About the Power Vent
A power vent is required where the termination is located too far away from the
gas fireplace and/or
if the vent run is beyond the scope of this document, or the
specifications recommend vent augmentation. There are four 4/7 power vent models
available. These power vents offer superior venting, safe operation and years of
trouble free operation.
The available European Home power vent models are:
LDVPV47 (Linear, interior in-line power vent)
EDVPV47 (External power vent module)
EDVRSPV47 (Exterior
vertical
roof mount 4/7 stainless steel power vent system)
EDVWSPV47 (Exterior
horizontal
wall mount 4/7 stainless steel power vent system)
Contact European Home for more information.
WARNING!
When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace, up to 6" (
as shown,
Figures 24 and 25
) with a non-combustible material. Please note that the
decorative facing materials may be subject to temperatures in excess of 250° F.
This should be considered when selecting facing materials.
Fireplace Facing
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to remember
that
THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY.
Doing so restricts
the air supply for the control compartments and heat exchanger as well as prevents
access for servicing controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor provided you use
a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not extend past the fireplace opening
at all because it will interfere with the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and moldings may be safely installed over the top and on the
front of the fireplace provided that they do not project beyond shaded area shown in
Figure 24
. Side wall clearances are 3". Combustible surrounds may be installed with
3" clearance to the side of the fireplace as shown in
Figure 25
.

WARNING!
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated
mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product design, for example:
candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation, discoloration
or premature failure of T.V. and radio components.
