THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL.
Installation and repair should be
PERFORMED by a
qualified service person. The appliance and venting
system should be
INSPECTED before initial use and at
least annually by a professional service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding, etc. It is
IMPERATIVE that
the unit’s control compartment, burners, and circulating
air passageways
BE KEPT CLEAN to provide for
adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Always
KEEP the appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
NEVER OBSTRUCT the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance
CLEAR
of all obstacles and materials for servicing and proper
operation.
Due to the high temperature, the appliance should
be
LOCATED out of traffic areas and away from
furniture and draperies. Clothing or flammable material
SHOULD NOT BE PLACED on or near the appliance.
This unit MUST be used with a vent system as
described in this installation manual.
NO OTHER vent
system or component
MAY BE USED.
This gas fireplace and vent assembly
MUST be vented
directly to the outside and
MUST NEVER be attached
to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance. Each gas appliance
MUST USE a separate
vent system. Common vent systems are
PROHIBITED.
INSPECT the external vent cap on a regular basis to
make sure that no debris is interfering with the air flow.
The glass door assembly
MUST be in place and sealed
before the unit can be placed into safe operation.
DO NOT OPERATE this appliance with the glass door
removed, cracked, or broken. Replacement of the glass
door should be performed by a licensed or qualified
service person.

The glass door assembly
SHALL ONLY be replaced
as a complete unit, as supplied by the fireplace
manufacturer.
NO SUBSTITUTE material may be used.
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners on the glass door
assembly.

TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE servicing this
appliance. It is recommended that a qualified service
technician perform an appliance check-up at the
beginning of each heating season.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
MUST BE REPLACED before operating this appliance.
HOT SURFACES. Be aware that, although safe, some combustible materials and finishes, even though installed at
listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1200DV requires the installation of the cement
board provided with the engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the wall surface if not impeded. Protruding mantels and projections
can help direct the heat away from the wall. AVOID PLACING heat sensitive items such as televisions, paintings,
decorations, etc. above fireplaces or near the edge of protrusions unless appropriate.
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the hearth in front of the fireplace to temperatures that, although approved
safe, can be quite uncomfortable to touch or step on—particularly for children and pets. Accessory screens and
guards will reduce the radiant heat on these surfaces.
