Introducing the
Heat-N-Glo
Direct Vent
Gas Stoves

Pre-installation
Preparation

Heat-N-Glo direct vent gas stoves 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
unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas
control systems.

Gas stove diagrams, including the dimensions, are
shown in this section.

This gas stove and its components are tested and
safe when installed in accordance with this

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 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.

When planning a stove 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 stove is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on any combustible material
other than wood flooring, the stove should be installed on a metal or wood panel
that extends the full width and depth of the stove.
