32D1999

1.  The  installation,  combustion  and  ventilation  air 

must conform with local codes or, in the absence of 
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 
Z223.1.

2.  This unit complies with 

ANSI Z21.60 • CSA 2.26

 Dec-

orative  Gas Appliance  for  Installation  in  Solid-Fuel 
Burning Fireplace. 

3.  Installation and repair should be done by a qualified 

service  person.  MHSC  Vented  Gas  Logs  must  be 
installed only in a solid-fuel (wood) burning fireplace 
which  can  only  be  constructed  of  non-combustible 
material,  with  minimum  venting  requirements,  see 
installation section.

4.  To prevent malfunction, gas log set and flue should 

be cleaned at least annually by a professional service 
person.  More frequent cleaning may be required due 
to excessive lint from carpeting, etc. It is imperative 
that control compartments, burners and circulating air 
passageways be kept clean.

5.  Correct  installation  of  the  ceramic  fiber  logs,  and 

annual cleaning are necessary to minimize problems 
with sooting. See log placement instructions for proper 
installation.

6.  A damper clamp must be installed to provide the min-

imum permanent vent opening to vent flue products, 
See installation instructions.

7.  Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a gas log 

set is installed.

8. 

This appliance must not be used with glass doors 
in the closed position. 

Provisions for adequate com-

bustion air must be provided, adequate combustion air 
usually results in all flames curling into the fireplace 
away from screen and up the flue.

9.  Keep  room  area  clear  and  free  from  combustible 

materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and 
liquids.

10.  Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard 

of high surface temperature and should stay away to 
avoid burns or clothing ignition.

11.  Young children should be carefully supervised when 

they are in the same room with the gas log set in opera-
tion.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

12.  Do not place clothing or other flammable material near 

the fireplace when the gas logs are in use.

13.  Do not use this gas log set if any part has been under-

water.  Immediately call a qualified service technician 
to  inspect  the  gas  logs  and  replace  any  part  of  the 
control system and any gas control which has been 
under water.

14.  The gas log set and its individual shutoff valve must be 

disconnected from the gas supply piping system during 
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system 
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

15.  The gas log set must be isolated from the gas supply 

piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff 
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply 
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 
1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
