All Vent-Free Gas Fireplaces and Logs

Read and understand installation instructions before attempting installation.

Assure that the model to be installed is of the CORRECT FUEL TYPE. Check markings on the shipping container (Model#s

ending in "N" are natural gas products; model#s ending in "P" are LP gas products.), tags on the burner assembly, and

color of the ODS safety pilot tube.

In order to ensure adequate combustion air, make sure that the model being installed has the appropriate heating

capacity for the unconfined space available. Allow a minimum of 50 cubic feet of unconfined space per 1000 BTU's for all

gas appliances.

Assure that gas line size is adequate for the model's input rating (BTU's per hour), the length of run form the meter

stage regulator to the farthest gas appliance, and other gas appliances on the system. A drip leg or sediment trap is required.

models require a minimum tank size of 120 gallons water capacity and two stage regulation.

Assure that installation meets local codes and ordinances.

Assure that there are no fans or blowers in the fireplace area.

Check for leaks before lighting.

Using a manometer, verify proper gas pressure at the manifold with unit at maximum setting and other appliances

Verify proper ignition of ODS and front and rear burners, as well as proper appearance of flames.

Verify that ceramic fiber and refractory components are properly positioned and secure. (Rear burner must not contact

logs.)

Verify adequate clearance to mantels and other combustibles.

Demonstrate correct operation of the product to the consumer. Note: LP models must not be operated if fuel tank is less than

1/4 full.

Observe the consumer operating the product properly.

Explain and demonstrate proper periodic maintenance.

Explain that operation with logs positioned other than as described in the manual voids the warranty and will cause

combustion and sooting.

Verify the consumer's understanding that warranty service work that is not pre-approved by the manufacturer's Technical

Service Department (other than routine maintenance) may not qualify for reimbursement.

Answer any questions the consumer may have about TEMCO vent-free products.

Vent-Free Gas Logs Only

Verify that the fireplace in which the logs are to be installed is either a solid-fuel burning fireplace (either factory-built o r

masonry) with a working flue system connected to it or an approved vent-free firebox.

Verify that the fireplace has been thoroughly cleaned by a professional chimney sweep. If solvents have been used to clean

the hearth, they must be allowed to evaporate before proceeding with installation.

Check firebox dimensions for adequate height, width, and depth.

Verify that the grate assembly is attached to the firebox floor.

Verify that any ash dump or outside air inlets are permanently sealed to avoid drafts within the firebox.

Verify that no additional logs, ornaments, or non-approved blower devices have been added.

Repair any broken or damaged logs prior to operation.

Check mantel clearances and verify installation of canopy if necessary.

Glass doors must be removed or opened completely during operation of logs.
