OPERATION  
This direct-vent fireplace is clean burning  
and vents easily through outside walls or  
vertically using outside air for combustion.  
Heat is generated by both realistic flames  
and glowing embers. When used without  
the blower accessory, the fireplace requires  
no electricity making it ideal for emergency  
backup heat.

WARNING: Read all instruc-  
tions completely and thoroughly  
before attempting installation.  
Failure to do so could result in  
serious injury, property damage  
or loss of life. Operation of im-  
properlyinstalledandmaintained  
venting system could result in  
serious injury, property damage  
or loss of life.  
Note:You may use two 45° elbows in place  
of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise to run  
ratios when using 45° elbows.  
WARNING: This gas fireplace  
and vent assembly must be  
vented directly to the outside.  
TheventingsystemmustNEVER  
be attached to a chimney serving  
a separate solid fuel burning ap-  
pliance.Eachgasappliancemust  
use a separate vent system. Do  
not use common vent systems.  
For two-story applications, firestops are re-  
quired at each floor level. If an offset is  
needed in the attic, additional pipe and el-  
bows will be required.  
You may use a chase with a vent termination  
withexposedpipeontheexteriorofthehouse.  
See Installing Vent System in a Chase, below.  
WARNING: Seal all vent con-  
nections. Seal only the outer pipe

INSTALLATION PLANNING  
Installing Vent System in a Chase  
INSTALLATION  
PRECAUTIONS  
There are two basic types of direct-vent  
installation:  
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built  
to enclose venting that runs along the out-  
sideofabuilding.Achaseisnotrequiredfor  
such venting.  
• Horizontal Termination  
Vertical Termination  
Consultlocalbuildingcodesbeforebeginning  
the installation. The installer must make sure  
to select the proper vent system for installa-  
tion. Before installing vent kit, the installer  
must read this fireplace manual and vent kit  
instructions.  
It is important to select the proper length of  
vent pipe for the type of termination you  
choose. It is also important to note the wall  
thickness.  
NOTICE: Treatment of firestops  
andconstructionofthechasemay  
vary from building type to build-  
ing type. These instructions are  
not substitutes for the require-  
mentsoflocalbuildingcodes.You  
must follow all local building  
codes.  
Only a qualified service person should in-  
stall venting system. The installer must fol-  
low these safety rules:  
For Horizontal Termination: Select the  
amount of vertical rise desired. The horizon-  
tal run of venting must have 1/4" rise for  
every 12" of run towards the termination.  
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for  
protection  
Note:Wheninstallinginachase,youshould  
insulate the chase as you would the outside  
walls of your home. This is especially im-  
portant in cold climates. Minimum clear-  
ance between vent pipes and combustible  
materials such as insulation is 1".  
WARNING:Neverrunthevent  
downward as this may cause ex-  
cessive temperatures which  
could cause a fire.  
• Use extreme caution when using ladders  
or when on roof tops  
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations  
in walls and ceilings  
You may use one or two 90° elbows in this  
ventconfiguration. SeeHorizontalTermina-  
tion Configurations on pages 10 and 11.  
The following actions will void the war-  
ranty on your venting system:  
After framing the chase (see Framing and  
Finishing on pages 4 and 5) install the vent  
system by following the installation in-  
structions.  
• Installation of any damaged venting

INSTALLATION FOR  
HORIZONTAL TERMINATION  
1. Determine the route your horizontal  
venting will take. Note: The location

terminal into a wall or siding.  
Snorkel terminations are available for  
terminations requiring a vertical rise on  
the exterior of the building (see Figures  
9 and 10). Snorkel kit SVK is also avail-  
able (see page 15). Follow the same in-  
stallation procedures used for standard  
horizontal terminations. If installing the  
Figure 9 - Snorkel Termination  
snorkel termination below grade (base-  
Snorkel  
ment applications), you must provide  
proper drainage to prevent water from  
entering the snorkel termination (see  
Figure 10). Do not back fill around the  
snorkel termination.  
2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have spe-  
cial twist-lock connections. Assemble  
the desired combination of pipe and el-  
bows to the appliance adaptor with pipe  
seams oriented towards the wall or floor.  
12" Minimum  
To Ground Level  
Twist-lock Procedure: The female  
ends of the pipes and fittings have four  
locking lugs (indentations). These lugs  
will slide straight into matching slots on  
the male ends of adjacent pipes and fit-  
tings. (All connections must be sealed  
with high temperature silicone sealant  
as specified in the second warning state-  
ment on page 7.) Push the pipe sections  
together and twist one section clockwise  
approximately one-quarter turn until the  
sections are fully locked. See Figure 11,  
page 9. Note: Horizontal runs of vent  
must be supported every three feet. Use  
wall straps for this purpose.  
Adequate drainage  
Flexible vent pipe must be installed with  
spacer springs every 12". See Figure 11,  
page 9.All connections must be clamped  
tightly and sealed with high temperature  
silicone sealant as specified in the sec-  
ond warning statement on page 7.

DIRECT-VENT FIREPLACE (NATURAL/PROPANE/LP)  
4. Connect a section of pipe and extend  
up through the hole.  
Flat Ceiling Installation  
VENTING  
1. Cut a 10" square hole in the ceiling us-  
ing the locating hole as a center point.  
The opening should be framed to  
10"x10" (254mm x 254mm) inside di-  
mensions, as shown in Figure 12 on  
page 9 using framing lumber the same  
size as the ceiling joists. If the area  
above the ceiling is an insulated ceil-  
ing or a room, nail firestop from the  
top side. This prevents loose insulation  
from falling into the required clearance  
space. Otherwise, install firestop below  
the framed hole. The firestop should be  
installed with no less than three nails  
per side (see Figure 22).  
INSTALLATION  
Note: If an offset is needed to avoid  
obstructions, you must support the vent  
pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for  
this purpose (see Figure 21). Whenever  
possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90°  
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less re-  
striction to the flow of the flue gases  
and intake air.  
Continued  
INSTALLATION FOR  
VERTICAL TERMINATION  
NOTICE:Userigidpipeonly.Flex  
venting is not to be used with a  
vertical termination.  
5. Place the flashing over the pipe  
section(s) extending through the roof.  
Secure the base of the flashing to the  
roof and framing with roofing nails. Be  
sure roofing material overlaps the top  
edge of the flashing as shown in Figure  
21. There must be a 1" clearance from  
the vent pipe to combustible materials.  
1. Determine the route your vertical vent-  
ing will take. If ceiling joists, roof  
rafters, or other framing will obstruct the  
venting system, consider an offset (see  
Figure 21) to avoid cutting load bearing  
members. Note: Pay special attention  
to these installation instructions for re-  
quired clearances (air space) to combus-  
tibles when passing through ceilings,  
walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, etc.  
Do not pack air spaces with insulation.  
Also note maximum vertical rise of the  
venting system and any maximum hori-  
zontal offset limitations. Offsets must  
fall within the parameters shown in  
Figure 8 on page 6.  
2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe  
and elbows necessary to reach from the  
fireplace flue up through the firestop.  
All connections must be sealed with  
high temperature silicone sealant as  
specified in the second warning state-  
ment on page 7. Be sure all pipe and  
elbow connections are fully twist-  
locked (see Figure 11, page 9).  
6. Continue to add pipe sections until the  
height of the vent cap meets the mini-  
mum building code requirements de-  
scribed in Figure 8 on page 6. Note:You  
must increase vent height for steep roof  
pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining rooflines,  
steep pitched roofs, and other similar fac-  
tors may cause poor draft or down-draft-  
ing in high winds. Increasing the vent  
height may solve this problem.  
3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating  
hole as a center point. (Cover any ex-  
posed open vent pipes before cutting  
hole in roof.) The 10"x10" hole must  
be measured on the horizontal; actual  
length may be larger depending on the  
pitch of the roof. There must be a 1"  
clearance from the vent pipe to combus-  
tible materials. Frame the opening as  
shown in Figure 12 on page 9.  
2. Set the fireplace in desired location.  
Drop a plumb line down from the ceil-  
ing to the position of the fireplace exit  
flue. Mark the center point where the  
vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a  
small locating hole at this point.  
7. Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last  
section of vent pipe and seal outer pipe  
connection with high temperature sili-  
cone sealant as specified in the second  
warning statement on page 7.  
Note: If the vent pipe passes through any  
occupied areas above the first floor, including  
storage spaces and closets, you must enclose  
pipe. Youmayframeandsheetrocktheenclo-  
surewithstandardconstructionmaterial.Make  
sure and meet the minimum allowable clear-  
ances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the  
required air spaces with insulation.  
Drop a plumb line from the inside of  
the roof to the locating hole in the ceil-  
ing. Mark the center point where the  
vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a  
small locating hole at this point.  
If area above is a room, install firestop  
above framed hole.

Cathedral Ceiling Installation  
1. Remove shingles or other roof cover-  
ing as necessary to cut the rectangular  
hole for the support box. Mark the out-  
line of the cathedral ceiling support box  
on the roof sheathing using the locat-  
ing hole as a center point.

however, be in your fireplace when you are  
installing the blower. Also for clarity the  
firebox is shown with dotted lines.  
NOTICE: This fireplace is in-  
tended for use as supplemental  
heat.Usethisfireplacealongwith  
your primary heating system. Do  
not install this fireplace as your  
primary heat source. If you have  
acentralheatingsystem,youmay  
run system's circulating blower  
while using fireplace. This will  
help circulate the heat through-  
out the house. In the event of a  
power outage, you can use this  
fireplace as a heat source.  
INSTALLING OPTIONAL  
BLOWER ACCESSORY  
1. Open lower louver panel or remove for  
easier access.  
NOTICE: If installing blower in an  
existing fireplace with gas con-  
nections,shutoffgassupplyand  
disconnect heater from gas sup-  
ply. Contact a qualified service  
person to do this.  
2. Place the blower against the lower rear  
wall of firebox outer wrapper with the  
exhaust port directed upward.Align the  
holes in the top mounting tabs of blower  
with holes in wall of wrapper (see Fig-  
ure 30, page 17). Using the two screws  
provided, mount blower and tighten  
screws securely.  
Attaching Thermal Switch to  
DA3610TA Thermostatically-  
Controlled Blower  
Note: For DA3610TA, make sure the  
thermal switch is comfortably under the  
back of the firebox as shown in Figure  
31, page 17.  
WARNING: A qualified ser-  
vicepersonmustinstallfireplace.  
Follow all local codes.  
When installing the DA3610TA thermo-  
statically-controlled blower accessory, you  
must first secure the thermal switch to the  
blower.  
3. Be sure to securely attach all wire ter-  
minals to terminals on blower motor  
(and thermal switch where applicable)  
and that the screw retaining the green  
ground wire is tight.  
CAUTION: This fireplace cre-  
ateswarmaircurrents.Thesecur-  
rents move heat to wall surfaces  
next to fireplace. Installing fire-  
place next to vinyl or cloth wall  
coverings or operating fireplace  
where impurities (such as to-  
bacco smoke, aromatic candles,  
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene  
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may  
discolor walls.  
1. Remove the two hex head screws on the  
blower assembly as shown in Figure 29.  
2. Place the green wire between the bot-  
tom hole on the thermal switch bracket  
and the bottom hole on the blower as-  
sembly. Insert one of the hex screws  
into all three pieces and tighten.  
4. Remove screws securing the plate con-  
taining the ON/OFF switch to the bot-  
tom of the firebox and set aside.  
5. Place speed control against back of this  
plate and push the plastic control shaft  
through opening (see Figure 32, page 17).  
3. Insert the top screw through the ther-  
mal switch bracket and into the blower  
assembly. Tighten screw.  
6. While supporting speed control, secure  
control shaft with lock nut by pushing and  
turning lock nut with pliers clockwise  
until tight against the plate. Place control  
knob provided onto shaft (see Figure 32,  
page 17).  
4. Connect the blue wire on the blower  
assembly to the right side of the ther-  
mal switch.  
Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used  
inzeroclearanceinstallations.Wallorfram-  
ing material can be placed directly against  
any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top  
of your fireplace, except where standoff  
spacers are integrally attached. If standoff  
spacers are attached to your fireplace, these  
spacers can be placed directly against wall  
or framing material. See framing details on  
page 4.  
5. Connect the black wire to the left side  
of the thermal switch.  
7. Replace plate containing switches and  
tighten screws securely.

8. Plug in blower power cord.  
a. If your fireplace system is installed  
as a freestanding unit with an ac-  
cessory mantel, determine whether  
the power cord will exit the left side  
or the right side of the firebox. In-  
stall one plastic bushing provided  
into the 1 1/2" hole in the outer cas-  
ing through which the power cord  
will exit. Install the second plastic  
bushing provided into the floor sup-  
port bracket if exiting through the  
right side (see Figure 33). Route  
power cord through (both) plastic  
bushing(s) and plug the power cord  
into a properly grounded 3-prong  
wall receptacle near the firebox.

Supply Tank  
We recommend that you install a sediment  
trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in  
Figure 35. Locate sediment trap/drip leg  
where it is within reach for cleaning. Install  
in piping system between fuel supply and  
heater. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where  
trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A  
sediment trap traps moisture and contami-  
nants. This keeps them from going into  
fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap/drip  
leg is not installed or is installed wrong,  
fireplace may not run properly.

PILOT ASSEMBLY  
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the  
proper flame height. Alterations may have  
occurredduringshippingandhandling.Call  
a qualified service person to readjust the  
pilot if necessary.

about 1/8" above the pilot flame. The flame  
from the pilot burner must extend beyond  
both the thermocouple and thermopile.  
If burner flame pattern differs from that  
described:  
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to

This thermostat has been electronically  
calibrated at the factory and requires no  
adjustment or leveling.  
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to

DIRECT-VENT FIREPLACE (NATURAL/PROPANE/LP)  
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to  
CLEANING AND  
WARNING: Only parts sup-  
pliedbythemanufacturershould  
be used when replacing broken  
ordamagedglassdoorpanel(see  
ReplacementParts,page32).This  
glass door panel is a complete  
unit. Nosubstitutematerialsmay  
be used.  
Installing Logs, Lava Rock, and Glowing  
Embers, page 24, to properly replace logs.  
MAINTENANCE  
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any car-  
bon buildup on logs.  
WARNING: Turn off fireplace  
and let cool before cleaning.  
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replace-  
ment Parts on page 32.  
• Replace ember material periodically as  
needed. See Replacement Parts on page 32.  
CAUTION:Youmustkeepcon-  
trol areas, burners, and circulat-  
ing air passageways of fireplace  
clean. Inspect these areas of fire-  
place before each use. Have fire-  
place inspected yearly by a quali-  
fiedserviceperson.Fireplacemay  
need more frequent cleaning due  
to excessive lint from carpeting,  
bedding material, pet hair, etc.  
CAUTION: Wear gloves and  
safety glasses while handling or  
removing broken glass. Do not  
remove if glass is hot. Keep chil-  
dren and pets away from glass.  
VENTING SYSTEM  
Conduct annual inspection of the venting  
system following these guidelines:  
1. Check areas of venting system that are  
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust  
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,  
holes). Have these items replaced imme-  
diately by a qualified service person.  
If glass has been broken, carefully remove  
glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass  
Door, page 22). Vacuum all glass pieces  
with a shop vac.  
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flash-  
light into the vent. Remove any foreign  
material.  
GLASS DOOR  
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if  
pieces are hot.  
WARNING:Handleglassdoor  
panel with care. Do not strike,  
slam, or otherwise abuse glass.  
Do not operate fireplace with the  
glass door removed, cracked, or  
broken.  
3. Check for evidence of excessive con-  
densation. Continuous condensation  
can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and  
fittings and can be caused by having  
excessive lateral runs, too many elbows,  
or exterior portions of the system be-  
ing exposed to cold weather.  
Use only the ceramic glass door replace-  
ment intended for this fireplace (see Re-  
placement Parts, page 32 for detail on or-  
dering). No substitutions may be made. See  
Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 22  
for instructions for replacing glass door.  
WARNING: Do not use abra-  
sivecleanersasthismaydamage  
glass. Use a nonabrasive house-  
hold glass cleaner to clean glass.  
Do not clean glass when hot.  
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sec-  
tion or fitting has been disturbed and  
loosened. Check mechanical supports  
such as wall straps for rigidity.  
WARNING: Do not operate  
fireplace with the glass door re-  
moved, cracked, or broken.  
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During  
start-up it is normal for condensation to  
form on the inside of the glass causing lint,  
dust, and other airborne particles to cling to  
the glass surface. During initial start-up a  
slight film may form on the glass due to  
paint curing. The glass should be cleaned  
several times with a non-ammonia, non-  
abrasivehouseholdcleanerandwarmwater  
afterthefirsttwoweeksofoperation.There-  
after, clean the glass two or three times  
during each heating season, depending on  
the usage and circumstances present. Refer  
toRemoving/ReplacingGlassDooronpage  
22ofthismanualwhenremovingglassdoor  
for cleaning.  
PILOT AND BURNERS  
• Remove ember material before cleaning  
burners and replace when cleaning is  
complete.  
• Burner and controls should be cleaned  
with compressed air to remove dust, dirt,  
or lint.  
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled  
brush to remove excess dust, dirt, or lint.
