WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
If the area in which the appliance will be operated does not meet the required volume
for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air must be provided by one
of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas
Code, or applicable local codes.
This appliance requires a reliable source of fresh air for adequate combustion and
ventilation. This is essential for the appliance to operate properly and for your own safety.
Before installing this appliance in a solid-fuel burning replace, a qualied chimney
cleaner must clean the chimney ue and rebox of ashes, loose paint, soot, and creosote.
Creosote ignites if heated to a high temperature. A dirty chimney ue may distribute soot
within the house. Make sure that the qualied chimney cleaner inspects the chimney ue for damage.
NOTICE: Installation, service, and repair of this appliance must be performed by a qualied installer, service
agency, company, or gas supplier experienced with this type of gas appliance. Only factory-authorized parts
may be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction must be followed. Use of unauthorized parts or accessory items, or any alterations
to the kit, will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Using unauthorized parts or performing alterations may
also result in unsafe operating conditions.
Installation
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, the On/O Safety Pilot Valve Kit (see ACCESSORIES,
page 16) must be installed. A gas supply shuto valve must be installed if the replace does not have one.
VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Ensure the replace chimney ue and vent are drafting properly by doing the following:
1. Ignite a rolled newspaper or other paper on one end and place it at the inside front edge of the replace.
2. Watch the smoke and check that the vent is drawing it up the chimney.
3. If the smoke is not drawn up the chimney, extinguish the ame and remove obstructions in the chimney
until it vents properly.
The chimney ue must remain open a minimum of 3" at all times during the operation of this appliance.
Chimney dampers must be xed so that they maintain the minimum permanent vent opening at all times.
Installing a damper clamp to prevent the damper from accidentally closing is recommended (see page 8).
The minimum permanent opening (in square inches) is what must be provided by either the replace chimney or chimney damper to vent the ue gases. The minimum vent opening for dierent chimney heights can
be found on page 6 (Per 1.15.7.; ANSI 1.14.1B).

PREPARE DAMPER
The chimney damper must be xed open such that it always
maintains the minimum permanent vent opening. To achieve
this, a.) install a screw or bolt in the edge of the damper to
prevent the damper from closing, b.) drill a hole or holes in
the damper blade, or c.) install the provided damper clamp on
the edge of the damper blade (see Figure 2).
NOTE: In the State of Massachusetts, the chimney damper
must be removed or welded in the fully open position.
HEARTH KIT ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The following instructions apply to dual ame
“U”-style burners. Ensure all pipe-threaded connections
are tight, and use thread compound to prevent leaks.

WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
BEFORE INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Before installing the appliance, have the
fireplace and chimney professionally cleaned
to remove any soot, creosote, ashes, or other
obstructions. Perform this cleaning annually after installation.
• Turn o the gas supply to the replace or rebox.
• Clean the replace oor and chimney, seal any ash, and
clean out the doors to protect from any down drafts.
INSTALLATION AND GAS CONNECTION* (See Fig. 6 & 7)
1. Place the burner pan assembly in the center of the replace
oor. The front of the pan must face forward.
2. Install the 3/8" orice tting onto the burner inlet tting using
thread sealant on male threads of the burner inlet tting.
3. If the gas supply has an equipment shuto valve within
reach of lighting the log set, then thread the 1/2" connector
to the shuto valve. Use thread sealant.
4. If the gas supply does not have an equipment shuto valve
within reach, a manual gas valve is provided. Connect the
manual gas valve to gas supply pipe. Use thread sealant.
5. Attach the gas ex tube to the gas supply. Shape the tube
to attach to the orice tting.
CONNECTION TO GAS SUPPLY
Installation Items Needed:
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to natural gas)
• equipment shuto valve
• test gauge connection
Installation must include an equipment shuto valve, union,
and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate the NPT tap within reach
for test gauge hook up. The NPT tap must be upstream from
the appliance (see Figure 7).
A qualified service person must connect the
appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
Only use a new black iron or steel pipe.
Internally-tinned copper tubing may be
used in certain areas. Check local codes. To allow proper gas
volume to the appliance, use a pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater.
Loss of pressure occurs if the pipe is too small.
* In compliance with ANS Z21.60•CSA2.26 and National Fuel Gas Code, Section 6.
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• adjustable (crescent)
wrench or pliers
Fig. 6
IMPORTANT: Install the equipment shuto valve
in an accessible location. The equipment shuto
valve is used for turning on or shutting o the
gas to the appliance.
Lightly apply pipe joint sealant to the male
threads. This prevents excess sealant from going
into the pipe. A clogged burner injector may
result from excess sealant in the pipe.
Install the sediment trap in the supply line (see
Fig. 7). Locate the sediment trap so it can easily
be cleaned and where trapped material is unlikely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants, keeping them from going into the
appliance controls. The appliance may not operate correctly if the sediment trap is not installed
or is installed incorrectly.
