SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP GAS

Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause fires and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless.Youmaynotknowallthefollowingsafetyprecautions which can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point

by point with the members of your household. Someday when there may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following information, you feel you still need more information, please contact your gas supplier.

LP-GAS WARNING ODOR

If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas. That’s your signal to go into immediate action!

Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.

Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do that IMMEDIATELY.

Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.

LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until firefighters declare them to be safe.

Useyourneighbor’sphoneandcallatrainedLP-Gasservice person and the fire department. Even though you may not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.

Finally,lettheservicemanandfirefighterscheckforescaped gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then check and relight the gas appliance for you.

NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE

Somepeoplecannotsmellwell.Somepeoplecannotsmellthe odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must find out if you can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a gas odor can make it easier to smell.

TheodorantinLP-gasiscolorless,anditcanfadeundersome circumstances.Forexample,ifthereisanundergroundleak,the movementofthegasthroughsoilcanfiltertheodorant.Odorants inLP-Gasalsoaresubjecttooxidation.Thisfadingcanoccurif

there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.

The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.

LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as instructed earlier.

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER

LearntorecognizetheodorofLP-gas.Your local LP-Gas Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use it to find out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas Dealer.

If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If you are qualified, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or making adjustments.

Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.

Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or reinstalled old tanks, if they are filled and allowed

to set too long before refilling. Cylinders and tanks which havebeenoutofserviceforatimemaydevelopinternalrust which will cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any question about the gas odor, call your LP-gas dealer.Aperiodic sniff test of the LP-gas is a good safety measure under any condition.

If,atanytime,youdonotsmelltheLP-Gasodorantandyou thinkyoushould,assumeyouhavealeak.Thentakethesame immediateactionrecommendedabovefortheoccasionwhen you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.

If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is undernovaporpressure),turnthetankvalveoffimmediately. If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air through openings such as pilot light orifices. If this occurs,somenewinternalrustingcouldoccur.Ifthevalveis left open, then treat the container as a new tank.Always be sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container before it goes completely empty or having it refilled before it is completely empty.

Installing a New Main Gas Cock

Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.

In the state of Massachusetts the gas cock must be a T handle type.

A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.

Compoundsusedonthreadedjointsofgaspipingshallberesistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. The gas lines must be checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if unexposed, a pressure test should be made.

Neveruse an exposed flame to check forleaks.Appliance must be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!

NOTE: The millivolt gas controls are equipped with a captured screwtypepressuretestpoint,thereforeitisnotnecessarytoprovide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

Converting flue take-off to rear venting

When switching out the flue and inlet vent collars to run horizontally off the rear vent, the following steps must be taken.

1.Remove the inlet vent collar (8 screws) and flue collar (4 screws) from the top of the fireplace, and set to the side.

2.Remove the inlet cover plate and flue cover plate located on the back of the fireplace. These will be used to close the top flue and inlet openings.

3.Insert the insulation retainer bracket and insulation into the top flue pipe before reinstalling the flue cover plate over the

top flue with 4 screws.

4.Reinstall the inlet cover plate over the top inlet opening with 4 screws. See illustration above..

5.Install the flue collar assembly to the rear flue with 4 screws.

6.Install the inlet vent collar to the rear of the fireplace with 8 screws.

Attention: If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The vertical dimension in Figure 11 must be adjusted when a metal or wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.

Finishing (Figures 12 and 13)

Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 3 on page7 showstheminimumverticalandcorrespondingmaximum horizontaldimensionsofmantelsorothercombustibleprojections above the top front edge of the fireplace.

Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black fireplace front.

Warning: When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber.

Caution: If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed. Only non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum adhesive if needed), can be applied as facing to the fireplace surround.

VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP

To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 19)

1.Determinethe heightof thecenterof thehorizontalvent pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, locate the point it intersects with the slanted graph line.

2.From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.

3.Select the indicated dimension, and position the unit in accordance with same.

EXAMPLEA:

If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 35 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 6.5 feet.

EXAMPLE B:

If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 6.5 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 14.5 feet.

SPECIAL NOTE: For each 45 degree elbow installed in thehorizontalrun,thelengthofthehorizontalrunMUSTbe reducedby18"(45cm).Thisdoesnotapplyifthe45degree elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system. Reduce 3' for every 90° elbow.

Example:According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.

The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per sidewallinstallationistwo(2).Theseelbowscanbeinstalled in either the vertical or horizontal run.

Note: On vertical venting the first elbow does not get counted.
