IMPORTANT INFORMATION
BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR GAS LOG SET
If the wood burning fireplace has the telltale sign of soot (blackened fascia) or smoked up when used as a wood
burning fireplace, putting a gas log set in it without rectifying the sooting issue will not solve this. There are reasons
why fireplaces soot, the damper is not open far enough, too small of flue, too large of fireplace opening, obstruction in chimney, creosite buildup, bird’s nest, negative room pressures created by insufficient outside air, exhaust
fans etc. and or log sets that are installed too close to the opening thus allowing byproducts to spill into the room,
chimney too cold, poor fireplace design. Problems with the fireplace should be rectified before operating gas log
set.

Operations and Maintenance Instructions
Installation Requirements for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Warning: This fireplace has been converted for use with a gas fireplace insert only and cannot be used
for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced, and the fireplace re-approved by
the authority having jurisdiction.
INSTALLING
INSTALLATION OF BURNER INTO
EXISTING FIREPLACE
NOTE: Installed only in a solid fuel burning fireplace with
a working flue and constructed of non-combustible material. See chart on following page for minimum permanent
flue opening based on KBTU/HR and chimney height.
The damper must be secured so the minimum flue opening will be maintained at all times.
Warning:
Before installing in a solid fuel
burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must
be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint
by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote may ignite
when heated to a high temperature. Have chimney
flue inspected for damage. If flue system is
damaged, do not install the unit.
Warning:
Seal any fresh air vents or ash
cleanout doors located on the floor or wall of
fireplace. If this is not done, drafting may result
causing pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat-resistant
sealant. Do not seal chimney flue damper.
INSTALLING - DAMPER STOP
A damper stop is provided with vented log set. The
damper stop must be installed as shown in the diagram, damper stop is for minimum flue opening.
If the clamp does not fit or provide the minimum permanent flue opening as per charts, have the damper
cut or drilled to provide minimum permanent opening
or install a permanent stop.
Warning:
Installation of vented gas logs in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the
vent damper be permanently removed or welded in
the full open position. Vented gas logs can not be
installed in a bedroom or bathroom in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts

INSTALLING – Gas Line
INSTALLING GAS LINE
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, and / or nausea. If you
have these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Turn off gas appliance. Have
appliance serviced. Some people (such as pregnant
women, persons with heart or lung disease, persons with
anemia and those at high altitudes) are more affected by
carbon monoxide than others. Make certain you read and
understand all warnings. Place Burner Base / Grate Assembly in center of firebox and connect flexible gas line to
incoming black iron pipe gas line.
Do not connect appliance before pressure testing gas
piping. Damage to gas valve may result and an unsafe
condition may be caused.
Prepare incoming black iron gas line with Teflon tape or
pipe joint compound (check with local codes about the
use of Teflon tape). Compounds used on threaded joints
of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of Liquefied
Petroleum (LP or Propane) and should be applied lightly
to ensure excess sealant does not enter the gas line.
Complete your gas installation by connecting incoming
gas line to regulator. Secure all joints tightly with wrench
but do not over-tighten. If a flexible gas line is used,
take care not to kink connector. The burner pressure is
controlled by the regulator. Check pressure at the
Warning:
Installation and repair should be
done by a qualified service person well trained in
the installation of such appliances. You will also
need a building permit from your local Building
Commissioner before installing this appliance,
otherwise your insurance company may not cover
this appliance.
Warning:
CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
Warning:
Any changes to this heater or its
controls can be dangerous.
INSTALLING – BURNER
INSTALLING BURNER TO FIREBOX:
1. Position Grate/Burner assembly into solid fuel firebox
with the front burner located directly under the opening
for the best flame appearance. (DO NOT have any of
the burner assembly outside the firebox.)
2. Drill two 3/16” diameter holes as indicated in the diagram, approximately 1 1/2” deep.
3. Anchor the burner assembly to the floor using the 2
screws provided.
For the state of Massachusetts a T-handle gas shut-
off valve must be used on a gas appliance. This Thandle gas shut-off valve must be listed and approved
by the state of Massachusetts. This is in reference to
the state of Massachusetts state code CMR238.
cont’d on page 9

Warning:
All gas piping and connections
must be tested for leaks after installation is
completed. To test, turn gas valve on, then apply a
soap and water solution to all connections and joints.
If bubbles appear, leak can be detected and
corrected. Never use an open flame for leak
testing. Never operate any appliance if a leak is
detected!
Warning:
Use new black pipe only. Internally
tinned copper tubing can be used in some areas
when permitted by local codes. Only use pipe of
1/2” or greater diameter to allow full gas volume to
heater. Excessive pressure loss will occur if the pipe
is too small.
A manual shutoff valve, union and plugged
1
⁄8” NPT
pressure tap pointer must be installed upstream of
the heater.
A sediment trap must be installed upstream of the
heater to prevent moisture and contaminants from
passing through the pipe to the heater controls and
burners. Failure to do so could prevent the heater
from operating reliably.

pressure test point, which is located on the front of the
gas control. Make sure that the pressure tap is completely closed after checking gas pressure. The pressure should be checked with the appliance burning and
the control set on high.
IMPORTANT: Loosen the pipe adapter on the flex tube
before installing to the system piping.
CHECK GAS TYPE: The gas supply must be the
same as stated on the heater’s rating plate. If the gas
supply is different, Do Not Install the heater. Contact
your dealer for the correct model.
Warning:
A qualified gas appliance installer
must connect the fireplace to the gas supply.
Consult all local codes.
Warning:
Any safety screen or guard
removed for servicing an appliance must be
replaced prior to operating the heater.
