WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage. Read these directions thoroughly before installation. For assistance or additional information, consult your gas log dealer, qualified installer, service agency or
gas supplier.
WARNING
Do not use this appliance or any part that has
been under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the appliance and
to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
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
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. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and
away from furniture and draperies. In addition, clothing or other flammable material should not be
placed on or near the appliance.
Technical Information
The operation of a gas log set, and the provision for combustion and ventilation air must
conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and applicable codes.
Gas Pressure Testing: This gas 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 (3.5 kPA). The gas log set must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa)
Component Parts: Only factory authorized components listed in these instructions may be used in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Any modifications to this kit, or use of unauthorized components or accessory items
will void the manufacturer’s warranty, and may result in a hazardous condition.

Before You Begin -- ATTENTION!
A. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional
service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and
circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
B. Your fireplace must include a chain mesh or similar screen. The screen must remain
fully closed while operating your log set. Any safety screen or guard removed for
servicing this appliance must be replaced prior to operation.
C. If your fireplace includes glass doors, they must remain fully open to allow for combustion
air during operation, and to prevent overheating of the gas valve.
D. Your log set must be installed in a solid fuel burning fireplace constructed of
noncombustible material with a working flue.
E. Solid fuels shall not be burned in the fireplace where your gas log set is installed.
F. If this log set is to be used with propane gas, your propane supply tank MUST include a
high to low gas pressure regulator, and must be located outside. DO NOT place supply
tanks inside any structure .
G. Never use sand or other dense pan material with propane gas: use vermiculite only.
H. Be sure to apply pipe joint compound to all non-flared, threaded connections involved in this
installation to avoid possible gas leaks. Compounds used in liquid propane
applications must be resistant to the action of that gas.
I. Always test for leaks using a soapy solution. NEVER USE OPEN FLAME.
J. The manufacture and shipping of your log set involves compounds which may cause
detectable yet harmless odors during initial operation. Provide extra ventilation to the
room for the initial 2-3 hour break-in period.
K. This gas log set may be installed in the approved fireplace in an aftermarket* manufactured
(mobile) home where not prohibited by state or local codes.
*Aftermarket: Completion of sale, not for purpose of resale, from the manufacturer.
L. The fireplace damper MUST be fully open when operating this log set.

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 remove fittings on right and
left side of straight burner tube and switch sides, at the same time put front burner tube on right side with
the elbow fitting. (Fig. 5b)
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 side. You can then place the set in front of the flexible connector. (Fig. 5a)
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.
