Approvals and Codes

Appliance Certification

The Hearth & Home Technologies fireplace model discussed
in this Installers Guide have been tested to certification
standards and listed by the applicable laboratories.

Certification

MODEL: BRAVO, AZTEC
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories
TYPE: Vented Gas Fireplace Heater
STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88-1998•CSA2.33-M98•UL307B

ANSI Z21.88-2000•CSA2.33-M00•UL307B

Installation Codes

The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before
installing the fireplace, consult the local building code
agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all
applicable codes, including permits and inspections.

In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must
conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the
United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes
(in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70
(in the United States), or to the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric
Code (in Canada).

High Altitude Installations

U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without
requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the
U. S. A. and in Canada.

When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2,000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a
2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. or 10% for elevations
between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating value
of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To
identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas
utility.

If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4,500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.

These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting
room in the U.S.A. and Canada.

Getting Started

Introducing the Hearth & Home Technologies
Gas Fireplaces

Hearth & Home Technologies direct vent gas fireplaces are
designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from
outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to
the outside.

The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.

Pre-install Preparation

This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any

unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.

The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs may be packaged
separately and must be field installed.

Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the
owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.

Warranty

The Hearth & Home Technologies Warranty will be voided
by, and Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any
responsibility for, the following actions:

• Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system com­ponent.

• Modification of the fireplace or direct 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 manufac­tured and approved by Hearth & Home Technologies, not
withstanding any independent testing laboratory or other
party approval of such component part or accessory.

ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.

When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:

• Where the unit is to be installed.

• The vent system configuration to be used.

• Gas supply piping.

• Electrical wiring.

• Framing and finishing details.

• Where to install wall switch.

• Whether an optional remote control is desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on

any combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.
