DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS
Step 1: PREPARATION - Plan and install gas
line and fl oor protection (if necessary - see Floor
Protection, page 5).
Gas Supply Line (reference Figure 18 on page
13) - Installing a gas supply line from the
fuel supply to the appliance involves numerous considerations of materials, protection,
sizing, locations, controls, pressure, sediment,
and more. Certainly no one unfamiliar and
unqualifi ed should attempt sizing or installing
gas piping.
The gas supply line should be plumbed from
the fuel source to the area where the appliance
is to be installed per requirements outlined
in NFPA 54 - latest edition (USA) and B149
- latest edition (Canada).

The proper gas line diameter must be used
to run from the supply regulator (at the gas
company meter) to the appliance. Never use
galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to table 6
for suggested sizing of the gas supply line if
black iron pipe is being used.
The gas supply line should be connected to
the appliance at step 10.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If propane is used, be aware
that if the tank size is too small (i.e. under
100-lbs, if this is the only gas appliance in the
dwelling. Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of
pressure, resulting in insuffi cient fuel delivery
(which can result in sooting or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting from an improper
installation, such as this, is not covered under
the limited warranty.

These appliances are equipped with a gas fl ex
line for use (where permitted) in connecting
the unit to the gas line. A gas fl ex line is
provided to aid in attaching the direct vent
appliance to the gas supply. The gas fl ex line
can only be used where local codes permit.
See Figure 18 for fl ex line description. The
fl ex line is rated for both natural and propane
gas. A manual shut off valve is also provided
with the fl ex line. The gas control valve is
located in the lower control compartment.
To access the valve, open the lower access
door. The millivolt control valve has a 3/8"
(10 mm) NPT thread inlet port fi tting.
AIR PURGING PROCEDURES MUST PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN
ONLY.
Purging Air from Supply Line
a. Turn gas supply line valve off.
b. Loosen setscrew at inlet pressure tap on upper
right of control valve (see Figure 30).
c. Turn gas supply line valve on.
d. When gas fl ows, turn supply valve off.
e. Close the inlet pressure tap.
Purging Air from Appliance
Purge air from appliance by holding gas control
valve down in the pilot position until pilot will
light (see Figure 19). DO NOT LIGHT A MATCH IF YOU SMELL GAS. Light a match then allow
gas fl ow to pilot. If the Match “blows”, there is
air in the line (purge line). If the fl ame is straight
and tall, there is no gas pressure.
When fi rst lighting the appliance, it will take
a few minutes for the line to purge air from
the appliance. Once purging is complete,

Step 11. INSTALLING LOGS AND GLOWING EMBERS
The packaged log set and bag of glowing
embers are located within the fi rebox of
the stove.
Installation Instructions:
WARNING: If logs are not installed according to the directions shown here, fl ame
impingement and improper combustion
could occur and result in soot and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide (CO),
a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.
Carefully install the ember strip and sevenpiece log set into the fi rebox as shown in
these instructions. All logs should fi t onto
corresponding pins and/or log stoppers.
This will ensure a proper fl ame and safe
combustion.
1. Carefully place the ember strip as shown

VERIFY THAT THE GAS LINE HAS BEEN
PURGED OF AIR (SEE STEP 10).
Step 12. RE-INSTALL FRONT GLASS
ENCLOSURE PANEL
(Reverse instructions on Step 4)
Retrieve the front glass enclosure panel.
Visually inspect the gasket on the backside
of the frame. Gasket surface must be clean,
free of irregularities and seated fi rmly.
With the stove top off, position the glass front
enclosure panel into the front opening with
the gasket facing the relief door (reference
Figure 8 & 9). Let the bottom of the door
frame gently slide down, then hook the top
fl ange of the glass frame over the top of the
fi rebox frame.
Fasten the two latches located beneath the
fi rebox fl oor to the glass frame vee-fl ange.
Close both the latches securely.
Step 13. TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR
LEAKS (FACTORY AND FIELD).
Test For Gas Leaks
A. Mix a 50% dish soap, 50% water solution.
B. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions provided in the Homeowner's
Care and Operation Instructions).
C. Brush all joints and connections with the
soapy water solution to check for leaks. If
bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected,
turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” position and close the gas shut-off valve. Either
tighten or refasten the leaking connection
and retest as described above.
D. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
observe the individual tongues of fl ame on
the burner. Make sure all ports are open and
producing fl ame evenly across the burner. If
any ports are blocked, or partially blocked,
turn off unit, allow it to cool, then clean out
the ports.
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks
using a soapy water solution. Never use an
open fl ame to check for leaks.
Step 14. CHECKING APPLIANCE OPERATION
With gas line installed run initial system
checkout before closing up the front of
the unit. Follow the pilot lighting instructions provided in the Homeowner's Care
and Operation Instructions (or pull out the
instruction label located in a holder on rear
shield of stove) . For piezo igniter location

Figure 32 - Proper Pilot Flame Appearance
Step 15. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper fl ame appearance is a matter of taste.
Generally, most people prefer the warm glow
of a yellow to orange fl ame.
Appliances operated with air shutter openings
that are too large will exhibit fl ames that are
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent fl ames are termed anemic. If the
air shutter opening is too small sooting may
develop.
Figure 33 - Burner Flame Appearance
Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing
at the tips of very long orange fl ames. Sooting
results in black deposits forming on the logs,
appliance inside surfaces and on exterior
surfaces adjacent to the vent termination.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the fl ames and lack of combustion air
entering the air shutter opening. To achieve
a warm yellow to orange fl ame that does not
soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted
between these two extremes.
No smoke or soot should be present. Reposition the logs if fl ames impinge on any of
them. If the logs are properly positioned
and sooting conditions exist, the air shutter
opening on the main burner tube should be
adjusted. Normally, the more offsets in the
vent system, the greater the need for the air
shutter to be opened further.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE THAT THE FRONT
GLASS PANEL IS IN PLACE AND SEALED
DURING ADJUSTMENT.
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
Burner Adjustment
CAUTION: THE ADJUSTMENT ROD AND
NEARBY APPLIANCE SURFACES ARE
HOT. EXERCISE CAUTION TO AVOID
INJURY WHILE ADJUSTING FLAME
APPEARANCE.
Initially, always position the air shutter to the
factory setting as shown in Figure 34 (adjustment rod is located in the lower control area).
This can be done by moving the adjustment
rod up or down accordingly. Allow the burner
to operate for at least 15 minutes. Observe
the fl ame continuously. If it appears weak
or sooty as previously described, adjust the
air shutter to a more open position until the
desired fl ame appearance is achieved.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
The adjustment rod and associated adjustable
air shutter is patented technology. Flame adjustments can be made quickly and accurately to
taste without the need of disassembling the
appliance and waiting for 30 minutes after
each adjustment.

Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines:
If the burner fl ame appearance differs greatly
from what is shown on this page (see Figure
33), some adjustment from standard for
the air shutter gap may be necessary (to
compensate for variables in the installation
and fuel such as, BTU value / composition, gas pressure, specifi c gravity of gas,
altitude, etc.).
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment
for your installation.
