WARNING: This appliance assembly contains burner assembly orifices specifically for the
input gas and Btu rating. Modifying or failure to use the factory orifice may cause property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
1. This appliance has been assembled for a specified inlet supply gas. Do not use a natural appliance with a propane gas
inlet supply. Do not use a propane appliance with a natural gas inlet supply.
2. There are many different local codes for gas log appliances. The installation and the provisions for combustion and
ventilation air must conform with local codes and/or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1 (current revision)
3. A qualified personnel, service agent, or the gas supplier must install this appliance.
4. This appliance must be installed only in a solid fuel-burning fireplace with a working flue and constructed of
noncombustible material. Solid fuels cannot be used in a fireplace where a Hargrove gas unit has been installed.
5. A permanent free opening must be provided by either the fireplace chimney or chimney damper to vent flue gas. Any
chimney damper must be fixed in such a manner, which will maintain the permanent free opening at all times. Use Table
II to determine the minimum permanent free opening based upon chimney height and the appliance BTU rate. Refer to
the Damper Stop instructions for additional directions.
6. Two factors, chimney height and the BTU rating determine the minimum free opening. Many other factors will affect the
fireplace drafting. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to assure their fireplace has an adequate draft. If fumes or soot
exist in the room while the gas is burning and the damper is fully opened, it indicates that the fireplace draft is defective.
Do not operate your gas log set until the fireplace draft is corrected. Consult your fireplace specialist.
7. A fireplace screen must be in place when the appliance is operating unless other provisions for an air supply are
provided. The screen shall have openings for the introduction of fresh air for the unit.
8. When glass fireplace doors are used, always operate the gas log appliance with the doors fully open to allow fresh air for
the appliance and to keep the controls from overheating.
9. The minimum inlet supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is 5.0 inches W.C. (natural gas) and 8.0 inches
W.C. (propane gas). The maximum inlet supply pressure is 10.0 inches W.C. (natural gas) and 12.0 inches W.C.
(propane gas).
10. The appliance and it’s individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated for the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shut off valve during pressure tests in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
11. The fireplace chimney or venting system should be examined annually and cleaned as required by a qualified agency.
12. After burning for several hours the logs become fragile and should not be handled. Knocking or rubbing logs can cause
the log to crumble and is not covered under the warranty.
13. Use a soft, dry paintbrush to clean the logs. A periodic dusting may be required to remove carbon deposits. A rubbing
action will remove the soot but will also remove some of the color pigments of the log.
14. To clean the burner, shut off the gas supply, remove burner pan media, and vacuum gas ports. After cleaning replace
burner pan media and light the pilot according to the lighting instructions.
