IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING: This appliance assembly contains burner orifices specifically for the input gas specified on the burner
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.

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.

11. The fire pit should be examined prior to use and inspected by a qualified agency. The burner should be

cleaned annually by a qualified agency

12. To clean the burner shut off and disconnect the gas supply, use a pipe cleaner to clean out burner ports

and vacuum the inside of the burner by removing the orifice/air mixer fitting from the inlet of the burner.
After the burner is cleaned, attach the orifice/air mixer fitting onto the inlet of the burner and reconnect
the gas supply. Light according to the “Lighting Instructions”.

13. If burning a log set, use a soft dry paintbrush for periodic dusting of the gas fire logs. Special care must be

taken to clean the logs because rubbing will remove soot but will also remove the color.

14. If the fire pit has a cover allow the fire pit to completely cool prior to covering.

15. The top of the fire pit must be fully open and clear of any obstruction prior to igniting the burner system.

All covers, caps and lids must be removed before the burner system is in operation

16. A manual gas valve and 11.0” W.C pressure regulator must be installed prior to the use of the propane

cylinder
