Not intended for use as a primary heat source.
This ¿ replace is tested and approved as a decorative ¿ re-

in residential heating calculations.
• Do not install or operate damaged ¿ replace.
• Do not modify ¿ replace.
• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies Inc. is strictly prohibited.
• Do not operate the ¿ replace without fully assembling
all components.
• Do not over¿ re.
• Do not install an unvented gas log set. This ¿ replace

sets.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not
approved by Hearth & Home Technologies.
Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility
for, and the warranty and agency listing will be voided by
the above actions.
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 ¿ replace.
• Avoid installing the ¿ 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 ¿ replaces in basements.
Location of the ¿ 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 ¿ 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 ¿ replace location relative to À oor and ceiling
and attic joists.
Before beginning the installation be sure the following tools
and building supplies are available:
Reciprocating saw Framing material
Pliers High temp caulking material
Hammer Gloves
Phillips screwdriver Framing square
Flat blade screwdriver Electric drill and bits
Plumb line Safety glasses
Level Tape measure
1/2-3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 self-drilling screws

CAUTION
• Keep ¿ replace dry.
• Mold or rust may cause odors.

Locating the ¿ replace in a basement, near frequently opened
doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other locations of
considerable air movement can affect the performance and
cause intermittent smoke spillage from the front of the ¿ re-
place. Consideration should be given to these factors before
deciding on a location. See Sections 2 and 10.

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
¿ replace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to
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.
Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling ¿ restops at
each À oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space
to control spread of ¿ re.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever À oor at the ¿ rst level
of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 3.5. V apor and
air in¿ 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 for maximum air tightness.
Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced ¿ berglass in-
sulation. If the ¿ 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 ¿ replace location, the chimney con-
struction and necessary clearances must be considered.
The ¿ replace system and chimney components have been
tested to provide À exibility in construction. Vertical distances
are measured from the base of the ¿ replace as shown in
Figure 5.2.

A. Install the Outside Air Kit
This ¿ replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the ¿ replace system.
See Section 2.
The outside air kit is supplied with this ¿ replace and its use
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 À ow can be minimized 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 combustion air inlet.
See Figure 4.2.
See Figure 4.3 for proper placement of outside air inlet.
The outside air kit is installed on the left hand side of the
¿ replace. See Figure 4.4 for handle location/operation.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
Do not draw outside combustion air from:
• Wall, À oor or ceiling cavity.
• Enclosed space such as an attic or
garage.
• Close proximity to exhaust vents or
chimneys.
Fumes or odor may result.
CAUTION
Risk of Smoke Spillage
Outside air inlet must be located to prevent blockage
from:
• Leaves
• Snow/ice
• Other debris
Blockage may cause combustion air starvation.
