This installation manual will help you obtain
a safe, effi cient, dependable installation for
your appliance and vent system.
Please read and understand these
instructions before beginning your
installation.
The Millivolt appliances have a millivolt
gas control valve with piezo ignition system
which provides safe, effi cient operation. If any
optional accessories that will require electrical
power are to be installed, the electrical power
must be provided at the time of appliance
installation.

service and proper operation. Never obstruct
the front openings of the appliance.
These appliances are designed to operate
on natural or propane gas only. To operate
on Propane Gas a fi eld converion is neces-
sary (see Pages 35 to 37). The use of other
fuels or combination of fuels will degrade
the performance of this system and may be
dangerous.
These fi replaces are designed as supplemen-
tal heaters. Therefore, it is advisable to have
an alternate heat source when installed in a
dwelling.
Millivolt Models - The millivolt appliances are
manually controlled and feature a spark igniter
(piezo) that allows the appliance's pilot gas to
be lit without the use of matches or batteries.
This system provides continued service in the
event of a power outage.
Millivolt models come standard with a manu-
ally-modulated gas valve; fl ame appearance and
heat output can be controlled at the gas valve.
The BTU Input for these appliances is shown
in Tables 1 & 2.
