INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

by
Please Note: It is important that you read instructions before installing or operating gas logs
Gas logs are to be burned only in approved woodburning Fireplace with adequate chimney draft. When burning, the chimney
damper must be FULLY OPEN. Log set must be installed in fireplace which operates properly when wood fires are burned.
• For best results, natural gas pressure must be 7" to 10-1/2" water
column.
• To simulate real wood burning, the gas burner is designed to burn a
yellow flame. It is normal for the logs to soot-up. The soot can easily be
removed with a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush.
• A fireplace screen must be in place when the appliance is operating
and, unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen
shall have an opening (s) for introduction of combustion air.
• If used with glass fireplace doors, burn with doors in open position.
• Do not burn wood or other items with log set.
Log sets are designed for use with Natural Gas, unless clearly labeled for Propane (LP). Never use Propane Gas in a log set
designed for Natural Gas, or Natural Gas in a log set designed for use with Propane Gas.
The installation, including provisions for combustion and ventila-
tion air, must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the national fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988 and
NFPA54-1988.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnect-
ed from the gas supply piping system when testing at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 psig.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of gas-supply system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig. This is accomplished by closing the gas sup-
ply line valve, which is required by NFPA 54, section 5.54.
