FAQ
Superior DRT3545 FAQs
What is required to complete the fireplace?
Choose one compatible decorative facade and one interior liner kit. Both are ordered separately. The installation also requires an approved direct-vent system and appropriate gas and electrical connections.
Is the log set included?
Yes. The high-definition ceramic fiber log set is standard equipment. The interior liner and decorative facade are separate required selections.
What is the difference between the natural-gas and propane models?
The DRT3545DEN-E natural-gas model is rated from 35,000 to 24,000 BTU/hr. The DRT3545DEP-E propane model is rated from 30,000 to 23,000 BTU/hr. Select the version that matches the installation's fuel supply.
Does the DRT3545 need a chimney?
It needs an approved direct-vent system that terminates outdoors, not a conventional wood-burning chimney. The fireplace can be configured for top or rear venting; follow the manufacturer's venting tables and local code.
Are the blower and remote included?
Yes. A six-speed blower and full-function remote are standard. The remote controls flame, lighting, blower, pilot mode, and thermostat functions.
Will it work during a power outage?
The electronic ignition includes battery backup for continued fireplace operation when household power is interrupted. Electrically powered features such as the blower and lighting may not operate on battery backup; consult the operation manual.
Can I place a TV above the fireplace?
TV placement depends on actual wall temperatures, mantel and finish materials, and the TV manufacturer's limits. Have your installer review the fireplace clearances and the TV instructions before planning a media wall.
Who should install the fireplace?
Installation and service should be performed by a qualified gas-appliance professional following the Superior installation manual and applicable local codes.
