the "Clearance to Combustibles" section.
2) Install flueing. Refer to the "Flueing"
section.
3) Make gas connections. Refer to the "Gas
Connection" section.
T est the pilot. Must be as per diagram in the
"Pilot Adjustment" section.
4) If necessary, convert NG to LPG. Refer to
the "Conversion from NG to LPG" section
5) Test Gas Pressure. Refer to the "Gas Pipe
Pressure Testing" section.
6) Install log set. Refer to the "Log Set
Installation" section.
7) Install Front Door. Refer to the "Front Door
Installation" section.
8) Test for fl ue spillage (draft test). Refer to the
"Test for Flue Spillage" section.

b. Optional Remote Control
10) Final check. Refer to the "Final Check"
section.
Before leaving this unit with the customer, the
installer must ensure that the appliance is fi r-
ing correctly and operation fully explained to
customer.
This includes:
1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct
fi ring rate (rate noted on label) after burning
appliance for 15 minutes.
2) If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure
that the fl ame does not carbon. First allow
the unit to burn for 15-20 min. to stabilize.
CAUTION: Any alteration to the product that
causes sooting or carboning or that results in
damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances listed below are MINIMUM
distances. Measure the clearance to both the
appliance and the chimney connector. (The
farthest distance is correct if the two clearances do not coincide.) For example, if the
appliance is set as indicated in one of the fi gures
but the connector is too close, move the stove
until the correct clearance to the connector is
obtained.
This unit can be installed on a solid combustible
surface like a wood fl oor. This unit can also be
installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when
the bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with
unit) is installed.
This appliance may be installed only with the
clearances as shown in the situations pictured.
Do not combine clearances from one type of
installation with another in order to achieve
closer clearances.
Use the minimum clearances shown in the
diagrams below for all installations.
Clearances
A Side Wall to Unit 7-1/2" / 190 mm
B Back Wall to Unit 6" / 155 mm
E Side Wall to Unit 2" / 50 mm
Reference Dimensions
C Back Wall to Flue Centerline 10-3/4" / 273 mm
D Side Wall to Flue Centerline 20-1/2" / 520 mm
F Side Wall to Flue Centerline 11" / 280 mm
Minimum ceiling
height is 36" / 914 mm
from top of unit.
If further reduced clearances are needed, obtain requirements for
construction of a protected wall from your
local building authorities and their allowable
reductions of the listed
clearances.
DRAFT DIVERTER
This heater has a draft diverter built in. It must
not be altered, obstructed, or blocked in any way,
and the unit must be installed so that the draft
diverter is in the same atmospheric pressure
zone as the combustion air inlet to the burner.
This heater must be properly connected to a
fl ueing system. This heater is equipped with a
fl ue safety shutoff system.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when
not connected to a properly installed and
maintained fl ueing system or tampering with
the fl ue safety shutoff system can result in
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
FLUEING
This heater is a fl ued appliance and must be
connected to a chimney/fl ue in accordance with
the installation codes.
Note: The rear pedestal cover plate must
always be fi tted for safety. Electrical
connections inside.
For your safety this heater is equipped with a
fl ue safety switch designed to sense incorrect
fl ueing and react by shutting down the gas sup-
ply. This thermally actuated switch is located
within the draft diverter and will detect either a
blocked chimney or backdraft condition where the
chimney fl ow has reversed. If this switch shuts
the unit down, it indicates a drafting problem that
must be identifi ed and rectifi ed without delay
- the thermally activated switch must never be
bypassed or disconnected as a hazardous or
deadly condition can result.

INSTALLATION
Flueing Requirements
A100 mm diameter fl ue is required. For cosmetic
or aesthetic purposes 6" outer fl ue can be used
as long as an approved inner fl ue is installed.
Fasten but do not penetrate the inner sleeve of
the fl ue when tightening the screw.
The minimum fl ue required is 3.3m from fl oor
level.
Follow all fl ueing manufacturer’s requirements
and local building codes or AS5601-2004.
GAS CONNECTION
The gas line should be rigid pipe. Copper may
also be used if approved by AS5601-2004.
The gas connection at the valve is 1/2 male.
For minimum and maximum supply pressure
see the System Data Table.
GAS PIPE PRESSURE
TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures
over 3.45 kPa (14" w.c.).
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked
at the pressure test point.
6) When fi nished reading manometer, turn
off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" fl at
screwdriver. Screw should be snug, but do
not over tighten.

should be checked using the valve
pressure ports on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.
2) Loosen the "IN" (# 7) and/or "OUT" (# 6)
pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise
with a 1/8" wide fl at screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.
4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position.
5) The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specifi ed on the safety
label.
