U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without  
requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the  
U.S.A. and Canada.  
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 ft,  
it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by chang-  
ing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input rate  
should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 ft above a 2000 ft  
elevation in the U.S.A., or 10% for elevations between 2000  
and 4500 ft in Canada. If the heating value of the gas has  
been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify the prop-  
er orifice size, check with the local gas utility.  
B. Glass Specifications

tempered glass may be installed in hazardous locations such  
as bathtub enclosures as defined by the Consumer Product  
Safety Commission (CPSC). The tempered glass has been  
tested and certified to the requirements of ANSI Z97.1 and  
CPSC 16 CFR 1202 (Safety Glazing Certification Council  
SGCC# 1595 and 1597. Architectural Testing, Inc. Reports  
02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01).  
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 ft (in  
Canada), check with local authorities.  
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Section

approved) 1/2 in. (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve  
and flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 in.  
(13 mm) control valve inlet.  
If substituting for these components, please consult  
local codes for compliance.  
WARNING  
Fire Risk  
Explosion Risk  
High pressure will damage valve.  
Optional: A 5 ft flexible gas line is availavle to those regions  
which do not require black pipe to be used. See Service  
Parts List (Section 13).  
Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE  
pressure testing gas line at test pressures  
above 1/2 psig.

D. High Altitude Installations  
U.L. listed gas appliances are tested and approved without  
requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 ft in the USA  
and Canada.  
WARNING  
Fire Risk  
Explosion Risk  
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 ft,  
it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by chang-  
ing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input rate  
should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 ft above a 2000 ft  
elevation in the U.S.A., or 10% for elevations between 2000  
and 4500 ft in Canada. If the heating value of the gas has  
been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify the prop-  
er orifice size, check with the local gas utility.  
Gas build-up during line purge may  
ignite.  
Purge should be performed by qualified  
technician.  
Ensure adequate ventilation.  
Ensure there are no ignition sources such  
as sparks or open flames.  
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 ft (in  
Canada), check with local authorities.  
Asmall amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When  
first lighting appliance it will take a short time for air to  
purge from lines. When purging is complete the appliance  
will light and operate normally.  
WARNING  
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS  
Fire Risk  
Explosion Risk  
Asphyxiation Risk  
Check all fittings and connections.  
Do not use open flame.  
After the gas line installation is complete,  
all connections must be tightened and  
checked for leaks with a commercially  
available, non-corrosive leak check  
solution. Be sure to rinse off all leak check  
solution following testing.  
Fittings and connections may have loosened  
during shipping and handling.  
WARNING

C. After the Appliance is Lit  
Initial Break-in Procedure  
CAUTION  
When you light the appliance, you may notice that it pro-  
duces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If  
you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three  
to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second  
burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and  
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation  
of the glass is normal  
Prevent accidental appliance operation when not  
attended.  
Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if  
absent or if appliance will not be used for an extended  
period of time.  
Property damage possible from elevated  
temperatures.  
Note: This appliance should be run three to four hours  
on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely.  
Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run  
the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help cure  
the products used in the paint and logs.  
CAUTION  
Smoke and odors are released during initial  
operation.  
Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive  
individuals.  
WARNING

D. Frequently Asked Questions  
Issue  
Condensation on the glass  
Solutions  
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  
Film on the glass  
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of  
the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.  
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 to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas  
fireplace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.  
Metallic noise  
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.  
Is it normal to see the pilot  
flame burn continually?  
In an Intellifire ignition system it is normal to see the pilot flame, but it should turn off when ON/OFF is turned off.  
In a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.

Troubleshooting  
11  
With proper installation, operation and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do  
experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis of a problem and the  
corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualified service technician.  
A. Intellifire Ignition System  
Symptom  
The ignitor/module makes  
noise, but no spark.  
Possible Causes  
Incorrect wiring.  
Corrective Actions  
1.  
A.  
Verify “S” wire (white) for sensor and “I” wire (orange) for ignitor are connected to the  
correct terminals on the module and the pilot assembly. Reversed wires at the module  
may cause the system to make a sparking noise, but the spark may not be present at  
pilot hood.  
B.  
Loose connections or  
electrical shorts in the  
wiring.  
Verify there are no loose connections or electrical shorts in wiring from module to  
pilot assembly. The rod closest to the pilot hood should be ignitor. Verify connections  
underneath pilot assembly are tight; also verify the connections are not grounding out  
to the metal chassis, pilot burner, pilot enclosure, mesh screen if present, or any other  
metal object.  
C.  
D.  
Ignitor gap is too large.  
Faulty module.  
Verify gap of ignitor to pilot hood. The gap should be approximately .17 in. or 1/8 in.  
Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove ignitor wire “I”  
from module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. Hold ground  
wire about 3/16 in. away from “I” terminal on module. If there is no spark at “I” terminal,  
module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is fine. Inspect pilot  
assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator around electrode.  
2.  
Pilots won’t light, there is  
no noise or spark.  
A.  
B.  
Transformer installed  
incorrectly.  
Verify that transformer is installed and plugged into module. Check voltage of  
transformer under load at space connection on module with ON/OFF switch in ON  
position. Acceptable readings of a good transformer are between 3.2 and 2.8 volts AC.  
A shorted or loose  
connection in wiring  
configuration or wiring  
harness.  
Remove and reinstall the wiring harness that plugs into module. Verify there is a tight  
fit. Verify pilot assembly wiring to module. Remove and verify continuity of each wire in  
wiring harness.  
C.  
D.  
E.  
Improper wall switch  
wiring.  
Verify wall switch is wired correctly.  
Module not grounded.  
Verify black ground wire from module wire harness is grounded to metal chassis of  
appliance.  
Faulty module.  
Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove ignitor wire “I”  
from module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. Hold ground  
wire about 3/16 in. away from “I” terminal on module. If there is no spark at “I” terminal  
module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is fine. Inspect pilot  
assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator around electrode.  
3.  
Pilot lights but continues  
to spark, and main burner  
will not ignite. (If the pilot  
continues to spark after  
the pilot flame has been  
lit, flame rectification has  
not occurred.)  
A.  
B.  
A shorted or loose  
Verify all connections to wiring diagram in manual. Verify connections underneath pilot  
assembly are tight. Verify connections are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot  
burner, pilot enclosure or screen if present, or any other metal object.  
connection in sensor rod.  
Poor flame rectification or  
contaminated sensor rod.  
Verify flame is engulfing sensor rod. If the pilot assembly does not have a ground  
strap, consider installing one to increase flame rectification. Verify correct pilot orifice  
is installed and inlet gas specifications are met. Flame carries rectification current, not  
the gas. If flame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit is broken. A wrong orifice or too high  
an inlet pressure can cause pilot flame to lift. The sensor rod may be contaminated.  
Clean sensor rod with emery cloth.  
C.  
D.  
Module is not grounded.  
Verify that module is securely grounded to metal chassis of appliance. Verify that the  
wire harness is firmly connected to module.  
Damaged pilot assembly  
or dirty sensor rod.  
Verify that ceramic insulator around the sensor rod is not cracked, damaged, or loose.  
Verify connection from sensor rod to white sensor wire. Clean sensor rod with emery  
cloth to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on sensor rod. Verify  
continuity with a multimeter with ohms set at lowest range.  
E.  
Faulty module.  
Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove ignitor wire “I”  
from module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. Hold ground  
wire about 3/16 in. away from “I” terminal on module. If there is no spark at “I”  
terminal, module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is fine.  
Inspect pilot assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator around electrode.  
4.  
Pilot sparks, but pilot will  
not light.  
A.  
Correct gas supply.  
Verify that incoming gas line ball valve is “open”. Verify that inlet pressure reading is  
within acceptable limits, inlet pressure must not exceed 14 in. w.c.  
B.  
C.  
D.  
Ignitor gap is too large.  
Module is not grounded.  
Verify that spark gap from ignitor to pilot hood is .17 in. or 1/8 in.  
Verify module is securely grounded to metal chassis of appliance.  
Replace module.  
Module voltage output/  
valve/pilot solenoid ohms

C. Warranty  
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.  
20802 Kensington Blvd.  
Lakeville, MN 55044  
WARRANTY FOR HEAT-N-GLO FIREPLACES  
The limited warranty will not become effective until you have mailed the completed warranty card to:  
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc., A DIVISION OF HNI  
20802 Kensington Blvd., Lakeville, MN 55044.  
This card must be mailed within 60 days of the fireplace installation.  
Subject to the conditions set forth herein, HEARTH & HOME TECHNOLOGIES INC. (HHT) extends the following  
limited warranty with respect to your Heat-N-Glo fireplace, excluding accessories, chimney components and  
glass doors.  
If HHT is satisfied that any part or portion of the fireplace covered by this warranty is defective in material  
or workmanship under normal use and service as described in the operating instructions, HHT will take the  
following actions:  
1.  
Within the first five (5) years from the date of installation, HHT shall, at its option, replace or repair any such  
defect in material or workmanship, at HHT’s expense. HHT SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY  
OTHER LABOR COSTS, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL  
DAMAGES.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
During the sixth (6th) through the (10th) years after the date of installation, HHT shall supply replacement  
parts or parts at no charge, but SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LABOR, TRANSPORTATION,  
OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES.  
During the eleventh (11th) through the fifteenth (15th) years after date of installation, HHT will send to you,  
FOB its factory, replacement parts (if available) at the current minimum wholesale price, but HHT SHALL  
NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LABOR, TRANSPORTATION OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES.  
During the first six (6) months after installation, HHT shall, at its option, replace or repair the glass doors  
and any electrical components, if operation is faulty. (This does not include glass panels broken during  
shipment, misuse or careless handling.) After the first six (6) months, HHT will sell to you, FOB its factory,

DOORS ARE USED ALL WARRANTY AND LIABILITY ON THE FIREPLACE IS VOIDED.  
HHT may discharge its entire warranty liability by refunding the price of the product.  
Products made by other manufacturers, sold with the fireplace or thereafter are not covered by this limited  
warranty.  
This limited warranty will be void if the fireplace is not installed according to the installation instructions. The  
limited warranty also is void if the fireplace is not operated, at all times, according to the operating instructions  
furnished. The limited warranty will also be void if the fireplace is removed from the place originally installed.  
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY  
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL APPLY TO THE  
FIREPLACE AFTER THE ABOVE LIMITED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.  
In states that do not allow limitations on how long implied warranty lasts, or do not allow exclusion of indirect  
damages, those limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have additional rights not covered  
in this limited warranty.  
HHT reserves the right to make changes at anytime, without notice, in design, material, specifications and prices  
and the right to discontinue styles and products.
