INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS • POWER VENT DV GAS FIREPLACES (DRC/DRT6340TYN AND DRC/DRT6345TYN) • INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL VOLCANIC STONE, GLOWING EMBERS, AND
LOGS (Traditional Only), or
GLASS MEDIA (Contemporary Only)
WARNING
• DO NOT attempt to install the logs until the
appliance installation has been completed, the
gas line connected and tested for leaks and the
initial burner operation has been checked out.
• The size and position of the log set was engi-
neered to give the appliance a safe, reliable
and attractive flame pattern. Any attempt to use
a different log set in the fireplace will void the
warranty and will result in incomplete combus-
tion, sooting, and poor flame quality.
• Logs get very hot and will remain hot up to one
hour after gas supply is turned OFF. Handle only
when logs are cool. Turn OFF all electricity to
the appliance before you install grate, volcanic
stone, embers and logs.
• This appliance is not designed to burn wood.
Any attempt to do so could cause irreparable
damage to the appliance and prove hazardous
to your safety.
• If logs are not installed according to the log
installation instructions, flame impingement and
improper combustion could occur and result in soot
and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide
(CO), a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.
NOTE: It is important to ensure proper log and or media placement per the
manual when installing these units. Verify pilot flame is not obstructed.
Ensure media does not fall through the pilot hole in the floor. See Verifying
Appliance Operation on Page 23.
Step 1. Install the ceramic or porcelain panels, per the instructions
provided in kit.
Step 2. Place volcanic stone around the burner, as shown in Figure 55.
Step 3. Separate the glowing embers from the larger bag into pieces about
the size of a quarter, as shown in Figure 56. Mix the glowing
embers with the bag of platinum embers also provided with the
fireplace. Keep the pieces fluffed, not matted. Distribute these
pieces over the burner as shown in Figure 57. Do not use more
glowing embers than necessary. When properly positioned, the
glowing embers will cover approximately 75% of the burner for
natural gas applications.
NOTE: Excessive use of glowing embers may result in sooting or poor
flame. This appliance is provided with enough glowing embers for
several applications. Do not use all provided, in one application. For
best glowing effect, replace the ember material annually. Replacement
volcanic stone, glowing embers, and platinum embers are available
(see Table 5).
Step 4. Position the individual logs as shown in Figure 58 through Figure
61 on Page 42. Logs should be placed in the order shown. Place
logs 2 and 3 against the pins on the grate, NOT over them.
Proper log and twig placement is critical to encourage outstanding
flame appearance and prevent sooting. When positioned properly
as shown, twigs will be positioned between flame peaks and will
not impinge any flames.
