•  Remove all contents from the burner carton.

•  Check the contents of the carton against the parts list in this 

manual. Report any missing or damaged parts to your dealer.

•  Turn off gas supply to fireplace or firebox.

•  Have the fireplace floor and chimney professionally cleaned to 

remove ashes, soot, creosote or other obstructions.

  Have this cleaning performed annually after installation.

•  Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on floor 

or  wall  of  fireplace.  If  not,  drafting  may  cause  pilot  outage  or 

excessive sooting. Use a heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal 

chimney flue damper.

Installing Damper Clamp

Remove all ashes or other debris from the fireplace. If the fireplace 

is equipped with an ash dump be sure to seal the door with furnace 

cement or high temperature silicone. Be sure to check the damper 

for proper operation and verify that the flue passageway is open. 

Attach damper clamp to the vent damper and tighten hold down bolt.
Place the clamp over the lip of the damper and tighten the hold 

down bolt until the clamp is securely attached to the damper. This 

will prevent the damper from accidentally closing.

FIREPLACE PREPARATION

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Always consult your local Building Department regarding regu-

lations, codes or ordinances which apply to the installation of a 

vented decorative gas log set in a solid-fuel burning fireplace.

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on 

the rating plate.

Instructions to Installer

1.   Installer must leave instruction manual with owner after 

installation.

2.   Installer must have owner fill out and mail warranty card 

supplied with the fireplace.

3.   Installer should show owner how to start and operate the 

fireplace.

WARNING

Any change to this appliance or its controls can be danger-

ous. Improper installation or use of the appliance can cause 

serious injury or death from fire, burns, explosion or carbon 

monoxide poisoning.

General Information

Any alteration of the original design, installed other than as 

shown in these instructions or use with a type of gas not 

shown on the rating plate is the responsibility of the person 

and company making the change.

Important

All correspondence should refer to complete Model No., Serial 

No. and type of gas. This information can be found on the data 

plate supplied with the burner.

NOTICE:

 

During initial use of the logs you will detect an odor as 

the logs are cured. This is normal.

WARNING

A fireplace screen must be in place when this appliance is 

in operation. The screen shall allow for introduction of com-

bustion air.

WARNING

When  this  decorative  gas  appliance  is  used  in  a  fireplace 

equipped with glass doors, the glass doors should remain 

open during log set operation. This will maximize the radiant 

heat provided to the surrounding area, and minimize over-

heating of any valve installation. The glass doors may be 

closed when the log set is not in use.
