I N S T A L L E R N O T E S
The installer must mechanically attach a marking (supplied in the manual bag) to the inside of the firebox of the
fireplace into which the gas fireplace insert is installed indicating that it has been altered and is no longer suitable for burning the original fuel unless the removed parts are reinstalled
Cutting of any sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is prohibited
unless following the directions below.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole (s) provided, an access hole of 1 1/2” (38.1 mm) or less
may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship-like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.
The fireplace flue damper (A) must be fully blocked open or removed for installation of the gas fireplace insert.
The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be clean and in good working order and constructed of noncombustible materials. The chimney cleanouts must fit properly.
Refractory (G & I), glass doors (F), screen rails & screen mesh (E) and log grates (B) can be removed from the
fireplace before installing the gas fireplace insert.
Smoke shelves (C) and baffles (D) may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners. Trim panels must not
seal ventilation openings in the fireplace.
N O T E
The metal floor of the firebox may be removed only if the following is
strictly adhered to.
The metal floor (J) may be removed to allow additional room for installation of the insert. If
the floor is removed the insert must be placed directly on the metal base of the metal fireplace. Under no circumstance can it be placed directly on a combustible material.
A T T E N T I O N
Any parts that are removed must be saved and re-installed if the insert is ever removed.

Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts specifically approved
with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
W A R N I N G
Any hearth extending out in front of the insert must not
have any portion above 7” below the bottom of the unit
made from combustible materials. This includes any
type of framing underneath a non-combustible material
such as tile, marble or stone. Any material below 7” can
be combustible.

GAS CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have
purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the
certification label and also on the appliance’s gas valve.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections must be provided. All
gas connections must be checked for gas leaks.
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the fireplace. The line must
be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Immediately upstream of the supply
connection, the fitter shall provide an accessible manual shut-off valve. When connecting the supply
line to the gas valve, the installer shall brace the gas valve to ensure that the gas valve is not moved
from its bracket. If the valve is not braced when the supply line is connected, the valve may be
moved and cause a “break” in the main burner supply line. Such damage is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
C A U T I O N
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure-testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure-testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do so will damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such damage
is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Natural Gas Pressure Settings:
The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 5” W.C. (1.2 kPa) and a maximum of 14”
W.C. (3.5 kPa). The orifice is a #43 DMS (2.25mm) drill size.
ELEVATION INPUT RATING
0-4500 ft (0-1372 M) 22,400 BTU/hr (9.6 kW)
4500 ft (1372 M) and above. 22,400 BTU/hr (9.6 kW) less 4% per 1000 ft. (305 M)
Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require.
Propane Pressure Settings:
The inlet supply or line pressure must be a minimum of 11” W.C. (2.8 kPa) and a maximum of 14”
W.C. (3.5 kPa). The orifice is a #54 DMS (1.36 mm) drill size.
ELEVATION INPUT RATING
0-4500 ft. (0-1372 M) 21,000 BTU/hr (9.02 kW)
4500 ft. (1372 M) and above. 21,000 BTU/hr (9.02 kW) less 4% per 1000 ft. (305 M)
Please contact your local distributor for the appropriate orifice size you require.
I N S T A L L E R S N O T E
THE INPUT RATING SHOULD BE CHECKED ON INITIAL START-UP OF THIS APPLIANCE.
To do this, reduce the background flow rate, time the meter.
Light the fireplace and take another reading after 15 minutes of operation.
Check with your gas supplier for the gas BTU content at your elevation.
Input is the rate of flow multiplied by the heating value of the gas (3600 x Calorific Value) divided by
the time (in seconds) it takes for (1) rotation of the 1 cubic foot dial on the meter.
Adjust the manifold pressure so that the unit does not operate above the rated input.

CONVERSION KIT INSTRUCTIONS
W A R N I N G
The conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and all applicable
codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, explo-
sion or productions of carbon monoxide may result, causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service
agency is responsible for proper installation of this kit.
The installation is not proper and complete until operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the instructions supplied with the kit. Refer to appliance owner’s manual or product data plate for proper inlet and manifold pressure adjustments and orifice sizing.

CONVERT THE GAS VALVE
COMPLETE THE CONVERSION
Turn on the gas and electrical supplies.
Turn on the fireplace so the burner is on
Check for leaks at all connections.
Test inlet and outlet pressure. Visually check pilot flame. Flame should envelope top of the flame sensor and extend forward onto the
burner. To adjust pilot turn the pilot adjustment screw on the control valve clockwise to decrease or counter clockwise to increase pilot
flame.
Turn fireplace off
Affix gas type label to the rating plate label. (Bottom right side, under the door frame of insert on pull chain)
Complete the conversion label and affix to valve assembly plate.
Re-install the burner, brick, logs, embers and door. (per the instructions starting on pg. 19)
