• An unvented room heater having an input rating of more

than 10,000 btu per hour shall not be installed in a bedroom or a bathroom.

For Installation of High Altitude

When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet (in the United States), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for each 1,000 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.

Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for your location.

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 openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.

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 your 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 M 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, (4.8M3 per kw), (cubic feet equals length x width x height of space).

per kw), (cubic feet equals length x width x

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’ (length) x 25’ (width) x 8’ (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:

or 100,000 (maximum BTU/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the BTU/Hr of all gas burning appliances in the space.

Example:

*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:

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 space, 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 3, 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 air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.

78570

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 other openings.

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.

NOTE: For round flue opening, minimum flue diameter (d) = 5”. For square or rectangular opening, length x width (L x W) must equal 15 sq. in.

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 avoiding any undue pressure. Please note that the logs have been marked for positive identification.

The carton for all models contains the following: grate/burner assembly, front and rear logs, 2 top twigs, 2 screws, a bag of volcanic ash and a bag of embers.

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 logs in fireplace, the

chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner or sooting will occur.

Note: If your fireplace has been cleaned using chemicals 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 front feet of the grate 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 in the sheet metal chassis (Fig. 3) and should be used for securing 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. (Fig. 3)

Clearances

NOTE: The following instructions regarding installation clear-

ances and the use and installation of a canopy apply to use of the appliances as an unvented space heater in permitting jurisdictions. When installed as a vented decorative gas appliance, the clearances noted below and the use of a heatdeflecting canopy are not required.

However, it is recommended that these instructions be followed even when the appliance will be used as a vented decorative appliance in case local codes change to allow unvented space heaters or in the event that the flue damper is inadvertently closed.

Clearances for unvented installation in existing fireplaces, (jurisdiction permitting)

1. Sidewall Clearances: Clearances from the side of the fireplace opening to any combustible wall should not be less than 2”. (Fig. 4A and 4B)

2. Ceiling Clearances: The ceiling height should not be less than 62" from the top of the fireplace opening. (Fig. 4A)

3. Mantel Clearances: The use of a canopy* is optional depending on mantel clearances to the fireplace opening and projection profile.

NOTE: Mantel clearances may differ for each vent-free firebox. Refer to the firebox installation instructions for clearances.

A. Mantel profile: The minimum distance above the

fireplace opening to combustible material projecting 1¹⁄₂" (tile moldings, breast boards, etc.) is 12¹⁄₂".

Combustible material projecting 6" (a mantel shelf, for example) requires a minimum clearance of 19" above the fireplace opening. Required clearance varies with the amount of projection. (Fig. 4C)

The mantel profile must fall within the cross-section shown in Figures 4C or 4D.

B. Heat resistant material: Any heat resistant material

suitable for a continuous operating temperature of 120°C (248°F) must cover the wall surface directly above the fireplace opening and extend the full width of the fireplace opening for a distance of 10" above the opening. (Fig. 4C)

Gas Connection

Check Gas Type. Use only the gas type indicated on the

heater's rating plate. If the gas type indicated on the plate is not your type of gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for the proper model.

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 external regulator for all LP installations to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum of 14" w.c. This is in addition to the regulator fitted to the heater.

WARNING: Connecting directly to an unregulated LP tank can cause an explosion.

All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances or with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1), whichever applies.

Gas Line Connection

NOTE: These models are factory equipped with a stainless steel flex tube connected to the control valve gas line inlet. The inlet to these units is 1/2” NPT.

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 two pipe wrenches when making the connection to the valve to prevent turning or damage to gas valve or regulator.

Connection between the manual shut-off valve and the gas valve can be made with a CSA design certified flexible connector if allowed by local codes. A drip leg (sediment trap) must

be installed. (Fig. 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.

78570

Typical Gas Line Connection

Step 1: With the engine assembly free from the fireplace, check tightness of flexible connector fittings.

CAUTION: Use one wrench to hold regulator and one wrench to loosen and tighten the brass fittings. Failure to hold the regulator while loosening and tightening the fittings can damage the unit and cause gas leaks.

Step 2: Set the engine assembly into the fireplace and connect the flexible connector to the gas piping that has been installed per local codes, or in the absence of local codes, ANSI Z223.1 latest edition.

Step 3: After the last connection is made, screw the engine assembly to the bottom of the fireplace. (Fig. 3)

Step 4: Test all connections for gas leaks.

Gas Line Pipe Sizing

NOTE: To determine the size of the branch gas line from the main gas line to the fireplace, enter the tables below (for iron pipe or copper tubing) using the distance from the gas meter or second stage regulator to the furthest appliance on the gas system. Select a pipe or tube diameter which has enough capacity to meet the maximum input requirement of the fireplace. Regardless, do not use less than 1/2" diameter for the branch line. For any distances required longer than shown in these tables, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code.

NOTE: There may be a local gas utility requirement specifying a minimum diameter for gas piping. All units require a 1/2 inch pipe connection at the gas valve.

CAPACITY OF PIPING

Gas Pressure Check

The gas inlet pressure specified in Table 1 is the pressure where the field-installed gas line connects to the gas control. This is measured at the inlet test port on the gas valve in the appliance. Ensure that pressure is as shown in Table 1.

Table 1

Gas Inlet Pressure Natural Propane

Max. 14.0” w.c. 14.0” w.c.

Normal 7.0” w.c. 11.0” w.c.

Min.* 5.0” w.c. 10.8” w.c.

Regulator Pressure 3.5” w.c. 10.0” w.c.

*Minimum inlet supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment.

The manifold pressure is controlled by the gas valve and should be checked at the pressure test points as shown in Figure 9 on Page 11. The pressure connections accept 1/4” I.D. hose or tubing.

The pressure should be checked with the appliance burning on high (highest setting) and all other appliances turned on. One must then read the manometer and if pressures are not 10.0” w.c. for LP or 3.5” w.c. for Natural gas the inlet pressure must be adjusted or increased until the proper pressures are at-

78570

tained. If these pressures are greater than 10.2” w.c. for LP or

3.7” w.c. for Natural gas, contact your gas supplier before operating the appliance.

Pressure is tested by loosening (do not remove) the screw in the test port and sliding tubing onto the test port.

CAUTION: If the appliance's operating pressures are not checked and adjusted, improper combustion may result in soot being produced. Record the results of the gas pressure check on the appropriate documents.

Testing The Gas Piping. Test all piping for leaks. When

checking gas piping to the heater with gas pressure less than 1/2 PSI, shut off manual gas valve for the heater. If gas piping is to be checked with the pressure at or above 1/2 PSI, the heater and manual shut off valve must be disconnected during testing to prevent damage to the regulator on the unit. (SEE WARNING).

To ensure that the gas lines and connections do not have any leaks, a pressure test should be performed. Only a qualified

installer should perform the pressure test to ensure that the unit is not damaged by high pressures!

WARNING: Be sure that the gas type indicated on the gas log rating plate concurs with the gas system in your building.

If you connect natural gas to an LP gas unit, you may be unable to ignite the pilot. If the pilot does ignite, the 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.

If you connect LP gas to a natural gas unit, the burner flame on the low setting will be about 6” - 8” long. On the high setting, the burner flames will 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.

1. Remove logs from carton and inspect.

2. Rear log should be installed onto rear log supports. Match up slots on rear of log with the vertical log bracket tabs. (Fig.

3. Place the bottom edge of the large front log between the two tabs located in the log support channel which centers the log left to right. (Fig. 6)

4. The two top twigs can then be placed in their designated positions located with pins on back logs and grooves on the front log. (Fig. 7)

5. Lava rock from the bag provided should be placed on the hearth pan area to suit individual appearance preferences. DO NOT place volcanic ash on burner, pilot or logs.

6. Platinum embers are to be placed only on top of the front burner port area. Equally space emblers one layer thick.

Do not pile ember material over one layer thick as this does not enhance the “ember” appearance or improve the log set performance. (Fig. 8)

7. Flames must not impinge (touch) on logs.

WARNING: Do not use more embers than those supplied with your unit. Do not use embers other than genuine “Platinum Embers” supplied by Temco Fireplace Products - Part No.

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 rejected 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 not operate the vent free fireplace if the fuel level in the propane tank is below 1/4 full.

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

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 positioned at all times.

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 200°F) Over time, this could cause condensation to form and damage wall structures and exterior paint. Do not use this product during building construction. Dust, debris, paint fumes etc. can cause burner damage and/or produce strong odors.

If the fireplace is equipped with glass doors, the doors must be fully open when the gas appliance is operating.

to the PILOT position. Hold in for 20 seconds.

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.

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. (Fig. 17)

In normal operation (at full rate for approximately 15 minutes) the following flame appearance should be observed:

The flame should burn blue with some yellow flames visible. Height of the blue flame should be approximately 1” on high. The yellow flames should extend 6 to 8 inches above the large front log.

Typical flame shape seen in Figure 18.

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 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.

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 the brush attachment from your 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 when cleaning around the pilot (ODS). The pilot should not be moved or altered from the original factory setting (Pilot to burner preset location). To clean the pilot, take an Air Duster can (computer cleaner compressed air) and insert the nozzle into the primary air inlet. Shoot a short blast of air into the inlet to clear dust. (Fig. 20) The burner should not be removed or taken out of it’s locked and secure position (proper location of burners are critical).

Logs must be carefully replaced in their orignial, preset positions, as shown in Figure 21, to prevent the rear flames from touching any log. No other arrangement is permitted. Incorrect placement can diminish combustion efficiency and cause sooting.

A qualified gas professional should periodically check and clean the orifices and burners per National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix B.

Lack of proper maintenance may void warranty.

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.

The heat output from the appliance when operated as a ventfree heater may be controlled by adjusting the main gas valve. Reference lighting instructions on Page 11 and chart on Page 3 which shows inputs at all settings.

The main gas valve may be adjusted anywhere between high and low to give the desired combination of flame aesthetics and heat output.
