GENERAL INFORMATION
Qualied Installing Agency
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization equipment
or accessories and repair and servicing of equipment shall be per-
formed only by a qualied agency. The term "qualied agency" means
any individual, rm, corporation or company which either in person
or through a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a)
the installation or replacement of gas piping or (b) the connection,
installation, repair or servicing of equipment, who is experienced in
such work, familiar with all precautions required and has complied
with all the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts: The installation must be
made by a licensed plumber or gas tter in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.
The installation and the provisions for combustion and ventilation
air must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA54* Canadian Installation Code CAN/CGA B149.
*Available from the American National Standards Institute, Inc. 11
West 42nd St., New York, N.Y. 10018.
FIREPLACE PREPARATION
• Turn off gas supply to replace or rebox.
• Have the replace oor and chimney professionally cleaned to
remove ashes, soot, creosote or other obstructions.
Have this cleaning performed annually after installation.
• Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on oor
or wall of replace. If not, drafting may cause pilot
outage or sooting. Use a heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal
chimney ue damper.
High Altitude Installation
When installing this unit at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the
United States) it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orice to a smaller size. Generally,
input should be reduced 4 percent for each 1000 feet above sea
level. However, if the heating value of the gas has been reduced,
this general rule may not apply. Check with local gas utility for proper
orice size identication.
For Canadian high altitude applications, this appliance is suitable for
installation at elevations between 0 feet (0m) and 4,500 (1,370m)
without change.
When installing this unit at an elevation above 4500 feet (1,370m)
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper
orice for location.
Installing Damper Clamp (Figure 2)
Remove all ashes or other debris from the replace. If the replace
is equipped with an ash dump be sure to seal the door with furnace
cement or high temperature silicone. Be sure to check the damper
for proper operation and verify that the ue passageway is open.
Attach damper clamp to the vent damper and tighten hold down bolt.
Place the clamp over the lip of the damper and tighten the hold
down bolt until the clamp is securely attached to the damper. This
will prevent the damper from accidentally closing.

BEFORE FULLY INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
You must secure the gas burner to the replace oor. If not, the
entire unit may move when you adjust the controls. Movement
of unit may cause shifting of the gas logs which leads to sooting
and improper burning. Grate movement could cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a
sunken replace. You must raise the replace oor to allow
access to gas log controls. This will insure adequate air ow
and guard against sooting. Raise the replace oor using
noncombustible materials.
Assembly Procedure:
1. Center the appliance in the fireplace or firebox. Make
certain the front feet of the grate sit inside the front edge of the
replace or rebox.
2. An anchor hole is provided in the two bottom side members of
the grate frame. After centering the grate correctly, mark the
hole positions on the replace/rebox oor. Drill two (2) 5/32"
diameter holes approximately 1-1/2" deep for masonry screws
or 1/8" hole for sheet metal screws.
3. Anchor the grate to the replace/rebox oor using the screws
provided. Refer to Figure 13.
Proper installation of the grate is essential to prevent any
movement of the gas logs and controls during operation.
