!Prior to the first firing of the fireplace, READ the Using Your Fireplace section of the Owners Guide.

DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been

!under water. Immediately CALL a qualified service technician to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

!THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.

Installation and repair should be PERFORMED by a

!qualified service person. The appliance and venting system should be INSPECTED before initial use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is IMPERATIVE that the unit’s control compartment, burners, and circulating air passageways BE KEPT CLEAN to provide for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

Always KEEP the appliance clear and free from

!combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

!NEVER OBSTRUCT the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance CLEAR of all obstacles and materials for servicing and proper operations.

Due to the high temperature, the appliance should

!be LOCATED out of traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies. Clothing or flammable material SHOULD NOT BE PLACED on or near the appliance.

!Children and adults should be ALERTED to the hazards of high surface temperature and should STAY AWAY to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be CAREFULLY SUPERVISED when they are in the same room as the appliance.

These units MUST use one of the vent systems

!described in the Installing the Fireplace section of the Installers Guide. NO OTHER vent systems or components MAY BE USED.

This gas fireplace and vent assembly MUST be

!vented directly to the outside and MUST NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance MUST USE a separate vent system. Common vent systems are

PROHIBITED.

INSPECT the external vent cap on a regular basis to

!make sure that no debris is interfering with the air flow.

!The glass door assembly MUST be in place and sealed, and the trim door assembly MUST be in place on the fireplace before the unit can be placed into safe operation.

DO NOT OPERATE this appliance with the glass

!door removed, cracked, or broken. Replacement of the glass door should be performed by a licensed or qualified service person. DO NOT strike or slam the glass door.

1Approvals and Codes

Appliance Certification

The Heat & Glo fireplace model discussed in this Installers Guide has been tested to certification standards and listed by the applicable laboratories.

Certification

MODEL: GEM36

LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories

TYPE: Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Heater

STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88-2000•CSA2.33-M98•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 CSAC22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).

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

2Getting Started

Introducing the Heat & Glo Gas Fireplaces

Heat & Glo 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.

The Heat & Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat & Glo 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 Heat & Glo.

Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.

Installation and/or use of any component part not manufactured and approved by Heat & Glo, 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.

Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall switch, or remote control—are 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.
