.

E. Firescreen

A fi rescreen is always provided to control sparks. It must
be closed whenever the fi replace is in use. Glass doors or
fi rescreens must not be used to hold burning material in­side the fi replace. Only those glass doors specifi cally tested
and listed for use with the specifi c fi replace model should be
used. Screens should be closed when the glass doors are
closed.

WARNING

Fire Risk

• Close fi rescreen when burning fi replace.

• Do not use fi rescreen or glass doors to

hold burning material in fi replace.

Firescreen controls sparks.
Glass may break or burning material may

roll out.

F. Glass Doors

Most effi cient fi replace operation using glass doors is with
the doors open. When the doors are open the screen must
be closed. Only Hearth & Home Technologies glass doors
may be used. See Figure 9.2 for proper glass door opera­tion.

D. Flue Damper

The fl ue damper must be in full open position, and is oper-
ated by moving the handle up toward the top of the fi replace.
Before lighting the fi re, verify this by looking up from the in-
side of the fi replace. Always operate this fi replace with the
damper fully open. Please note: Down drafts, obstructions,
damaged or poor (wet) fuels can cause smoke spillage.

See Figure 9.1 for location and operation.

G. Grate

The factory installed integral grate must be used to hold the
logs from falling out of an open fi replace and to allow air to
pass between the burning logs. It is important to keep the fi re
off the hearth and to allow the ashes to collect beneath the
fi re, thereby forming a layer of additional heat protection.

WARNING

Fire Risk

• Use only factory installed integral grate.

May cause overfi re.

H. Wood Fuel

Firewood

Your fi replace performance depends on the quality of the
fi rewood you use. All seasoned wood, regardless of spe-

cies, contains about 8,000 BTU’s per pound, and hard­woods have a greater density than soft woods. A piece
of hardwood will contain about 60% more BTU’s than
an equal size piece of soft wood. Firewood is commonly
sold by the cord (128 cu. ft.). A cord of seasoned oak
(hardwood) would contain about 60% more potential en­ergy than a cord of seasoned pine (soft wood).

Examples of soft wood trees are Douglas fi r, pine, spruce,
and cedar, poplar, aspen and alder. Soft woods require
less time to dry, burn faster and are easier to ignite than
hardwoods.

Examples of hardwood trees are oak, maple, apple, and
birch. Hardwoods require more time to season, burn
slower and are usually harder to ignite than soft woods.

The best wood fuel is a combination of soft wood and
hardwood. Start the fi re with soft wood; the fi re will give
off quick heat to bring the fi replace up to operating tem-
perature, and then the hardwood can be added for slow,
even heat and longer burn time.

Moisture

Regardless of which species of wood you burn, the single
most important factor that effects the way your fi replace
operates is the amount of moisture in the wood. The ma­jority of the problems fi replace owners experience are
caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.

Freshly cut wood can be as much water as it is wood,
having a moisture content of around 50%. Imagine a
wooden bucket that weighs about eight pounds. Fill it
with a gallon of water, put it in the fi replace and try to burn
it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what you are
doing if you burn unseasoned wood.

Seasoning

Seasoned fi rewood is nothing more than wood that is
cut to size, split and air dried to a moisture content of
around 20%. The time it takes to season wood varies
from around nine months for soft woods to as long as
eighteen months for hardwoods. The key to seasoning
wood is to be sure it has been split, exposing the wet
interior and increasing the surface area of each piece. A
tree that was cut down a year ago and not split is likely
to have almost as high a moisture content now as it did
when it was cut.

The following guideline will ensure properly seasoned
wood:

• Stack the wood to allow air to circulate freely around
and through the woodpile.

• Elevate the woodpile off the ground to allow air
circulation underneath.

• The smaller the pieces, the faster the drying process.
Any piece over 6 in. (152 mm) in diameter should be
split.

• Cover the top of the woodpile for protection from
rain and snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends
completely. Doing so may trap moisture from the
ground and impede air circulation.

The problems with burning wet, unseasoned wood are
twofold: First, you will receive less heat output from wet
wood because it requires energy in the form of heat to
evaporate the water trapped inside. This is wasted ener­gy that should be used for heating your home. Secondly,
this moisture evaporates in the form of steam which has
a cooling effect in your fi replace and chimney system.
When combined with tar and other organic vapors from
burning wood it will form creosote which condenses in
the relatively cool fi replace and chimney.

WARNING

Fire Risk

• Do NOT burn wet or green wood.

• Store wood in dry location.

• Stack wood so both ends are exposed to
air.

Wet, unseasoned wood can cause
accumulation of creosote.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Do NOT store wood:

• Closer than required clearances to
combustibles to fi replace.

• Within space required for loading or ash
removal.

I. Starting a Fire

Check the fl ue damper to be certain it is in the full open po-
sition. Place crumpled or twisted paper under the fi replace
grate. Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to
form a layer above the paper.

The fi res must be built on the fi replace grate, without danger
of the burning fuel falling out of the fi replace opening.

Light the paper and add small pieces of wood until a hot bed
of embers has been established.

After establishing the fi re bed, and the small fi rewood is burn-
ing briskly, add a minimum of three average sized pieces of
split fi rewood, place the wood in such a manner to allow
combustion air and fl ames between them.

Note: When fi rst lighting your fi replace, it may be neces-
sary to pre-warm the fl ue to establish a draft. This is done
by holding a rolled up piece of burning newspaper under
the fl ue damper for a few moments. This will help reduce
smoke spillage during start-up.

Note: The fi rst three or four fi res should be of moderate
size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the
fi replace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may
notice an industrial odor the fi rst few fi res. This is consid-
ered normal.

CAUTION

Odors and vapors released during initial
operation.

• Curing of high temperature paint.

• Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Keep combustible materials, gasoline and
other fl ammable vapors and liquids clear of
fi replace.

• Do NOT store fl ammable materials close
to the fi replace.

• Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fl uid or similar
liquids to start or “freshen up” a fi re in this
fi replace.

• Keep all such liquids well away from the
fi replace while it is in use.

Combustible materials may ignite.

Troubleshooting

This fi replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the fi replace system.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for
the improper performance of the fi replace system caused
by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down
drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechan­ical exhausting devices which will create a negative air pres­sure within the structure where the fi replace is located.

A. Understanding Vent Problems

If smoke spillage occurs from a fi replace opening when the
door is open and the proper chimney height, fl ue size, and
confi guration requirements for the installation have been
met, there is either a leakage in the fl ue, a blockage in the

the conditions which can cause each of these kinds of spill­age problems is essential to their solution.

• Flue Leakage
Check for improperly connected fl ue joints or a damaged

fl ue joint in the chimney system. Such leakage would
reduce draft (air would be drawn in through the leaks rather
than through the fi replace). The result might be diffi cult

Maintenance and Servicing the Fireplace

A. Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fi t-
ting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a noncombustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dis­persed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all embers have thoroughly cooled.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Disposal of ashes

• Ashes should be placed in metal container with tight
fi tting lid.

• Do not place metal container on combustible
surface.

• Ashes should be retained in closed container until all
embers have thoroughly cooled.

WARNING

B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning

Inspect the chimney internally for obstructions and construc­tion damage. Flue pipe joints and seams must be continu­ous and mechanically tight.

The chimney should be inspected once every two months
during the heating season.

If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
the risk of a chimney fi re.

Refer to Figure 11.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.

C. Firebox Refractory

Check fi rebox refractory for excessive cracks or gaps. If
cracks exceed 1/4 in. (6 mm) in width the refractory should
be replaced. See Section 12 for replacement information.

WARRANTY

FOR HEAT & GLO FIREPLACES

The limited warranty will not become effective until you have mailed the completed warranty card to:

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.

20802 Kensington Blvd., Lakeville, MN 55044.

This card must be mailed within 60 days of the fireplace installation.

Subject to the conditions set forth herein, HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES INC. (HHT) extends the following
limited warranty with respect to your Heat & Glo fireplace, excluding accessories, chimney components and glass
doors.

If HHT is satisfied that any part or portion of the fireplace covered by this warranty is defective in material or work­manship under normal use and service as described in the operating instructions, HHT will take the following
actions:

1. Within the first five (5) years from the date of installation, HHT shall, at its option, replace or repair any such
defect in material or workmanship, at HHT’s expense. HHT SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
OTHER LABOR COSTS, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES.

2. During the sixth (6th) through the (10th) years after the date of installation, HHT shall supply replacement
parts or parts at no charge, but SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LABOR, TRANSPORTATION,
OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES.

3. During the eleventh (11th) through the fifteenth (15th) years after date of installation, HHT will send to you,
FOB its factory, replacement parts (if available) at the current minimum wholesale price, but HHT SHALL
NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LABOR, TRANSPORTATION OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES.

4. During the first six (6) months after installation, HHT shall, at its option, replace or repair the glass doors
and any electrical components, if operation is faulty. (This does not include glass panels broken during
shipment, misuse or careless handling.) After the first six (6) months, HHT will sell to you, FOB its factory,
replacement parts at the current list price, but HHT SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LABOR,
TRANSPORTATION OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES. IF GLASS DOORS OTHER THAN FACTORY
DOORS ARE USED ALL WARRANTY AND LIABILITY ON THE FIREPLACE IS VOIDED.

HHT may discharge its entire warranty liability by refunding the price of the product.

Products made by other manufacturers, sold with the fireplace or thereafter are not covered by this limited warranty.

This limited warranty will be void if the fireplace is not installed according to the installation instructions. The limited
warranty also is void if the fireplace is not operated, at all times, according to the operating instructions furnished.
The limited warranty will also be void if the fireplace is removed from the place originally installed.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL APPLY TO THE FIRE­PLACE AFTER THE ABOVE LIMITED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.

In states that do not allow limitations on how long implied warranty lasts, or do not allow exclusion of indirect dam­ages, those limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have additional rights not covered in this
limited warranty.

HHT reserves the right to make changes at anytime, without notice, in design, material, specifications and prices
