PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This appliance is clean burning. It requires

no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by

both realistic ames and glowing coals. This

appliance is designed for vent-free operation

with ue damper closed. It has been tested

and approved to the ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented appliances. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free appliances. This appliance may also be operated as a vented decorative (ANSI Z21.60) product

by opening the ue damper.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes. Read the following instructions to ensure proper fresh air for this and other fuelburning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy efcient than ever. New materials, increased insulation

and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Homeowners apply weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air

in. During heating months, homeowners want

their homes as airtight as possible. While it is good to make your home energy

efcient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh

air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, some replaces, clothes dryers

and some fuel-burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide

adequate fresh air for these appliances. That

will ensure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three

following ventilation classications:

SuperiorFireplaces.us.com

SAFETY DEVICE

This appliance has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff

system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature

for vent-free room appliances. The ODS/pilot shuts off the appliance if there is not enough fresh air.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

This appliance has an electronic Igniter to light appliance fuel supply.

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconned Space

3. Conned Space

The information on Pages 6-8 will help you

classify your space and provide adequate

ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion

and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide

additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is dened as

construction where: a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-

side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of

one perm (6 x 10

less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b. weather stripping has been added on

openable windows and doors and

c. caulking or sealants are applied to

areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates

and oors, between wall-ceiling joints,

between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.

If your home meets all three criteria above,

you must provide additional fresh air. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8. If your home does not meet all three criteria above,

proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location, Page 7.

Conned and Unconned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA54 allows two methods for determining whether the space in which the heater is being

-11

kg per pa-sec-m2) or

126816-01E6

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Continued

installed is conned or unconned space. The

standard method denes a conned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic

feet per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the ag-

gregate input rating of all appliances installed

in that space and an unconned space as

a space whose volume is not less than 50

cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of

the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances

are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconned space.

Where the air inltration rate of a structure is known, the Known Air Inltration Rate Method may be used. Follow The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 to use this method to determine if the space is conned or unconned.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Conned or Unconned Space Using the Standard

Method

Use this work sheet to determine if you have

a conned or unconned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install

replace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).

Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.

(volume of space)

Example

(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoining room

is supplied with grills or openings, add the

volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.

2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support) Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20

= 51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can

support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel-burning appliances in the space.

Vent-free replace __________ Btu/Hr Gas water heater* __________ Btu/Hr Gas furnace __________ Btu/Hr

Vented gas heater __________ Btu/Hr Gas replace logs __________ Btu/Hr Other gas appliances* + _________ Btu/Hr Total = _________ Btu/Hr * Do not include direct-vent gas appliances.

Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Example:

Gas water heater __________ Btu/Hr Vent-free replace + _________ Btu/Hr

Total = _________ Btu/Hr

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/ Hr used.

______Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support) ______Btu/Hr (actual amount used) Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the

space can support)

73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of

Btu/Hr used)

The space in the above example is a conned

space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an

adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconned space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside

Building, Page 8.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See

Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr

size makes room unconned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconned space. You will need no additional

fresh air ventilation.

40,000 33,000 73,000

WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated does not meet the required volume for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall 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.

MANTEL CLEARANCES

In addition to meeting noncombustible mate-

rial clearances, you must also meet required clearances between replace opening and

mantel shelf. If you do not meet the clearances

listed below, you will need a hood.

Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance

If you meet minimum clearance between

mantel shelf and top of replace opening, a hood is not required (see Figure 6).

Figure 6 - Minimum Mantel Clearances

Without Using Hood

Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance When Using a Hood

If minimum clearances in Figure 6, are not met, you must have a hood. When using a

hood there are still certain minimum mantel clearances required. Follow minimum clearances shown in Figure 7, when using hood.

NOTICE: Surface temperatures of adjacent walls and mantels become hot during operation. Walls and mantels

above the rebox may become hot to

the touch. If installed properly, these temperatures meet the requirement of the national product standard. Follow all minimum clearances shown in this manual.

NOTICE: If your installation does not meet the minimum clearances shown, you must do one of the following:

• operate the logs only with the

ue damper open

• raise the mantel to an acceptable height

• remove the mantel

FLOOR CLEARANCES

A. If installing appliance on the oor level,

you must maintain the minimum distance of 14" to combustibles (see Figure 8).

B. If combustible materials are less than

14" to the replace, you must install appliance at least 5" above the top surface

of combustible ooring including tile and

carpet (see Figure 9).

Figure 8 - Minimum Fireplace Clearances

Figure 7 - Minimum Mantel Clearances

Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance.

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP

ACCESSORY (REQUIRED FOR VENTED APPLICATIONS)

NOTE: When used as a vented appliance, it must be installed only in a solid-fuel-burning

replace with a working ue and constructed

of noncombustible material.

For Massachusetts Residents Only: Installation of this gas log set as a vented appliance in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts re-

quires the damper be permanently removed

or welded in the fully open position. If your appliance is a manually-controlled

model, you may use this appliance as a

vented product. There are three reasons for operating your appliance in the vented mode.

1. The replace does not meet the clearance to combustibles requirements for vent-

free operation.

2. State or local codes do not permit ventfree operation.

3. You prefer vented operation.

If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you must permanently open chimney ue

damper. You must install the damper clamp accessory (to order, see Accessories, Pages

34-35). This will ensure vented operation (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep

damper open. Installation instructions are included with clamp accessory.

See chart below for minimum permanent ue

opening you must provide. Attach damper clamp so the minimum permanent ue opening will be maintained at all times.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance

requires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to

the pressure regulator.

WARNING: A qualied service

person must connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect

propane/LP replace directly

to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regu-

lator (not supplied). Install the

external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: Never connect

natural gas replace 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 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.

For propane/LP units, the installer must

supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" 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 13. Pointing the vent down

protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

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.

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 heater. 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. Lo-

cate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from appliance

(see Figure 14). IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve

in an accessible location. The equipment

shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14, Page 14. 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.

CAUTION: Avoid damage to gas control. Hold gas control with wrench when connecting

it to gas piping and/or ttings.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame

patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 54 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. Figure 55 shows an incorrect pilot ame pat-

tern. The incorrect pilot ame is not touching

the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-

couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,

the appliance will shut down.

If pilot ame pattern is incorrect, as shown

in Figure 55.

• turn appliance off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, Page 26

• see Troubleshooting, Page 29

NOTE: The pilot ame on natural gas units will have a slight curve, but ame should be blue

and have no yellow or orange color.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave selector switch in the REMOTE or ON position when pilot is not lit. This will drain the battery.

NOTE: Do not hold hand-held remote for a long time. Body temperature will affect its operation in the AUTO mode.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off appliance and

let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner and circulating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualiﬁed service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

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 ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air in-

let 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 qualied service person.

We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI.

Your 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 56).

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 ame may indicate dust and dirt in the

pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet

hole about from where the pilot ame comes

out of pilot assembly (see Figure 57). 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 In-

stalling Logs, Embers and Volcanic Stone,

Pages 17-24, to properly replace logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-

sized or larger).

MAIN BURNER

Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with appliance running. All slotted burner ame holes should be open with ame present. All round burner ame holes should be open with a small blue ame present. Some burner ame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with no ame present. If so, turn off appliance and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner ame holes will create soot.

WARNING: The injector holders (air shutters) are not adjustable. Do not move injector holders from their original positions.

THE WARRANTY

Innovative Hearth Products Limited Three Year Warranty ("IHP") warrants your Superior® brand Gas Log Set ("Product") to be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. The logs and grate carry the Limited Three Year Warranty. After installation, if covered components manufactured by IHP are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the Limited Three Year Warranty period and while the Product remains at the site of the original installation, IHP will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. If repair or replacement is not commercially practical, IHP will, at its option, refund the purchase price or wholesale price of the IHP product, whichever is applicable. IHP will also pay IHP prevailing labor rates, as determined in its sole discretion, incurred in repairing or replacing such components. THERE ARE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS to this Limited Three Year Warranty as described herein.

COVERAGE COMMENCEMENT DATE

Warranty coverage begins on the date of purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on the date of ﬁrst occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the Product by an independent IHP dealer, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of product shipment from IHP, regardless of the installation or occupancy date.

Parts not otherwise listed carry a 90 day warranty from the date of installation.

Whenever practicable, IHP will provide replacement parts, if available, for a period of 10 years from the last date of manufacture of the product.

IHP will not be responsible for: (a) damages caused by normal wear and tear, accident, riot, ﬁre, ﬂood or acts of God; (b) damages caused by abuse, negligence, misuse, or unauthorized alteration or repair of the Product affecting its stability or performance (The Product must be subjected to normal use. The Product is designed to burn either natural or propane gas only. Burning conventional fuels such as wood, coal or any other solid fuel will cause damage to the Product, will produce excessive temperatures and could result in a ﬁre hazard.); (c) damages caused by failing to provide proper maintenance and service in accordance with the instructions provided with the Product; (d) damages, repairs or inefﬁciency resulting from faulty installation or application of the Product.

This Limited Three Year Warranty covers only parts and labor as provided herein.

It is expressly agreed and understood that IHP’s sole obligation and the purchaser’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, under any other warranty, expressed or implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as speciﬁed herein.

In no event shall IHP be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the Product, whether such damage occurs or is discovered before or after replacement or repair, and whether such damage is caused by IHP’s negligence.
