Getting Started
Introducing the Heat & Glo Gas Fireplaces
Heat & Glo direct vent gas fi replaces are designed to op-
erate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fi replace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fi replace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any
unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs may be packaged
separately and must be fi eld installed.

installation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefi t.
