IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION AND FIREPLACE SAFETY INFORMATION
A. BE CAREFUL: If not installed, serviced, and used correctly per these instructions, this product can cause serious
personal injury, property damage, or loss of life.
B. WARNING:
Before installing in a solid-fuel-burning fi replace,
the chimney fl ue, damper, and fi rebox must be thoroughly
CLEANED
of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint, and must be inspected by a qualifi ed chimney cleaner. Some older
fi replaces may need repair prior to installing this appliance.
C.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is
NOT FIELD CONVERTIBLE
for use with other gasses.
CHECK GAS TYPE (natural or L.P.): The gas supply must be the same as stated on your burner system rating plate. If
gas supply is different,
DO NOT INSTALL
. Contact your dealer for immediate assistance.
D.
INSUFFICIENT GAS PRESSURE WILL KEEP THE
PILOT (IF EQUIPPED) FROM OPERATING PROPERLY.
DO NOT USE IF GAS PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.
E.
The
minimum
inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is
5"
water column (w.c.) on
natural gas
and
11"
w.c. on
L.P. gas
. Insuffi cient gas pressure will affect proper operation of the pilot (if equipped). Do not install this gas
appliance if minimum pressure is not available. The
maximum
inlet gas-supply pressure is
10.5"
w.c. on natural gas and
13"
w.c. on L.P. gas. The L.P. source must be regulated.
(Do not connect this appliance directly to an unregulated
L.P. gas tank - this can cause an explosion.) Do not connect this appliance to a portable L.P. gas cylinder.
F. The gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum fl ow rate (BTU/hr)
.
Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small, or the run is too long. Gas supply pipe must be
1
/
2
" minimum
interior diameter. If the gas line is longer than 20', a larger diameter line may be necessary. Refer to the NFPA 54
guidelines for further details.
G.
Input ratings shown in BTU per hour are for elevations up to 2,000 ft. For elevations above 2,000 ft., refer to the National
Fuel Gas Code or contact manufacturer before installing this product.
H.
This gas appliance and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.
I.
This gas appliance must be isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing the equipment shutoff valve connected to
the gas-supply line during any pressure testing of the gas-supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
J. To install the gas appliance in your fi replace, the fi replace MUST meet the minimum size requirements (see product
specifi cations table in SPECIFICATIONS section).
K.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket, permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited
by local codes. Installation of appliances designed for manufactured home (U.S. only) or mobile home installation must
conform with the Standard
CAN/CSA Z240 MH
,
Mobile Housing
, in Canada, or with the
Manufactured Home Construction
and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280,
in the United States, or when such a standard is not applicable,
ANSI/
NCSBCS A225.1/NFPA 501A, Manufactured Home Installations Standard.
L. DO NOT install this burner system if the fi replace hearth is recessed.
The fi replace fl oor must be at the same level as or
higher than the fi replace front opening. If glass doors are used: the fi replace fl oor must not be blocked by the door frame;
the frame must have openings to allow for fresh air circulation. See the SPECIFICATIONS section for details.
CAUTION: Installation and repair must be done by an NFI Certifi ed or other qualifi ed professional installer.
Installer:
Carefully read these instructions before installing this gas burner system. Be sure you understand
all safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual.
