IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

This ﬁreplace is a vented product. This ﬁreplace must

be properly installed by a qualiﬁed service person. The

glass door must be properly seated and sealed. If this

unit is not properly installed by a qualiﬁed service person

with glass door properly seated and sealed, combustion

leakage can occur.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of

carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the ﬂu with

headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these

signs, the ﬁreplace may not have been installed properly.

Get fresh air at once! Have the ﬁreplace inspected and

serviced by a qualiﬁed service person. Some people

are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.

These include pregnant women, people with heart or

lung disease or anemia, those under the inﬂuence of

alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An

odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The

odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor

added to these gases can fade. Gas may be present

even though no odor exists.

ILDV30/ILDV20 Fireplace Insert GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

WARNING

The dimensions shown on Pages 9 and 10, Figures 3 and 4, are minimum

clearances to maintain when installing this heater. Follow these instructions

carefully to ensure safe installation. Failure to follow instructions exactly can

create a ﬁre hazard.

The following factors should be taken into consideration:

•This insert should have sufﬁcient access for its safe operation and maintenance.

•The ﬂow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

•Minimum clearances to combustibles, such as mantels, must be maintained.

Refer to Pages 9 and 10, Figures 3 and 4.

•Never obstruct the front opening of the insert.

•Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other ﬂammable liquids may be

stored.

•These units can be installed in a bedroom. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code

ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 (current edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code (current

edition), and Local Building Codes for speciﬁc installation requirements.

IMPORTANT: Your direct vent insert was designed to be installed in an exist-

ing wood burning ﬁreplace. The location and clearances are subject to local

building codes.

INSERT APPLICATIONS

Before installing the gas ﬁreplace insert, consider the functioning needs of the

ﬁreplace. Conﬁrm the size of the ﬁreplace cavity, the design of the chimney, and the

availability of the gas supply and electricity for the insert fan.

IMPORTANT: Your direct vent insert is designed to be only vented vertically

with a minimum height of 10 feet.

When the unit is installed into a wood burning ﬁreplace, the minimum distance the

mantel can be placed above the ﬁreplace is governed by local building codes appli-

cable to wood burning ﬁreplaces. Consult local authorities having jurisdiction for

these clearances. The underside of the mantel will become warm. Use only ﬁnishes

which are heat resistant and do not discolor.

place damage prior to installation.

• Because the insert uses a circulation blower, clean the ﬁreplace, smoke shelf

and chimney before installing.
