D. Wall and Mantel Temperatures
ANSI/CSA Standards The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) write the safety and performance standards to which all gas fireplaces are tested. The following are the allowable temperatures around and on a gas fireplace per the ANSI/CSA standards:
Combustible Mantel and Surfaces around a Fireplace The allowable temperature rise above ambient is 117°F for all exposed combustible surfaces around the fireplace, including the mantel, when installed according to the installation instructions. Non-combustible surfaces and mantels do not have a maximum temperature limit; however the installation instructions must still be followed for any restrictions on placement of non-combustible materials on or around the fireplace.
Example: The mantel above a fireplace in a room that is 70°F is allowed to reach but not exceed 187°F (70°F+117°F = 187°F).

These are good faith recommended clearances only and not a guarantee of compliance with all TV manufacturers’ maximum allowable operating temperatures. Since every home has unique air flow characteristics and maximum allowable operating temperatures can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and from model to model, actual TV temperatures should be validated at the time of each installation. TVs should not be used in situations where the actual TV temperature exceeds the manufacturers’ maximum allowable operating temperatures identified in the TV’s technical specifications. Contact the TV’s manufacturer directly if you cannot locate this information or have questions regarding the information. Mantel height and depth must conform to mantle requirements specified in the appliance installation manual.

5 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting
A. Frequently Asked Questions – Appliance

ISSUE

SOLUTIONS

Condensation on the glass

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. Prior to appliance being turned on, the inside of the glass has cooled below the dew point producing a byproduct of combustion: water in the form of condensation. As the fireplace glass warms, the condensation will disappear.
In the summer, the inside of your fireplace contains hot humid air from outdoors. When the air from outdoors contacts glass cooled below the dew point by your air conditioning, moisture in that air will condense.

Blue flames

This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

Erratic flames

Verify that the glass assembly is correctly installed and that all glass latches are engaged over the tabs on the glass frame. Vent baffle/flue restrictor may be needed when long vertical vent runs are used. Refer to Installation Manual, Section 4 Vent Diagrams.

Odor from fireplace

When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from finishing materials and adhesives used around the fireplace. These circumstances may require additional curing related to the installation environment.

Film on the glass

This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas fireplace glass cleaner may be necessary. Contact your dealer.

Metallic noise
Is it normal to see the pilot flame burn continually?

Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the fireplace.
In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot flame should turn off when appliance is turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot flame to remain lit.

Power Outages (battery backup)

This appliance can be operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access the battery pack, the decorative barrier front, mesh and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to Section 3 for more details.

Wall above appliance feels hot to the touch.

No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Specifications of the attached non-combustible material are listed in the Installer’s Manual for this appliance.

Contact your dealer for additional information regarding operation and troubleshooting. Visit www.heatnglo.com to locate a dealer.
