DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may
lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon mon-
oxide poisoning resemble the u, with headaches, dizziness
or nausea. If you have these signs, the replace may not be
working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have replace ser-
viced. 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 inuence
of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP
agent is added to these gases. 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 replace.
WARNING: Any change to this appliance
gases are odorless. An odor-making
or its controls can be dangerous.
Solid fuels shall not be burned in a replace
where a decorative appliance is installed.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should
be located out of trafc and away from furniture
and draperies.
Do not place clothing or other ammable material on or near the appliance. Never place any
objects on the appliance.
Appliance base assembly becomes very hot
when running appliance. Keep children and
adults away from hot surface to avoid burns
or clothing ignition. Appliance will remain hot
for a time after shutdown. Allow surface to cool
before touching.
Carefully supervise young children when they
are in the room with appliance. When using
the hand-held remote accessory, keep selector
switch in the OFF position to prevent children
from turning on burners with remote.

solid fuels in this appliance.
10.Do not run appliance
• where ammable liquids or vapors are used or stored
• under dusty conditions
11.Do not use this appliance to cook food or burn paper or
other objects.
12.Do not use this appliance if any part has been exposed to
or under water. Immediately call a qualied service tech-
nician to inspect the room appliance and to replace any
part of the control system and any gas control which has
been under water.
13.Do not operate appliance if any log is broken.
14.Turn appliance off and let cool before servicing, installing
or repairing. Only a qualied service person should install,
service or repair appliance.
15.This appliances must not be connected to any external
electrical source.
16.Operating appliance above elevations of 4,500 feet may

If minimum clearances in Figure 4, are not met, you must have
a hood. When using a hood there are still certain minimum
mantel clearances required. Follow minimum clearances
shown in Figure 5, when using hood.
FLOOR CLEARANCES
A. If installing appliance on the oor level, you must maintain
the minimum distance of 14" to combustibles (see Figure
6).
B. If combustible materials are less than 14" to the replace,
you must install appliance at least 5" above the combustible
ooring (see Figure 7).

NOTICE: Surface temperatures of adjacent
walls and mantels become hot during operation. Walls and mantels above the rebox may
become hot to the touch. If installed properly,
these temperatures meet the requirement of the
national product standard. Follow all minimum
clearances shown in this manual.
NOTICE: If your installation does not meet the

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR
VENTED OPERATION
Note: When used as a vented indoor appliance, appliance
must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning replace with a
working ue and constructed of noncombustible material.
For Massachusetts Residents Only: Installation of this gas
log set as a vented indoor appliance in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts requires the damper be permanently removed
or welded in the fully open position.
You must install the damper clamp accessory (to order, see
Accessories, page 21). This will insure vented operation (see
Figure 8). The damper clamp will keep damper open. Installation instructions are included with clamp accessory.
See chart below for minimum permanent ue opening you
must provide. Attach damper clamp so the minimum permanent ue opening will be maintained at all times.

optional equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external
regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas
pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming
gas pressure, appliance regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in
Figure 11. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing
rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or
steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing
may be used in certain areas. Check your
local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or
greater to allow proper gas volume to appliance. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume
will occur.
WARNING: This appliance requires a 1/2"
NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection
to the pressure regulator.
WARNING: A qualied service person must
connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP replace directly to the propane/LP supply. This
appliance requires an external regulator (not
supplied). Install the external regulator between the appliance and propane/LP supply.
WARNING: Never connect natural gas replace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This
gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing appliance, make sure you have the items
listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by
local codes) (not provided)
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union
and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for
test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from appliance (see Figure 12, page 9).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible
location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for
locating equipment shutoff valve to replaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will
prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant
in pipe could result in clogged appliance valves.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is
resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply
line as shown in Figure 12. Locate sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel
supply and appliance. Locate sediment trap where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture
and contaminants. This keeps them from going into appliance
controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong,
appliance may not run properly.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to gas control.
Hold gas control with wrench when connect-
ing it to gas piping and/or ttings.
CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff
valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening
main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural
gas or using compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect appliance and equipment shutoff valve to gas
supply. Check reconnected ttings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 13).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening
main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural
gas or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equipment shutoff valve
for natural gas or propane/LP supply to equipment shutoff
valve for propane/LP (see Figure 14 or Figure 15, page
10). Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid to all joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.

detection uid to all joints. Bubbles forming
show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
CAUTION: Make sure external regulator has
been installed between propane/LP supply and
appliance. See guidelines under Connecting
to Gas Supply, page 8.
PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance main gas valve
