For safety, always ensure that the power source and gas supply are turned off before performing any maintenance or installation work.

Installation and Initial Setup

Proper installation is paramount for safety and performance. If you're unsure about any part of the process, we strongly recommend hiring a professional.

First, ensure your fireplace is placed in a suitable location, following the manufacturer's guidelines. It's crucial to maintain adequate ventilation, as specified in your user manual. Once positioned, secure the fireplace to the wall or base as instructed.

Gas Connection

Connecting your Heat & Glo gas fireplace to the gas supply involves a few crucial steps. Begin by preparing the gas line, ensuring it's several inches longer than needed and remove any burrs. Attach the gas connector hose, securing it with tape or a clamp.

Next, attach the hose to your foyer console. Make sure all connections are tight and secure, then light the first burner as a test. If it ignites smoothly and the flames are steady, you're ready to proceed.

Electrical Wiring

For electric ignition models, you'll need to wire the fireplace to a power source. Before starting, ensure the power is off at the main panel. Follow the wiring diagram provided in your manual, connecting the wires carefully.

Once connected, restore power and test the fireplace. It should light on the first try, indicating a successful connection.

Operating Your Heat & Glo Gas Fireplace

Now that your Heat & Glo gas fireplace is set up, it's time to start enjoying its warmth and ambiance.

To ignite the fireplace, turn the ignition knob to the "pilot" position. Press and hold the ignition button while turning the kneb to the "on" position. Release the button once the fireplace is lit. You can then adjust the heat setting as desired.

Remote Control Operation

For models equipped with a remote control, operating the fireplace is even more convenient. Begin by programming the remote according to the manufacturer's instructions.

With the remote, you can turn the fireplace on and off, adjust heat settings, and even Some models allow for a timer and thermostat operation. Always remember to keep the remote out of reach of children and pets.
