More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint, dust, pet hair, etc. It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and air passageways are unobstructed during operation.

Hearth & Home Technologies • Grand Oak Match Light Gas Log Sets • 4004-300 Rev C • 12/05

• Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected and cleaned by qualiﬁ ed professionals. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certiﬁ ed professionals, or technicians under the direction of certiﬁ ed professionals, conduct a minimum of an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection of the chimney.

• Replace component parts of the chimney and ﬁ replace as speciﬁ ed by the professionals.

• Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimmney is properly secured.

• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the ﬁ replace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner ﬂ ame pattern.

• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessories not approved for use with this appliance.

• This appliance must have a screen in place while the

appliance is in operation and, unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening for introduction of combustion air.

• Solid fuels shall not be burned in a ﬁ replace where a decorative appliance is installed.

• If glass doors are present, the glass doors must be fully

opened while appliance is in operation.

WARNING

Fire Risk Explosion Risk

Verify inlet pressures.

• High pressure may cause overfire condition.

• Low pressure may cause explosion.

Install regulator upstream of valve if line pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.

Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualiﬁ ed service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

D. Appliance Certiﬁ cation

This appliance has been evaluated by RADCO in accordance with the requirements of LARGA2-72 Standard for

Decorative Log Sets for Installation in Wood Burning Fireplaces. Installation and the provisions for combustion and

ventilation air must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

E. Gas Supply Connection

A 3/8 in. ﬂ ared ﬁ tting has been installed on the gas valve inlet at the factory. Ensure ﬁ ttings are of the appropriate size and type on the gas line connection. If the tubing has to be cut to length be sure to use the proper cutting and ﬂ aring tool. Also, be careful not to crimp the tubing while bending. If the tubing becomes crimped, do not use for installation.

Gas resistant pipe compound must be used on all threaded male connections to ensure a tight seal.

F. Gas Pressure

Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made following NFPA51.

WARNING

Fire Risk Explosion Risk

High pressure will damage valve.

• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures above 1/2 psig.

• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

• Gas Supply Pressure: Minimum inlet gas supply pressure must be 7.0 in. W.C. for natural gas. The gas line supplying the appliance must be sufﬁ cient size to furnish the appropriate supply pressure to the appliance while operating in the “High” setting. (Minimum line ID of 1/2 in. required if the line is longer than 20 ft.

• Pressure tap screws must be closed before turning gas on to the appliance.

• Gas Line Pressure Test: Perform pressure test according to state and local code (if pressure exceeds 1/2 in. psi (3.5 kPa)) before appliance is connected. Be sure to release air pressure from the gas line before connection is made to the appliance. Excessive pressure will damage the gas control and may cause a gas leak.

• Gas Leak Test: Make sure the gas connections are tight. Turn on the gas and coat each joint with a non-corrosive gas leak check solution. Air bubbles will form indicating any leaks. DO NOT USE A FLAME OR ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. All leaks must be corrected before proceeding with installation.

• The appliance must only be installed in a solid-fuel burning ﬁ replace with the ﬂ ue damper clamped open according to Tables 1 and 2. The ﬁ replace must be constructed of non-combustible material.

• The minimum permanent free opening (in square inches) that must be provided by the ﬁ replace chimney or damper to vent the ﬂ ue gases is provided in Tables 1 and 2. If the free opening is smaller than the speciﬁ ed area, do not use this appliance.

• The damper must be removed or ﬁ xed in a manner in which will secure it open. Some jurisdictions require the damper to be removed or permanently welded fully open. Check with state and local codes.

• Be sure that the chimney is completely unobstructed to ensure proper ventilation of ﬂ ue gases including carbon monoxide (CO). CO (a poisonous gas) is tasteless, odorless, colorless and undetectable without proper equipment.

• Refer to Table 3 to determine minimum ﬁ replace opening requirements before proceeding.

Hearth & Home Technologies • Grand Oak Match Light Gas Log Sets • 4004-300 Rev C • 12/05

G. Negative Pressure

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the ﬁ replace to operate properly. Causes for this imbalance include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.).

• Range hoods.

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances.

• Clothes dryers.

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning.

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system.

• Upper level air leaks: recessed lighting, attic hatch opening, duct leaks.

Figure 1 Measure Firebox

• The burner is assembled with the controls installed at the factory and is designed to connect one end of the 3/8 in. supply line before placing inside the ﬁ replace. Ensure the connection is tightened using a 3/4 in. wrench.

• Place the burner towards the rear and center of the ﬁ replace and connect to the gas line. Follow instructions in “F. Gas Pressure” to check for gas leaks.

• Install the grate by placing the inserts (attached to the grate) into the slots provided in the burner pan. Slide the inserts into the slots (See Figure 2) and push the grate as far as possible to the locked position.
