For optional full media coverage, the manual recommends 4 to 5 kits of approved DG1BUC, DG1BKP or DG1CLF glass. These coverage quantities do not make decorative glass a mandatory burner component.

Canadian installations must use the manual-authorized vented configuration. This model exceeds 10,000 BTU\/h and must not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.
