Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Heatilator direct vent gas appliances are designed to op-
erate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No
additional outside air source is required.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• Whether the ION will be installed On-Wall or In-Wall
(See Section 2.D),
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping requirements.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a wall
switch or remote control—are desired.
Installation and service of this appliance should be
performed by qualified personnel. Hearth & Home
Technologies suggests NFI certified or factory
trained professionals, or technicians supervised by
an NFI certified professional (www.nficertified.org).
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For
assistance or additional information, consult a qualified
service technician, service agency or your dealer.
