SAFETY
INFORMATION
WARNINGS
WARNING ICON G 001
WARNING: Keep flue open
when operating unit.
IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s
manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble, operate, or service this log set. Improper use of this log set can cause
serious injury or death from burns,
fire, explosion, electrical shock,
and carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If
you have these signs, the log set may not be
working properly. Get fresh air at once!
Have log set serviced. Some people are
more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant women,
people with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the influence of alcohol, and
those at high altitudes.
Natural Gas: Natural gas is odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to the gas. The
odor helps you detect a gas leak. However,
the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may
be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all
warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It
is your guide to safe and proper operation of
this log set.

AIR FOR
COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
WARNING: This appliance
shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight
construction unless provisions
are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read
the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and
other fuel-burning appliances in
your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased
insulation, and new construction methods
help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners
weather strip and caulk around windows and
doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air
in. During heating months, home owners
want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning
appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and
fuel burning appliances draw air from the
house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This
will insure proper venting of vented fuelburning appliances.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not remove
the metal data plates attached
to the burner pan. The data plates
contain important warranty information.
WARNING: Before installing
in a solid fuel burning fireplace,
the chimney flue and firebox must
be cleaned of soot, creosote,
ashes, and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote
will ignite if highly heated. A dirty
chimney flue may create and distribute soot within the house. Inspect chimney flue for damage.
NOTICE: Installation, service, and
repair of this appliance must be
performed by a qualified installer,
service agency, company or gas
supplier experienced with this
type of gas appliance. Only factory authorized components listed
in these instructions may be used
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and
all codes and requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. Any
modifications to this kit, or use of
unauthorized components or accessory items will void the
manufacturer’s warranty, and may
result in a hazardous condition.
FLUE OPENING
SPECIFICATIONS
Note:
This vented appliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning fireplace
with a working flue and constructed of noncombustible material.
The charts in Figure 2, page 5, indicate
technical information regarding the installation of your gas log set. Please make sure
that all of the specifications shown are applicable before installation is attempted.
The fireplace must include a working flue
and venting system with the minimum openings shown in the Figure 2, page 5.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not
natural gas, you must install ON/OFF Safety
Valve/Pilot Kit (see Accessories, page 11).
Call dealer where you bought log set.
If the fireplace does not have a gas supply
shutoff valve, one must be installed.
VENTING SPECIFICATIONS
FOR INSTALLATION
The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be
drafting properly. To check the vent for
proper drafting: Light a tightly rolled newspaper on one end and place it at the inside
front edge of the fireplace. Observe the
smoke and be sure the vent is properly
drawing it up the chimney. If the smoke
spills out into the room, extinguish the flame
and remove any obstruction until proper
venting is achieved.
The chimney flue must remain open a minimum of 3" at all times during the operation
of this log set.
