WARNING
A properly sized, unobstructed chimney will normally vent all fumes and products of combustion. Any
odor or smoke detected in the room is an indication that the flue is not properly removing the combustion products. Turn off the gas supply valve immediately! The cause of the venting problem must be
discovered and corrected before using this gas log set. Disregarding this warning can cause illness as
well as soot damage to your fireplace, room and furnishings.
WARNING
Young children are not allowed to operate this unit and must be supervised when they are in the same
room as the appliance.
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.

Gas Plumbed on Left Hand Side of Fireplace
NOTE: Your gas log set is assembled at the factory to be installed in a fireplace plumbed with the gas
on the right side (facing). If your fireplace is plumbed with the gas on the left side, you may remove the
u-burner tube from the burner pan by removing the 3/4” knockout at the left back of the burner pan and
reinstalling the u-burner tube 180 degrees from its original position. You may also run a flexible connector (or as per local codes) along the back wall of the fireplace to bring your gas line to the right hand

Damper Stop Installation:
For Use with BR, BC, SR, SC, TF and TL Series CFM Specialty Home Products Fireplaces
This Damper Stop is designed to work on all CFM
Specialty Home Products BR, BC, SR, SC, TF and
TL series fireplaces. For all other fireplaces, refer
to Page 6.
When installing a decorative gas appliance in a
fireplace, some local codes require this Damper
Stop to be used so the Damper will not close
completely. To install the Damper Stop:
The Damper Locking Bracket is already installed
on all BR, BC, SR, SC, TF and TL fireplaces.
Locate the Damper Locking Bracket on the left
side of the fireplace’s Combustion Dome. (Fig. 1)
With the Damper open, align the two slots on
either side of the cut-out on the Damper Stop with
the two small holes on the angled portion of the
Damper Locking Bracket. Attach the Damper Stop
with the Screws provided, as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: Some of the early fireplace units may not
have the holes in the end of the Damper Locking
Bracket. If this is the case, use the Damper Stop
as a template to drill two (2) 1/8” holes in the
Damper Locking Bracket to mount the Damper
Stop.

Damper Stop Installation:
For Use With All Other Fireplaces
The Damper Stop provided keeps your damper
from accidentally closing during operation of your
set. This Damper Stop must be installed onto
your Damper at all times. NOTE: The damper
clamp is designed to hold the damper plate
open 3 inches. However, the damper must be
fully open when the log set is in operation.
Install the Damper Stop onto the edge of the
damper plate. Attach by securing the bolt provided to the damper plate with an adjustable
wrench. (Fig. 3)
If the Damper Stop does not fit, drill a 1/4” hole
into the damper plate and install an
anchor bolt with nut, at a 90 degree angle, so that
the damper plate will remain fully open.

The proper finished installation of the Damper
Stop is shown in Figure 4. If the bolt fails to block
the damper in an open position, the damper
should be removed from the chimney.
To check your vent for proper drafting: Light a
tightly rolled newspaper on one end and place it at
the inside front edge of the fireplace. Observe the
smoke and be sure the vent is properly drawing it
up the chimney. If the smoke is drawn
