WARNING: Check with your electronics manufacturer
before installing a television or other electronic device above this fireplace.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or
cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace
heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor
the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least ten
(10) hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been
installed, place fan in the "OFF" position during this time.

NOTE: (Fig. 1)
* When you install your fireplace in (D) Room divider or (E) Flat
on wall corner positions, a minimum of 6 (X) inches (153mm)
clearance must be maintained from the perpendicular wall and
the outer edge of the trim.
Insert Applications
Before installing the gas fireplace insert, consideration must
be given to the functioning needs of the fireplace. The size
of the fireplace cavity (min. 25
438 x 343 mm) for the LHECDV20 and LHERDV20, 28³⁄₄"W
x 21"H x 15¹⁄₂"D (730 x 533 x 394 mm) for LHECDV30 and
LHERDV30), the design of the chimney for effective venting
should be determined. The availability of the gas supply as well
as electricity for the insert fan must be confirmed.
Your Direct Vent Insert unit is designed to be
vented vertically with a minimum height of
12' (4 m).

Framing & Finishing
For Zero Clearance Kit applications, it is important to
determine the finished facing material before beginning
to frame. This will allow for the thickness of the finishing
material between the frame and the fireplace trim.
Similarly, consideration must be given to the 1" inch
depth of the air inlet channel sitting on the fireplace
base. Finishing material for the hearth should be flush
with the top of the air inlet channel.
If the fireplace is installed at floor level a noncombustible hearth must extend a minimum 12" (305 mm) in
front of the fireplace.
If the fireplace is recessed into the wall and at least 12"
(305 mm) above floor level, no hearth is required.
The use of wallpaper adjacent to this fireplace is not recommended as high temperatures given off by this fireplace may
adversely effect the binders in the adhesive used to apply the wallpaper.

NOTE: Insulating around the fireplace will result in
overheating and possible malfunctioning of the circulating fan.
Zero Clearance Applications
An alternate air supply is recommended
with this component.
For installation other than in existing woodburning fireplaces such as new construction or renovation projects, a Zero Clearance Kit must be used. The
kit enables these inserts to be installed in combustible
environments. Whenever using a Zero Clearance Kit,
consideration must be given to the dimensions of the
Zero Clearance Kit and the requirements of the Air Kit.
NOTE: If a Zero Clearance Kit is required for models LHECDV20/LHERDV20/LHECDV30/LHERDV30
Direct Vent Inserts, only the CFM Corporation zero
clearance kit HEZC combined with the HEDVCAK is
approved to be used. Refer to Page 9, figure 10 for
HEDVCAK chimney adapter kit installation. When
using the HEZC with insert models LHECDV20 or
LHERDV20, the Trim Closure Kit, LHE20TCK, must
also be installed.
