High Altitude Installations
Appliance Certification
The Heat-N-Glo fireplace models discussed in this Installers
Guide have been tested to certification standards and listed
by the applicable laboratories.
U.L. Listed gas fireplaces are tested and approved for
elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the U.S.A. and from 0 to
4,500 feet in Canada.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000
feet (in the United States), it may be necessary to decrease
the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a
smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for
each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of
the gas has been reduced, in which case this general rule
will not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with
the local gas utility.
Certification
MODELS: 7000XLS, 6000XLSB
LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories
TYPE: Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Heaters
STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88•CSA2.33
When installing this fireplace at an elevation between 2,000
and 4,500 feet (in Canada), the input rating must be reduced
by ten percent (10%).
Installation Codes
The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before
installing the fireplace, consult the local building code
agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all
applicable codes, including permits and inspections.
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 4,500
feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining
the proper orifice for your location.
In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must
conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in
the United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes
(in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70
(in the United States), or to the CSAC22.1 Canadian Electric
Code (in Canada).
These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting
room in the U.S.A. and Canada.

Getting Started
2
Introducing the Heat-N-Glo Gas Fireplaces
The Heat-N-Glo Warranty will be voided by, and Heat-N-Glo
disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:
Heat-N-Glo direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to oper-
ate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.
•
Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system
component.
•
•
•
•
Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.
Installation other than as instructed by Heat-N-Glo.
Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.
The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless
noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control
systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions,
are shown in this section.
Installation and/or use of any component part not manu-
factured and approved by Heat-N-Glo, not withstanding
any independent testing laboratory or other party approval
of such component part or accessory.
Pre-install Preparation
This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe
when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide.
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.
ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE
HAZARD.
When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to
determine:
The vent system components and trim doors are shipped
in separate packages. The gas logs may be packaged
separately and must be field installed.
• Where the unit is to be installed.
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
Read all of the instructions before starting the
installation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the
owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on
any combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that
extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.

2. Fasten the shield in place using the four pilot holes pro-
vided in the part. The shield should be oriented such that
the 13 1/8 inch dimension (longest dimension) is run-
ning in the same direction the elbow is pointing. The
shield should be centered directly above the elbow, and
positioned so that it creates a 1/2 inch airspace between
the shield and the combustible surface. See Figure 12.
2. Continue Adding Vent Components
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THE 7000XLS
!
FIREPLACE REQUIRES THE USE OF HEAT
SHIELD 570-290 ABOVE THE FIRST 900 ELBOW IN
THE VENTING SYSTEM THAT MAKES A TRANSI-
TION FROM VERTICAL TO HORIZONTAL. (HEAT
SHIELD NOT REQUIRED FOR 6000XLSB).
• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed-
ing component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the
vent system.
To Install the Heat Shield:
1. Determine if the heat shield is required. Do so by mea-
suring the vertical distance between the top horizontal
surface of the elbow to any combustible surface above.
If the distance is more than 4 inches, the heat shield is
NOT required. If it is 4 inches or less, the heat shield IS
REQUIRED. Install per the following steps. See Figure 11.
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el-
bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre-
ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)
sheet metal screws.

For Vertical Terminations - To locate the vent and install
the vent sections:
• Locate and mark the vent centerpoint on the underside
of the roof, and drive a nail through the centerpoint.
• Attach a flashing to the roof using nails, and use a non-
hardening mastic around the edges of the flashing base
where it meets the roof.
• Make the outline of the roof hole around the centerpoint
nail.
• Attach a storm collar over the flashing joint to form a
water-tight seal. Place non-hardening mastic around the
joint, between the storm collar and the vertical pipe.
• The size of the roof hole framing dimensions depend on the
pitch of the roof. There MUST BE a 1-inch (25.4mm) clear-
ance from the vertical vent pipe to combustible materials.

Step 12. Lighting the Fireplace
Step 11. Before Lighting the Fireplace
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.
Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section at
the beginning of this Installers Guide.
WARNING: PLEASE REFER TO THE USER’S
MANUAL FORALL CAUTIONS, SAFETY, AND
!
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
WARNING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
LIGHTING AND OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
After the Installation
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
LEAVE THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL WITH
!
THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run for 8 hours on the initial
start-up. This will help to cure the chemicals used in the
paint and logs.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.

Maintaining and Servicing Your Fireplace
4
Fireplace Maintenance
Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and main-
tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you
should have a qualified service technician perform an appli-
ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.
See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each
fireplace maintenance task.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING
YOUR FIREPLACE.
Replacing old ember material
Frequency: Once annually, during the checkup.
By: Qualified service technician.
7000XLS
Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.
Replace old ember material with new dime-size and shape
pieces of Golden Ember (DE-93) and Glowing Ember (050-
721). New ember material should be placed alternately on
top of the burner - a layer of Golden Ember, a layer of
Glowing Ember, and so on. Save the remaining ember
material and repeat this procedure at your next servicing.
For more information, see Placing Ember Material.
Cleaning Burner and Controls
Frequency: Once annually.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment, fireplace
logs and burner areas surrounding the logs.
Checking Flame Patterns, Flame Height
Frequency: Periodically.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Make a visual check of your fireplace’s flame patterns.
Make sure the flames are steady - not lifting or floating.
See Figure 32. The thermopile/thermocouple tips should
be covered with flame. See Figure 24.
6000XLSB
MAKE SURE THE FLAMES
ARE STEADY—NOT
LIFTING OR FLOATING.
Checking Vent System
Frequency: Before initial use and at least annually
thereafter, more frequently if possible.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to
ensure that no debris is interfering with the flow of air. Inspect
entire vent system for proper function.
Figure 32.
Burner Flame Patterns
Cleaning Glass Door
