Important: When lit for the first time, the appliance
will emit a slight odour for a couple of hours. This is
due to the curing of paints, sealants and lubricants
used in the manufacturing process. This condition is
temporary. Open doors and windows to ventilate
area. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan
in the "OFF" position. Smoke and fumes caused by
the curing process may cause discomfort to some
individuals.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or cook stove oven.
CAUTION
FOR YOUR SAFETY - Do not install or operate your Pacific
Energy heater without first reading and understanding this
manual. Any installation or operational deviation from the
following instructions voids the Pacific Energy Warranty and
may prove hazardous.

GAS SUPPLY
CLEARANCES
Caution: The gas line should be installed by a qualified
service person in accordance with all building codes.
Consult local and/or national building codes before
proceeding.
Correct gas line diameter must be used to assure proper
operation. The gas control is equipped with a captured screw
type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide
a 1/8 inch N.P.T. plugged tapping pressure test port for
checking gas pressure immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the appliance.
The gas valve inlet accepts a 3/8" N.P.T. fitting. For leg model
units, it is recommended to use the optional flex gas connector
(#GASC.GASCON). Route the gas connector inside the
adapter to the rear. Fasten connector to the right side near the
back with the bracket. Alternately, the gas supply line may
enter through the 4" diameter hole located in the base of the
leg adapter. This will allow the installation of the optional
blower kit.
Correct gas pressure requirements:
