1.

Remove log and gas log heater from
carton. 

Note:

 Do not pick up gas log

heater by the burner itself. This could
damage heater. Always handle the gas
log heater by the heater base only.

2.

Remove all protective packaging applied
to log and gas log heater for shipment.

3.

Check all items for any shipping dam-
age. If damaged, promptly inform
dealer where you bought heater.

4.

If not already removed, remove back
panel from assembled stove body (see
Figure 5, page 8). Use an adjustable
wrench or a 10 mm socket. Remove six
(6) bolts and washers. Keep bolts and
washers to reattach back panel later.

5.

Set gas log heater inside stove. Make sure
control knob extension passes through
bottom front opening (see Figure 13).

6.

four (4) mounting holes on the stove
bottom (see Figure 13).

INSTALLATION

Continued

7.

Fasten heater base to stove bottom with
#10-24 x .50 bolts and hex nuts pro-
vided with gas log heater (see Figure
14). Attachment hardware is factory
packed inside plastic bag with installa-
tion manual and owner’s registration
card. Push bolt through heater base
mounting hole and through stove bot-
tom. Connect hex nut to bolt on under-
side of stove bottom. The bolt hex head
is for a 5/16" socket and the hex nuts
are for a 3/8" socket. If sockets are not
available, use adjustable wrenches.

8.

Set one-piece log on heater base as
shown in Figure 15. Make sure middle
section at bottom of log is seated into
"U" shaped cutout in center of heater
base. Log will fit securely on base.

IMPORTANT:

 Make sure log does not

cover any burner ports and does not
touch the stove cavity (see Figure 16).

9.

Fasten back panel to stove with six (6)
M6 x 1.20mm bolts and  washers. Make
sure product identification label is located
on the outside lower left-hand corner.

Note:

 Do not overtighten bolts. Porce-

lain on back panel may crack.

10. Place freestanding stove in desired po-

sition in room. Be sure to maintain
clearances to combustibles as outlined
on page 7.

 CAUTION: Do not remove the

metal data plates attached to the
heater base assembly. The data
plates contain important warranty
information.

 WARNING: Failure to position

the parts in accordance 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 thereafter, check to en-
sure 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 in-
structions in this manual. Flames
contacting logs will create soot.
