consult your gas log dealer, qualified installer, service agency or
gas supplier.
WARNING
If not installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, this product could expose you to substances in fuel or fuel combustion which are known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING
Young children are not allowed to operate this unit and must be supervised when they are in the same

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Fireplace damper MUST be locked fully open when operating the gas log set.
If the fireplace has glass doors,
operate gas log set only with doors fully opened. The fireplace
screen must be in place when the appliance is operating and, unless other provisions for combustion
air are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction of combustion air.
The log set and its individual shut-off valve
MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of gas supply at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig.
The log set and its individual shut-off valve
MUST be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.
Keep the gas log set clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or oil fired appliances, and the products of
combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known

General Information
In order to assure a safe and effective installation, only a qualified service person who is
familiar with the building codes and installation
techniques appropriate to your area may install
and service this appliance.
The Logsets have been designed and tested to operate safely when installed according to the installation
instructions contained in this manual. Read all instructions before starting the installation.
• For outdoor use only.
• The logset should be inspected before use and at
least annually thereafter. More frequent cleaning may
be necessary because of excessive lint from carpeting
or bedding material.
• In the United States, the installation and operation
must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, latest edition, CSA B149.1 Installation Code,
and with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70
(latest edition).
• The gas logset and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 p.s.i.g. (3.5 kPa) The gas logset must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 p.s.i.g. (3.5 kPa)
• Do not, under any circumstances, burn solid fuel
(wood, paper, coal) in the fireplace where you have
installed your logset. Do not use it for cooking. Put
nothing on top of the logs.
• The logset must be compatible with its fuel. Natural
gas requires different hardware than propane. Never
attempt to use natural gas with a propane logset or vice
versa.
• For a propane burning logset, the supply tank must
include a high to low gas pressure regulator. The tank
must be outdoors. Do not, under any circumstances,
locate supply tanks inside any structure.
• The fireplace must include a screen made of chain
mesh or a similar material. You must keep the screen
closed at all times during the operation of the logset; it
will protect you in the event of an explosion.
• WARNING: If the fireplace contains glass doors,
they must remain open at all times during the operation of the logset, allowing combustion air to circulate.
• In order to avoid any possible gas leaks, apply pipe
joint compound to all non-flared threaded connections
involved in this installation. For propane, the joint
compound must be resistant to the corrosive action of
propane.
• To check for leaks, always use a soapy water solution or a sniffer. Never test by using an open flame.
• The area around the gas logset must be free of all
combustible materials, especially gasoline or other
highly flammable, vapor producing liquids.
• Due to high temperatures, locate this logset away
from both high traffic areas and furniture and draperies.
• Children and adults alike should be aware of the
high surface temperatures; to avoid the risk of burns
or ignition of clothing they should stay away.
• Do not touch any part of the logset other than the
controls while it is operating or immediately after you
turn it off.
• Supervise young children and pets carefully when
they are in the area where the logset is operating.
• Do not place clothing or other flammable material on
or near the logset.
•Make sure that any safety screen or guard, removed
during servicing, has been replaced before you use
the logset.
• It is imperative that you keep clear all burner areas,
control compartments and passageways for circulating air.
• Do not move the logset in any way that might dislodge the logs from their fixed positions. If you bump
the logset check to see if you have dislodged anything.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings
into the combustion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and proper operation.
NEVER obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.

NOTE: For Natural and Propane gas, you must have a manual
shutoff at the fireplace.
1. Place the burner pan in the fireplace. Pull the grate so the back
side of the hearth brick pulls up (1, Fig. 1) enough for you to tilt the
grate up (2, Fig. 1) to slide the pan underneath. (3, Fig. 1) The burner should be located several inches from the backwall, centered left
to right.
NOTE: This is for burner connection purposes only. Exact burner
placement will be covered on Page 7, after all connections have
been made.
3. Attach the Gas Supply Fitting onto your fireplace’s gas supply
pipe, as shown in Figure 2.
