Required and optional selections
A model-compatible decorative barrier front is required and ordered separately. Operate only with the glass assembly and barrier correctly installed. The log set is included; optional interior panels and heat-management equipment are additional choices. The touchscreen remote, fan and LED lighting are included; Wi-Fi control remains optional.
Installation and ownership
This is supplemental room heat, not a primary whole-home heating system. Plan the vent route, approved termination, gas connection, electrical supply and required barrier before ordering. Minimum side and rear clearance is 1/2 inch; keep 36 inches clear in front. Mantel, ceiling, finishing-material and optional heat-management clearances depend on the exact installation; use the manual diagrams. Installation and service must follow manufacturer documentation and applicable codes.
Hearth & Home Technologies provides a component-specific limited warranty subject to its conditions, exclusions and coverage periods. Review the current owner manual warranty rather than assuming every component has lifetime coverage.
