If the fireplace is being installed on a cement slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or other raised platform can

be placed underneath to prevent conduction of cold transferring to the fireplace and into the room. It also helps to
seal inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.

CAUTION

CAUTION

LOCATION

In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the fireplace are primary concerns. However, vent
system routing to the exterior and access to the fuel supply are also important.

Due to high temperatures, the fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

En raison des températures élevées, l’appareil devrait être installé dans un endroit où il y a peu de
circulation et loin du mobilier et des tentures.

The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air conditioning ducting.
These direct-vent fireplaces are uniquely suited for installations requiring a utility shelf positioned directly above the

fireplace. Utility shelves like these are commonly used for locating television sets and decorative plants.

Be aware that this is a heat producing fireplace. Objects placed above the unit are exposed to elevated temperatures.
Do not insulate the space between the fireplace and the area above it.

The minimum height from the base of the fireplace to the underside of combustible materials used to construct a
utility shelf in this fashion is shown in Table 9 and Table 10.

Installation

900004-00, 04/2015

The fireplace must be mounted on a fully supported base extending the full width and depth of the unit. The fireplace
may be located on or near conventional construction materials. However, if installed on combustible materials, such
as carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.

Hearth Extension

A hearth extension is not required with this fireplace. If a hearth extension is used, do not block the lower control
compartment door. Any hearth extension used is for appearance only and does not have to conform to standard
hearth extension installation requirements.

Shelf Height

To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface, use the rear vent model. For top vent models, the venting attached
to the top vent should be routed in a way to minimize obstructions to the space above the fireplace. Do not insulate
the space between the fireplace and the area above it (Table 9 and Table 10). The minimum height from the base
of the fireplace to the underside of combustible materials used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shown in

Table 9 and Table 10.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

NOTE: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area defined
by the fireplace front face (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned in front of or
overlapping the fireplace face (Figure 41).

Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other fireplace trim, may be installed on the fireplace face, but they
must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel or control compartment.

Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel (Figure 7). Mantels
constructed of non-combustible materials may be installed at any height above the fireplace opening. However, do
not allow anything to hang below the fireplace hood.

Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above
the fireplace.

NOTE: To avoid heat-related finish damage, use finish materials rated 175 °F, or higher, on the underside of the mantel.

The fireplace is shipped with all gas controls and components installed and pre-wired. Before installing the fireplace,
follow these steps:

1. Remove the shipping carton, and retain the front of the carton (used to protect the fireplace during construction).

2. Remove the shipping pad, exposing the front glass door.

3. Remove the glass door (Page 57).
NOTE: Place the glass door on the shipping carton to protect its surface.

NOTE:

• All fireplaces are factory-equipped with a flexible gas line connector and 1/2” shutoff valve (Figure 35).

• See Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements for additional requirements for installations in the state of
Massachusetts in the USA.

• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane-resistant
compounds are used in propane applications. Be very careful that the pipe compound does not get inside
the pipe.

• A sediment trap in the supply line as close as possible to the fireplace is recommended.

• Check with the local building official for local code requirements (e.g., Are below grade penetrations of the gas
line allowed?, etc).

CAUTION

If propane is used, be aware that with a tank that is too small (i.e., under 100 lbs, if this
is the only gas appliance in the dwelling—see NPFA 58), there may be a loss of pressure.
This can result in insufficient fuel delivery that can cause sooting, delayed ignition, or other
malfunctions. Any damage resulting from an improper installation is not covered by the
limited warranty.

VENT SYSTEM PREPARATION

7. Select a Horizontal or Vertical Vent System

1. With the fireplace secured in the framing, determine the vent route and identify the exterior termination location.

The following sections describe vertical (roof) and horizontal (exterior wall) vent applications. Use only approved
vent components (Page 8 and Page 44).

NOTE: This fireplace must be vented directly to the outside.

The vent system may not service multiple appliances, and must never be connected to a
flue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.

NOTE: The vent pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall (such as a chase). There is no requirement for

inspection openings in the enclosing wall at any of the joints in the vent pipe.

Connecting the vent pipe

Secure Vent® SV4.5 direct-vent system components are unitized concentric pipe components featuring positive twist
lock connections (Figure 16 and Figure 17). All of the fireplaces covered in this document are fitted with collars
having locking inclined channels. The dimpled end of the vent components fit over the fireplace/vent collar to create
the positive twist lock connection.

1. Align the dimpled end over the collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four (4) locking dimples are aligned

with the inlet of the four (4) inclined channels on the collar (Figure 16).

2. Push the vent component against the collar until it fully engages, then twist the component clockwise, running

the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

Installation

900004-00, 04/2015

Vent elbows

NOTE: The unitized design of the Secure Vent® components will engage and seal both the inner and outer vent pipe.

3. If desired, a #6 x 1/2” screw can be used at the joint, but is not required as the pipe will securely lock

when twisted (Figure 17).

Where required, a telescopic vent section (SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the installer with an option to install
in tight and confined spaces, or where the vent run made up of fixed length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable
location, or will not build up to the required length. The SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section has an effective length of
from 1 1/2–7” (38–191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with a locking inclined channel end (identical to a normal vent
section component) and a plain end with three (3) pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the locking channel end of a
standard SV4.5 vent component the required distance and secure with three (3) screws.

9. Install the Vent System

Install the Vertical Termination Vent System

These instructions should be used as a guideline and do not supersede local codes in any way. Install venting
according to local codes, these instructions, the current National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the
current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 in Canada.

Ensure clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier.

Dégagement conforme aux codes d’installa tion locaux et aux exigences du foumisseunde gaz.

Vertical vent systems terminate through the roof. The minimum vent height above the roof and/or adjacent walls
is specified in ANSI Z223.1 (In Canada, the current CAN/CGA-B149.1 installation code) by major building codes.
Always consult your local codes for specific requirements. A general guide to follow is the gas vent rule (Table 6).

The following figures and their associated vertical vent tables illustrate the various configurations that are possible
for use with these fireplaces. Secure Vent® pipe is shown in these figures; Secure Flex® pipe may also be used.
A table summarizes each configuration’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length parameters for a
variety of applications.

1. Refer to Figure 25 and Table 17–Table 20 on Page 27–28 to select the type of vertical installation desired.
Elbows are available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer to Figure 18 on Page 22 for the SV4.5E45 and
SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional specifications.

3. Install the rear vent gasket—The rear vent gasket is factory installed and required for all rear vent applications.
If the gasket is missing, position a replacement gasket (contact your local dealer) around the vent collar before
attaching other vent components to the fireplace (Figure 21). Loosely attach the gasket with two screws at the
top and bottom.

4. Attach the vent components to the fireplace—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 22.

5. Attach the vent components to each other—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 22.

6. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling—When using Secure Vent®, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer at ceiling joists; when

using Secure Flex®, use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. If there is living space above the ceiling level, the firestop/
spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the firestop/spacer
must be installed on the top side of the joist. Route the vent sections through the framed opening and secure the
firestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.

Remember to maintain 1” (25 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation
when running vertical chimney sections. The gap between the vent pipe and a vertical firestop can be sealed with
non-combustible caulking.

NOTE: Attic insulation shield (H3907) must be installed when blown or loose-fill insulation is used, and is
recommended for all attic installations.

7. Support the vertical vent run sections—Support the vertical portion of the venting system every 8 ft (2.4 m)
above the fireplace vent outlet. One method of support is by utilizing field provided support straps (conventional
plumber’s tape). Secure the plumber’s tape to the framing members with nails or screws. Loop the tape around
the vent, securing the ends of the tape to the framing. If desired, sheet metal screws #6 x 1/2” length may be
used to secure the support straps to the vent pipe (Figure 22).

NOTE: Proper venting support is very important.

8. Change vent direction of horizontal/inclined run—Install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbows in the same
manner as the straight vent sections. See Vent elbows on Page 22 for more information.

9. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined sections—Continue with the installation of the straight vent
sections in horizontal/inclined run. Install support straps every 5 ft (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent runs
using conventional plumber’s tape.

Rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to level. For best results, maintain the horizontal/inclined run in
a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane of approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m).

Maintain the required clearances to combustibles (Page 24).

10. Frame the roof opening—Identify the location for the vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening (Table 16).

Table 16: Roof Framing Dimensions

11. Install the roof flashing—Extend the vent sections through the roof structure. Install the roof flashing over the
vent section and position such that the vent column rises vertically (use carpenters level). Nail along perimeter
to secure flashing or adjust roofing to overlap the flashing edges at top and sides only and trim where necessary.
Seal the top and both sides of the flashing with waterproof caulking.

12. Install the storm collar—Install the storm collar, supplied with the flashing, over the vent/flashing joint
(Figure 23). Loosen the storm collar screw. Slide collar down until it meets the top of the flashing. Tighten the
adjusting screw. Apply non-combustible caulking or mastic around the circumference of the joint to provide a

13. Install the vertical termination—The final step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1 vertical termination.
Extend the vent sections to the correct height (Figure 4). The SV4.5CGV-1 Vertical Termination (Figure 24)
installs in the exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent® section. Align the termination over the end of the
previously installed section, adjusting the radial alignment until the four (4) locking dimples of the termination
are aligned with the inlets of the four (4) incline channels of the last vent section. Push the termination down
until it fully engages, then twist the termination clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline
channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

If the vent system extends more than 5 ft (1.5 m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be necessary.
Additional screws may be used at section joints for added stability. Guide wires or roof support assemblies may
be attached to the joint for additional support on multiple joint configurations.

Vertical Vent Figures/Tables

NOTE: Secure Vent® rigid vent pipe is shown in the figures; Secure Flex® flexible vent pipe may also be used.
NOTE: Rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to level. For best results, maintain the horizontal/inclined

run in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane of approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m).
NOTE: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must be used anytime vent pipe passes

through a combustible floor or ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)firestop/spacer must be used
anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.

NOTE: Two (2) 45° elbows may be used in place of one (1) 90° elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as shown in the
venting figures for 90° elbows, must be followed if 45° elbows are used.

NOTE: An elbow is acceptable as 1 ft of vertical rise, except where an elbow is the only vertical component in
the system.

Do NOT join separate sections of concentric flexible vent pipe.

Install the Horizontal Termination Vent System

These instructions should be used as a guideline and do not supersede local codes in any way. Install venting
according to local codes, these instructions, the current National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the
current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 in Canada.

Ensure clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier.

Dégagement conforme aux codes d’installa tion locaux et aux exigences du foumisseunde gaz.

Horizontal vent systems terminate through an outside wall. Building Codes limit or prohibit terminating in
specific areas (Table 7).

The following figures and their associated horizontal vent tables illustrate the various configurations that are possible
for use with these fireplaces. Secure Vent
A table summarizes each configuration’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length parameters for a

1. Analyze the vent route and determine the number of vent sections and elbows required—See Effective Vent
Length on Page 22 for more information. Plan the venting so that a joint does not occur in the ceiling or roof
joists. Allow for elbows (Figure 18). Maintain the minimum clearances for combustibles (Page 24).

2. Frame the exterior wall opening—Locate the center of the vent outlet on the exterior wall (Table 11). Cut and/

or frame an opening, 10 1/2 x 12 1/8” (267 x 308 mm) inside dimensions, about this center.

3. Frame the ceiling opening—If the vertical route is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb line to locate the center
above the fireplace. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10 1/2 x 10 1/2” (267 x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about
this center (Figure 20).

4. Install the rear vent gasket—The rear vent gasket is factory installed and required for all rear vent applications.
If the gasket is missing, position a replacement gasket (contact your local dealer) around the vent collar before
attaching other vent components to the fireplace (Figure 21). Loosely attach the gasket with two screws at the
top and bottom.

5. Attach the vent components to the fireplace—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 22.

6. Attach the vent components to each other—See Connecting the vent pipe on Page 22.

7. Install the firestop/spacer at the ceiling—When using Secure Vent®, use SV4.5VF firestop/spacer at ceiling

joists; when using Secure Flex®, use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. If there is living space above the ceiling level,
the firestop/ spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the
firestop/spacer must be installed on the top side of the joist. Route the vent sections through the framed opening
and secure the firestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.

Maintain 1” (25 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation when running
vertical chimney sections.

8. Support the vertical run sections—On the vertical run, support the venting system every 8 ft (2.4 m) above the
fireplace vent outlet with field provided support straps (Plumber’s tape). Attach the straps to the vent pipe and
secure to the framing members with nails or screws (Figure 26).

29

Innovative Hearth Products
Superior™ DRT2000 and DRC2000 Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces

9. Change vent direction—At transition from or to a horizontal/inclined run, install SV4.5E45 or SV4.5E90 elbows
in the same manner as the straight vent sections. The elbows feature a twist section to allow them to be routed
about the center axis of their initial collar section to align with the required direction of the next vent run element.
Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direction only so as to avoid the possiblity of unlocking any of the previously
connected vent sections (Figure 18).

10. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined sections—Continue with the installation of the straight vent
sections in horizontal/inclined run. Install support straps every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent
runs using conventional plumber’s tape (Figure 26). Maintain the horizontal/inclined run in a straight (no dips),
slightly elevated plane. The recommended incline is approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m) horizontal, in
a direction away from the fireplace. Smaller rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to at or near level.
Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a constant surface and adjust the support straps as necessary.

Maintain the required clearances to combustibles (Page 24).

11. Assemble the vent run to the exterior wall—If not previously measured, locate the center of the vent at the
exterior wall. Prepare the opening. Assemble the vent system until the terminus of the last section is within
7” (178 mm) to 11 1/4” (286 mm) inboard of the exterior surface to which the SV4.5 HT termination is to be
attached (Figure 27). If the terminus of the last section is not within this distance, use the telescopic vent section
SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. Table 21 lists the additional venting components needed (in addition to the
termination and adaptor) for a range of wall thicknesses.

12. Attach the termination adaptor—Attach the adaptor (SV4.5RCH, provided with the termination) to the vent
section or telescoping vent section, elbow or fireplace collar (Figure 27).

13. Install the firestop/spacer at the exterior wall—When using the square termination, install SV4.5HF (Secure
Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex) Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exterior side of the framing, long side up,
with the 4” spacer clearance at the top (Figure 27) and nail into place.

Installation

900004-00, 04/2015

NOTE: The firestop/spacer may also be installed over the opening at the interior side of the framing.

14. Install the termination (SV4.5HT-2, SV4.5HTSS, or SV4.5HTKCT)—From outside the exterior wall, slide

the collars of the termination onto the adaptor (the outer over the outer and the inner inside the inner) until
the termination seats against the exterior wall surface to which it will be attached. Orient the housing of
the termination with the arrow pointed upwards. Secure the termination to the exterior wall. The horizontal
termination must not be recessed into the exterior wall or siding by more than the 1 1/4” (32 mm) (Figure 28).

NOTE: Termination SV45HTKCT (and other compact terminations) should not be used with a straight,
horizontally vented rear termination in the 45” units. A minimum 12” rise is required when venting the 45” units.

NOTE: If the venting exits the building below grade, or close to grade, see Installation Accessories on
Page 44 for available snorkel terminations. The termination must be above grade and above the expected
level of snow accumulation.

NOTE: The vent termination is hot while in operation and for a period of time following the use of the fireplace.

To prevent contact with hot surfaces, use a horizontal termination guard; available for purchase at your
local dealer.

The horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather conditions. Our
terminations meet or exceed industry standards.

When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termination where water from
eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow of cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap
must be placed where the possibility of cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the
water away from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.

Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including the use of silicone caulking
where required.

Vertical or Horizontal Venting Using Secure Flex Kits and Components

When Secure Flex® kits are used in a rear flue, horizontal termination installation, at least 1 ft of vertical rise is required.

Secure Flex venting kits and components may be used in any other vent installation where rigid Secure Vent® (SV4.5)
direct-vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances pertaining to rigid vent also apply to
flexible vent. Do NOT modify Secure Flex kits . Also, do NOT join separate sections of flex vent together. Secure Flex
kits can be installed on the end of a Secure Vent (SV4.5) rigid vent run, provided that doing so does not violate any
of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements, or clearance considerations detailed in
this manual.

Secure Flex kits come with an included adaptor that can be installed on the fireplace collar or the inclined channel
end of the last Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent section in a rigid system in the exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent
section. Align the dimpled end of the adaptor over the previously installed section or fireplace collar, adjusting the
radial alignment until the four locking dimples of the adaptor are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of
the last vent section or collar. Push on the adaptor until it is fully engaged, then twist the adaptor clockwise running
the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

Test Factory and Field Connections for Gas Leaks

Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a gas leak test solution—also known as bubble leak solution.
NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an effective leak test solution but it is not recommended, because the soap

residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion over time.

1. Light the fireplace (refer to the lighting instructions label in the control compartment or Page 66).

2. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or

gas odor is detected, turn the gas control knob (OFF/PILOT/ON) to the OFF position (millivolt units), or turn the
receiver or remote control to the OFF position (electronic units). Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection,
and then retest as described above.

3. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, rinse off the leak testing solution

13. Verify Proper Fireplace Operation

1. With the gas line installed, inspect the system before closing the front of the unit.

2. Follow the pilot lighting instructions:

• Millvolt Systems (Page 66)

• Electronic Systems (Page 67)
NOTE: When lighting the fireplace for the first time, it will take a few minutes for the gas line to purge itself of air.

When purged, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated. Subsequent lighting of the fireplace will not
require purging. Inspect the pilot flame (carefully remove logs, if necessary).

WARNING

Millivolt Fireplace Inspection

The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or floating. Flame should be blue in color with traces of orange at the
outer edge. The top 3/8” (10 mm) at the pilot generator (thermopile) and the top 1/8” (3.175 mm) minimum (tip) of
the quick drop out thermocouple should be engulfed in the pilot flame. The flame should project 1” (25 mm) beyond
the hood at all three ports (Figure 36). Replace the logs if removed for pilot inspection.

To light the burner, turn ON the remote wall switch and rotate the gas valve control knob counterclockwise to the ON
position (the top of the valve).

18. Adjust the Air Shutter to Ensure Proper Flame Appearance

• Air shutter adjustment should only be performed by a qualified professional service technician.

• Ensure glass door is in place and sealed during adjustment.

• Soot will be produced if the air shutter is closed too much. Any damage due to sooting,
resulting from improperly setting the air shutter, is not covered under the warranty.

• The air shutter rod and nearby appliance surfaces are hot. Exercise caution to avoid injury
while adjusting flame appearance.

Flame Appearance and Sooting

The flame should be blue at the base, and yellow-orange in the body of the flame.
When the fireplace is first lit, the entire flame may be blue and will gradually turn yellow-orange during the first 15

minutes of operation. If the flame remains blue, or if the flame is orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the air
shutter opening may need to be adjusted.

If the air shutter opening is closed too far, sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing at the
tips of very long orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits forming on the logs, fireplace inside surfaces, and
on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termination.

Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter

40

opening. To achieve a warm yellow-orange flame with an orange body that does not soot, the shutter opening must
be adjusted between these two extremes.

WARNING

CAUTION

Innovative Hearth Products
Superior™ DRT2000 and DRC2000 Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces

Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines

• If smoke or soot is present, first check the log set positioning to ensure that the flames are not impinging on any
of the logs. If the log set is properly positioned and a sooting condition persists, then the air shutter should be
opened more.

• The more offsets in the vent system, the wider the air shutter will need to be opened.

• An fireplace operated with the air shutter opened too far may have flames that appear blue and transparent.
These weak, blue, and transparent flames are termed anemic.

• Propane models may exhibit flames that candle or appear stringy. If this condition is present and persists, adjust
the air shutter to a more closed position, then operate the fireplace for a few more minutes to ensure that the
flame normalizes and the flames do not appear sooty.The following chart is provided to help achieve the correct
air shutter adjustment for your installation.

2. Light the fireplace. Follow the lighting procedure on the lighting label in the control compartment or Page 66.

3. Allow the burner to operate for at least fifteen (15) minutes while observing the flame continuously to ensure

that the proper flame appearance is achieved (Figure 39 and Figure 40). If the following conditions are present,
adjust accordingly.

• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a more open position until the proper

flame appearance is achieved.

• If flame remains blue, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a more closed position until the proper flame

appearance is achieved.

4. When satisfied that the burner flame appearance is normal, reinstall the lower control compartment door, then
proceed to finish the installation.

Burn-in Period

The first few times this fireplace is operated, there will be an odor from the curing of paint and the burning off of the
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Depending on usage, the burn-in period may take a few hours or a
few days.

NOTE: Ventilate the site during the burn-in period. The resulting odor and haze may set off a smoke detector. Do not
operate the blower during the burn-in period.

A white film may develop on the glass front during the first few fires as part of the burn-in period. The glass
should be kept clean during the burn-in period to prevent the film from baking on—making it very difficult to
remove (Cleaning the glass door on Page 59).

Accessing the Control Compartment

NOTE: If the door is difficult to open/close, remove it as instructed and straighten the door tabs (Figure 46).

1. Access the control compartment (Figure 34) by holding the control compartment door by the top and gently

lifting it up, then rotating it away from the fireplace.

Closing the Control Compartment

1. Swing the door gently up and then lift and set the door so it catches in the upright, closed position.

Removing the Control Compartment Door

1. Remove the bottom, left screw (Figure 45) inside the control compartment securing the control compartment

door. Retain the screw for later reinstallation.

2. Position the left side door tab (Figure 46) out of the tab groove and align it with the vertical slot (Figure 45).

3. Lift the left side of the control compartment door with the tabs in the vertical slot until the tabs clear the slot,

disengaging the left side of the door from the fireplace.

4. Pull the door to the left to disengage the right side door tabs, and remove the door. Store the control

compartment door in a secure location until reinstallation.

The standard controls for fireplace operation are located in the control compartment, below the glass door
(Figure 34). Optional control switches are also available.

Millivolt and electronic gas control systems operate differently. Before lighting and operating the fireplace determine
if it is a millivolt or electronic system:

• Millivolt Fireplaces (Figure 1)

• Electronic Fireplaces (Figure 2)

52

Familiarize yourself with the gas control valve and the lighting procedure (Page 66).

Millivolt Fireplaces

Detailed lighting instructions are found on Page 66. Also, millivolt fireplace lighting instructions are found on the
pull-out lighting instructions attached to the gas control valve.

When the pilot is lit, the main burner can be turned ON/OFF using a wall switch, remote control, optional on-unit
rocker switch (FRS), or wall thermostat.

Innovative Hearth Products
Superior™ DRT2000 and DRC2000 Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces

If the millivolt fireplace is equipped with an optional remote switch (wall switch, remote control, rocker switch, or
wall thermostat) and the pilot is lit, the fireplace main burner can be turned ON/OFF using the optional switch.

NOTE: Do NOT wire more than one valve to the burner control switch. This will help prevent excessive resistance in
the burner circuit, that can cause burner operation problems.

Electronic Fireplaces

Detailed lighting instructions are found on Page 67. Also, electronic fireplace lighting instructions are found on the
pull-out lighting instructions attached to the gas control valve.

If the electronic fireplace is equipped with an optional remote wall switch or remote control, the fireplace main
burner can be turned ON/OFF with the wall switch or remote control.

If the electronic fireplace is not equipped with a wall switch or remote control, the main burner must be turned ON/
OFF with a gas control switch installed separately. Contact the installer for more information. Check the batteries, if
installed, at least every three (3) months to ensure they are properly charged.

To light the fireplace in a power outage:

1. Confirm that batteries are installed in the battery pack.

2. Set the unit-mounted switch, or wall switch to the ON Position.

3. The unit should spark at the pilot and light.
NOTE: If there is no spark, replace the batteries.

4. Operate the fireplace normally.

Operation

900004-00, 04/2015

Installing the Backup Batteries

With a battery backup, electronic fireplaces can automatically switch to battery power. In the event of a power outage, this
allows ON/OFF operation (without blower functionality). Install new batteries before every burn season.

1. Open the control compartment (Page 52), and locate the battery holder.

2. Install four (4) AA batteries in the battery holder.

3. Close the control compartment door.

Continuous Pilot Ignition Switch

Fireplaces with an electronic gas valve have a continuous pilot ignition (CPI) switch installed in the
control compartment.

This switch allows the pilot to be switched from intermittent mode to continuous mode:

• Intermittent Mode—The pilot is extinguished when the fireplace is OFF.

• Continuous Mode—The pilot stays ON when the fireplace is OFF.
In periods of extreme cold, condensation may form on the glass door when the fireplace is OFF and the pilot is in

intermittent mode. Also, with the pilot in intermittent mode, the fireplace may cycle startup (i.e., the pilot and burner ignite,
but the burner extinguishes and reignites several times until the flue reaches the temperature for proper drafting).

• To save energy—switch to intermittent mode.

• For a standing pilot that will help prevent glass door condensation and cycle startup—switch to continuous mode.

NOTE: Continuous mode is indicated by a pilot that comes ON and remains lit when the fireplace is OFF.

Traditional Only: Installing the Firebox Liners

1. Remove the three (3) firebox liner panels from the packing materials.

2. Carefully position the rear panel, upper edge first, in the firebox against the rear wall.

3. While holding the rear panel, carefully position the left side panel in the firebox.

4. Carefully position the right side panel in the firebox.
NOTE: Do not force the panels. Excessive force may cause breakage. If the panels are correctly positioned, they

will fit snugly in place.

Contemporary Only: Installing the Glass Media

1. Install the glass media in the recessed area between the front and rear floors.
NOTE: 35” fireplaces require less than a full bag of glass media. 40” fireplaces require an entire bag of media.

2. Spread the glass media in a thin layer, evenly over the burner and pilot.
NOTE: Do NOT mound the media.

termination prior to use. Also be aware of shrubs and plantings that may encroach on the termination.

Operation

900004-00, 04/2015

WARNING

CAUTION

Inspecting the venting system

The fireplace and venting system should be thoroughly inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified
service technician. Inspection should include ensuring that exhaust or intake passages are unobstructed and vent
components are properly assembled and not damaged.

The homeowner must contact a qualified service technician at once if any abnormal condition is observed.

If the venting system is disassembled for any reason, a qualified service technician should follow vent installation
instructions for proper reassembly and proper sealing of the venting system components. However, more frequent
periodic inspections and cleanings should be performed by the homeowner.

NOTE: Prior to the first use of the fireplace and each burn season and periodically during the burn season,
inspect the horizontal termination for debris such as bird nests, leaves, paper or branches. Remove any items
from the surfaces of the termination prior to use. Also be aware of shrubs and plantings that may encroach on
the termination.

Inspecting the burner flame appearance

Periodically inspect the burner and pilot flame. Ensure that the burner flame appearance resembles the flame shown
in Figure 39 and Figure 40 on Page 41 and as described in Flame Appearance and Sooting on Page 40.
Any necessary burner flame adjustments must be performed by qualified personnel only (Page 40). Refer to
Page 39 for more information about the pilot flame appearance. Contact a qualified service technician at once if
any abnormal condition is observed.

Cleaning the glass door

Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Never clean the glass when it is hot.

CAUTION

Clean the glass during the Burn-in Period, and then only when necessary and when the fireplace is cool. Wipe the
surface with a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry, soft towel as desired. Take care not to scratch the glass
surface. Periodically, remove any build-up caused by the following:

• During start-up, it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass (this condensation and fog will
usually disappear in a few minutes). The moisture can cause lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the
glass surface.

• Initial curing of the high temperature paint and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process may
result in a film on the glass.

• A white coating may form on the glass as a result of impurities and minerals in the fuel.

Clean the glass two or three times each heating season, depending on the circumstances present. The following
cleaning solutions are approved for use:

• Non-ammonia based glass cleaner

• 50/50 mixture of white vinegar / water

• Gas fireplace/stove glass cleaner

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before troubleshooting, ensure that the fireplace main line gas shutoff valve and the wall switch are in the ON position. The following
troubleshoots the fireplace only to an elementary level. For detailed remote and ignition system troubleshooting, refer to the
instructions provided with the remote.

Detailed valve system troubleshooting should only be performed by a qualified service technician.

Table 52: Troubleshooting Millivolt Systems

1. Spark igniter will

not light pilot after
repeated triggering of
igniter button.

WARNING: if the
pilot will not light
after 1 minute of
attempting, wait for
at least 5 minutes for
gas to clear before
attempting again.

2. Pilot will not stay

lit after carefully
following the lighting
instructions.

3. Pilot burning, no

gas to burner, Valve
knob “ON,” and the
(standard) burner
OFF/ON switch is ON.

NOTE: If an optional*
remote switch is used
for burner operation,
if the standard burner
OFF/ON switch is still
installed on fireplace
it must be in the OFF
position.

4. Frequent pilot/burner

outage problem.

* Optional remote switch kits—wall switch, wall thermostat or remote control.

a. Defective igniter (no spark at electrode). Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and

electrode wire is properly connected, replace igniter.

b. Defective or misaligned electrode at pilot

(spark at electrode).

Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot
and trigger the igniter button again. If pilot lights, an
improper gas mixture caused the bad lighting and
a longer purge period is recommended. If pilot will
not light – check gap at electrode and pilot – should
be 1/8” to have a strong spark. If gap measures 1/8”,
replace pilot.

c. Gas supply pressure errant. Check inlet gas pressure. It should be within the limits

as marked on the rating plate.

d. Pilot orifice plugged. Clean or replace pilot orifice.
a. Defective pilot generator (thermocouple). Check pilot flame, it must impinge on thermocouple.

Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple. Ensure that the
connection between the valve and thermocouple are
tight and secure.

a. Wall switch or wires defective. Check wall switch and wires for proper connections.

Jumper wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner
comes on, replace defective wall switch. If okay,
jumper wires across wall switch wires at valve, if
burner comes on, wires are faulty or connections
are bad.

b. Thermopile may not be generating

sufficient millivolts.

Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading
at thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read
325 millivolts minimum with optional wall switch
OFF. Replace faulty thermopile if reading is below
specified minimum.

c. Plugged burner orifice. Check burner orifice for blockage and remove.
d. OFF/ON Switch and *Remote Switch are

in the “ON” position resulting in excessive
resistance.

When turning on the burner using a *remote switch,
ensure that the standard OFF/ON switch is in the OFF
position. If both switches are in the ON position,
it may result in excessive resistance (and millivolt
drainage) and the burner may not come on.

a. Pilot flame may be too low or blowing

(high) causing the pilot/valve safety to

Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple

drop out.

Table 53: Troubleshooting Electronic Systems

1. Nothing happens

when the fireplace is
turned ON/OFF.

a. Remote is not functioning properly. Check that the wall switch plate is set to REMOTE.

Operate the fireplace from the wall plate switch.
Replace remote and/or wall switch batteries.

b. Gas is not reaching the fireplace. Check the gas supply and gas shutoff valves. *
c. Unit is not receiving power. Check/replace backup batteries behind the wall plate.

Replace unit battery backup.
Check building circuit breakers to ensure power is ON

to the fireplace.

2. The main burner

does not light and the
igniter is sparking.

a. Gas is not reaching the fireplace. Check the gas supply and gas shutoff valves.
b. Loose wires to the valve. Check control compartment for any obviously loose

wiring (call a service technician, if necessary).

c. Loose wires to ignition module. Check control compartment for any obviously loose

wiring (call a service technician, if necessary).

d. Air in the gas line. Purge gas line of air (call a service technician if

required).

e. Unit is not receiving power. Replace unit battery backup.

3. The main Burner

comes on but then
goes out.

a. Gas is not reaching the fireplace. Check the gas supply and gas shutoff valves.
b. Loose wires to the valve or ignition

module.

Check control compartment for any obviously loose
wiring (call a service technician, if necessary).

c. Pilot flame is not engulfing the sensor. Call a service technician.
d. Obstructed vent system. Call a service technician.

4. Soot is present on the

logs and glass.

a. Excessive flame impingement on the logs. Properly position the logs as detailed on Page 54.
b. Initial fireplace operation. A white film may develop on the glass during the first

few fires as part of the burn-in process.
The first few times you use the fireplace, clean

the glass after each use (AFTER THE GLASS HAS
COMPLETELY COOLED); otherwise, the white film will
bake onto the glass and become difficult to remove.

See glass cleaning instructions in the MAINTENANCE
section of this manual.

c. Improper vent restrictor setting. Open the air shutter by adjusting the air shutter

adjustment lever according to the instructions in
this manual.

d. Improper air shutter opening. Open the air shutter by pushing in the rod.

5. Poor flame and/or

blue flame.

*The unit may have multiple gas supply shutoffs (the main gas supply valve in the house, the gas supply valve in the fireplace control compartment, and/or an
additional shutoff valve near the fireplace).

a. Door seal is not properly aligned, causing

gaps and air leaks.

Remove and realign the door so the gasket seal is
fully engaged around the door frame.
