LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY  
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc., on behalf of its hearth brands (”HHT”), extends the following warranty for

WARRANTY COVERAGE:  
HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership  
of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance  
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered compo-  
nents manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period,  
HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its  
obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product  
itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty  
is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.  
WARRANTY PERIOD:  
Warranty coverage begins on the date of installation. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on  
the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent, authorized HHT  
dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of  
product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for parts and labor for  
covered components is produced in the following table.  
The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for  
gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These  
time periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.

B. Warranty (continued)  
WARRANTY CONDITIONS:  
This warranty only covers HHT appliances that are purchased through an HHT authorized dealer or distributor. A list of  
HHT authorized dealers is available on the HHT branded websites.  
This warranty is only valid while the HHT appliance remains at the site of original installation.  
Contact your installing dealer for warranty service. If the installing dealer is unable to provide necessary parts, contact  
the nearest HHT authorized dealer or supplier. Additional service fees may apply if you are seeking warranty service  
from a dealer other than the dealer from whom you originally purchased the product.  
Check with your dealer in advance for any costs to you when arranging a warranty call. Travel and shipping charges  
for parts are not covered by this warranty.  
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:  
This warranty does not cover the following:  
Changes in surface finishes as a result of normal use. As a heating appliance, some changes in color of interior and  
exterior surface finishes may occur. This is not a flaw and is not covered under warranty.  
Damage to printed, plated, or enameled surfaces caused by fingerprints, accidents, misuse, scratches, melted items,  
or other external sources and residues left on the plated surfaces from the use of abrasive cleaners or polishes.  
Repair or replacement of parts that are subject to normal wear and tear during the warranty period. These parts  
include: paint, wood, pellet and coal gaskets; firebricks; grates; flame guides; and the discoloration of glass.  
Minor expansion, contraction, or movement of certain parts causing noise. These conditions are normal and com-  
plaints related to this noise are not covered by this warranty.  
Damages resulting from: (1) failure to install, operate, or maintain the appliance in accordance with the installation  
instructions, operating instructions, and listing agent identification label furnished with the appliance; (2) failure to  
install the appliance in accordance with local building codes; (3) shipping or improper handling; (4) improper opera-  
tion, abuse, misuse, continued operation with damaged, corroded or failed components, accident, or improperly/  
incorrectly performed repairs; (5) environmental conditions, inadequate ventilation, negative pressure, or drafting  
caused by tightly sealed constructions, insufficient make-up air supply, or handling devices such as exhaust fans or  
forced air furnaces or other such causes; (6) use of fuels other than those specified in the operating instructions; (7)  
installation or use of components not supplied with the appliance or any other components not expressly authorized  
and approved by HHT; (8) modification of the appliance not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in writing;  
and/or (9) interruptions or fluctuations of electrical power supply to the appliance.  
Non-HHT venting components, hearth components or other accessories used in conjunction with the appliance.  
Any part of a pre-existing fireplace system in which an insert or a decorative gas appliance is installed.  
HHT’s obligation under this warranty does not extend to the appliance’s capability to heat the desired space. Informa-  
tion is provided to assist the consumer and the dealer in selecting the proper appliance for the application. Consider-  
ation must be given to appliance location and configuration, environmental conditions, insulation and air tightness of  
the structure.  
This warranty is void if:  
The appliance has been over-fired or operated in atmospheres contaminated by chlorine, fluorine, or other damaging  
chemicals. Over-firing can be identified by, but not limited to, warped plates or tubes, rust colored cast iron, bubbling,  
cracking and discoloration of steel or enamel finishes.  
The appliance is subjected to prolonged periods of dampness or condensation.  
There is any damage to the appliance or other components due to water or weather damage which is the result of, but  
not limited to, improper chimney or venting installation.  
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY:  
The owner’s exclusive remedy and HHT’s sole obligation under this warranty, under any other warranty, express or  
implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above. In no  
event will HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the appliance. Some states  
do not allow exclusions or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.  
This warranty gives you specific rights; you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. EXCEPT TO  
THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, HHT MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY  
SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO DURATION OF THE  
EXPRESSED WARRANTY SPECIFIED ABOVE.

M.Frequently Asked Questions  
ISSUE  
SOLUTIONS  
Condensation on the glass  
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this  
condensation will disappear.  
Blue flames  
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed  
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.  
Odor from appliance  
When first operated, this appliance 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 appliance. These circumstances may require additional  
curing related to the installation environment.  
Film on the glass  
Metallic noise  
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within  
ꢁ to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may  
be necessary. See your dealer.  
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 appliance.  
Is it normal to see the pilot  
flame burn continually?  
In an IntelliFire ignition system (IPI), the pilot flame should turn off when appliance is turned off.  
Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot flame to remain lit. In a  
standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.

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.  
Gas supply piping.  
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.

ꢀ5  
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.

A. Selecting Appliance Location  
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important to consider the required clearances to walls, Figures 5.ꢀ and  
5.2.  
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate  
clearance around air openings and for service access. Due  
to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out  
of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

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.  
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.  
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.

clearances to appliance and vent pipe:  
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces  
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on  
carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than  
wood.  
Insulation and other materials must be secured to  
prevent accidental contact.  
The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown  
insulation or other combustibles from entering and  
making contact with fireplace or chimney.  
Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and  
a fire.  
Note: If the inside of the framed cavity is to be finished,  
the framing dimensions must include the finished surface.  
Example: If drywall is to be attached to the rear wall, the  
depth must be measured from the drywall surface.  
Note: The appliance must be raised 1 1/4 in. (32 mm) off floor so  
the Harbor System can be used. Adjust framing and vent locations
