This appliance uses a millivolt-type control system consisting of a gas control valve/regulator, a standing pilot burner assembly, a
thermopile, a piezo igniter, and the ON/OFF switch. THIS UNIT DOES NOT REQUIRE 110 VOLT POWER TO OPERATE. All exhaust gases
must be vented outside the structure of the living area. Combustion air is drawn from outside the living area structure.
Install fireplace in accordance with all local codes, if any; if none, follow The National Fuel Gas Codes ANSI Z223.1-1992 and NFPA 54(88);
or Canadian Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.
MANUFACTURED OR MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION: This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate and
may be installed in an aftermarket, permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home where not prohibited by local codes. Installations
must conform with: USA: Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280. CANADA: CSA Z240.4 and Gas
Equipped Recreational Vehicles and Mobile Housing.
WARNINGS: This appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may
be required where excessive lint from material like carpeting and bedding is present. The control compartment, the burner compartment and
all circulating air passageways of the appliance must be kept clean and clear at all times. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies. This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue servicing a separate
solid fuel burning appliance. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid
flesh burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be carefully supervised at all times when they are in the same room as the appliance.
CAUTION: All safety screen or guard components removed for servicing, must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Clothing or
other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance. Risk of electrical shock. Switch the household breaker off or
remove fuse before servicng unit. Use Simpson DURA-VENT direct vent system (Model GS) to vent this appliance to the exterior (direct
discharge only with duct connection.)

SAFETY NOTICES
Many of the components within this replace are designed
specically for safety purposes. It is therefore imperative
that only certified gas service technicians install and
service this replace.
Main Burner Operation:
A millivolt system controls the operation of this
fireplace. The thermopile and thermocouple generate
electricity when heated by the pilot ame. This electricity is
used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the
gas valve will not turn on. That is why when starting the pilot
the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the
thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The
thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch, remote
control, or thermostat. Because the thermopile generates
the electricity needed to turn the replace on and off, this
replace can be operated when the power is out (although
the blower will not run).
Gas Buildup Prevention Feature:
This appliance’s utilization of a high-technology gas
valve in conjunction with a pilot ame ensures that no gas
builds up inside the rebox.
The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the
pilot ame is lit. If the pilot ames goes out, this thermocouple
no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to
automatically shut off all gas to the heater, preventing the
pilot from spilling gas into the rebox.
• Strict adherence to the instructions in this manual must
be followed. Improper installation will void the warranty
and safety listing.
• This appliance is manufactured to operate on natural
gas (NG). It is eld convertible to propane (LP) with the
manufacturers’ conversion kit included with replace.
Burning incorrect fuel voids the warranty and safety listing
SAFETY NOTICES
and may cause an extreme safety hazard.
• Contact local building ofcials to obtain a permit and
information on installation restrictions or requirements in
your locale. It is also important to notify your homeowner’s
insurance company of the installation of this appliance
as well.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable liquids
in the vicinity of the appliance.
• If the flame becomes sooty, dark orange in color, or
extremely tall, DO NOT operate the appliance. Contact
your dealer and arrange for servicing immediately.
• DO NOT operate the appliance if it is not operating
pr operly in any manner. Contact your dealer for
assistance.
• DO NOT operate the appl iance if any portion was
submerged in water or if any corrosion occurs.
• Do not place clothing or other ammable items on or near
the appliance at any time. Due to thermostatic control,
the possibility exists for the appliance to turn on, igniting
any items on or near it.
• Open viewing glass for servicing only.
• Operate the appliance in accordance with the instructions
contained in this manual.
• If the main burners do not start correctly, turn the gas
off at the gas control valve and contact your dealer
for service.
• This unit is not for use with solid fuel. DO NOT place
anything inside the rebox other than the brickset, logset,
lava rock and mineral wool included with the replace.
• If the logs become damaged refer to Parts and Accessories
page of this manual for replacement.
• Face surfaces can become extremely hot during operation. Instruct your family and guests of this danger and
supervise young children when they are in the same
room as the heater.
• Instruct everyone in the house how to shut the gas off
to the appliance and also at the main gas shut-off valve.
The gas main shut-off valve is usually next to the gas
meter or propane tank and requires a wrench to shut
off. The manual shut-off valve will be installed by your
installer near the replace.
• Use the built-in piezo igniter to light the appliance. Do not
use matches or any other external device.
• Allow the appliance to cool before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning.
• The pilot ame must contact the thermopile and thermocouple. If it does not, turn the gas control valve to “OFF”
and call your Dealer.
• DO NOT away throw this manual. Important operating
and maintenance instructions are included.
• DO NOT remove, replace, modify or substitute any
part of the appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of trafc and away from furniture and
draperies.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperature and should stay away to
avoid burns or lothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the appliance.
• Clothing or other ammable material should not be
placed on or near the appliance.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
an appliance must be replaced prior to operating
the appliance.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualied
service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional
service person. More frequent cleaning may be
re qu ired due to ex ce ssive lint fr om ca rpeting,
bedding material, et cetera. It is imperative that
control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• Only doors certied with the appilance shall be used.
WARNING:
Do not operate appliance with the glass
front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of glass should be done by a licensed
or qualied service person.
