INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS • DIRECT-VENT GAS FIREPLACES (DRT6300/DRC6300) • INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The DRT/DRC6300 Series direct-vent, sealed-
combustion gas fireplaces operate on natural
or propane gas. These appliances feature a
remotely controlled electronic intermittent pilot
ignition system (manual adjustment of the gas
valve settings is not possible).
The DRT/DRC6300 Series is a decorative fire-
place and may not be installed and operated as
the primary heat source in a dwelling.
Electrical power (120 VAC line voltage) is rec-
ommended to operate the fireplace; however,
four (4) "AA" batteries can be used for full-time
operation or as a backup in case of a power
outage.

These fireplaces are designed, tested, and
listed for operation and installation with Secure

PROVED VENT COMPONENTS. Do NOT use
any other manufacturer’s vent components
with these appliances.
