be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter).
NOTE: Before the first firing of the fireplace, the gas
supply line should be purged of any trapped air.
NOTE: Consult local building codes to properly size the gas
supply line leading to 1/2 inch (13 mm) hook-up at the unit.
This gas fireplace is designed to accept a 1/2 inch (13
mm) gas supply line. To install the gas supply line:
• A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved)
1/2 inch (13mm) tee-handle manual shut-off valve and a
listed flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2
inch (13mm) inlet of the control valve. NOTE: If substituting for these components, please consult local codes
for compliance.
• A 1/8 inch (3 mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for
test gauge connection, should be provided for in the gas
supply line leading to the unit’s shut-off valve.
• Remove the decorative door on the unit by pull ing away
from the unit to release it from the clips on each side.
• At the gas line
access hole in the
outer casing, use
insulation to re-pack
the space around
the gas pipe.
• The gas line should
be installed by a
qualified service
technician.
• Locate the gas line access hole in the outer casing of the
fireplace.
• Insert the gas supply line through the gas line hole, and
connect it to the shut-off valve.
• When attaching the pipe, support the control so that the
lines are not bent or torn.
•
After the gas line installation is complete, all connections must
be tightened and checked for leaks with a commercially-available, non-corrosive leak check solution. Be sure to rinse off all
leak check solution following testing.

Placing the Ember Material and Lava Rock
Two separate bags of ember material and one bag
of lava rock are shipped with this gas fireplace: The
bag labeled Golden Ember (GE-93) is flame colorant
material. The bag labeled Glowing Ember (050-721)
is standard glowing ember material. To place the
ember material:
• Remove the trim door by lifting up and away from the
unit or if you have an ARCH door , pull away from the
unit to release it from the clips on each side.
• Remove the glass door from the unit. Refer to
glass removal in Step 10.
• Cover the top of the burner with a single layer of
ember material. NOTE: Do NOT cover burnerports with embers. Then sprinkle GE-93 on top of
the burner.
• Save the remaining ember materials for use during
fireplace servicing.
• Place lava rock on burner tray.
• Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the
unit.
• Remove all paperwork from underneath the
fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the Safety and Warning Information section
at the beginning of this Installers Guide.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent
terminations.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE
replaced with an approved component. T ampering with
the fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids
all warranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally .
Step 12
Lighting
the Fireplace
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines, unlessthe gasvalve has been turned to the OFF position, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely.
Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run
the fireplace for an additional 8 hours. This will help to
cure the products used in the paint and logs.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the
fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is
unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components.
Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.
