FINALIZING THE INSTALLATION

RESTRICTOR USAGE:
Turn fireplace on and allow to burn for 15 minutes.
If flames indicate there is excessive draft (flickering, short flames), a restrictor may be necessary.
If flames indicate insufficient draft (lifting or ghosting flames), a previously installed restrictor may need to be modified or removed.
TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY, ALLOW FIREPLACE AMPLE TIME TO COOL BEFORE MAKING ANY
WARNING
ADJUSTMENTS AND / OR INSTALLATIONS.
FLAME APPEARANCE
Short, flickering
Lifting or ghosting*
* Improper venting installation may cause flames to lift or "ghost" - a dangerous situation. Inspect flames after installation to ensure proper
performance. If determined that venting is correct, and the restrictor has been removed, yet flames are still lifting or ghosting, shut off gas
supply to fireplace and call a qualified service technician.
RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION / MODIFICATION
If determined that a restrictor is needed or restrictor modification is required after termination is installed, access can be reached through
fireplace baffle. Please remove logs, upper refractory clip and refractory to avoid damaging these components.
1. Remove (4) screws securing baffle. Tip baffle to slight angle to remove.
2. Depending on your specific needs, determined by the chart above along with other factors, make necessary modifications.
3. If installation of a restrictor (included in fireplace components packet) is necessary, bend tabs on restrictor to approx. 80 degree angles
to create tension when inserted into exhaust pipe on fireplace. Insert restrictor into 5" exhaust pipe with tabs pointing towards you.
4. If modification is necessary, remove restrictor by pulling it down and out of 5" exhaust pipe.
5. Reinstall baffle by resting baffle front above flange along inside top of firebox opening. Tip baffle back against rear firebox wall.
Secure with (4) screws previously removed.
6. Reinstall refractory panels and log set.
7. Attach glass frame assembly and light fireplace. Wait 15 minutes before determining if any further modifications are necessary.
