ASSEMBLY STEPS
The typical sequence of installation follows,
however, each installation is unique resulting
in variations to those described.
1. Construct the appliance framing.
F
2. Route gas supply line to appliance location.
3. Position the appliance.
4. Install the vent system and exterior termina-
tion.
5. Field wire and install operating control switch.
6. Make connection to gas supply.
7. Install (optional) outside Air Kit.
8. Install the logs and rockwool.
9. Checkout appliance operation.
10. Adjust burner to ensure proper flame ap-
pearance.
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
The fireplace may be installed directly on a
combustible floor or raised on a platform of an
appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on
carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It
may, however, be placed on flat wood, plywood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be
sure fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor
or platform with appropriate framing for support and so that no cold air can enter the room
from under the fireplace.
The fireplace may be positioned and then the
framing built around it, or the framing may be
constructed and the fireplace positioned into
the opening.
Usually, no special floor support is needed for
the fireplace, however, to be certain:
1. Estimate the total weight of the fireplace
system and surround materials such as brick,
stone, etc., to be installed.
2. Measure the square footage of the floor
space to be occupied by the system, surrounds
and hearth extensions.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
3. Note the floor construction, i.e. 2 x 6’s, 2 x
8’s or 2 x 10’s, single or double joists, type and
thickness of floor boards.
5
Page 6
4. Use this information and consult your local
building code to determine if you need additional support.
If you plan to raise the fireplace and hearth
extension, build the platform assembly then
position fireplace and hearth extension on top.
Secure the platform to the floor to prevent
possible shifting.
INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE
Step 1. Construct the Appliance Framing -
Frame appliance enclosure as illustrated in
Figures 4 through 7 on page 5
Note: The framed depth, 25
a framed wall, must always be measured from
a finished surface. If a wall covering such as
drywall is to be attached to the rear wall, then
the 25
⁵⁄₈
"
(650 mm) must be measured from
the drywall surface. It is important that this
dimension be exact.
.
⁵⁄₈
"
(650 mm) from
An external regulator must be used on all
propane (L.P.G.) heaters to reduce the supply
tank pressure to 13" w.c. (maximum). Any
copper tubing used to supply propane (L.P.G.)
from the tank must be internally tinned.
IMPORTANT: HOLD GAS VALVE SECURELY
TO PREVENT MOVEMENT WHEN CONNECTING TO INLET GAS LINE
WARNING: CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO
AN UNREGULATED PROPANE (L.P.G.)
TANK MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
All appliances are equipped with a gas flex line
and shutoff valve attached directly to the gas
control valve. To quickly and easily complete
the gas line routing, use the gas flex line kit.
Step 3.Position the Appliance - Slide the
fireplace into prepared framing or position fireplace in its final position and frame later.
IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
CAN THE FIREPLACE TOP SPACERS

BE REMOVED OR MODIFIED, NOR
(refer to
MAY YOU NOTCH THE HEADER TO FIT
AROUND OR BE INSTALLED LOWER THAN
THE SPACERS. THE HEADER MAY BE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE TOP SPACERS
BUT MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED BY THEM.
Fireplace should be secured to side framing
members using the full length ¹⁄₂ inch nailing
flanges that are integral to the appliance at
each side. Use 8d nails
(Figure 9 )
8d Nail
.
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed.
The header may rest on the top metal spacers,
but must not be notched to fit around them.
Consult all local codes.
Step 2.Route Gas Supply Line - Route gas
line
(Figure 8 )
using techniques and materials
prescribed by local and/or national codes. It is
recommended that a gas line of ¹⁄₂" or greater
diameter be used to allow full gas volume to
the fireplace. Undue pressure loss will occur if
the pipe is too small. The appliance, as set up
at the factory, is best suited for use with a gas
line routed from the left side. The gas line may
however be alternately routed from the right
side.
When rigid pipe is used, an ANSI approved
manual shut-off valve and union must be installed upstream of the fireplace.
Ensure that a sediment trap is installed in the
existing gas line, if not, install a sediment trap
upstream to prevent moisture and contaminants from passing through trap to the appliance controls and burners. Failure to do so
could prevent the appliance from operating
reliably.

soap, 50% water) is an effective leak test
solution but it is not recommended, because
the soap residue that is left on the pipes/
fittings can result in corrosion over time. Never
use an open flame to check for leaks.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions label in the control compartment
or in the Homeowner's Care and Operation
Instructions).
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.
D. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
observe the individual tongues of flame on the
burner. Make sure all ports are open and
producing flame evenly across the burner. If
any ports are blocked, or partially blocked,
clean out the ports.
Step 7. Outside Air Kits – Optional combustion
(outside make-up air) kits, Model FOAK-4 or
FAOK-4LD, may be used with these appliances.
Refer to the installation instructions packaged
with the air kits for specific installation information. If used, the outside air kit must be installed
before the fireplace is framed and enclosed in the
finished wall.
Outside air drawn into the fireplace supplies air
to the fire for combustion. Only one combustion air duct on the left side of the fireplace is
necessary if installed.
If additional length of duct is necessary, purchase locally available U.L. Class 0 or Class 1
metallic ducting. The duct may extend up to 50'
(15.24 m) in any direction.
Note: When installing the air duct vertically, DO
NOT terminate the duct closer than 3' below the
chimney top.
There is one hand operated shut-off valve located in the left side of the fireplace opening
behind the screen. To open, pull the handle out.
The combustion air damper should be fully
open when the fireplace is in use and fully
closed when the fireplace is not in operation to
prevent outside air from entering your home.
B. Brush all joints and connections with the
gas leak test solution to check for leaks. If
bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected,
turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking
connection and retest as described above.

Outside combustion air ducting may be run
upwards or vertically through framing and ceiling joists, with the hood installed through an
outside wall and 3' (1 m) below the termination.
Ducting may also be run downward through
floor joists and under the home to a ventilated
crawlspace not considered part of the living
area of the home.
After installing the outside air kit, remove the
cover from the shut off lever in the left side of
the firebox opening.
Note: Do not terminate combustion air kit in
attic space under any circumstances.
After completing the installation of the optional
combustion air vent system the actuator arm
must be put in service and tested to ensure
proper operation before completing any enclosure around the firebox. Failure to do so may
result in extensive and costly rework.
Operate the actuator through several cycles
including the closed position. Ensuring proper
operation and freedom of movement. Return
the actuator arm to the closed position.

MANUALLY-RESET BLOCKED FLUE SAFETY
SWITCH
This appliance is equipped with a manuallyreset blocked flue safety switch. Refer to
Figure 21
for its location. If during appliance
operation, the flame goes out (independently
of the burner on/off wall switch), it may be due
to the operation of this safety limit switch.
First allow the appliance to cool. Then reset
the safety switch by pushing the red reset
button.

Step 10. Adjustments – The following para-
graphs address adjustment concerns and procedures.
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste.
Generally most people prefer the warm glow of
a yellow to orange flame. Appliances operated
with air shutter openings that are too large, or
with long vertical vent runs, will exhibit flames
that are blue and transparent. These weak, blue
and transparent flames are termed anemic.
If the air shutter opening is too small sooting
may develop. Sooting is indicated by black
puffs developing at the tips of very long orange
flames. 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 flames and a lack of combustion
air entering the air shutter opening.
Adjustment
To adjust the flame, position the air shutter to
the nominal setting
(Figure 24 ).
Allow the
burner to operate for at least 30 minutes.
Observe the flame continuously. If it appears
weak or sooty as previously described, adjust
the air shutter open or closed until desired
effect is achieved.
Note: If the flame still appears anemic with the
air shutter closed all the way (usually a result of
lengthy vertical venting runs), turn off the appliance, turn off the gas supply, wait for the parts
to cool and access the air shutter. The shutter
is prevented from actually closing by a tab that
is bent over into the opening. Remove this
obstruction by bending back. Reassemble and
restart the appliance and after 24 minutes
reobserve the flame. Adjust the air shutter as
described.

To light the burner; rotate the gas valve control
knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position
(“ON” will be to the left hand side of the valve).
Turn “ON” the remote wall switch.
Electronic Appliance Checkout
To light the burner, turn ‘ON’ the optional
remote wall switch and turn the gas control
switch to the “ON” position. Ensure the ignitor
lights the pilot. The pilot flame should engulf
the flame rod as shown in

Ground
Electrode
Flame Rod
To achieve a warm yellow to orange flame with
an orange body that does not soot, the shutter
opening must be adjusted between these two
extremes.
No smoke or soot should be present. Reposition the log set if the flames impinge on any of
them.
If sooting conditions exist, the air shutter
opening on the main burner can be adjusted.
Normally, the more offsets in the vent system,
the greater the need for the air shutter to be
opened further.
