Introducing Quadra-Fire Gas Fireplaces
Quadra-Fire 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 Owner’s Manual, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control sys-
tems. Gas fi replace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Pre-installation Preparation
This gas fi replace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Owner’s Manual.
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.
Read all of the instructions before starting the instal-
lation. Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benefi t. Fail-
ure to follow these instructions will void the owner’s
warranty and may present a fi re hazard.
The Hearth & Home Technologies Warranty will be voided
by, and Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any
responsibility for, the following actions:
• Installation of any damaged fi replace or vent system
component.
• Modifi cation of the fi replace or direct vent system.
• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies.
• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not manu-
factured and approved by Hearth & Home Technologies,
not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or
other party approval of such component part or acces-
sory.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.
When planning a fi replace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:
• Where the unit is to be installed.
• The vent system confi guration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and fi nishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fi replace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on
any combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the
fi replace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fi replace.
