Page 2: Technical Information
This unvented gas log heater has been certified by CSA and tested to conform to ANSI Z21.11.2 Gas Fired Room Heaters. Check local codes before installing this log heater. In some areas of the country, unvented gas log heaters are restricted. The installation and provision for combustion and ventilation air must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54 (latest edition), the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) and any applicable local codes. - Page 3 CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH When used without fresh air, vent free gas logs may give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas. Some people such as pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease and persons at high altitudes are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
- Page 4 Provisions for Adequate Combustion and Ventilation Air This heater shall not be installed in a “ CONFINED SPACE” or unusually tight construction unless provi- sions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. The NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a “CONFINED SPACE” as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU per hour (4.8m rating of all appliances installed in that space, and an “UNCONFINED SPACE”...

Page 6: Hood Installation
ATTENTION: This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by realistic flames. This heater is designed for vent-free operation with flue damper closed. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters. - Page 7 • If the fireplace has glass doors, remove the glass doors and frame assembly or the upper door track. • If the upper door track has been removed, follow the instructions for Figure 3. If the upper door track remains, skip Figure 3 and follow the instructions for Figure 4.

Page 8: For Your Safety Read Before Lighting
Connection to Gas Supply 1. Place the burner assembly (grate and control package) in the fireplace. Center the assembly front to back and side to side. 2. Install the gas supply fitting to the gas supply pipe. Use pipe thread sealing compound, or Teflon tape, on the iron pipe threads only. - Page 9 Guidelines After your installer does the test burn, the log set should be operated either with the chimney open or, in the absence of a chimney, with a window open approxi- mately 1-2 inches. This operation should last for about 2-3 hours to cure the logs and dissipate any residual fumes from the new unit.

The thermostat will gradually modulate the heat output and flame height from higher to lower settings in order to maintain the comfort level you select. The ideal comfort setting will vary by household depending upon the amount of space to be heated, the output of the central heating system, etc. -
