GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with
local codes. Installation practices vary from region to region
and it is important to know the specifi cs that apply to your
area, for example: in Massachusetts State:
• The fi replace damper must be removed or welded in the open
position prior to installation of a fi replace insert or gas log.
• A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing
gas fi red appliances.
• The appliance off valve must be a "T" handle gas cock.
• The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or
bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion
product.
• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed
plumber or gas fi tter when installed within the commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN/CGA
-B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States.
Suitable for mobile home installation if installed in accordance
with the current standard CAN/CSA Z240MH Series, for gas
equipped mobile homes, in Canada or ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA
54 in the United States.
The fireplace 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 psig (3.5 kPa). The fi replace 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
psig (3.5 kPa).
When the fi replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile
or other combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the
fi replace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fi replace
open. Assure that a continuous gas fl ow is at the burner
before closing the door.
Under extreme vent confi gurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the fl ame to stabilize after ignition.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and
operating the fi replace. Never obstruct the front opening of
the fi replace.
Objects placed in front of the fi replace must be kept a
minimum of 48" from the front face of the unit.

4,500ft, and in the absence of specifi c recommendations
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certifi ed high
altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for
each additional 1,000ft. Maximum output for both natural

Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water column
for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane.
Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water column for
natural gas and 13 inches water column for propane. Manifold
pressure under fl ow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for
natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane.
This fi replace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-
sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in
a mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site and
