possible fi re hazard and will void the warranty.
Prior to the fi rst fi ring of the fi replace, READ the
Owner’s Information section of this manual.
DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately, CALL a qualifi ed service
technician to inspect the unit and to replace any part
of the control system and any gas control that has
been under water.
THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.
Installation and repair should be PERFORMED
by a qualifi ed 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, etc. It is
IMPERATIVE that the unit’s control compartment,
burner, 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 fl ammable
vapors and liquids.
NEVER OBSTRUCT the fl ow of combustion and
ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance CLEAR
of all obstacles and materials for servicing and proper
operation.
Due to the high temperature, the appliance should be
LOCATED out of traffi c areas and away from furniture
and draperies. Clothing or fl ammable 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.
This unit MUST be used with a vent system as
described in this installation manual. NO OTHER vent
system or components MAY BE USED.
This gas fi 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, plants, trees, shrubs are
interfering with the air fl ow.
The glass door assembly MUST be in place and
sealed 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
qualifi ed service person. DO NOT strike or slam the
glass door.
The glass door assembly SHALL ONLY be replaced
as a complete unit, as supplied by the fi replace
manufacturer. NO SUBSTITUTE material may be
used.
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners on the glass door
assembly. DO NOT ATTEMPT to clean the glass door
when it is hot.
TURN OFF the gas before servicing this appliance.
It is recommended that a qualifi ed service technician
perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of
each heating season.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
MUST BE REPLACED before operating this
appliance.
DO NOT place furniture or any other combustible
household objects within 36” of the fi replace front.
YOUNG CHILDREN should be CAREFULLY
SUPERVISED when they are in the same room as
the appliance. Toddlers, young children and others
may be susceptible to ACCIDENTAL CONTACT
BURNS. A physical barrier is recommended if there
are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access
to a fi replace or stove, INST ALL AN ADJUSTABLE
SAFETY GATE to keep toddlers, young children and
other at risk individuals out of the room and away
from hot surfaces.
44
BE CAREFUL not to put any decorating objects
sensitive to heat to close above or around the
fi replace as it gets very hot when operating.
DO NOT use this heater as a temporary source of
heat during construction.
This appliance is a DOMESTIC ROOM-HEATING AP-
PLIANCE. It must not be used for any other purposes
such as drying clothes, etc.
Safety and Warning Information
Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time
When operating your new fi replace for the fi rst time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used in the manufacture of the
appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could
cause the fl ames to be the full height of the fi rebox, or
even slightly higher, for the fi rst few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room. After
a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and
the fl ames will be at their normal height.
State of California. Proposition 65 Warning.
Fuels used in gas, wood-burning or oil fi red appliances,
and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

Vent Material
This unit is approved for installation using 4 x 6-5/8
inches approved co-axial direct vent pipes and accessories listed on pages 37–38 of this guide. Follow the
installation instructions supplied with the individual
venting accessories.
This unit may also be converted to co-linear venting
with two 3-inch pipes for use in solid-fuel burning
fi replaces and chimneys using approved adapters and
accessories listed on pages 37–38 of this guide.
Wall Thickness
The appliance vent is suitable for penetrating a
combustible wall assembly up to 14 inches in
thickness. A non-combustible wall can be of any
thickness up to the maximum horizontal run of vent
pipe allowed for the particular installation.
Vent Penetration through Walls & Ceilings
Combustible: When penetrating through combustible
walls and ceilings, frame a minimum of 10 inch x 10
inch opening and ensure that the insulation is kept
clear of the vent pipe using either a wall thimble
or an attic insulation shield. Follow the installation
instructions supplied with the individual venting
components.
Non-combustible: If the wall is totally non-combustible
(e.g. masonry block or concrete), mark for a 7 inch
circular hole.
In both cases, the center of the hole should line up with
the center line of the horizontal vent.

Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations through exterior walls are
caulked and weatherproofed in such a manner as to:
• Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side by adequately caulking the
outer vent plate to the exterior wall surface.
• Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall structure by ensuring the
inside wall plate is adequately sealed to the inside vapor barrier.
• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by sealing the joints between the
outer vent tube and the inner and outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.

Horizontal Vent Termination Location
• The vent terminal must be located on an outside wall or through the roof.
• This direct vent appliance is designed to operate when an undisturbed airfl ow hits the outside vent terminal from
any direction.
• The minimum clearances from this terminal that must be maintained when located on an outside wall are shown
in fi gure below. Any reduction in these clearances could result in a disruption of the airfl ow or a safety hazard.
Local codes or regulations may require greater clearances.
• The vent terminal must not be recessed into a wall or siding.
• The vent terminal should be positioned where any snowdrifts will not cover it.
• 551DVK sidewall vent termination requires the 835TG terminal guard when
accessible—within 7’ of ground.
