CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: This appliance requires a 1/2"
NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection
to the pressure regulator.
WARNING: A qualifi ed service person must
connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP appliance directly to the propane/LP supply.
This appliance requires an external regulator
(not supplied). Install the external regulator
between the appliance and propane/LP supply .
WARNING: Never connect natural gas appliance to private (non-utility) gas wells. This
gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing appliance, make sure you have the items
listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved fl exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by
local codes) (not provided
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the
optional equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

)
SuperiorFireplaces.us.com
For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external
regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas
pressure. Y ou must reduce incoming gas pressure to between
1 1" and 14" of water . If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, appliance regulator damage could occur. Install external
regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 1 1.
Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or
steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing
may be used in certain areas. Check your
local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or
greater to allow proper gas volume to appliance. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume
will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union
and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for
test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from appliance (see Figure 12, Page 9).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an acces-
sible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on
or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for
locating equipment shutoff valve to appliances.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will
prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant
in pipe could result in clogged appliance valves.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is
resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply
line as shown in Figure 12. Locate sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel
supply and appliance. Locate sediment trap where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture
and contaminants. This keeps them from going into appliance
controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong,
appliance may not run properly.

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot fl ame pattern and burner fl ame patterns often.
PILOT ASSEMBL Y
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper fl ame height.
Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling.
Call a qualifi ed service person to readjust the pilot if necessary .
The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to 1/2" above the
pilot fl ame as shown in Figure 28. The thermocouple must be
at a height of about 1/8" above the pilot fl ame. The fl ame from
the pilot burner must extend beyond both the thermocouple
and thermopile.
If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:
• turn fi replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, Page
15)

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air
opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result
in sooting and property damage.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR
INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to
mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning fl ame. Keep
these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air
inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will
create soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every three
months during operation and have appliance inspected yearly
by a qualifi ed service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot
assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. T o clean these parts
we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI.
Y our local computer store, hardware store or home center may
carry compressed air in a can. If using compressed air in a
can, please follow the directions on the can. If you don’t follow
directions on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow unit to cool for at least
thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on injector
holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 31, Page 17).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.
4. Check injector holder located at end of burner tube again.
Remove any large particles of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with
a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.

6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed
into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean pilot assembly also. Additional cleaning may be needed
for proper pilot operation based on use/lack of use. A yellow tip
on the pilot fl ame may indicate dust and dirt in the pilot assem-
bly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about from where the
pilot fl ame comes out of pilot assembly (see Figure 32). With
unit off, lightly blow air through air inlet hole. You may blow
through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.

LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Logs and
Volcanic Stone, Page 11, to properly replace logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-sized or larger).
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner fl ame holes with appliance running.
All slotted burner fl ame holes should be open with fl ame present.
All round burner fl ame holes should be open with a small blue fl ame present. Some burner fl ame holes may become blocked
by debris or rust, with no fl ame present. If so, turn off appliance
and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner fl ame holes will
create soot.
WARNING: The injector holders (air shut-
ters) are not adjustable. Do not move injector
holders from their original positions.
At least once a year, the vent system for the
fi replace in which this appliance is installed
shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired as
necessary by a qualifi ed service person.
