PROVISIONS FOR ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion ventilation air.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (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 ope nings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the
Today's homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy efficient, you need fresh air. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion.
SUPPLYING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
This appliance must be installed in an unconfined space. The following information will help you classify yo ur space
and provide adequate ventilation for complete combustion. An Unconfined Space has a minimum volume of 50 cubic
feet for each 1000 BTU/Hr input rating of all appliances in the space. (4.8 m3 per kw), (cubic feet equals length x width x height of space).
A Confined Space has a volume of less than 50 cubic feet for each 1000 BTU/Hr input rating of all appliances in the space, (4.8 m3 per kw), (cubic feet equals length x width x height of space).
DETERMINING IF YOU HAVE A CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE.
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater 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: Space size 25 ft. (length) x 25 ft. (width) x 8 ft.
(ceiling height) = 5,000 cu. ft. (volume of space)
? If additional ventilation from adjoining room(s) is supplied
with grills or doorless openings, add the volume of these rooms to compute the total volume of the applicable space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support.
? ________(volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = (Maximum
BTU/Hr the space can support.
? Example: 5,000 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. =
100 or 100,000 (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the BTU/Hr of all gas burning appliances in the space.
Gas range ________________BTU/Hr Vented gas heater __________BTU/Hr Gas fireplace logs ___________BTU/Hr Other gas appliances* + ______BTU/Hr Total = _____BTU/Hr
Example: Gas range 60,000 BTU/Hr
Vent-free logs +29,000 BTU/Hr Total =89,000 BTU/Hr
? *Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent
draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
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 of BTU/Hr used)
Example: 100,000 BTU/Hr (maximum the space can support) 89,000 BTU/Hr (actual amount of BTU/Hr used)
The space in the above example is an unconfined space because the actual BTU/Hr used is less than the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support. If the space had been confined, your options would be as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining
room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building.
B. Install a lower BTU/Hr heater, if lower BTU/Hr size
makes room unconfined.
CONVERTING CONFINED SPACE TO UNCONFINED SPACE.
Additional volume to convert a confined to an unconfined space could come from an adjoining space. When using an adjoining spac e, you can provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, figure 2), or remove the door into the adjoining room.
VENTILATION AIR FROM OUTDOORS FOR UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section
5.3 or applicable codes.

PROVISIONS FOR ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction
where: a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere
have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10.11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or 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 floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at ot her openings.
Figure
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air.
You may provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.
Figure 2 Ventilation Air from Inside
WARNING: Air openings that provide fresh air from an adjoining unconfined space shall not be blocked or obstructed in any way. Installation of unit should allow a minimum of 2" clearance from any part of the heater to any of the ventilation openings.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Open the carton and remove the logs and the chassis. Remove each of the logs by gripping at either end of the log while avoidin g any undue pressure.
The carton for each model contains the following: grate/ burner assembly, front,middle and rear logs, top twig, 2 screws, 2 brackets and a bag of volcanic ash.
FIREPLACE PREPARATION
The fireplace needs to be prepared before installing the unit:
A. Turn off the gas supply if the gas line has been run to the
fireplace.
B. WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burning
fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
? Note: If your fireplace has been cleaned using chemi-
cals or solvents, these products may have been absorbed into the fireplace hearth and walls and will be burned off during the initial break-in period.
C. Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the fireplace
shall be permanently closed and sealed at the time of appliance installation. This will prevent drafts from disturbing the flames and interfering with complete combustion of the gas fuel.
LOCATION
When gas logs are to be installed in a fireplace, inspect the area surrounding it for possible air drafts that may affect the flames and possibly cause sooting. Such drafts may be caused by a ceiling fan near the fireplace, a hot air furnace register or an open door. When burning the logs, carefully observe the effect of possible drafts on the flames and take appropriate measures to eliminate them. For example, the ceiling fan may be cut off, the hot air register closed, etc.
Centrally locate the gas logs in the fireplace deep enough into the firepit to accomplish an adequate draft (if use as a vented appliance is planned). Ensure that the grate’s front feet sit inside the front edge of the fireplace. Be sure fireplace meets minimum fireplace dimensions.
To avoid any movement of the unit during operation, screw the chassis to the floor of the fireplace using the screws provided. Failure to do so could cause gas leaks.
Holes are provided just behind the front grate legs, and should be used for securement of the log set. After locating the chassis correctly in the fireplace, mark the hole positions on the fireplace floor. Drill two 1/8” diameter holes approximately 1/2" deep.
Use the two screws to secure the chassis to the fireplace floor, (see figure 3).

WARNING
DANGER OF PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
MAKE SURE THE HEATER IS EQUIPPED TO OPERATE ON THE TYPE OF GAS AVAILABLE. MODELS DESIGNATED AS NATURAL GAS ARE TO BE USED WITH NATURAL GAS ONLY. HEATERS DESIGNATED FOR USE WITH LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) GAS HAVE ORIFICES SIZED FOR COMMERCIALLY PURE PROPANE GAS. THEY CANNOT BE USED WITH BUTANE OR A MIXTURE OF BUTANE AND PROPANE.
GAS PIPING. The gas supply line must be of an adequate
size to handle the BTU/HR requirements and length of the run for the unit being installed.
Determine the minimum pipe size from the piping size chart on page 9. The normal gas connection at this appliance is 1/2" NPT made at the left of the unit.
Always use an an external regulator for all LP installations to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum of 14"
Figure 4D:
WC. This is in addition to the regulator fitted to the heater.
All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances or with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1), whichever applies.
GAS CONNECTION. If installation is for L.P. gas, have L. P. installer use two-stage regulation and make all connections from storage tank to heater. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code for the proper supply tank size with the Btu's/Hr requirements. If this is the ONLY gas appliance, we recommend a minimum 200 pound cylinder with a fill gauge. Use of a 100 pound cylinder is not recommended. Other household gas appliances may require the tank size to be larger.
Use pipe wrenches when making the connection to the valve to prevent turning or damage to gas valve.
Connection between the manual shutoff valve and the gas valve can be made with an CSA design certified flexible connector if allowed by local codes. A drip leg (sediment trap) must be installed, (see figure 5). Tighten all joints securely.
CAUTION: Failure to install a drip leg (sediment trap) may result in improper combustion that will produce soot. Reference Sections 3.7 and 5.5.7 and Figure 5.5.7 of the National Fuel Gas Code for guidance.
WARNING: Connecting directly to an unregulated LP tank can cause an explosion.

WARNING
DANGER OF PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS. NEVER EXCEED SPECIFIED PRESSURES FOR TESTING. HIGH PRESSURES MAY DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE REGULATOR WHICH WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. LIQUID PETROLEUM (L.P.) IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND IT WILL SETTLE IN ANY LOW AREA, INCLUDING OPEN DEPRESSIONS AND IT WILL REMAIN THERE UNLESS AREA IS VENTILATED.
NEVER ATTEMPT START-UP OF UNIT BEFORE THOROUGHLY VENTILATING AREA.
If you connect natural gas to an LP gas unit, you may be unable to ignite the pilot. If the pilot does ignite, the front burner flame on the low setting will be bright blue but only 1/4” to 1/2” long and most likely lifting off the burner ports. If this is the case, turn the unit off immediately and contact the
dealer wher e the unit was purchased.
If you connect LP gas to a natural gas unit, the front burner flame on the low setting will be about 6” - 8” long. On the medium and high setting, the front burner flames wi ll be bright yellow and about 10” in length. Turn the unit off immediately! If the unit is allowed to run in this condition, substantial amounts of soot will be generated and emitted into the house. contact the dealer where the unit was
purchased.
POSITIONING LOGS
1.Unpack and identify the four (4) logs by referring to Figures 6A, 6B and 6C.
2.Position back log into “V” log retainers ensuring that back grate uprights are positioned in log notches.
3.Position front log with front grate bars fitting into log notches. Log must fit down onto grate bars. (No gap under log).
4.Position middle log so notches in log fit snugly onto log retaining bars. NOTE: Pin on left hand side of grate prevents log from moving forward which would create flame impingement from the yellow flame burner.
5. Position log retaining clip parallel with back edge of middle log. Push pointed end of clip into log and fasten clip to bar with screw provided. NOTE: This clip maintains upright position of middle log to optimize glowing ember front surface. (See clip location in Figure 6A).
When you have completed these steps, compare log positions with Figure 6A. The logs must be positioned as illustrated.
The top twig may be positioned as shown in either Figure 6B or Figure 6C.
The top twig must be placed in the notches provided on top of the rear and center logs. The front of the top twig is to rest of the large knot on the front log.
Caution: Proper location is critical. When positioning the log set, make sure that the logs do not interfere with the sides of the fireplace before securing the chassis.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Although your gas logs are very realistic in appearance it is not a real wood-burning fireplace and must be used for burning rej ected material.
To avoid irreparable damage to the appliance or personal injury; matches, paper, garbage or any other material must not be placed or thrown on top of the logs or into the flames.
To avoid personal injury, do not touch hot surfaces when the appliance is operating.
Touch only the piezo button and control knob. Avoid contact with the front screen, canopy or any other part which will be very hot.
Always ensure that the fireplace screen is in place when the appliance is operating. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is being operated near children.
Do not use to cook food. If this is the ONLY gas appliance, we recommend a minimum 200 pound cylinder with a fill gauge. Use of a 100 pound cylinder is not recommended. Other household gas appliances may require the tank size to be larger. Do
MATCH LIGHTING
If the pilot cannot be ignited with the piezo, it can be manually lit with the use of a match and lighter rod.
1. Place the match in the holder and light. With the right hand, depress and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the PILOT position. Hold in
not operate the vent free fireplace if the fuel level in the propane tank is below 1/4 full.
WARNING: The glowing ember base and all the logs are manufactured from bonded ceramic fiber. This is a commonly used material in industry worldwide. In the event of the logs and base being removed, care should be taken not to damage the bonded material. Intentional misuse of, or deliberately fragmenting, the material could lead to inhaling fibers and be injurious to health. Insure the logs are properly
This appliance is intended to be used only for supplemental heat. Do not use it routinely as a primary heat source. Continuous operation could produce excessive humidity depending on construction characteristics and outdoor temperatures (below 200F) Over time, this could cause condensation to form and damage wall structures and exterior paint. Do not use this product duri ng building construction. Dust, debris, paint
2. Take the lighter rod and lighted match and ignite the pilot.
3. Continue to hold the control knob for an additional 20 seconds to ensure pilot is maintained.
4. Proceed with step 8 in lighting instructions on page 11.
FLAME CHECK
A periodic visual check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when the appliance is in operation. See figure 22.
In normal operation (at full rate for approximately 15 min­utes) the following flame appearance should be observed:
Front Blue Flame Burner: The flame should burn blue with absolute minimal to no yellow flames visible. Height of flame should be approximately 3” on high.
Figure 21
Figure 23
Rear Yellow Flame Burner: The flame should be yellow in
color and should extend 6 to 8 inches above the large front logs.
Typical flame shape as seen in Figure 22. NOTE: For your safety, the appliance is equipped with an
oxygen depletion system. The system senses the oxygen in the atmosphere and switches off the gas supply in case the level of oxygen falls below a safe level. It must not be
altered in any way.

MANAGING HEAT OUTPUT
The heat output from the appliance can be controlled by the position of the flue damper on vented fireplaces.
The damper setting should be fully closed for maximum heat output, partially closed for less heat output and fully open for minimum heat output.
The appliance may be used in a working solid fuel burning fireplace with the fuel damper closed only if unvented appliances are permitted by local state and city codes. It may also be operated as a decorative appliance whose
The heat output from the appliance when operated as a vent -free heater may be controlled by adjusting the main gas valve and by turning the front (blue flame) burner on or off. Reference lighting instructions on page, and chart on page 3. showing inputs at all the settings.
The main gas valve may be adjusted anywhere between high and low to give the desired combination of flame aesthetics and heat output. The blue flame front burner control must be turned fully to either the “ON” or “OFF” position.
prime function lies in the aesthetic effect of the flames when installed in a solid fuel burning fireplace with the flue damper open. If unvented heaters are not permitted, the fireplace vent damper must be locked at a minimum free (vent) area of 15 sq. ins.
Whenever the appliance is operated with the fireplace's flue damper closed, glass doors - if present - must be open and the outside air damper and the ash dump (if the fireplace is equipped with either one) must be closed.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
CAUTION: Before cleaning or moving logs or other parts of
the unit, be sure to read the section on important safeguards.
Cleaning should be done before the logs are used each year and after long periods of non-use. Professional servicing is recommended.
All cleaning should be carried out when the appliance is cold.
Only limited cleaning will be required under normal use. Dusting the front grate or the control knob panel may be required occasionally. Do not use any cleaning fluids to clean the logs or any other part of the appliance.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if the burner(s) fail to ignite properly, then the burner holes may require cleaning. If this occurs contact your nearest dealer to get the appliance serviced.
Alternatively, the appliance can be cleaned by removing the logs. Handle the logs gently so as not to damage them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each end.
After the logs are removed allowing access to the burner area, use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dust and loose particles from the base, logs and from around the burner. Gloves are recommended when handling the logs. Use extreme caution in clearing around the pilot (ODS). The pilot should not be moved or altered from the original factory setting (Pilot to burner preset location). The burner should not be removed or taken out of it’s locked and secure position (proper location of burners are critical). Lack of proper maintenance may void warranty.
