C. High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet
in the U.S.A. and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above
2000 feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifi ce 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 orifi ce size, check with
the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
WARNING
Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
D. Non-Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are
those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete,
slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnace at 750º C, shall be considered
non-combustible materials.
E. Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant fi bers, plastics, or other material that can ig-
nite and burn, whether fl ame proofed or not, or whether
plastered or unplastered shall be considered combustible
materials.
Heat & Glo direct vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of
the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
No additional outside air source is required.
CAUTION
Check building codes prior to installation.

fi rebox in a proper workmanship - like manner. This access
hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after
the gas supply line has been installed.
• Install gas line into fi rebox cavity.
• Check local codes and gas line sizing requirements
following NFPA51. See Section 8.
E. Fireplace Conversion Notice
Permanently attach the label with the following warning
to the inside lower back of the fi replace fi rebox into which
the insert is being installed. Silicone may be required to
properly secure the label.
WARNING

specifi cation.
• Local building codes required by authority
having jurisdiction.
• NFPA 211
F. Remote Control
The receiver for the remotes must be installed BETWEEN
the base pan of the insert and the fi rebox of the wood-
burning fi replace (see photo below).
• Wear protective gloves and safety
glasses during installation.
The vertical vent termination system installed on this model
includes:
• One 3-foot section stainless steel fl exible pipe (included
with insert).

pipe.
B. Connecting Vent Pipe
Reference instructions in the termination kit.
• Install the 3-inch fl exible vent pipe(s) down through the
chimney.
• Secure the exhaust fl exible vent pipe to the 3 foot section
stainless steel flexible vent pipe using the factoryinstalled 3-inch collar in the stainless steel section of
pipe (see Figure 7.1).
• Use 3 screws to attach either a 4 foot or 30 foot section
of inlet air vent to the inlet collar on the collar slide plate
(see Figure 7.1). NOTE: The collar slide plate may be
removed from appliance to aid installation.
• Seal opening between fl ex vent and chimney just above
insert. Unfaced fi berglass insulation may be used for this
purpose.
Only an approved Hearth & Home Technologies

solid fuel burning fi replaces.
• No other components such as shrouds, sheetmetal plates, etc., may be used to seal off vents.
WARNING
Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams
or failure to use only parts specifi cally approved with this
appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
Figure 7.2
• Trim chimney top plate to minimize excess overhang or
bend over fl ue tile (see Figure 7.2).

C. Placing, Securing and Leveling the
Appliance
• Install insert (without surround attached) into existing
fi replace while pulling collar slide plate forward.
• Install gas line into hole provided on insert side.
• If applicable install remote control wires into insert side
(see Section 6, F.).
• Secure collar slide plate to appliance by placing locking
handle into position with locking tabs (see Figure 7.1)
and secure with #8 screw.
• Level the appliance from side to side and front to back. If
necessary, use the leveling legs included with the insert
to set each corner of the base.
• Position any excess fl exible vent pipe back up into
chimney without sagging. Twist and push flex vent
together to shorten.
• Install fiberglass insulation pieces to back face of
surround.
