IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the
fireplace “ON”.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing
of the paint and any undetected oil used in the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated.
Open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) continuous hours the first time you use it.
If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan
switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right
side of the appliance. Knockouts are provided at convenient locations to allow for the gas pipe installation and
testing of any gas connection.
The gas line connection can be made with properly
tinned 3/8” copper tubing, 1/2” rigid pipe or an approved
flex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local
authority and the CSA-B149.1 installation codes.
For USA installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution applied with a
brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never
apply soap and water solution with a spray
bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak
testing.

Fig. 4 Typical gas supply installation.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected
to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi.
Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas
appliance control from the gas line when
pressure testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8” test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved
fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron
pipe so that the gas line can be easily disconnected for
burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 4) See the gas specifications for pressure details and ratings.
Remote ON/OFF Switch Installation
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch
for this gas appliance into a 120v power
supply.
1. Thread wire through the electrical knockout located
on either side of the unit. Take care not to cut the
wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure the wire is
secured and protected from possible damage. Run
one end of the gas control valve and the other end to
the conveniently located wall switch.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install
switch into receptacle box. Attach cover plate to
switch.
3. Connect wiring to gas valve. (Fig. 5)
