Getting 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 are shipped in separate packages. The gas logs are 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.
The top, back, and sides of the fireplace are defined by
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall
extending past the face of the fireplace is one inch (25 mm).
The metal ends of the fireplace may NOT be recessed into
combustible construction.

Framing should be
constructed of 2 X 4
lumber or heavier.
These models are approved to use DVP series direct vent
pipe components and terminations (see Figures 6 and 7).
Approved vent system components are labeled for identification. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved component of the fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside
an enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection
openings at each joint within the wall. There is no required
pitch for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYS-TEMS OR COMPONENTS MA Y BE USED.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent
termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this
Installers Guide.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the
type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.
Identifying Vent Component s
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may include one, two, or three 90°
elbow assemblies. The relationships of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configurations using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The
rise to run relationships are shown in the venting drawings
and tables. Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one
90° elbow. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must
be followed if 45° elbows are used.
This model has a 45
0
elbow built into it. It may be positioned to vent either horizontal or vertical. Depending on the
installation, decide which direction the elbow should be facing. Remove the 8 screws from the corner cover plate. Position the 450 elbow as desired and replace the corner cover plate with the 8 screws.

may be installed in hazardous locations such as bathtub
enclosures as defined by the CPSC. The tempered glass
has been tested and certified to the requirements of ANSI
Z97.1-1984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing Certification Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Architectural T esting, Inc. Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01.)
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Section 1201.5 “Certification and labeling requirements” which
refers to 15 USC 2063 stating “…Such certificate shall accompany the product or shall otherwise be furnished to any
distributor or retailer to whom the product is delivered.”
Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass
with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting
this requirement is available from the factory . Please contact your dealer or distributor to order.
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. The bag
labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard glowing ember material.
Optional Ember Light Kit (Emberkit-MS)
Ember Light Bulb Replacement
In the lower gas valve compartment you will find three access panels for the three light bulbs (see Figure 43).
T o place the ember material:
• Remove the wing nuts and glass clips or tension springs
around the glass door.
• Remove the glass door from the unit.
• Remove the grate and log set by removing the screws.
• Place dime size pieces of ember material about 1/2 inch
apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press embers into burner ports. Cover the top of the burner with a
single layer of ember material.
• Save the remaining ember materials for use during fireplace servicing. The bag of embers provided is sufficient
for 3 to 5 applications.
• Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit.
ACCESS PANEL

Using a 5/16” nut driver remove the two bolts (see
Figure 44 ).
ACCESS PANEL
Figure 42. Placement of the Ember Material
Figure 44.
Pull the access panel to expose the light bulb. Wearing
clean cotton gloves replace the bulb. Any skin oils which
get on a new bulb will greatly shorten the life of the bulb.
The bulb can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol (see Figure 45).
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
• Remove the rubber bands from the log set (see Figure
46).
RUBBER
BANDS
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally .
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unlessthe gasvalve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the
initial start-up. T urn it off and let it cool completely . Remove
and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
FOAM
PADS

• Remove the two foam pads which support the log set
and grate and allow the log set and grate to rest on the
base pan.
• Install the Lava Rock (supplied) to the firebox base pan
being careful not to cover the burner with the Lava Rock.
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
•Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent terminations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE replaced with an approved component. T ampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
