L. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Blue flames
When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from
finishing materials and adhesives used near the fireplace. These circumstances may require
additional curing related to the installation environment.
Odor from fireplace
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass
cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Film on the glass
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the fireplace.

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.
The vent system configuration to be used.

Electrical wiring requirements.
Framing and finishing details.
Storm Collar
Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
•
•
•
•
The vent system components and decorative doors and
fronts may be shipped in separate packages.
If packaged separately, the log set and appliance grate
must be installed.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment,
particularly the condition of the glass.
Read all of the instructions before starting the installation.
Follow these instructions carefully during the installation
to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
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.
C. Tools and Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure that the follow-
ing tools and building supplies are available.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! Damaged parts
could impair safe operation. DO NOT install damaged,
incomplete or substitute components. Keep appliance dry.

•
•
Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace.
Avoid installing the fireplace near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces.
Recessed lighting should be of “sealed can” design; attic
hatches weather stripped or sealed; and attic mounted
ductwork and air handler joints and seams taped or
sealed.
Basement installations should be avoided due to stack
effect. Stack effect creates negative pressure in lower
levels. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends the
use of direct vent fireplaces in basements.
E. Negative Pressure
WARNING! Asphyxiation Risk! Negative pressure can
cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fireplace
needs to draft properly for safety.
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:
•
•
Preventing negative pressure
Location of fireplace and chimney
•
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air
available for the fireplace to operate properly. Causes for
this imbalance include:
Location of the fireplace and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in Figure 4.2, the chimney should:
•
•
•
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
Range hoods
Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances
Clothes dryers
Location of return-air to furnace or air conditioning
Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
Upper level air leaks (recessed lighting, attic hatch
opening, duct leaks)
•
Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the
building envelope. This helps to produce more draft,
especially during lighting and die-down of the fire.
Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the effects of wind turbulence.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven
roof lines and other obstructions.
Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be mini-
mized. Consider the fireplace location relative to floor
and ceiling and attic joists.
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the fol-
lowing must be considered:
•
Install the fresh air kit. Install the intake on the side of
the house towards prevailing winds during the heating
season.
•
Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment.

B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling firestops and wall shield
firestops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the
requirements of local building codes. Therefore, you MUST
check local building codes to determine the requirements
to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-
side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-
lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may
be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness. To
further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fire-
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should
be caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced
insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement
slab, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to
prevent conducting cold up into the room.
