The fireplace needs to be prepared before installing the gas logs.
A. Turn off the gas supply to the fireplace.
B. Any outside air ducts on the fireplace shall be permanently closed at the time of the
appliance installation.
"WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING IN A SOLID FUEL BURNING FIREPLACE,
THE CHIMNEY FLUE AND FIREBOX MUST BE CLEANED OF SOOT,
CREOSOTE, ASHES AND LOOSE PAINT BY A QUALIFIED CHIMNEY
CLEANER".
"WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FANS TO BLOW DIRECTLY INTO
THE FIREPLACE. AVOID ANY DRAFTS THAT ALTER BURNER FLAME
PATTERN".
Centrally locate the gas logs in the fireplace. Place them deep enough into the fireplace to
accomplish adequate draft (if use as a vented gas log set is planned). Ensure that front of the
logs sit inside the edge of the fireplace.
