PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
The fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on flat wood, ply­wood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be sure fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing for sup­port and so that no cold air can enter the room from under the fireplace.
The fireplace may be positioned and then the framing built around it, or the framing may be constructed and the fireplace positioned into the opening.
Usually, no special floor support is needed for the fireplace, however, to be certain:
1. Estimate the total weight of the fireplace system and surround materials such as brick, stone, etc., to be installed.
2. Measure the square footage of the floor space to be occupied by the system, surrounds and hearth extensions.
3. Note the floor construction, i.e. 2 x 6’s, 2 x 8s or 2 x 10s, single or double joists, type and thickness of floor boards.
4. Use this information and consult your local building code to determine if you need addi­tional support.
If you plan to raise the fireplace and hearth extension, build the platform assembly then position fireplace and hearth extension on top. Secure the platform to the floor to prevent possible shifting.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
The typical sequence of installation follows, however, each installation is unique resulting in variations to those described.
1. Construct the appliance framing.
2. Route gas supply line to appliance location.
A
3. Position the appliance.
4. Install the vent system and exterior termination.
5. Field wire and install operating control switch.
6. Make connection to gas supply.
7. Install (optional) outside Air Kit.
8. Install the logs and rockwool.
9. Checkout appliance operation.
10. Adjust burner to ensure proper flame
appearance.
INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE
Step 1. Frame appliance enclosure as illus-
trated in
Note: The framed depth, 20 from a framed wall, must always be mea­sured from a finished surface. If a wall cover­ing such as drywall is to be attached to the rear wall, then the 20 measured from the drywall surface. It is im­portant that this dimension be exact.
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor level, a solid continuous platform must be constructed.
The header may rest on the top metal spacers, but must not be notched to fit around them.

Step 2. Route gas line (
Figure 8
) using tech-
niques and materials prescribed by local and/or national codes. It is recommended that a gas line of ¹⁄₂" or greater diameter be used to allow full gas volume to the fireplace. Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small. The appliance, as set up at the factory, is best suited for use with a gas line routed from the right side. The gas line may however be alternately routed from the left side.
When rigid pipe is used, an ANSI approved manual shut-off valve and union must be in­stalled upstream of the fireplace.
Ensure that a sediment trap is installed in the existing gas line, if not, install a sediment trap upstream to prevent moisture and contaminants from passing through trap to the appliance con­trols and burners. Failure to do so could prevent the appliance from operating reliably.
An external regulator must be used on all pro­pane (L.P.G.) heaters to reduce the supply tank pressure to 13" w.c. (maximum). Any copper tubing used to supply propane (L.P.G.) from the tank must be internally tinned.
IMPORTANT: HOLD GAS VALVE SECURELY TO PREVENT MOVEMENT WHEN CONNECT­ING TO INLET GAS LINE
WARNING: CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO AN UNREGULATED PROPANE (L.P.G.) TANK MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN THE FIREPLACE TOP SPACERS (
FIGURE 2
) BE REMOVED OR MODIFIED,
SEE
NOR MAY YOU NOTCH THE HEADER TO FIT AROUND OR BE INSTALLED LOWER THAN THE SPACERS. THE HEADER MAY BE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE TOP SPACERS BUT MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED BY THEM.
Fireplace should be secured to side framing members using the full length ¹⁄₂ inch nailing flanges that are integral to the appliance at each side. Use 8d nails.
Note: The nailing tabs and the area directly behind the nailing tabs are exempt from the clearances described on the fireplace clearance label.
Step 4. Install the Vent System and Exterior Termination
A - Connect a 6" (152 mm) Type B vent system
to the appliance flue collar with four (4) No. 8 sheet metal screws
(Figure 9 )
and install the
remainder of the Type B vent to the outside.

b - Minimum overall height of the vent system and appliance must be 15' (4.57 m) when an offset, more than 45 degrees but less than 60 degrees from the vertical, is used. There must be a minimum vertical vent height of 2 ft (0.6 m) above the appliance collar before the offset can be applied.
3 - With Offset, when using the optional, 36GEP or 36GEP-BB, non-operable glass doors
Minimum overall height of the vent system and appliance must be 12' (3.66 m) when an offset up to 60 degrees from the vertical is used. The lower part of the offset may start at the appliance flue collar.
Maximum overall height of the vent system and appliance should not exceed 40 feet (12.19 m).
Install the B-vent system in accordance with the vent manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE CANNOT BE VENTED HORIZONTALLY.
All appliances are equipped with a gas flex line and shutoff valve attached directly to the gas control valve. To quickly and easily complete the gas line routing, use the gas flex line kit.

When first lighting the appliance, it will take a few minutes for the line to purge itself of air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the in­struction manual.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require such purging. Inspect the pilot flame (remove logs, if necessary, handling carefully).
MANUALLY-RESET BLOCKED FLUE SAFETY SWITCH
This appliance is equipped with a manually­reset blocked flue safety switch. Refer to
Figure 19
for its location. If during appliance operation, the flame goes out (independently of the burner on/off wall switch), it may be due to the operation of this safety limit switch. First allow the appliance to cool. Then reset the safety switch by pushing the red reset button on the back of the switch.
CAUTION: THE ELECTRONIC APPLIANCE SHOULD BE TURNED OFF BEFORE REMOV­ING THE LIMIT SWITCH.
To access the safety limit switch reset button, remove the two screws. Pull out limit switch with low voltage wires attached, push the reset button, then reinstall the limit switch. At this time turn the electronic appliance back on.
The appliance should then relight and remain lit. If this does not occur, turn off the appli-
ance and call a qualified service technician.
Millivolt Appliance Checkout
The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or floating. Flame should be blue in color with traces of orange at the outer edge.
The top ³⁄₈" (9 mm) at the pilot generator (thermo­pile) should be engulfed in the pilot flame. The flame should project 1" (25 mm) beyond the hood at all three ports

Step 10. Adjustments – The following para-
graphs address adjustment concerns and procedures.
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste. Generally most people prefer the warm glow of a yellow to orange flame. Appliances operated with air shutter openings that are too large, or with long vertical vent runs, will exhibit flames that are blue and transparent. These weak, blue and transparent flames are termed anemic.
If the air shutter opening is too small sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing at the tips of very long orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits form­ing on the logs, appliance inside surfaces and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termi­nation. Sooting is caused by incomplete com­bustion in the flames and a lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening.
If sooting conditions exist, the air shutter opening on the main burner can be adjusted. Normally, the more offsets in the vent system, the greater the need for the air shutter to be opened further.
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
Adjustment
To adjust the flame, position the air shutter to the nominal setting burner to operate for at least 30 minutes. Ob­serve the flame continuously. If it appears weak or sooty as previously described, adjust the air shutter open or closed until desired effect is achieved.
Note: If the flame still appears anemic with the air shutter closed all the way (usually a result of lengthy vertical venting runs), turn off the appliance, turn off the gas supply, wait for the parts to cool and access the air shutter. The shutter is prevented from actually closing by a tab that is bent over into the opening. Remove this obstruction by bending back. Reassemble and restart the appliance and after 30 minutes reobserve the flame. Adjust the air shutter as described.
