CAUTION—HOT! HOT! HOT!
This appliance is a HEATING appliance and it becomes very hot when in operation.
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DO NOT PLACE any object, furniture, draperies or other
item LESS THAN 36” (0.9 m) IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.
CHILDREN and PETS
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the hearth in front of the replace to temperatures
that, although approved safe, can be quite uncomfortable to touch or step on—particularly
for children and pets. Children and pets should always be supervised when in the room
where the appliance is located. Remote control handset should be kept out of reach of
children. In the presence of children, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you install in front
of the replace: a re screen, doors or, to protect young toddlers, a “hearth gate”—see
Options on page 40.
HOT SURFACES
Be aware that, although safe, some combustible materials and nishes, even though
installed at listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1200DV
requires the installation of the cement board provided with the engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the wall surface if not impeded. Protruding
mantels and projections can help direct the heat away from the wall. AVOID PLACING heat
sensitive items such as televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above replaces or near the
edge of protrusions unless appropriate.
The information contained in this installation manual is believed to be correct at the time of printing.
Miles Industries Ltd. reserves the right to change or modify any information or specications without
notice. Miles Industries Ltd. grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or maintenance
of your heater, and assumes no responsibility for any consequential damage(s).
We recommend that our gas
hearth products be installed and
serviced by professionals who
are certied in the United States
by NFI (National Fireplace
Institute®).

in this installation manual. NO OTHER vent system or
component MAY BE USED.
This gas replace 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 ow.
The glass door assembly MUST be in place and sealed
before the unit can be placed into safe operation.

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.
HOT SURFACES. Be aware that, although safe, some combustible materials and nishes, even though installed at
listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1200DV requires the installation of the cement
board provided with the engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the wall surface if not impeded. Protruding mantels and projections
can help direct the heat away from the wall. AVOID PLACING heat sensitive items such as televisions, paintings,
decorations, etc. above replaces or near the edge of protrusions unless appropriate.
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the hearth in front of the replace to temperatures that, although approved
safe, can be quite uncomfortable to touch or step on—particularly for children and pets. Accessory screens and
guards will reduce the radiant heat on these surfaces.

Hearth Requirements
General Hearth Considerations
SAFETY WARNING! The Ventana is a very effective radiant heater. The hearth/oor in front of
the heater can get very hot (in excess of 200ºF). Locating the unit raised above the hearth/oor
or adding one of the optional screen fronts or a generic freestanding screen in front of the unit
can greatly reduce hearth temperatures. Any hearth within 4” of the base of the heater must
be constructed of non-combustible materials (see diagrams in the following pages). Note that
some materials, although safe can degrade due to heat—take this into consideration when
choosing materials.
When the appliance
is installed directly on
carpeting, tile or other
combustible material
other than wood ooring,
the appliance shall be
installed on a metal or
wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the
appliance
Top of Finished Hearth
Must Be Flush With
Bottom of Heater to
accommodate some
optional mantels and
trims. See Option section
towards the end of this
manual for optional
accessories.
NOTE:
Unit will need to be raised
•
in almost every case to
accommodate hearth or
combustible ooring.
Non-combustible hearth
•
required if bottom of
replace is less than 4” from
combustible oor in front.

Hearth Requirements
Rules
Any hearth/oor in front of replace within 4” of bottom of unit must be non-combustible and project a minimum
1.
distance as shown on page 14. The hearth/oor must have a non-combustible nish applied over the 1/2”
insulation board provided with the engine. This insulation board acts as a thermal break.
Minimum hearth projection is determined by a combination of the height of the hearth above the surface of
2.
combustible oor or carpet and distance between hearth and bottom of replace.
Combustible baseboards (1” thick or less) located on wall are acceptable provided they are located below the
3.
base of the raised replace.
