INTRODUCTION

Models GL36PN/P and GL36PNE/P are decora-

tive gas appliances that use a millivolt gas control

and piezo pilot or an electronic gas control valve

with an electronic ignition system respectively.

These systems require a 6", B-type venting system

for operation.
The 6" B-type vent is not supplied by DESA.

For installation guidelines, check your B-vent

instructions.

Models GL36PN and GL36PNE are smooth face

units for natural gas only. The GL36PNP and

gas only. To determine which type of gas your unit

is approved and tested for, check the rating plate on

the lift-out plate located inside the firebox under

the access panel.
