In order to assure a safe and effective instal-
lation, only a qualified service person who is
familiar with the building codes and installa-
tion 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.
•
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
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 room 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.
Do not, under any circumstances, install the logset
in any bedroom, bathroom, other small, enclosed
room, mobile home or recreational vehicle.
Do not install the logset in a drafty area or use it
with any aftermarket blower system that may
cause drafting and consequently alter the flame
pattern.
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 dis-
lodged 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.
