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 inches (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 41.
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.

Safety and Warning Information
READ and UNDERSTAND all instructions carefully
before starting the installation. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
these installation instructions may result in possible re
hazard and will void the warranty.
Prior to the rst ring of the 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 qualied 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
qualied 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, burners, 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 ammable
vapors and liquids.
NEVER OBSTRUCT the 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 trafc areas and away from
furniture and draperies. Clothing or ammable material
SHOULD NOT BE PLACED on or near the appliance.
This unit MUST be used with a vent system as
described 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.
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 qualied
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 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 qualied 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 replace front.
Children and adults should be ALERTED to the
hazards 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.

Safety and Warning Information
Operating your replace for the rst time
When operating your new replace for the 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 ames
to be the full height of the rebox, or even slightly higher, for the 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 ames will be at their normal height.
State of California. Proposition 65 Warning.
Fuels used in gas, wood-burning or oil 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. California

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 inches 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.
12
Hearth Requirements
Rules
1. Any hearth/oor in front of replace within 4 inches of the bottom of the unit must be non-combustible and project
a minimum distance as shown on page 14. The hearth/oor must have a non-combustible nish applied over
the 1/2 inch insulation board provided with the engine. This insulation board acts as a thermal break.
2. Minimum hearth projection is determined by a combination of the height of the hearth above the surface of
combustible oor or carpet and the distance between the hearth and the bottom of the replace.
3. Combustible baseboards (1 inch thick or less) located on the wall are acceptable provided they are located below
the base of the raised replace.
