FIREPLACE PREPARATION
Before fully installing the unit:
•
Turn OFF the gas supply to the fireplace or firebox.
•
Seal any fresh air vents and/or ash clean-out doors located on the floor or wall of the fireplace. If left
unsealed, drafting may cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat resistant sealant. Do not seal the
chimney flue damper.
OPTIONAL VENTED APPLICATIONS
Manual and Remote controlled gas logs may be installed as a vented decorative log set in compliance with
ANSI Z21.60 and National Fuel Gas Code, Section 6.6. Since the gas logs are operated with the damper
open, non-combustible material and minimum mantel requirements do not apply.
Before installing the appliance:
•
Turn OFF the gas supply to the 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 and/or ash clean-out doors located on the floor or wall of the fireplace. If left
unsealed, drafting may cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat resistant sealant. Do not seal the
chimney flue damper.
Install and operate the appliance as directed in this manual.
Damper Stop Installation:
Damper Stop sold separately.
A damper stop must be provided with the unit.
Contact your dealer to obtain one. The damper
stop must be installed as shown in Figure 10 to pre-
vent full closure of the fireplace damper blade and
provide a minimum 29 sq. in. flue opening.
Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue
and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a
qualified chimney cleaner.
This appliance is for installation only in a solid fuel burning fireplace
(masonry of manufactured fireplace) with a working flue and
constructed of non-combustible material.
