GENERAL INFORMATION

The fireplace models covered in this manual
are direct-vent sealed combustion gas fireplace
heaters designed for residential application.
These direct-vent appliances operate with the
combustion chamber completely isolated from
the indoor environment.
All air for combustion is brought in from the
outside and exhaust gases are vented through
the same direct-vent, co-axial (intake/exhaust)
vent system.
The Millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas
control valve with piezo ignition system. If any
optional accessories that will require electrical
power are to be installed, the electrical power
must be provided at the time of appliance in-
stallation.
The Electronic appliances are designed to op-
erate on natural or propane gas. An electronic
intermittent pilot ignition system provides safe,
efficient operation. External electrical power is
required to operate these units. During a power
outage the fireplace may be operated using the
battery backup.
These appliances comply with National
Safety Standards and are tested and listed

116-F-13g-5) to ANSI Z21.88-2009 (in Canada,
