Note: Installation can be made easier if two or more people coop-
erate in locating and installing the unit.
LOCATING THE UNIT
This appliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning
fireplace, which contains a working flue, and is constructed of
non-combustible materials.
IMPORTANT
Before installing this appliance, have the fireplace and chimney
professionally cleaned to remove any ashes, soot, creosote, or
other obstructions. Perform this cleaning annually after instal-
lation.
IMPORTANT
For units with valve applications, complete pilot placement and
gas train assembly before you place the unit into the fireplace.
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 sooting. Use a heat-resistant seal-
ant. DO NOT seal the chimney flue damper.

U.S. National Fuel Gas Code.
This appliance and its individual shut off valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any system
pressure test in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5 KPA).
Use a system manual shut off valve to shut off the gas supply
to this gas appliance before continuing with installation proce-
dures.

for gas fittings)
2 Adjustable Pipe Wrenches
1 3/8” Nut Driver or Socket (for damper clamp)
BEGINNING INSTALLATION
1. Remove all contents from the burner shipping container (Box
One).
2. Check the contents of the shipping container against the ship-
ping and packing list or the parts list in this manual. Report
any missing or damaged parts to your retailer.
3. Remove any and all protective wrapping from the appliance.
4. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM.
5. Place the fireplace damper in the fully open position and
install the damper clamp over the lip of the damper
(the
damper must be in a fully open position any time that
this appliance is in operation)
. Using a 3/8” nut driver
or socket and turning in a clockwise direction, tighten the
damper clamp bolt until the clamp is secure. The damper
clamp must be in place to maintain the minimum perma-
nent vent opening. See the chart “Minimum Fireplace Di-
mensions” on page 6 for correct venting.
Notice: The State of Massachusetts requires that the chim-
ney flue damper, when used with decorative gas log sets, be
welded open or completely removed.
6. Using two adjustable pipe wrenches (one wrench on the gas
stub, and one wrench on the fitting), remove the existing cap
or gas jet assembly from the gas stub in the fireplace by turn
-
ing the wrench on the gas cap in a counterclockwise direction.
7. Clean the pipe threads on the gas stub using either a wire
brush or steel wool. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the
steel fittings before making any connection.
Notice: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require
Teflon tape or pipe dope.
