Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, re ofcials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system conguration to be used.
• Gas supply piping requirements.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a screen
front or sound kit—are desired.
Note: The location of the power vent termination cap
should be taken into consideration. HHT recommends
that the cap be positioned to minimize the effects of wind,
rain & snow on the termination cap.
Installation and service of this appliance should be performed by
qualied personnel. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends
HHT Factory Trained or NFI certied professionals.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For
assistance or additional information, consult a qualied
service technician, service agency or your dealer.
C. Inspect Appliance and Components
• Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
• This appliance requires the use of a power vent
termination cap (supplied).
• Vent system components, logs, rebox refractory lining
are shipped separately.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
• Read all of the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benet.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! Damaged parts
could impair safe operation. DO NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute components. Keep appliance dry.
Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any responsibility
for, and the warranty will be voided by, the following actions:
• Installation and use of any damaged appliance or vent
system component.
• Modication of the appliance or 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 approved
by Hearth & Home Technologies.
Any such action may cause a re hazard.
B. Tools and Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure that the following
tools and building supplies are available.
Tape measure Framing material
Pliers Hammer
Phillips screwdriver Manometer
Gloves Framing square
Voltmeter Electric drill and bits (1/4 in.)
Plumb line Safety glasses
Level Reciprocating saw
Flat blade screwdriver
Non-corrosive leak check solution
Caulking material (300ºF minimum continuous exposure
rating)
1/2 - 3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 self-drilling screws
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Electric Shock!
DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Call a qualied service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system
and/or gas control which has been under water.
D. Negative Pressure
WARNING! Asphyxiation Risk! Severe negative pressure caused by weather, home design or other devices
can impact appliance operation and cause spillage of
combustion fumes and soot. The appliance needs to
draft properly to operate safely.
This power vented appliance uses room air for combus-
tion. It is imperative that provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air be made.
Items to consider are:
• While this appliance can operate in environments of
-15 Pascals, it is recommended the room be at a neutral pressure.
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are
not located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance.
• Avoid installing the appliance in locations where fans,
windows or drafts can impact appliance performance.
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important
to consider the required clearances to walls. See Figure
3.3 below and Figure 3.4 on next page.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate
clearance around air openings and for service access.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be lo-
cated out of trafc and away from furniture and draperies.

Sugges ons on how to further reduce TV temperatures:
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling restops and wall shield
restops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes
for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,
you MUST check local building codes to determine the
requirements to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-
lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air inltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air inltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped (or an equivalent method may be
used) to achieve maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling re-
stops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of
300ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas
line holes and other openings should be caulked with
caulk with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating
or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being
installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be
placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the
room.
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly
on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other
than wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent
accidental contact.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with replace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a re.
