Grate Heater 2017 Installation And Operating Instructions

Installation and Operating Instructions

Congratulations!
You have purchased a quality Heat & Glo Grate Heater.
The Grate Heater can be used in a wood-burning ma-
sonry fireplace with any set of glass doors and features
a concealed blower that retains the natural beauty of
your fireplace. With proper care and maintenance, the
Grate Heater is a safe and efficient insert for your fire-
place.
This unit is recommended for use with a glass door en-
closure. Using the Grate Heater in conjunction with glass
doors produces maximum performance from the fireplace
and presents a lower operating fuel cost.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
All units come with a front grill 1-3/8 inch high and 48
inches wide. This unit will force more heated air into the
room and allow a more comfortable temperature during
the brisk winter months by having one (1) venting outlet.
After installing, avoid building a raging fire in the fire-
place. The fan will distribute more heat directly to the
room if the burn cycle is even. Overfiring can cause
discoloration to any glass door unit and may damage
the heat exchanger.
Step 1.
Verify that the Grate Heater is the proper size for the
fireplace.
Step 2.
For fireplaces with existing glass doors, make sure
they can be elevated 1-3/8 inch. Remove the glass
doors. Insert the Grate Heater and reposition the glass
door on top of the riser bar. This will elevate the glass
door 1-3/8 inch.

Step 3.
Mount extender bars on the heat exchanger with the
metal screws provided (see Figure 1).
Step 4.
Place the glass door enclosure on the front of the ex-
changer, making sure the glass door and heat exchanger
are centered in the fireplace.
Step 5.
Remove the extender bars and cut them so the total
riser bar width is the same as the glass enclosure. Cut
the cord shield to the desired length and slide it on the
extender bar where cord is introduced (this protects the
cord from heat). Place the end caps on the ends of the
extender bars with the notched cap on the cord side
(see Figure 1).
Step 6.
Reposition and secure the glass door according to the
glass door instruction manual.
Step 7.
For a dropped hearth installation, the back legs come
standard with 1/2 inch nuts and it is recommended that
1/2 inch x 2-1/2 inch bolts be used. (Not included).
Step 8.
Plug cord into nearest outlet. Exchanger will start when
temperature reaches 110
Note: Grate heater fan should be plugged in at all
times when the unit is inuse, otherwise damage to
the motor will occur.
