nected from the gas supply piping system during any system
pressure test in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5 KPA).

DANGER
To avoid injury and property damage, DO NOT obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air when installing or
operating the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on the
floor or wall of the fireplace. If this is not performed, drafting
may cause pilot outage or excessive sooting. Use a heat-
resistant sealant. DO NOT seal the chimney flue damper.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE YOU BEGIN - Check the gas pressure at the
fireplace stub to ensure proper minimum gas pressure (see the
specifications beginning on page 9 of this manual).
IMPORTANT
BEFORE YOU BEGIN - Ensure that the firebox meets the
minimum specifications of the appliance (see the specifications
beginning on page 9 of this manual).
IMPORTANT
This appliance when first installed and used may produce
odors. This is normal. Open a window when operating the
appliance for the first time.
IMPORTANT
This appliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning
fireplace, which contains a working flue and is constructed of
non-combustible materials.
You must secure the gas burner to the fireplace floor. If not, the
entire unit may move when you adjust the controls. Movement
of unit may cause shifting of the gas logs which leads to
excessive sooting and improper burning. See Figure 5.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a
sunken fireplace. You must raise the fireplace floor with non-
combustible material to allow access to gas log controls.
This will ensure adequate air flow and guard against sooting.
Raise the fireplace floor using noncombustible materials.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE:
1. Place the burner in the fireplace or firebox. Make certain the
entire ember burner is inside the front edge of the fireplace
or firebox.
2. An anchor hole is provided in each burner leg. After cen-
tering the burner, mark the hole positions on the fireplace/
firebox floor. Drill two 5/32 inch diameter holes approximately
1-1/2 inches deep for masonry screws or 1/8 inch hole for
sheet metal screws.
3. Anchor to the fireplace/firebox floor using the screws provid-
ed. Refer to
Figure 5.
