INTRODUCTION
The Millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas
control valve with piezo ignition system.
The Electronic appliances have a battery
backed-up electronic intermittent pilot ignition
system. No external electrical power is required
to operate these appliances; however, 120V
AC is recommended (see Step 4, “Install Field
Wiring,” on Page 12).
Use Only These Approved Vent Components:
These vented gas fireplaces are designed for
residential applications. They must be installed
with approved Type-B double-wall vent pipe
systems and a listed vent termination routed
to the outside atmosphere. Use only the proper
size listed below.
• 4" B-Vent for 35" models and 5" B-Vent for
40" models.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Children and adults should be alerted to
the hazards of high surface temperature
and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
Les enfants et les adultes devraient
être infor-més des dangers que posent
les températures de surface élevées
et se tenir à distance afin d’éviter des
brûlures ou que leurs vêtements ne
s’enflamment.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER OR
MODIFY THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
APPLIANCE OR ITS COMPONENTS. ANY
MODIFICATION OR ALTERATION MAY
VOID THE WARRANTY, CERTIFICATION,
AND LISTINGS OF THIS UNIT.
WARNING
Young children should be care-
fully supervised when they are
in the same room as the appli-
ance. Toddlers, young children
and others may be susceptible
to accidental contact burns.
A physical barrier is recom-
mended if there are at risk
individuals in the house. To
restrict access to a fireplace
or stove, install an adjustable
safety gate to keep toddlers,
young children and other at
risk individuals out of the room
and away from hot surfaces.
AVERTISSEMENT
Les jeunes enfants devraient être
surveillés étroitement lorsqu’ils
se trouvent dans la même pièce
que l’appareil. Les tout petits,
les jeunes enfants ou les adultes
peuvent subir des brûlures s’ils
viennent en contact avec la sur-
face chaude. Il est recommandé
d’installer une barrière physique
si des personnes à risques habi-
tent la maison. Pour empêcher
l’accès à un foyer ou à un poêle,
installez une barrière de sécu-
rité; cette mesure empêchera les
tout petits, les jeunes enfants et
toute autre personne à risque
d’avoir accès à la pièce et aux
surfaces chaudes.
WARNING
B-Vent appliances are
not designed to operate
in negatively pressured
environments (pressure within
the home is less than pressures
outside). Significant negatively
pressured environments caused
by weather, home design, or
other devices may impact the
operation of these appliances.
Negative pressures may result
in poor flame appearance,
sooting, damage to property
and/or severe personal
injury. Do not operate these
appliances in negatively
pressured environments.
