Gas supply system must be installed in accordance with the
U.S. National Fuel Gas Code.
This appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
system pressure test in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5 KPA).
Use a system manual shut-off valve to shut off the gas supply to
this gas appliance before continuing with installation procedures.
To avoid injury and property damage, DO NOT obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air when installing or
operating the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on the
floor or wall of the fireplace. If this is not performed, drafting may
cause pilot outage or excessive sooting. Use a heat-resistant
sealant. DO NOT seal the chimney flue damper.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE YOU BEGIN - Check the gas pressure at the
fireplace stub to ensure proper minimum gas pressure (see the
specifications beginning on page 9 of this manual).
IMPORTANT
BEFORE YOU BEGIN - Ensure that the firebox meets the
minimum specifications of the appliance (see the specifications
beginning on page 9 of this manual).
IMPORTANT
This appliance when first installed and used may produce odors.
This is normal. Open a window when operating the appliance for
the first time.
IMPORTANT
This appliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning
fireplace, which contains a working flue and is constructed of
non-combustible materials.
You must secure the gas burner to the fireplace floor. If not, the
entire unit may move when you adjust the controls. Movement of
unit may cause shifting of the gas logs which leads to excessive
sooting and improper burning. See Figure 5.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a
sunken fireplace. You must raise the fireplace floor with non-
combustible material to allow access to gas log controls. This
will ensure adequate air flow and guard against sooting. Raise
the fireplace floor using noncombustible materials.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE:
1.
Place the burner in the fireplace or firebox. Make certain the
entire ember burner is inside the front edge of the fireplace or
firebox.
2.
An anchor hole is provided in each burner leg. After centering
the burner, mark the hole positions on the fireplace/firebox
floor. Drill two 5/32 inch diameter holes approximately 1-1/2
inches deep for masonry screws or 1/8 inch hole for sheet
metal screws.
3.
Anchor to the fireplace/firebox floor using the screws provided.
Refer to Figure 5.
