INSTALLING LOGS
WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accor-
dance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this heater may result in
property damage or personal injury.
CAUTION: After installation and periodically there-
after, check to ensure that no flame comes in contact
with any log. With the heater set to High, check to see
if flames contact any log. If so, reposition logs ac-
cording to the log installation instructions in this
manual. Flames contacting logs will create soot.
Vintage Oak Two-Piece Log Set
It is very important to install these logs exactly as instructed. Do not
modify logs. Only use logs supplied with heater.
1.
Place front log on top of the grate and over front posts on chassis
(see Figure 22, page 15).
2.
Place rear log on rear of chassis (see Figure 22, page 15). Slide
log forward so that it sits against rear posts on chassis.
MPORTANT:
Make sure logs do not cover any burner ports
(see Figure 23, page 15).
3.
Place lava rock around base of heater if desired.
INSTALLATION
Checking Gas Connections (Cont.)
Installing Logs
Pressure Testing Heater Gas Connections
1.
Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 19).
2.
Open main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural
gas or open propane/LP supply tank valve.
3.
Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF position.
4.
Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to thermostat
gas valve (Thermostat-Controlled Models), to control valve
(Manually-Controlled Models), or to gas control (Remote-
Ready Models)(see Figures 20 and 21). Apply noncorrosive
leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5.
Correct all leaks at once.
6.
Light heater (see Operating Heater, pages 18 through 23, de-
pending on your model). Check all other internal joints for leaks.
