Installing Vented Applications - Monessen Hearth DST30 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

INSTALLING VENTED APPLICATIONS

The fi replace and gas logs function as a system. If the fi replace is spilling into the
room (check with a match or a smoke stick), reposition the damper clamp until
a positive draft is obtained by opening the damper. If negative pressure in home
prevents having a positive draft, contact your dealer for assistance.
PLACING AND SECURING APPLIANCE
You must secure the gas log heater to the fi replace fl oor. 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 sooting and improper burning. Grate movement
could cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a sunken fi replace.
You must raise the fi replace fl oor to allow access to gas log controls. This will
insure adequate air fl ow and guard against sooting. Raise the fi replace fl oor using
noncombustible materials, as described in "PLACEMENT IN A FIREPLACE WITH
RESTRICTIVE BARRIER" on page 10.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE:
1. Center the gas log unit in the fi replace or fi rebox. Make certain the front feet of the grate sit inside the front
edge of the fi replace or fi rebox.
2. Anchor holes are located on the right and left sides of the unit. After centering the grate correctly, mark the hole positions
on the fi replace/fi rebox fl oor. Drill four (4)
3. Anchor the unit to the fi replace/fi rebox fl oor using the screws provided. Refer to Figure 12.
Proper installation of the grate is essential to prevent any movement of the gas logs and controls
during operation.
