The Tahoe Deluxe 36" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace from Empire
The Tahoe Deluxe is available in (4) Sizes:
Deluxe models feature a Contour tube-style burner, designed to complement the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set, and produce a natural dancing flame.
Choose a conventional Deluxe Tahoe model – with louvers and available trim kits. The Deluxe model features large heat resistant, tempered glass windows that provide an unobstructed view to the log set. Optional liner offerings available are Aged Brick, Herringbone, Stacked Limestone, and Black Reflective.
DVD models require just 16 inches of depth and use 4 x 6-5/8 venting, making it ideal for applications where wall-cavity space is tight. Conventional Deluxe fireplaces may be installed in the wall or in a cabinet or corner mantel. Tile or other non-combustible material may be used to conceal the outer edge of the fireplace to provide a true built-in appearance.
The Deluxe model is offered in Millivolt and Intermittent Pilot.

Warranty
In the unlikely event your product experiences a defect, our technical team will guide you through the manufacturer’s warranty process. Here is a general outline of what to expect:
Due to the technical nature of our products, troubleshooting is required by the manufacturer to process a warranty claim. Your installer will need to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem on-site while working in tandem with our technical team. If troubleshooting leads to what Woodland Direct deems as a defective part, we will submit a warranty claim to the manufacturer on your behalf. Before we submit the claim, we will ask you to review the terms to proceed.
Once the claim is submitted, the manufacturer will review and approve or deny the claim. If they have all the information and accept the claim, your warranty replacement part(s) will begin processing for shipment. If for any reason, the claim is denied, or we need more information, we will notify you as soon as possible.
All warranties are processed as exchanges. You can expect to receive a pre-paid return label for the defective part(s), which will need to be returned within 30 days of receiving the warranty replacement(s).
Warranty claims can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks to process, depending on the season. Due to the length of time claims can extend, we recommend that you fire up your unit in the late summer/early fall to ensure it’s in good working condition for the winter season.
