Vermont Castings GPF

General Information

Model GPF is a decorative gas log set for outdoor use
only. This appliance must not be used for cooking.

IMPORTANT: 

Read all instructions and warnings

carefully before starting installation. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in a possible fire hazard
and will void the warranty.

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or
property damage. Read the installation, operating and
maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or
servicing this equipment.

WARNING: This appliance shall be used only outdoors
in a well-ventilated space and shall NOT be used inside
a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

WARNING: This log set must NOT be installed in an
unvented appliance.

WARNING: This unit is not for use with solid fuel.

NOTE: All new LP cylinders (and in many cases used
cylinders) may contain water, air or other contaminants,
and it is essential that these be removed before filling
the cylinder and placing into service. Water vapor
present in the gas vapor may cause the regulator to
“freeze up” and cause an interruption to the gas flow.
This interruption will cause the unit to shut down. To
prevent this form occurring it is essential that a
qualified individual ALWAYS purge a new tank
thoroughly before placing it into service. It is
recommended that cylinders that have not been used
for extended periods of time also be purged before use.

The installation must conform with Local Codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 or CSA-B149.1 Installation Code.

The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing or the system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/
2 psig (3.5kPa).

The following clearances to combustible construction
must be maintained: Bottom - 0 inches (0mm), Sides
(all around) - 16 inches (406mm) and Top - (7 feet
(2.1m).

Always keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.

Do not locate appliance where it can get excessively
wet. Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the unit and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control which has been
under water.

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.

Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the area of the appliance.

Never leave unit unattended during operation.

Clothing or other flammable materials should not be
hung from the appliance, or placed on or near the
appliance.

Any guard or other protective device removed for
servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to
operating the appliance.

Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service
person. More frequent cleaning may be required as
necessary. It is imperative the control compartment,
burners and circulating air passageways of the
appliance be kept clean.

Inspect the fuel supply connection (including the hose
for LP models) before each use of the appliance.

If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or
the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the
appliance being put into operation.

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with LP models must be used. Replacement pressure
regulators and hose assemblies must be those
specified in this manual.

The LP gas supply cylinder used with LP models must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT).

Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated
area out of reach of children. Disconnected cylinders
must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclose area.

Storage of this appliance indoors is permissible only
it has been disconnected from its fuel supply (natural
gas line or LP gas cylinder).

The LP gas cylinder supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.

The LP gas cylinder used must include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve.

When an LP model is not in use, the LP gas must be
turned off at the supply cylinder.
