WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
The appliance and it’s appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi. The appliance must be isolated from
the gas piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! CHECK FOR PROPER VENTING
A properly sized, unobstructed chimney will normally vent all products of combustion. Any odor or smoke detected inside
the room is an indication that the flue is not functioning properly.
SHUT OFF THE BURNER IMMEDIATELY! THE CAUSE OF THE VENTING PROBLEM MUST BE DISCOVERED AND
CORRECTED BEFORE CONTINUED USE OF THE GAS LOG SET.
Continued use with improper venting may cause damage to your fireplace, room furnishings and could cause serious illness.
IF IMPROPER VENTING IS SUSPECTED,
IMMEDIATELY HAVE LOG SET AND CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICED.
The installation and the provisions for combustion and ventilation air must conform with
The National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54
, or
The CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
latest edition.
STEP ONE PREPARATION:
1. Verify that the Valve Assembly is correctly matched to the log set,
burner, and gas supply.
2. Turn off
Fireplace Gas Supply
(Figure 1A) .
3. Thoroughly clean fireplace floor of any ashes and have a qualified
chimney cleaner insure that the chimney flue and firebox are free of
soot, creosote, and loose paint.
4. Attach
Damper Clamp
(Figure 2A) over edge of fireplace
Damper
Blade
(Figure 2B) to prevent damper from fully closing
accidentally. If unable to attach damper clamp, drill a hole
(or holes) in the damper or remove it completely.
IMPORTANT:
THE CHIMNEY DAMPER MUST BE WIDE OPEN AND FIXED IN A MANNER TO MAINTAIN A PERMANENT FREE OPEN-
ING AT ALL TIMES AS OUTLINED ABOVE. THE AREA OF THE FLUE MUST BE NOT LESS THAN 1/10 THE AREA OF THE
FIREPLACE OPENING. THIS GAS LOG SET MUST BE INSTALLED IN A FULLY VENTED METAL OR MASONRY FIRE-
PLACE WITH A WORKING FLUE THAT IS SAFE FOR BURNING A WOOD FIRE. THE FLUE MUST BE FREE OF ANY
OBSTRUCTIONS AND MUST EXHAUST ALL PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION. DAMPER AND GLASS DOORS MUST BE
FULLY OPEN BEFORE LIGHTING OR BURNING FOR PROPER VENTILATION AND TO PREVENT HEAT DAMAGE TO
THE VALVE.
Natural Gas Operating Pressures: Minimum inlet gas supply pressure = 6 inches of water column. Maximum inlet
gas supply pressure is 7 inches of water column. Propane Gas Operating Pressures: Minimum inlet gas supply
pressure = 11 inches of water column. The maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 14 inches of water column.

•
RF-LD burner
should not be installed in a Direct vent, B-Vent and or Vent free fireplace.
•
