Owner’s Information ! WARNING EXTREMELY HOT!!! • READ the SAFETY information on pages 3 and 4 of this manual BEFORE operating your gas heater. • Some parts of your fireplace are EXTREMELY HOT, particularly the GLASS window. • DO NOT LET CHILDREN touch the glass or any parts of your fireplace even after it is turned off as it is still hot. • USE THE BARRIER SCREEN provided with the trim or a GATE to reduce the risk of severe burns. • Keep the remote control handset OUT OF REACH of children.
OWNER’S INFORMATION Owner’s Information Cleaning Your Fireplace ! WARNING DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT! Let the fireplace cool first before cleaning it. Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits One of the by-products of the combustion process in a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a white film on the ceramic glass of the viewing door. The composition of the deposit varies widely from various locations and also from time to time in the same location.
OWNER’S INFORMATION Owner’s Information To refit the window: 1. Place it in its bottom railing and push its top against the firebox. 2. While you hold it, pull the side levers back into the window brackets on each side. 3. Pull out the top of the window and release it to insure the springs return it. IMPORTANT: To ensure a safe operation, ensure that the spring-loaded mechanism functions properly. 4. Apply light hand pressure against the window frame sides to bed-in the window seal.
OWNER’S INFORMATION Owner’s Information Checking Pilot and Burner Flames A periodic check of the pilot and burner flames should be made. Check after the fire has been on for at least 30 minutes. The pilot flame must cover the tip of the thermocouple probe. The main burner flame pattern will vary from appliance to appliance depending on the type of installation and climatic conditions. 3.
OWNER’S INFORMATION Owner’s Information The appliance uses four 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries for its remote control receiver and one 9 V alkaline battery for its handset. Batteries should last one to two seasons, depending on usage. Removing the batteries in the off-season will extend the battery life. Should the batteries lose power, the control may be operated by manually turning the control knob at the valve or by turning off the valve at the switch.

QUALIFIED INSTALLER Hearth Requirements General Hearth Considerations ! WARNING SAFETY WARNING! The Ventana is a very effective radiant heater. The hearth/floor in front of the heater can get very hot (in excess of 200ºF). Locating the unit raised above the hearth/floor or adding one of the optional screen fronts or a generic freestanding screen in front of the unit can greatly reduce hearth temperatures.
Hearth Requirements QUALIFIED INSTALLER Rules 1. Any hearth/floor in front of fireplace within 4 inches of the bottom of the unit must be non-combustible and project a minimum distance as shown on page 26. The hearth/floor must have a non-combustible finish applied over the 1/2 inch insulation board provided with the engine. This insulation board acts as a thermal break. 2.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Hearth Requirements Unit With Site-Built Non-Combustible Hearth Extending When using Optional Trims and Mantels, Surface of Finished Hearth Must Be Flush With Bottom of Fireplace Example: If the fireplace is raised 2” above combustible floor, the non-combustible-flushwith-bottom-of-fireplace hearth must project a min. of 6” in front of the fireplace.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Framing Between underside of header and base of heater. Note: May increase if raising heater further. See Hearth Requirements Section.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Venting Vent Material Wall Thickness This unit is approved for installation using 4 x 6-5/8 inches co-axial direct vent pipe and accessories as listed in the Approved Venting Components section on pages 47–48 of this manual. Follow the installation instructions supplied with the individual venting accessories. The appliance vent is suitable for penetrating a combustible wall assembly up to 8 inches in thickness.
Co-axial Venting QUALIFIED INSTALLER Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a manner as to: • Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior wall surface.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Co-axial Venting How to Read the Venting Chart The chart below applies to roof or wall termination. 1. The total length of the vent pipe cannot exceed 40 feet (12.2 m). 2. The minimum vertical height with roof termination is 6 feet (1.83 m). 3. Any combination of rise and run can be used as long as they are within the allowable limits shown on the chart below. 4. A maximum of 4 x 90 degrees elbows—or equivalent (2 x 45 degr. = 90 degr.)—can be used. 5.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Co-axial Venting Restrictor MANY INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE A RESTRICTOR for improved flame picture and performance, This unit is supplied with one restrictor having four different positions or settings. The level of restriction required depends on the vertical rise in the venting system and, to a lesser degree, the horizontal run and number of elbows. INSTALL HERE The amount of restriction is based on laboratory tests.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Co-axial Venting Vent Termination • The vent terminal must be located on an outside wall or through the roof. • This direct vent appliance is designed to operate when an undisturbed airflow hits the outside vent terminal from any direction. • The minimum clearances from this terminal that must be maintained when located on an outside wall are shown in the figure below. Any reduction in these clearances could result in a disruption of the airflow or a safety hazard.
