Read these instructions and follow the warnings. Save this manual for future reference.
Check local codes before installing this log set.
In some areas of the country, gas log sets are
restricted.
The installation and the provisions for combustion and ventilation air must conform with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning May Lead to Death
When used without fresh air, gas logs may give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas. Some
people such as pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease, and persons at high altitudes are
more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu: Headache, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you
have these signs, the gas logs may not be installed or working properly . Get fresh air at once! Have the
gas log set and chimney serviced before using it again.

WARNING
WARNING
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.
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.
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

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 installa-
tion 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)

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 will need to 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.
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 Clamp provided keeps your damper
from accidentally closing during operation of your
set. This Damper Clamp must be installed onto
your Damper at all times.
Install the Damper Clamp 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 Clamp 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
Clamp 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 back into
the room, extinguish the flame and remove any
obstruction until proper venting is achieved. If that
fails, check with a qualified chimney sweep.
