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,
obstruc-
tion 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

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.
