Insert Placement

Insert must be placed within a code-conforming masonry fireplace or tested and listed zero-clearance
(metal) fireplace. Fix any fireplace damage prior to installation.

Because the insert uses a circulation blower, clean the fireplace, smoke shelf, and chimney prior to
installation. We recommend painting the interior surface of the fireplace with latex paint to further
eliminate dust.

This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this appliance
produces when determining a location.

The DVL inserts 16" into the

fireplace.

Run the power cord to either

side of the insert along the face.

Min. 38-1/4" - Includes 6" for gas line installation

For tight fits (under 28"), you may remove the manifold. See the

section "Removing the Manifold"

Use the leveling bolts for

fireplaces with recessed floors.

Min. 23-3/4"

Run the on/off switch wires to the

right, behind the surround panels.

The gas line and shutoff

valve should be installed

prior to insert placement.

Attach the "This fireplace has been altered..." plate

to the fireplace (use two screws or other suitable

method). You may wish to place it in a location

where it will be covered by the surround panels.

Zero-Clearance (Metal) Fireplace Requirements:

The damper ("

Hearth Requirements

The heater must be installed on a non-combustible hearth extending a minimum 12" from the fireplace

face (see page 9 for face sizing).
