IMPORTANT - Read This Manual Carefully Before Starting Installation of the Log Set

When the log set is burning, the ﬁ replace damper must be fully open. The gas log set is

to be burned only in a fully vented, noncombustible ﬁ replace with damper and chimney free of any obstructions. The ﬁ replace must be designed and approved to burn wood. As with burning natural ﬁrewood, the log set is designed to burn with yellow , smoky ﬂ ames . For this reason, it must be adequately vented. If adequate ventilation is not provided as detailed on this instruction, do not use this log set. If fumes from the burner emerge into the room when the damper is fully open, creating a smell like a smoldering oil lamp, it indicates that the ﬁ replace draft is defective. Check chimney ﬂ ue for obstructions. Do not operate the log set until the ﬁ replace draft is corrected. Check with the dealer or installer. Do not use ﬁ rewood with the gas log set.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Important: To comply with certiﬁ cation, listings, and building code acceptances, and for safe operation

and proper performance of this log set, use ONLY parts and accessories. Use of other controls, parts, and accessories that are not designed for use with gas log sets is prohibited and will void all warranties, certiﬁ cations, listings, and building code approvals, and may cause property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Check to be sure the ﬁ replace meets venting and construction requirements for the installation of the gas log set (see FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS section, below).

Be sure your gas log set is properly sized for your ﬁ replace. Improper sizing may negatively impact the

proper drafting of the ﬁ replace. Additionally, too large a log set will adversely affect the burn and hamper the proper operation of the control system. Too small a log set will diminish the beauty of your hearth setting. Fig. 4-1 below shows the critical dimensions of your ﬁ rebox. The table below shows log set dimensions.

FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS

This gas log set is to be installed only in a fully vented, noncombustible ﬁ replace with an open damper. The chimney must be free of any obstructions. The ﬁ replace must be designed and approved to burn wood. Your log set is designed to burn with yellow, smoky ﬂ ames. For this reason, it must be adequately vented.

Check to be sure the gas log set is designed for the proper gas type. The log sets are designed for use

with natural gas unless clearly labeled for propane gas. Sets designed for use with propane gas must be installed with a safety pilot system. Never use propane gas in a log set designed for natural gas or natural gas in a log set designed for use with propane gas.

The ﬁ replace must have a gas-supply line that has been installed by a qualiﬁ ed technician in accordance with all local codes. The gas-supply line must be ½" minimum interior diameter. If the gas line to the ﬁ replace is longer than 20', a larger-diameter line may be necessary.

A ﬁ replace screen must be in place when the system is burning. Provisions for adequate

combustion air must be maintained. Unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction of combustion air. Combustion air is adequate when all ﬂ ames curl into the ﬁ replace and away from the screen. When a glass ﬁ replace enclosure (door)

is used, leave the doors fully open when the system is in operation.

Required Gas Pressure: The minimum inlet gas-

supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is 7" of water column (w.c.) for natural gas and 11" w.c. for propane. The maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is 10.5" w.c. for natural gas and 13" for propane.

NOTE: LOGS SUPPLIED SEPARATELY.

Log placement is very important for the proper operation of the gas log set. Although you have some ﬂ

exibility in the log arrangement, it is necessary to follow the LOG PLACEMENT instructions carefully to fully enjoy your log set. Follow the steps below, referring to Fig. 7-1 through Fig. 7-5.

1. The second-longest log, the rear log, is placed on the rear of the grate with the bark of the log facing forward (Fig. 7-1). Center the log left to right (Fig. 7-5, #1).

2. The longest log, the front log, is placed on the front of the grate with the bark facing forward. Center left to right (Fig. 7-2, #2). NOTE: Be sure to maintain a

space between the front and rear logs (Fig. 7-1).

3. Top logs should be stacked diagonally, with the

largest at the bottom (Fig. 7-3, #3 & 4), and with spaces between the logs so that the ﬂ ames are not choked off. Place the smaller logs diagonally across the larger ones (see Fig. 7-4, #5 & #6). The top logs may be moved to achieve desired ﬂ ame pattern. Some carbon buildup (sooting) may occur where the ﬂ ames impinge on the logs and should not be a concern unless excessive. If sooting is excessive, rearrange the top logs to reduce ﬂ ame impingement. Examples of log stacks are shown below.

Note: Although log styles may differ in pattern or shape ( Fig. 7-6), layout is essentially the same. Adequate

spacing between the logs is NECESSARY and MUST be maintained for best performance.

Attach the ember screen to the burner by slipping it onto the back edge (center left to right) with the perforated section facing toward the back ﬁ replace wall (Fig. 8-1). Cover the surface of the ember screen with the Glowing Embers (Fig. 8-2). For best glowing performance, they should be applied evenly and pulled slightly apart so the ﬁ bers are somewhat loose. (It is not necessary to pile the entire bag of the Glowing Embers. More Glowing Embers may be added after completion of the entire installation).

LOG PLACEMENT

Log styles and sizes will vary depending upon the Charred Series log set ordered.

CHARRED SPLIT (CHS) layout shown.

Place the long bottom rear log (Log #2) on the back of the grate with the ﬂ at featureless side facing the rear of the ﬁ replace. The two sections of the front log (Logs #1A & 1B) are placed on the front of the grate with the charred sections facing each other and approximately 1 inch apart at the top (Fig. 8-3). Slide the logs to the front of the grate.

Note: Be sure to maintain a space between the

front and rear logs (Fig. 8-3).

Place the two curved logs (Logs #3 & 4) so that one end rests on each front log section (Logs #1A & 1B) and the other end rests on the rear log (Log #2). The charred sections should be over the opening between the front and rear logs (Fig. 8-4).

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

Maintenance

Once installed and operating properly, your gas log set will require regular maintenance. You should inspect your log set and controls (where installed) for the following:

1. Excessive sooting - Some sooting of your log set is normal, adding to the appearance of burned wood. If excessive sooting accumulates, clean the logs using any of the following options:

Option 1. Spray the logs with clean water when they are being burned and hot.

The soot will lift off and burn off.

Option 2. Brush the soot off with a stiff brush when the logs are cold.

Do not use water or soot cleaners at the same time as brushing the soot off.

2. Moisture may cause the sand/vermiculite and glowing embers in your burner pan to settle. To improve the

burn, follow these tips.

a. Settling of sand (or vermiculite) - Using a screwdriver or ﬂ at-blade knife, carefully stir the sand/

vermiculite, loosening the material. Clear up any spills.

b. Embers - Break up any clumps that may have formed, then redistribute the embers on the

sand/vermiculite.

3. Debris around the control (where used) - Inspect control and pilot to be sure it is free of dirt or debris.

Service

While some minor service conditions may be handled by the owner of the log set, it is recommended that a qualiﬁ ed professional service technician be called to maintain and service the gas log set and any installed control system. The TROUBLESHOOTING section of these instructions serves as a guide for ensuring optimum performance of your gas log set.

OPTIONAL CONTROLS

THIS UNIT COMES WITHOUT A VALVE INSTALLED. IT MAY BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO AND OPERATED BY YOUR FIREPLACE VALVE.

Alternatively, your gas log set may be operated using a number of optional control systems (see below). The control systems are engineered to provide convenient, safe, and reliable operation of your gas log set.

For safe operation, proper performance, and to comply with safety standards and certiﬁ cations, use only control systems, parts, and accessories with your log set. If you have purchased a valve
