Bottom: 0"
WARNING: DO NOT PLACE UNDER A
CEILING OR OVERHANG.
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
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 re
ring 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 re
ring 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 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 2, page 6. 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.
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 3).
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.

GAS LINE PLANNING
The supply line will need to run vertical through the
heat shield in the center of the re ring up to where
you will connect it to the gas regulator using a 1/2"
ared ex line (not included). There is a 1" hole in
the heat shield for the gas line (See Figure 5).
1" Hole
1/2" Flare
Connector
1. Locate a at even surface to build your re
ring. See Specications page 4 for sizing and
Minimum Clearances page 5 when selecting a
location.
2. Use 8 blocks to build the rst layer (See Figure

you may detect an odor from the appliance as
various paints and compounds used in manu-
facturing of this re ring. This is a normal and
temporary situation that is not cause for alarm.
To ensure proper curing:
• Ignite a 2" ame and maintain it for 1 hour.
• Burn in consecutive 1 hour periods raising
ame an additional 2" to full ame height for
a total of three hours.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off appliance and let cool
before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas,
burners and circulating air passageways of appliance clean. Inspect these areas of appliance
before each use. Have appliance inspected
yearly by a qualied service person.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air
opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result
in sooting and property damage.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT
AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of
air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning
ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, leaves,
lint and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to
each heating season. Blocked air holes will create
soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every
three months during operation and have appliance
inspected yearly by a qualied service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner
tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and
dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using
compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local
computer store, hardware store or home center may
carry compressed air in a can. If using compressed
air in a can, please follow the directions on the can.
If you don’t follow directions on the can, you could
damage the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow unit to cool for
at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes
on injector holder for dust and dirt (see Figure
22).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the
burner.
4. Check injector holder located at end of burner
tube again. Remove any large particles of dust,
dirt, lint or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum
cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector
holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been
pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean pilot assembly also. Additional cleaning may
be needed for proper pilot operation based on use/
lack of use. A yellow tip on the pilot ame may
indicate dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There
is a small pilot air inlet hole about from where the
pilot ame comes out of pilot assembly (see Figure
23). With unit off, lightly blow air through air inlet
hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with appliance running. All slotted burner ame holes should be
open with ame present. All round burner ame holes
should be open with a small blue ame present. Some
burner ame holes may become blocked by debris or
rust, with no ame present. If so, turn off appliance
and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner ame
holes will create soot.
WARNING: The injector holders (air shut-
ters) are not adjustable. Do not move injector
holders from their original positions.
