INTRODUCTION
The Fireplace models covered in this manual
are Direct-Vent sealed combustion gas fi replace
heaters designed for residential application.
Direct-Vent appliances operate with the com-
bustion 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 provides
safe, effi cient operation. If any optional acces-
sories which require electrical power are being
installed, the electrical power must be provided
at the time of appliance installation.
These fi replaces are designed as supplemen-
tal heaters. Therefore, it is advisable to have
an alternate heat source when installed in a
dwelling.
These appliances are designed to operate on
natural gas or propane gas only. The use of
other fuels or combination of fuels will degrade
the performance of this system and may be
dangerous.

Millivolt models come standard with the manu-
ally-modulated gas valve; fl ame appearance and
heat output can be controlled at the gas valve.
