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,
¿ re of¿ cials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
When planning a ¿ 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 con¿ guration to be used. See Sections
5 and 6.
• Gas supply piping. See Section 7.
• Framing and ¿ nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.
• Whether optional accessories are desired. See
Section 12.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent ¿ replaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of ¿ 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 ¿ 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 ¿ 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.

E. Construct the Chase
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.

CAUTION
Sharp Edges
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses
during installation.
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.

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 ¿ replace assembly to the point where the smoke exits
the termination cap.
• Subtract the effective height of the ¿ replace assembly from
the overall height of the ¿ 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 ¿ replace installation.
• Determine the number of ceiling ¿ 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 a 30-deg (SL430) 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.
¨
Table 5.2
• 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 ¿ 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 ¿ nd the number of chimney
sections required and the model number of those particular
chimney parts.
• Whenever the chimney penetrates a À oor/ceiling, a ceiling
¿ restop must be installed.
• The effective height of the ¿ replace assembly is measured
from the base of the ¿ 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 ¿ 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 À ue is placed to the inside of the À 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 ¿ 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 ceiling ¿ restop may be above or below the joist of an
insulated ceiling.

WARNING
Fire Risk
• Do not operate fireplace before
reading and understanding operating
instructions.
Failure to operate ¿ replace properly may
cause ¿ 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 ¿ replace. Make certain that installation and
operation of the ¿ replace system is in accordance with these
instructions.
It is extremely important that the ¿ re be supervised when-
ever the ¿ replace is in use. It is also recommended that an
annual inspection be performed on the ¿ replace system to
determine if the À 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
¿ 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 ¿ re must be
replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc.
Most newly constructed houses or existing homes ¿ 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 ¿ 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 ¿ replace venting properly.
This ¿ replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the ¿ replace sys-
tem.
See Figure 9.1 for location and operation.
CAUTION
Outside air control handle is HOT. Adjust before lighting
¿ 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 ¿ replace.
E. Firescreen
A ¿ rescreen is always provided to control sparks. It must
be closed whenever the ¿ replace is in use. Glass doors or
¿ rescreens must not be used to hold burning material inside the ¿ replace. Only those glass doors speci¿ cally tested
and listed for use with the speci¿ c ¿ replace model should be
used. Screens should be closed when the glass doors are
closed.
WARNING
Fire Risk
• Close ¿ rescreen when burning ¿ replace.
• Do not use ¿ rescreen or glass doors to
hold burning material in ¿ replace.
Firescreen controls sparks.
Glass may break or burning material may
roll out.
F. Glass Doors
Most ef¿ cient ¿ 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 À ue damper must be in full open position, and is oper-
ated by moving the handle up toward the top of the ¿ replace.
Before lighting the ¿ re, verify this by looking up from the in-
side of the ¿ replace. Always operate this ¿ 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 ¿ replace and to allow air to
pass between the burning logs. It is important to keep the ¿ re
off the hearth and to allow the ashes to collect beneath the
¿ re, thereby forming a layer of additional heat protection.
WARNING
Fire Risk
• Use only factory installed integral grate.
May cause over¿ re.
H. Wood Fuel
Firewood
Your ¿ replace performance depends on the quality of the
¿ 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 ¿ 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 ¿ re with soft wood; the ¿ re will give
off quick heat to bring the ¿ 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 ¿ replace
operates is the amount of moisture in the wood. The majority of the problems ¿ 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 ¿ replace and try to burn
it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what you are
doing if you burn unseasoned wood.
Seasoning
Seasoned ¿ 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 ¿ 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 ¿ 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 ¿ replace.
• Within space required for loading or ash
removal.

I. Starting a Fire
Check the À ue damper to be certain it is in the full open po-
sition. Place crumpled or twisted paper under the ¿ replace
grate. Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to
form a layer above the paper.
The ¿ res must be built on the ¿ replace grate, without danger
of the burning fuel falling out of the ¿ replace opening.
Light the paper and add small pieces of wood until a hot bed
of embers has been established.
After establishing the ¿ re bed, and the small ¿ rewood is burn-
ing briskly, add a minimum of three average sized pieces of
split ¿ rewood, place the wood in such a manner to allow
combustion air and À ames between them.
Note: When ¿ rst lighting your ¿ replac e, it may be neces-
sary to pre-warm the À ue to establish a draft. This is done
by holding a rolled up piece of burning newspaper under
the À ue damper for a few moments. This will help reduce
smoke spillage during start-up.
Note: The ¿ rst three or four ¿ res should be of moderate
size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the
¿ replace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may
notice an industrial odor the ¿ rst few ¿ 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 À ammable vapors and liquids clear of
¿ replace.
• Do NOT store À ammable materials close
to the ¿ replace.
• Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter À uid or similar
liquids to start or “freshen up” a ¿ re in this
¿ replace.
• Keep all such liquids well away from the
¿ replace while it is in use.
Combustible materials may ignite.

Troubleshooting
This ¿ replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila-
tion is provided to allow proper draft to the ¿ replace system.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for
the improper performance of the ¿ 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 ¿ replace is located.
A. Understanding Vent Problems
If smoke spillage occurs from a ¿ replace opening when the
door is open and the proper chimney height, À ue size, and
con¿ guration requirements for the installation have been
met, there is either a leakage in the À ue, a blockage in the

E. Limited Warranty
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 (1 1th) 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
and the right to discontinue styles and products.
