Installation & Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or
cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace
heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor
the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least ten
(10) hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been
installed, place fan in the "OFF" position during this time.

Before installing the gas fireplace insert, consideration must
be given to the functioning needs of the fireplace. The size
of the fireplace cavity (min. 25¹⁄₄"W x 17¹⁄₂"H x 13¹⁄₂" D (641 x
438 x 343 mm) for the LHECDV20 and LHERDV20, 28³⁄₄"W
x 21"H x 15¹⁄₂"D (730 x 533 x 394 mm) for LHECDV30 and
LHERDV30), the design of the chimney for effective venting
should be determined. The availability of the gas supply as well
as electricity for the insert fan must be confirmed.
Your Direct Vent Insert unit is designed to be
vented vertically with a minimum height of
12' (4 m).
