INSTALLATION

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, you must install On/Off Safety Pilot 

Valve Kit (see 

Accessories

, page 19).

If the fireplace does not have a gas supply shutoff valve, one must be installed.

The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be 

drafting properly. To check the vent for proper 

drafting,  light  a  tightly  rolled  newspaper  on 

one end and place it at the inside front edge of 

the fireplace. Observe the smoke and be sure 

the vent is properly drawing it up the chimney. 

If the smoke spills out into the room, extin

-

guish the flame and remove any obstruction 

until proper venting is achieved. The chimney 

flue must remain open a minimum of 3" at all 

times during the operation of this appliance.

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP

Secure the damper stop clamp provided to 

the leading edge of the damper as shown in 

Figure 2. If for any reason this clamp doesn't 

work on your fireplace, another suitable clamp 

or permanent stop must be installed, or the 

damper blade must be cut or removed.
