DRL3000 Linear Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces
Electronic models of these appliances are equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug utilized in connecting the electronic components to the junction box in the lower
compartment. This grounding plug provides protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from the plug.
Install the wiring for the wall switch receiver
Place the wall switch receiver in the OFF position during installation or maintenance. The remote control transmitter
and wall switch receiver work via radio frequency. If the wall switch receiver is mounted in a metal case, severe
loss of performance (reduction in operational range) may result. Turn OFF main gas supply to the fireplace during
installation, maintenance, removal, or replacement of the wall switch receiver.
1. Install a junction box (not provided) on the wall adjacent to the appliance, within reach of the remote system
umbilical cord wiring harness.
2. Position the 2-wire harness in the junction box (not included).
Fire hazard. Can cause severe injury or death. The wall switch receiver causes ignition of the
appliance. The appliance can turn on suddenly. Keep away from the appliance burner when
operating the remote system or activating manual bypass of the remote control system.
Property damage hazard. Excessive heat can cause property damage. The appliance can
stay lit for many hours. Turn OFF the appliance if it is not going to be attended for any length
of time. Always place the remote control transmitter where children cannot reach it.
Install batteries for battery backup
Batteries are only required to operate the unit in the event of loss of 120 VAC line power.
1. Remove the surround, if installed (Figure 41).
2. Remove the glass door for easier access (Page 58).
3. The battery holder is attached via cable to the CPI/IPI bracket on the left hand side (Figure 50). Pull the cable
until the battery holder is visible. Turn the battery holder such that it will clear the unit and can be removed from
the unit (the black and red wires will still be connected to the unit).
4. Place the four (4) provided AA batteries into the holder. Align the (–) end of the batteries the the spring end of the
holder.
5. Replace the battery holder and other removed components (if applicable) in reverse order.

Connect the Gas Line

The gas control valve is located in the lower control compartment (Figure 45).
All codes require a shutoff valve mounted in the supply line. Figure 31 illustrates the method for connecting the gas
supply. The flex-line method is acceptable in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements vary depending on locality.
Installation must be in compliance with local codes. The provided gas-line shutoff valve (located in the control
compartment) is intended as a service shutoff. National and local codes may require installation of a second gas-
line shutoff valve (not provided) in a readily accessible location. Consult local codes. It is the responsibility of the
plumber to provide an accessible shutoff.
These fireplaces are equipped with a gas flex line for use (where permitted) in connecting the unit to the gas line. A
gas flex line is provided to aid in attaching the direct-vent fireplace to the gas supply. The gas flex line can only be
used where local codes permit. The flex line is rated for both natural and propane gas. A manual shutoff valve is also
provided with the flex line. The gas line shutoff valve provided with the fireplace has a 1/2" NPT thread inlet port.
NOTE: Ensure the CPI/IPI switch is set to intermittent mode with the pilot in the OFF position. See control
compartment label for more information.
NOTE: A sediment trap is recommended in the gas piping within the home to prevent moisture and debris in the line
from damaging the valve.
NOTE: Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds. Ensure propane resistant compounds
are used in propane applications.
