MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE - continued
Before tightening the wall-mounting screws fully, at this stage it is
recommended to check the horizontal alignment of the appliance with
a spirit level, as small adjust ments can still be made if necessary . When
this has been checked, tighten all four fixing screws fully .
To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriver either through
the round holes in the front of the outlet Grill (as shown in Figure 3), or
alternatively for easier access the outlet Grill may be removed and the
fixing screws accessed more directly through the holes in the deflector
baffle as shown in Figure 4 .

CHECKING THE BURNER
There are no imitation fuel bed components, such as logs or rocks,
to install . The appliance features a ribbon burner which is designed to
produce a continuous band of flame over its length . The burner should
be visually inspected to ensure it is free from any foreign matter . If it is
necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door should be
removed by removal of the four retaining screws . Re-fit the glass door
after cleaning or inspection, ensuring a good seal .
CONNECTING A GAS LINE
NOTE: See Page 21 for gas line entry point dimensions.
Connecting directly to a unregulated propane tank
may cause an explosion.
Hold heater regulator with a wrench to prevent move-
ment when connecting to inlet piping.
A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the gas room heater to
the gas supply . Consult all local codes .
The installer must provide an ANSI approved manual shut off valve, flex
connector and 3/8" NPT fitting . A flex gas line kit with shut-off valve is
available (see Page 18 for ordering information) .
Route gas line using techniques and materials prescribed by local and/
or national codes . Only use pipe of 1/2" or greater diameter to allow full
gas volume to the gas fireplace . Undue pressure loss will occur if the
pipe is too small .
An external regulator must be used on all propane (L .P .G .) heaters, in
addition to the regulator fitted to the heater, to reduce the supply tank
pressure to 13" w .c . (maximum) .
Figure 5
An ANSI approved manual shut-off valve and union must be installed
upstream of the heater within the fireplace cavity when rigid pipe is
used . Ensure that a sediment trap is installed upstream of the heater
(Figure 5) within the structure's piping system to prevent moisture
and contaminants from passing through the pipe to the heater controls
and burner . Failure to do so could prevent the heater from operating
reliably . The heater gas inlet connection is 3/8" NPT at the regulator,
located below the burner, in the center of the heater . When tightening
up the joint to the regulator hold the regulator securely with a wrench
to prevent the regulator from moving .
