• 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.

ous. Improper installation or use of the appliance can cause
serious injury or death from fire, burns, explosion or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
