INSTALLATION INSTALL AND OPERATE THE APPLIANCE AS DIRECTED IN THIS MANUAL. DAMPER STOP INSTALLATION A damper stop must be provided with the unit. The damper stop must be installed as shown in Figure 4 to prevent full closure of the fireplace damper blade and provide a minimum flue opening, per table on page 5. Should the clamp not fit, or provide the required permanent opening from the table, have the damper cut to provide a minimum permanent opening or install a permanent stop. FOR MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS ONLY: Instal- Damper Stop lation of this vented gas log in the Commonwealth of Mas- sachusetts requires the damper be permanently removed or welded in the full open position. In addition, a naturally vented gas log may not be installed in a bedroom or bath- Damper room in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Page 14: Log Placement
LOG PLACEMENT FILLING THE BURNER PAN Fill the burner pan with vermiculite to the bottom of the rear log and sloped to the front edge of the burner pan. Excess ver- miculite can spill forward or to the side of the burner pan. Do not overfill the propane model. Do not cover the pilot (if SPK or MVVK is installed) with vermiculite or rock wool (embers). PLACEMENT OF GLOWING EMBERS (ROCK WOOL) The Wildfire flame appearance can vary due to differences in draft and fireplace configurations and ember placement. After installing rear (#1) and front logs (#2 and #3), cover the entire top surface of the vermiculite in the burner pan with the rock wool supplied with unit. Tear the rock wool into pieces approximately " in size (roughly the size of a nickel) and cover the burner evenly. Do no use more rock wool than the amount supplied with the unit. To enhance the appearance of the Wildfire flame, it is recommended to form a mound of rock wool in the center of the burner, 2" to 3" high, visible through the two front logs. PLACEMENT OF DECORATIVE VOLCANIC ROCK Sprinkle volcanic rock in front of front glowing embers and to both sides. DO NOT SPRINKLE ON BURNERS, EMBER BED, PILOT OR LOGS. IMPORTANT: Do not handle logs with your bare hands! Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. -

Page 48: Fireplace Draft Test
FIREPLACE DRAFT TEST IMPORTANT: Fireplace Draft Test During Initial Installation It is critical to verify that your chimney is drafting properly because the fireplace and gas logs function as a system. Although MHS goes to great lengths to design vented gas log sets that minimize sooting, all vented log sets will soot over time. Sooting normally appears as areas of black powder-like substance on the logs. It is important to periodi- cally clean and inspect the logs per the cleaning and servicing. Fireplace systems that do not draft properly can increase the amount of soot produced by normal operation of the log set and, in extreme cases, can cause soot to be deposited within the room. -
Page 49: Remote Control Receiver Replacement
REMOTE CONTROL RECEIVER REPLACEMENT The remote control receiver and batteries are very sensitive to heat. Exposure to high temperatures can cause the receiver to malfunction and shorten the life of the batteries. If your fireplace does NOT have a restrictive barrier (see page 6), such as glass doors, it is recommended that the remote receiver be affixed to the right hand side of the heat shield or placed in the front, right corner of the fireplace. If your fireplace has a restrictive barrier, it is recommended that the remote receiver be placed outside of the fireplace. CLEANING AND SERVICING Turn off gas logs and allow to cool before cleaning. Disconnect electrical power if applicable before cleaning or servicing. Figure 159 - Removing Soot with a Soft Bristle Brush The log set should be cleaned at least once a year for maximum performance. -
