IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION AND FIREPLACE SAFETY INFORMATION
A.
This appliance is designed as an
attended appliance.
Adults must be present when this gas appliance is operating.
Do not leave this unit burning when unattended or while anyone is sleeping.
B.
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.
C.
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.
D.
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.
E.
CHECK GAS TYPE (natural or propane): 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.
F.
Keep the area of the gas log set clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors and
liquids.
G.
INSUFFICIENT GAS PRESSURE WILL KEEP THE PILOT FROM OPERATING PROPERLY. DO NOT USE IF GAS
PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.
H.
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
propane gas
. Insuffi cient gas pressure will affect proper operation of the pilot. 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 propane gas. The propane source must be regulated. (Do not connect this appliance directly to an
unregulated propane gas tank - this can cause an explosion.)
I.
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.
J.
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.
K.
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.
L.
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.
M.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been underwater.
N. A fi replace screen must be in place when the log set is burning.
Provisions for adequate combustion air must be
maintained. Unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction
of combustion air. Combustion air is adequate when all fl ames curl into the fi replace and away from the screen.
When
glass fi replace doors are used, operate the gas log set with the doors fully open.
O.
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.
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.
