Zero Clearance Fireplace Installation

This insert may be installed in a masonry or factory built/zero clearance
(ZC) fireplace. When installing in a ZC fireplace, the ZC grate must be
removed and the ZC damper must be removed or secured open. The ZC
doors, screen, refractory or masonry lining, baffles and smoke shelf may
be removed, if necessary, to install the gas insert. However, do not cut
or alter the fireplace components. The removal of any parts to facilitate
installation must not alter the integrity of the inner or outer shells of the
fireplace cabinet. See Fireplace Requirements on Page 5.

Brick Liner Installation

HANDLE THE BRICK PANELS WITH CARE (SEE FIGURE 8) AS
THEY ARE FRAGILE. DO NOT FORCE THE PANELS INTO THE
FIREBOX AS THEY WILL BREAK IF FORCED.
1. Open and remove glass door, see "Front Door Removal"
2. The longest panel goes in the rear of the firebox. Tilt the top of the
panel forward, insert the bottom of the panel in the brick panel retainer
and push the panel to the up-right position.
3. Install the side panels by sliding the top of the panel into the top side
brick retainer and then dropping the bottom of the panel into the bot-
tom retainer. The rounded edge on the side brick panels goes toward
the front.

Log Installation Instructions
If logs are not installed according to the log installation instruc-
tions, flame impingement and improper combustion could
occur and result in soot and/or excessive production of carbon
monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.

3-Piece Brick Panel Set
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
The size and position of the log set is critical to achieve a safe,
reliable and attractive flame pattern. Any attempt to use a differ-
ent log set in the fireplace will void the warranty and will result
in incomplete combustion, sooting and poor flame quality.
Part list: Rear log, Right Front log, Left Front log and Top Twig
1. Remove the logs from the box and carefully unwrap them. The logs
are fragile, so handle them with care.
2. Place the rear log with the charred surface forward, on the two rear
locating pins (see Figure 9).
3. Place the left front log, with the charred surface forward, (see Figure
10) on the two left front locating pins. Next place the right front log,
with the charred surface forward, on the two right front locating
pins.
