NOTE: This heater may be installed three different ways:
1. Wall Mounted
2. Freestanding heater (with optional pedestal)
3. Freestanding (with optional wooden mantel)
WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION:
1. After determining the location for the heater, unfold the template provided and place the bottom
of the template a minimum of 7" from bottom of unit to floor.
NOTE: Be sure to level the template before punching the holes.
2. With the template in place and the four black dots centered on studs, punch the four centers
marked in the black dots with a sharp pointed object. Insert the four wood screws provided with
the unit into the four punched holes.
NOTE: Leave 5/8" of the screw projecting from the finished wall.
Figure 3
5/8" or 15.875 mm
For sheet rock walls, use wing nuts or anchor wings. Remove the wing nut from the bolt. Place a nut
and washer with the same thread and size on the bolt. Push the wing nut through the wall surface
allowing the wings to spread. Tighten the nut that you placed on the bolt, leaving the required 5/8"
between the back of the bolt head and the finished wall.

3. Lift heater by each bottom corner and place the round part of the tear drop punch out over each
10
screw head. Gently push down until the body of the screw is at the end of the slot.
NOTE: Make sure unit is level.
4. Now you are ready to hook up the gas line. The Model 1127 allows for a rear or bottom
connection for the gas line. See “Gas Connection” on page 17 for details.
CLEANING INFORMATION:
Cleaning is a vital part of the life of your stove. In order to properly clean the unit, remove the front.
To remove: use Phillips screwdriver to loosen four screws in the sides of the front. You will find that
the front is easily removed in one piece.
Next you must remove the log(s) from the burner base. Gently place your hands, one on each side of
the log(s) and lift upward. Do not apply to much force on the log(s), this may cause damage to the
fiber material.
Figure 5
A vacuum cleaner works well for removal of dust and debris from around the burner and logs. To
remove the burner, use a tool with an extension to loosen the screw in the base. The screw is located
between the log and the actual base. Simply slide the base out of the unit. NOTE: Do not use a pin or
any sharp object to clean the pilot.
NOTE: Any parts that are removed while cleaning must be replaced before operating the appliance.

FREESTANDING WITH OPTIONAL PEDESTAL INSTALLATION
1. Place heater on backside and center the pedestal on the bottom. Mark the 4 pre-punched holes in
the pedestal angle. Use the 4 self-tapping screws provided with the pedestal to drill the 4 marked
spots. Secure the pedestal to the bottom of the unit.
NOTE: If the gas line is run through the floor, you may want to drill a hole in the bottom of the
pedestal.
2. The pedestal must be secured to the floor. One option is to drill holes in the top side of the bottom
of the pedestal. Use screws or “Ell” brackets to fasten pedestal to the floor.
IMPORTANT: THE 1127 FREESTANDING UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED ON A FLAT
SURFACE (SUCH AS A WOOD PANEL, METAL OR HARDWOOD FLOORS.)
