Grand Canyon Gas Log sets are to be installed only in a solid­fuel burning fireplace with working flue and construction of
noncombustible material. The installation including
provisions for combustion and ventilation air must conform
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or
the CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
and applicable local building codes.
A damper clamp is included to maintain the minimum
permanent vent opening and to prevent full closure of the
damper blade. The chimney damper must be fully opened
when burning the log set. The log set is designed to burn
with a yellow flame, thus adequate ventilation is absolutely
necessary.
To comply with certifications, listings, and building code
acceptances, and for safe operation and proper
performance of this log set, use only Grand Canyon Gas Logs
parts and accessories. Use of other controls, parts, and
accessories that are not designed for use with Grand Canyon
Gas Logs log set is prohibited and will void all the
warranties, certifications, listings and building code
approvals, and may cause property damage, personal injury
or loss of life.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS GUIDE FOR

GRAND CANYON GAS LOG SYSTEMS

Grand Canyon Gas Logs, logs are made of cement refractory material re-enforced with steel fibers. Each of the logs are hand painted and
hand finished to recreate the most realistic logs available on the market. The gas burner system is designed to recreate and burn like a real
wood burning fireplace with a natural looking flame. With this in mind the gas log sets MUST be burned in a fully vented, non-combustible
fireplace with the DAMPER COMPLETELY OPEN and the chimney free of any obstruction or restrictions. The fireplace must be designed and
approved to bur wood.
The realistic flame produced by Grand Canyon Gas Log burners produce carbon monoxide and soot. Under standard conditions these
byproducts are exhausted up the chimney. IF the fumes or soot from the burning gas are evident in the room when the damper is fully open
it indicates that the fireplace draft is defective. IF this happens DO NOT operate your gas logs until the fireplace drat is corrected, call a
service technician to fix the problem.

IMPORTANT

For all valves, the air MUST be purged from the gas line before the pilot will light and burn properly. The
time needed to purge will depend on the length of the gas line to the unit and the amount of time since the
unit or gas line was last used. It may take several minutes before all the air is purged and the pilot will light
and burn properly. Follow the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section in this manual.

and box, as well as the Btu rating specified in this manual. Modifying or failure to use the factory orifice may
cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Read these instructions completely before installing and using Grand Canyon Gas Log system.

1. Gas type will be indicated on the burner and the box. Do not use a natural gas burner with propane or a

propane burner with natural gas.

2. The installation, provisions for combustion, and ventilation air must conform to the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, or the CSA B 149.1, National Gas and Propane Installation Code.

3. For warranty to be valid gas log sets must be installed by a NFI certified or other qualified professional

installer.

4. This appliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning fireplace with a working flue and constructed

of non-combustible materials. Solid fuels are not to be burned in a fireplace where a decorative appliance
has been installed.

5. A permanent free opening must be provided by either the fireplace chimney or chimney damper to vent

carbon monoxide and other flue gases. Any chimney damper must be fixed in a manner, which will
maintain the permanent free opening at all times. Use the table at the bottom of this page to determine
the minimum permanent free opening based on chimney height and the appliance Btu rating.

6. A fireplace screen must be in place when the appliance is operating and, unless other provisions for

combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction of combustion air. With
use of glass doors, doors must be open while the appliance is burning to assure proper ventilation.

7. The minimum inlet supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is 5.0 inches (natural gas) 8.0

inches (propane) in water column. The maximum inlet supply pressure is 10.5 inches (natural gas) 13.0
inches (propane) in water column.

8. The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system

during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5kPa). The appliance
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual valve during pressure
testing equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5kPa).

9. The appliance area is to be clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable

vapors and liquids.

10. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician

to inspect the appliance and to replace any gas control which has been under water.
