M. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUESOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glassThis is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue fl amesThis is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from applianceWhen fi rst operated, this appliance 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 appliance. These circumstances may require additional
curing related to the installation environment.
Film on the glassThis 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.
Metallic noiseNoise 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 appliance.
Is it normal to see the pilot
fl ame burn continually?
In an IntelliFire ignition system (IPI), the pilot fl ame should turn off when appliance is turned off.
Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot fl ame to remain lit. In a
standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.

WARNING!
In the U.S.: Vent system termination is NOT permitted in screened
porches. You must follow side wall, overhang and ground clearances
as stated in the instructions.
In Canada: Vent system termination is NOT permitted in screened
porches. Vent system termination is permitted in porch areas with two
or more sides open. Y ou must follow all side wall, overhang and ground
clearances as stated in the instructions.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper
performance of the appliance when the venting system does not meet
these requirements.
CAUTION: IF EXTERIOR WALLS ARE FINISHED WITH VINYL SIDING, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT A VINYL PROTECTOR KIT BE INSTALLED.

This appliance is approved for use with Hearth & Home
T echnologies DVP and SLP venting systems. Refer to Section 17.B for vent component information.
DO NOT mix pipe, fi ttings or joining methods from different
manufacturers.
The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall. There
is no requirement for inspection openings at each joint
within the wall.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation. This appliance
requires a separate vent. DO NOT vent to a pipe serving a
separate solid fuel burning appliance.

D. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent
diagrams were made using the following standards.
• Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length
of pipe (see Figure 7.2).
• Measurements are made from the appliance outer wrap,
not from the standoffs.
• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap) (see Figure
6.5).
• Vertical terminations are measured to bottom of
termination cap.
• Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.

C. Use of Elbows
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects
when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical
aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see Figure
7.1).
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow. On
45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 (216 mm)
inches horizontal run and 8-1/2 (216 mm) inches vertical
run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º
elbows (see Figure 7.1).

E. Vent Diagrams
To replace the fi rst starter elbow with two 45° elbows, refer
to Figure 7.4. All other 90° elbows can be replaced with
two 45° elbows.
General Rules:
• SUBTRACT 3 ft. from the total H measurement for each
90° elbow installed horizontally.
• SUBTRACT 1-1/2 ft. from the total H measurement for
each 45° elbow installed horizontally.
• A maximum of three 90° elbows (or six 45° elbows) may
be used in any vent confi guration. Some elbows may be
installed horizontally.
• Elbows may be placed back to back anywhere in the
system as long as the fi rst 90° elbow is a starter elbow
except as shown in Figure 7.3.
• When penetrating a combustible wall, a wall shield
fi restop must be installed.
• When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling fi restop
must be installed.
• Horizontal runs of vent do not require vertical rise;
horizontal runs may be level.
Note: The NDV ser i es a p pli a nc es c a n ad ap t to S LP se ri e s
vent pip e when vent ing off t he top of th e applia nce. You
must use a DVP-SLP24 adapter which can only be attached
to the appliance starting collar.
When looking at horizontal termination diagrams, the
adapter is not counted as part of the minimum vertical
min.) requirements.
